Yes, that is wrong "than this is all that matters in court".
There are some exceptions though, like with tax evasion, then illegal evidence was excepted, but in general you are right.

Still, in case of the dog: it would be interesting, if there was a case about it, as I am very sure of the practice in reality.

Police will do, what works and with what they can get away. Most people will just comply when the police tells them to open their pockets (note that they don't have to articulate it as an order, the same if police comes to your door without a warrant and they ask if they can come in) assuming the police has the right. (and drug addicts usually do not have a lawer).

I don't know if it would hold up in court as a justification for searching, that a person looked nervous because of a police dog as the person just could have fear of dogs in general, so they likely would avoid it.

(Also, if you happen to live within 30 km of a nation border like me, then police (Zoll) can search pockets and cars all the time without concrete indications. So they could use this tactic without problems, but I have never seen the Zoll doing it, but the normal police in the cities)
Any chance this could improve coding LLMs like Co-pilot? Or would that sort of thing be limited to source code feeds (not that Github has a shortage).
Ditch the "== true", it's redundant. flags.newfeatureA is already either true, or false.
Almost certainly. There is a vast corpus of text which references hands and what they are used for. Likewise there is a vast corpus of images which include hands. A sufficiently advanced statistical model can infer that any image with 6 fingers is a fabrication provided that it has learned how to classify fingers and has enough linguistic knowledge. Contrast this situation with a primarily image based model which will struggle to differentiate what situations detailed hands appear in compared with a patterned rug.

There is an interesting “takeoff” point where models are able to generate enough “interesting” data to train themselves. Asking chatGPT for ml training data on various tasks makes me think we are close to that inflection point.
You're not understanding how lossy compression encoders work. Try recompressing a JPEG a few dozen times. Or take an MP3 and export it from Audacity, open the export, export as MP3 again a dozen times and see what it sounds like.

All those artifacts keep getting amplified every time you re-encode until it's practically just the artifacts. Every time you render and recompress you're losing information, it's lossy compression after all.

Nope. This is the line of thinking that gets people into hot water. He could have said nothing and he would be better off. When in doubt, just say nothing. Nobody asked him about a run on his bank - he just blurted that out in a public call with shareholders on the line.
Any bank would be in a bad position if all of its customers withdrew at once. Everyone knows this, but banks that are doing well don't think about this. The fact that it is clearly top of mind does not inspire confidence.

True! It eliminated balance billing for almost everything except for land ambulances.

Got a $2,200 ambulance bill for taking my daughter 6 miles that was balance billed last year after insurance paid $600. Don’t know how land ambulances in particular managed to avoid being covered by the act, but just something to keep in mind if you have a non-critical injury and don’t need an ambulance.
While I agree with your premise, the "toil" that you mention is a very small use case for a tiny minority of people. And automating it away has always been trivial. What would have taken 30 minutes to write a Python script now takes 5 minutes to come up with the perfect prompt. And then you have to test and be sure that it does what you want. Neat, but not world-changing.

Meanwhile ChatGPT is already being hailed as the Google killer. People are using it to write essays and form opinions. Plenty of online and offline debates contains phrases from ChatGPT repeated verbatim. It's being adopted in newsrooms around the world. So what it is good for in theory and what people are actually using it for are worlds apart. IMO the technology is going to have its "self driving car kills pedestrian" moment very soon because of over-eager and careless users, and that is going to set the entire field back.
The products they offer don't have wide appeal, though they keep technology enthusiasts amused.

You might be right, but I doubt it.

Your acting as if the FDIC only exists to cover a massive systemic failure. In the event of something like that additional intervention may be need sure.

However, the FDIC covers all banks, and is generally involved with smaller banks fail and they are they to insure whatever balance the bank could not cover with its remaining assets when it failed.

I’m not actually aware though what the last incident they actually had to pay out was though. Looking through their historical data on bank failures every one I’ve seen says the insured accounts were assumed by another bank purchasing up the failing bank.

This is the problem with the word intelligence, is it's a word that implies a gradient, but one that humans don't seem to apply correctly.

If you take your dog and watch it's behavior you would say it's an intelligent creature. Yet you wouldn't have it file your taxes (unless you were Sam Bankman-Fried of course, the dog probably would have done better). GPT would likely give you far better information here.

Yet we see computer AI and people automatically assume it has human or super human level intelligence, which LLMs do not, at least at this point. Conversely they do not have 'no intelligence'. We have created some new kind of outside of animal and human intelligence that is not aligned with our expectations.
Well, to be fair, by the time 'everyone knew' it was too late to hedge.
How is it getting information partially correct, but not able to verify the correctness to at least be internally consistent with itself?

> SVB has a fine balance sheet for now, they’re just running out of easy things to sell.

Do they?

If SVB is sitting on a pile of Treasury bonds that mature in 20 years, they can “hold to maturity” and get their principal plus some very low interest rate. But this is useless! In a fantasy world in which all their depositors leave and they keep those bonds for 20 years, they are indeed worth that amount in 20 years, which has a rather lower net present value today, and maybe their investors care and maybe they don’t.

But this is, of course, a fantasy. Those bonds are collateral for deposits, SVB pays 4.5% APY on savings, and that 4.5% doesn’t materialize from the ether. In 20 years, 4.5% multiplies money by 2.4, those T-bonds will not multiply by 2.4, and SVB will slowly but surely end up in the hole. Unless they convince a very large fraction of their depositors to forego interest.

It boggles my mind that banks are apparently permitted to do accounting on a hold-to-maturity basis. Holding a bond to maturity avoids paying a spread and maybe has some tax effects. And that’s it. Otherwise you might as well sell it and buy a new one with the same present value.

(I am not an expert, and I’m going off HN comments for how these rules work. But if the banks really do get to say they plan to hold a fixed-income instrument to maturity and they can value it as something like face value, then I think the system is broken.)

G+ was indeed an internal success in that:

* It made a lot of coddled high-energy employees continue to feel valued and engaged and not jump to a competitor.

* It forced users to unify accounts making cookie joining and user data from different segments much more universally accessible to ads.

* It brought design uniformity to G on the web, which is an important to contrast the Google brand with the otherwise fragmented Android space.

* Lasting revenue and user data from Google Photos and Drive.

Google plus was Google doing what it does best: solving Google problems. It never had a chance as a product, but they didn’t need for it to win. They needed to re-consolidate data input to Ads and defend against a talent drain.
Hmm. I'm well aware that you've been here for many years! In fact I kind of referenced that in my comment ("You've said so many times. I appreciate that you believe [etc.]")—so I'm not sure how I gave the impression otherwise. But I certainly didn't intend to and I'm sorry.

I don't know what to tell you about "moderation interventions seeming partial". I'm basically just responding to people breaking the rules where I see them breaking the rules. It isn't a matter of what people's views are—at least I don't think it is, and I can tell you FWIW that I'm frequently scolding accounts whose underlying views I happen to agree with, as well as ones I happen to disagree with.

As for slurs abounding—if you're seeing comments like that not getting moderated, overwhelmingly the likely explanation is that we didn't see them. I don't see anything close to even 10% of what gets posted here.

Brandon, I’m curious how the goals of your representation differ from, say, Jaxprs.

Why should I look at Aesara’s representation of multi-dimensional array programs when I might already use JAX’s?

Does Aesara support a staging transformation that allows me to construct programs in your representation from a subset of Python?

I’m personally interested in the answers to these questions, given what I know about IREE, JAX, and XLA — as a user in the space, I haven’t been able to determine how Aesara would actually benefit me over JAX.

Note that I know that Aesara can use JAX as a backend — but I’m trying to ascertain what one extra layer buys me.

Historically, that is what it meant to be middle class. Before there was an established middle class, there was only the upper class - aristocracy who inherited wealth and land - and the poor. You might find a rich merchant from time to time but they were the exception and not a class. Once the industrial revolution kicked in, it became possible for a large amount of people to amass wealth without having inherited it. If you were able to do that, you were part of the new "middle class". Of course, there is often much sniffing and consternation over the super-wealthy middle class occasionally trying to elbow their way up the social ladder into the upper class.

If this woman's father bought her a trip in 1959, then he may have made his money in the 1920s, when the middle class was only just firming up. It would have been correct at the time to think of him as middle class, even though to us today he seems pretty wealthy. That's because his class status was defined by him being a businessperson who presumably did it himself, as opposed to having inherited wealth, land, or title.

The rise of the middle class was the cause of much cultural introspection at the time. There's a lot of thoughtful and beautiful literature about it, like Howards End[1] and The Forsyte Saga[2].

Of course, today "I'm middle class" means "I earn enough to own a car and take a vacation once a year." But that's a modern shift of definition and not quite what it meant for this woman's father in the first half of the century.

> OpenAI handed this tool to people with effectively no guidance or instructions so that they can trade on the glow of misconceptions and harvest user data.

When one logs on to Chat GPT, they get the following notices:

> This is a free research preview.

> Our goal is to get external feedback in order to improve our systems and make them safer.

> While we have safeguards in place, the system may occasionally generate incorrect or misleading information and produce offensive or biased content. It is not intended to give advice.

> Conversations may be reviewed by our AI trainers to improve our systems.

Effectively no guidance or instructions indeed. Perhaps ChatGPT is sometimes confidently incorrect because it learned from online commenters.
Actually it was from the iOS 7 transition guide:

I disagree. Toil is part of everyone’s job and what creates procrastinators. I used it recently to help me write a browser extension, where I find writing vanilla js and xpath expressions very tedious (just a bunch of syntax lookup) and would not have even bothered in the first place.

If you approach it with the right mindset, it’s extremely valuable.

This is the fundamental reason large organizations struggle in the long run. If a cisco vp started a network generative ai initiative tomorrow, and in a year posted some results - do you think those results would ever be received badly? Or would they be massaged until they were good?
Was it really planned for that? This sounds like just a list of initially unplanned effects it had, used as internal PR spin at best.
That's almost every reddit thread I've been involved in.

Oratory prowess is way more important than accuracy. If you ever want to "lose a debate" on reddit, pick something that's counter-intuitive or widely misunderstood and use nuance and citations in your defense. You'll get cyberbullied every time - sometimes even banned from the sub.
Oh right, and if your need is to open a specific site only, your best choice would be to write your own browser heavily optimized just for this particular site, instead of using Chrome. Nonsense.
If I can crack any piece of DRM, or any digital restrictions, I will do it for free and release it for free. If publishers can't make paying for content more convenient than torrenting or downloading it from a random website, it is their fault. Also, the sense of accomplishment is too great to ignore once you finally crack it.
It's not clear from the context, but I would guess that for the one that worked, they gave it several examples in one conversation and eventually it picked up the syntax. The "dozens of hours of training" that didn't work, and can't work, are because ChatGPT doesn't immediately roll all conversations back into the training set. It also specifically told them that its knowledge cutoff of 2021 means OpenAI will not knowingly add this information to the model.

Windows 12: Release Date and Everything Else We Know
Treating a session or IO object as mutable seems perfectly reasonable. Problems arise only when multiple parts of a program mutate these without coordination.

Even everyday decisions like whether to copy an array passed to a constructor can be fraught with danger. Is the caller going to retain a reference and mutate the array after I check invariants? This simple yet intractable problem lurks in every imperative language except Rust.

Channels in Go are another great example. CSP is a sound approach for safe concurrency, yet the Go language offers no assurance that references passed over a channel are exclusive to the receiving goroutine.

I don't see how languages like Ruby or Python or Go could incrementally add a borrow checker. It would break too much. Returning to other programming languages after internalizing Rust compiler warnings is really eye-opening.

I have not tried Crystal. I also haven't written OCaml, though I did dabble in F#. Rust's match expression was definitely inspired by OCaml.
Ask HN: How a non dev ops host things to the world?
I've been a dev for a while, mostly working in already setup companies where my merge trigger something that deploys the code on AWS and end of story.

But I'm highly interest now in building my own stuff, maybe a simple web app with nest + next + postgress or whatever that I can capitalize (a Saas??), maybe a game for icebreakers (like wikitrivia, wordle, etc) just for fun.

How do people host this things? How do I even start learning this? Should I really try my lucky on AWS stuff and pray to not wake up with a bill in my credit card?

Sounds so easy to deploy a static thing in GitHub pages but so scary to deploy any API on AWS.

Emergent properties is one of the places where pure understanding tends to break down under incomprehensibly huge problem space.

For example people have been doing accidental science the start of human agriculture by selective breeding without understanding the mechanics of DNA transfer. And your right Geneticists look for answers and attempt to minimize the size of the problem space in order to attempt to find answer faster, but the staggering number of interactions that can be caused by a single gene expression pretty much require to pick one place to look at with a microscope and ignore everything else going on around it in order to get an answer in a human lifetime.
