Fixing typos in "search" illustrates the difference between "search" as a means to find out whether something exists in a database versus a means for an advertising company to direct the searcher to the most optimum page for supporting advertising services.1

What is the difference between showing someone the winning advertisement versus showing them the winning "search result".1 The advertising company makes a decision according to secret criteria which ad/search result to show. A long, successful tradition of using alphabetical or chronological sorting for information, objective criteria, is jettisoned in favour of manipulation for commercial benefit of a middleman. The advertising company gets to decide what comes first and last, according to subjective criteria. Then make it infeasible to see what is last.

Google has admitted that in the majority of cases, an appropriate ad does not exist to pair with a given search query. That is what I call the noncommercial web. It has little direct value to "tech" companies and advertisers. Yet "tech" company intermediaries want to surveil and control our access to it nonetheless. As the parent states, "most of the internet is walled off."

In sum, the advertising company, and "AI", allow people to search for web content that exists, cf. allowing people to search for whether certain web content exists. The advertising company will make "suggestions". However not all content that exists is made searchable by the advertising company. If the content has no commercial value, e.g., it is "unpopular", it is considered garbage.3

1. When we search Wikipedia, typos do not result in "guessing" by an advertising company. If something does not exist, Wikipedia does not try to guess "what we want".

2. The term "winning" applies because the advertising company makes the process an actual auction or an effective contest.

3. If the web is mostly garbage, then its users should be entitled to know that through discovery. It seems as if the discoverable web, the one optimised for the advertising company, is mostly commercial garbage anyway. It is difficult to be serious about "AI" when it is trained on mostly garbage.

Depending on the law, yes. Passing a law to silence your critics or your competition is absolutely Orwellian. It's no different than burning/banning books because they contradict the ideology of those in power. It's the establishment of the Ministry of Truth to determine what is and what is not acceptable for the peasants to know. At it's core it is the suppression of the free exchange of ideas.

Now, an orderly society cannot have an absolute freedom of speech in all facets, but a free society should be able to tolerate a significant amount of objectionable speech and tolerate those people who wish to consume that speech.

How does Bay Area fit in the narrative? From my personal point of view, Bay Area, where I live, offers very little to its residents: public schools have super low standards and low teaching qualities. Many of the schools use seemingly run-down portables while public schools in other states, such as WA, have amazing buildings and facilities. More than 1/3 of the families in the Bay Area choose private schools, the highest ratio in the US. The housing price has been through the roof. The average commute time is north of an hour. California also has higher taxes for income and business than most of the other states. Yet, people have been flocking to California (except last year) and tech companies still choose the Bay Area for their headquarters.

As a rule, if law enforcement has a warrant then it's going to be difficult to prevent them from gaining access. You can self-host and encrypt but that's difficult for mainstream users to do, and even for experts, it limits the tools you have access to. You can also be prosecuted for refusal to decrypt a device since SCOTUS hasn't yet ruled on the scope of the 5th amendment's protections with respect to encrypted personal devices.

I think the best solution is to set content to auto-delete (unless flagged) after some period of time. You can't turn over what you don't have.

You can, and some people will do exactly that.

Ideally, new versions of GPT (and other LLMs) will be also trained on the newly added, mostly hallucinated data when using Wikipedia as part of the training set, baking those past hallucinations into the model, allowing other users to get additional hallucinated facts that fit the existing fictitious data, slowly creating a new "GPT cinematic universe" for e.g. small towns in Nebraska.

And if people fact check it with Bing, there is a good chance it will say "Yeah, that checks out, here's Wikipedia and <some Wikipedia mirror> as a source". A creative derivation of XKCDs citogenesis[1] :D

-"Rust and WebGPU. Advanced optimizations using Rust ..."

-"Safe implementation using Rust to eliminate core dumped ..."

My take - I do not give a flying hoot what it is written in. When / if I see end result that actually matters to users: say a tool competitive with something like Solidworks wake me up. And just for perspective - I do not remember SW ever core dumping on me even though it is written in "unsafe" C++.

Wait, could the changer swap disks automatically? That's super neat! I saw one a data tape changer once and I've always been fascinated by the mechanical aspects of computer equipment in the past.

(on a side note, I am one of my only friends who actually enjoys going to the computer history museum. I just wish I could interact with the old machines. I wish there was a "come learn a bit of cobol, fortran, or <<machine specific assembly>> and write a small program for our 1401" option available.)
Well, if I can mostly ignore fussy ownership and borrowing stuff and just clone everything, all the time, getting rid of clones exclusively in places that I profile and learn to be in the hot path, and the resulting code will be idiomatic Rust, that would be welcome news to me. That's where I'm coming from.

My impression from Klabnik's most recent comment is that this isn't the case. Which is fine! It lines up with my previous assumptions about Rust idiom.

Parent post makes none of the above claims. You're creating a straw-man.
In the strict definition, it's deterministic: you get the same response for the same prompt, each time (given the exact same model).

But the prompt is parameterised. The bulk of the prompt is requesting a list of guests and speakers to be extracted, and the episode synopsis is appended as the "parameter". And I've noticed that the variation of the parameter changes what the overall prompt returns... so it might start being less reliable at responding with valid JSON, for example.

So it's instance-deterministic but, across a range of parameters, class-fuzzy, if that makes sense?
Google's quoting has never worked well for me since they made the shift away from keyword searching. Oddly, before they made that shift, it did work.
Very true.

There was a young woman highlighted by a popular youtuber for her odd behaviour in a gym recently. She was filming herself exercizing for views and dollars. The rough moment was when everyday gym guys walked past her. She felt pressured enough by their presence to accuse them of being creeps and mocked them on her video feed while complaining at the guys in person. The guys were doing normal gym chores ignoring her.

A young adult has gotten so far into the mental space of her social media job that she is hypersensitive to any attention, or the implication of attention, in real life.

Splitting a person's psyche into cyberspace and real life when your livelihood is on the line, is a real skill. Training healthy habits into full time workers could possibly help.

Its use is very much in question - but it is certainly a powerful tool, and that combination is worrisome. Much like the social graph, it is going to have a profound impact on how we interact online and with each other, and that impact will not be known for some time, even though we may be feeling it now, unawares. In a decade, maybe less, we will have some picture of the use and power of these models, there will be meetings in front of congress on how tech companies have used them, etc.

Just look at what is happening in education right now. It is ultimately going to force a complete reinvention of the written assignment. This is just the beginning, even if the tool appears to be a mostly-useless toy for any real-world applications.
Do you have any recommendations what cameras to use? Rather simple set of requirements, but I really struggle to find anything suitable: compatible with zoneminder/motioneye, poe, no cloud nonsense, outdoor weatherproof, preferably non-chinese, reasonably priced. Don't need NVR. Was eyeing hikvision, but there seems to be mixed feelings about them.
Back of napkin approach:

Allow-list some sites that already have a good reputation for useful results (probably anything scraped for summary snips).

Penalize all other sites based on the quantity of ads and similar non-content.

Use the old web search core on what's left.
> They behave as 2nm transistors would behave in terms of spec.

And how do 2nm transistors behave?
I use UniFi devices throughout my home but the cameras (G3 specifically) are buggy and frequently disconnect, and don't auto reconnect. Basically useless.

Over the year end holidays I was traveling and set one up to monitor my front yard. There was actually an incident while I was gone and I remoted in to find the camera offline, totally missed it when it should have had perfect perspective. The police asked me for video and in this case I would have shared it, but alas could not. Sucks as I have the CloudKey box for video storage, but its very undependable in my experience.

My #1 complaint is that for all of the complexity there is no primitive to draw a circle in PDF, instead any ‘circle’ you see in a PDF is an approximation based on Bézier curves. (I thought I was uniquely untalented because I couldn’t draw anime characters with Bézier curves but when I looked at the resource packs for my favorite game I found my favorite illustrator couldn’t do it either.)

I did a deep dive into PDF because I was pitching and sketching out the ultimate test extraction system for corporate use and figured PDF was the most important format to support and I could say boy is it tricky to get the correct text out with the structure properly mapped unless some of those obscure features were in use and it would still be pretty hard then.
Recently I watched a film critic analyze the new Andor Star Wars show as anti-fascist art. He (rightfully) predicted the analysis video would be demonetized for using the wrong words and images.
For comparison, I recently paid $10k to trench 200ft and lay cable of sufficient size for a 400A electrical service entrance upgrade. The utility upgraded the distribution transformer at their cost. That $20k is very reasonable for what was provided. The cost for a solar install is roughly $2-$4/watt (panels, inverters, and all the electrical to grid tie), depending on geographic location. Batteries add to that. High level, this is the cost unfortunately.

On site generation typically doesn't save you a substantial amount until you're far from the utility hand off, where they're going to charge you hundreds of thousands of dollars to connect to your structure. From an energy sovereignty perspective, yeah, it's a reasonable path if you already have a sufficient service entrance to grid tie and can afford the necessary trimmings. I've talked to folks who have gone big and spent ~$200k+ in the process; that is beyond the means of many though.
Cool, thanks for sharing your github link.

Closing in on the Perfect Code (2004)
It's not an alternative to NMEA, thought it definitely started as an open source replacement of NMEA. Cooler heads prevailed and the NMEA body opened some of the IP to SignalK developers. So instead of the opensource hardware that used SignalK as originally envisioned we have the same NMEA based proprietary hardware that SignalK ingest and convert to JSON.
The BBC offers pretty exhaustive RSS feeds (https://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/b006qykl.rss) so I'm not exactly sure what ChatGPT even did here (Maybe the Dewey classification? Which is of dubious usefulness).
"Is there a home solution as easy as Nest or Ring and which offers the same feature set?"

I highly doubt it, for the fact that many of the features are incompatible with the goal of privacy and convenience.

There are plenty of on-site options that offer the bulk of the benefits, like self contained NVR systems. Once you want things like texts, web access, etc then it gets tricky. Those typically aren't offered in a secure and easy way.
Oh yeah I see it now. My bad.

- Typescript definition (turn raw html markup >> well-formed JSON)

- Dewey Decimal classification/score

So probably combination of those two

>Under CCPA/CPRA in California, you can request that personal information is removed. There are half a dozen other laws around the US that allow for similar requests in different forms.

CCPA/CPRA is a minor start, IMHO.

Telecoms need to collect and store usage information (including call detail) to perform billing functions.

As with most such laws, there are loopholes big enough to drive a column of tanks through.

And many other corporations collect and store data both for billing and because they can [mine|analyse|sell] such data.

Just being able to request removal of "data" isn't nearly enough.

Unless there are unambiguous opt-in data collection/retention policies, with clear, concise language about how such data could be used.

What's more, such policies should apply to any and all third parties providing services to corporations with such data.

Further, as another comment[0] in this discussion pointed out, the Third-Party Doctrine should be gutted and a requirement that all government agencies collect data for law enforcement purposes through the issuance of warrants by judges that specify the "probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."[1]

This is (unfortunately) a wide-ranging issue, with a growing number of industries (autos, electronics, "cloud" services, etc., etc., etc.) collecting, storing, using and selling all sorts of PII.

From a privacy perspective, this is a nightmare, the CCPA notwithstanding -- even in California.

In my experience PDFs are mostly used to ensure what you're seeing is what everyone else is seeing. If I sent out a Word or Powerpoint doc, I could be 90% sure someone would have a formatting issue. Maybe their default margins are different or they don't have the same fonts installed. It's a better format for the reader when they don't require edit access.

Google Docs + MS Office has probably figured this out by now, but there's also ton of historical momentum keeping it in use.

As a financial auditor I remember being baffled how people would go out of their way to create paper processes. A spreadsheet that requires confirmation would be printed, signed, stapled to another piece of paper - all so I can remove the staples and scan it to track digitally in our audit software. At least I knew sending them a PDF would come back looking the same...

> If there were more jobs, more people would consider moving to Alaska.

I wouldn't bet on a surge of people. Even in Anchorage, the sun comes up mid-morning and sets mid-afternoon in the winter. And about half the year the high temperature struggles to get above freezing. A typical summer temperature tops out in the mid 60s, and summer is short.

Sure, some people will still move there, but it's not just jobs that makes Alaska a tough sell.

But why would a compiler engineer that's not familiar with Ruby work on Ruby? They have so many other languages to choose from.

> the team maintaining it was two people. [...] But this isn't a problem. The symbolization service works and is basically feature complete.

As long as it works, it is no problem. But given any larger change somewhere in the stack and management not being aware that these two folks have that side project, maybe they even left, and there will be problems.

Either a project has dedicated staff or it doesn't exist and just survives.

I don't know how critical groups internally are, but I assume with the general decline of e-mail compared to chat, video calls, etc. (insert joke about googles chat tools if you like ...) I would assume that this will be home less of relevance. Over time as well and drop more and more off.
More like:

Police: Hey can we get a warrant for all the Ring cameras on this street. Oh and we know for a fact that there's a guy with more exterior cameras who has refused to share footage with us.

Judge: Sure, I'll sign that warrant. Nobody would be dumb enough to put Ring cameras in their house.

Guy who is that dumb: I'm not going to fight the warrant even though I got a letter saying I can totally prevent my interior cameras from being included in the data Ring turns over.

People send emails with monospace fonts to internal Google Groups all the time. If there is a bug in the external Groups, there likely? is a bug in the internal Groups. If that's true, then it will be fixed soon.

The internal read/unread indicator has always been janky as well. But the point is that Google depends too much on Groups internally to let it die.
When I'm looking for web pages, though, I actively don't want to use natural language. Natural language is too vague and open to interpretation. To make it work, you have to get very precise in your wording, and it's just easier to get the right precision using keywords and operators.
