First you are tightly coupling your CI to your developers machine, that in itself is already a pretty bad idea. Second, if one employee wants to install htop on their machine, then every employee will have to install it, this can quickly become a problem when you have 500+ developers. Third, I think you missed the first part on the second quote, you are FORCING every developer to not only use linux but also to use one distribution that is pretty niche.
Reading that article gave me the "Just sending a bunch of random people up in a rocket to go around the moon, what could possibly go wrong?" vibes.
Perhaps I misunderstood it? Or it's poorly written?

I parsed this as two mostly separate commitments. Expanded the quote in the comment above.
What's terrifying after the cultural secretiveness of sex, is the legal position this puts a minor; if a 17 year old goes to the authorities, some jurisdictions would legally be required to file against the victim for creating child pornography.
Sorry, the future is AI turtles all the way down to HAL.
To me this is still somewhat involved with “digital” freedoms. That freedom being the right to opt out or to not use “digital” systems.

The same thing applies to in other instances for example the move to a more cashless society I think the right to use cash is still important for a litany of reasons.

That right to opt out is important especially if it is even more invasive than the analog/real world equivalent.

Chances are if you have a tutor you are paying good money for it, and have made appointments at regular intervals, that probably helps with motivation too. I think its possible that chatchpt and other learning ai will end up being like how office hours are used today in college. Like office hours, these tools are available for everyone, but for one reason or another not everyone will bother with them or use them to their fullest.
This. The hype is getting out of control. Bet money we'll have a bubble 1 or 2 years from now.
It was the same with crypto bros, etc...

Heck, even zuck is steering away from vr and going all in with "AI".

What? There are a lot of non-coders out there, and they could absolutely use an LLM to ask it to create scripts to run. In fact I along with a few of my friends already do this, I recently asked ChatGPT to figure out how to integrate two libraries together after I copy-pasted to docs from each (now with the GPT-4 32k token limit).

> You mean like copyright holders? Patent holders? Somebody with a trade secret?

These are legal fictions that exist because the state’s monopoly on violence. Like I said, I understand the motivation to enable e.g. book writers to seek profit for their work. That’s about where my sympathy ends, especially when those mechanisms are abused for petty control by entities making billions. I hardly view them as ethical constructs, in fact I think the vast majority of restrictions based on these are unethical and immoral.

> Why wouldn't you propose as counterexample a model like medicine's "informed consent"

I think there’s a disconnect here. “Consent” in a sexual or medical context is ethically necessary due to the fact that the asker wants to perform acts directly upon/with the concerned party. Consent to play outside or make use of information does not involve the intimate invasion of one’s person, and really does not need to involve this other arbitrary party at all. This is what I was trying to express in my previous reply.

I don’t see why anyone is ethically entitled under these conditions to insert themselves as a governing authority of how people use information. It’s not even a realistic expectation to hold, information wants to be free and people will do what they want with it regardless.

> You're just saying "I don't think people should disagree with me"

I mean, we are talking about ethics here after all. The best I can do is disagree with your conception of consent and make my own arbitrary value judgement.
As you write, you have no real clue about banking. Let me tell you, all that you wrote, and more, much more, can be said about every single big bank out there, anywhere.

How do I know this - I work for one of those, not (and never) CS. Since I started ours is rather spot clean from what I can see (but IT is very far from those who make similar decisions), what I see is regulatory downfall from their fuckups 15-30 years ago. Some of it was outright amoral criminal behavior, but most was due to bad processes and way too much incompetence in ie KYC checks. Too much focus on current cash flow, way too few questions about where the money came from. That's thing of the past in regulated markets (but then you have the whole universe of tax havens, some also in US or conveniently around)
> have not been found guilty and are still awaiting trial

PIMA had an interview with a sheriff recently. The figure that stood out to me was when he said it takes an average of 1.8 years for people in his jail to finally get to trial.

1.8 years in jail before they even decide if you're guilty. Hard to even imagine.

This is where I feel like legislation is pointless. In 10 years you'll be able to run GPT-4 on an old phone. Imagine what a fairly well funded group will be able to do. There's no amount of legislation or technological guardrails that are getting this genie back in the bottle.

Anyone who uses the term "deeply afraid" to describe their feelings towards what amounts to just a smaller version of their laptop... I just don't know what to say really.

What exactly is the silver bullet here unless you were planning on doing this exact project? Seeing someone else solve a problem with the Pi? There must be thousands of instances of people solving problems with a Pi on the internet before this post. And it sounds like you're familiar with them, since you cite statistics on the kinds of problems people run into when using the Pi.
Why does it need extreme caution?
Shame, some of the comments were quite helpful.
I could not get into either articles, but..

One can hope at the very least all the execs bonuses for the past 2 years need to be refunded to help pay for what the FDIC needs to pay out.

Why ? Yes, they said the Taxpayer will not pay, but that is a kind of lie of omission. The Fees Banks Pay the FDIC will be raising, that was stated. But where do these fees come from ? You know who, we will pay higher fees on our Bank accounts and higher interest rates on Loans and probably Credit Cards.

None of the journalist asked or brought up that point. So yes, the Taxpayer will pay for so they would not loose the amounts over 250,000. Again, no risk for the well-to-do but "main street" pays.

If the taxpayer is going to have to bailout CS then I will demand that CS becomes property of the state. I consider the SNB part of the state so if this is going to cost the SNB a large sum I will not be happy.

Also what were all the stress tests for and the new liquidity requirements that Swiss banks had to follow unlike SVB etc.?

Edit: According to the media the bank does not have any liquidity problem but a reputation problem. There has been so much bad news in the last few years that people just don't trust CS. However according to the FINMA the bank is stable and worst case they would get liquidity from the SNB.

The regulators are considering possibly splitting off the Swiss part of CS and some other scenarios.
I'm not certain what legal consequences she may face as a result - I also slightly don't care, as it's far enough outside the bounds of that which I can control that I don't have reason to pay close attention to it.

> were charges filed against the liar?

I don't know.

> What was the lie?

Particular claims made about events and the timing of said events were simply wrong, rather conveniently so. The defense eventually was able to point out the accused was literally living across the country, with solid evidence thereof, at the time of the claimed events.

> Did the liar have to pay the costs incurred?

I don't think said person has any resources to pay. But the accused didn't exactly have much to their name either. It was a mess all around.
I was "management" in an infamous bank.

I recently subscribed to the NetworkChuck YT channel and saw this.

Basically with the click of a button you can launch a browser on a remote VPS, which streams a video to your computer of what's happening in that remote browser.

It's not a big deal to take something built for CentOS7 and port to a later Red Hat (or clone) distro. It appears that they released a setup for what they use, which is CentOS7.
I joined their forums about 10 years ago and asked a question about a business idea. Basically I was asking about starting a gold/silver business directory thing based on some business described in the book. I was trying to understand some basics of what was being said. My post was not well received and MJ himself came in to tell me what an idiot I was.

I don't think I asked any more questions, and I left the PDF in the ash heap of my reading pile.

Yeah, the ACLU definitely feels more like a political super PAC (the Democratic counterpart to the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity, perhaps) than it does a civil liberties union.

> The Innocent Project estimates that 1% of all prisoners are innocent.

It's worse than this.

The Innocence Project estimates 2-10% of convictions are wrongful.

But even worse, many of the people we're talking about are still awaiting trial-- presumably they are innocent at a greater rate than those convicted.
I don't think it's very salient that LLMs make stuff up, or can be manipulated into saying something they have been trained not to say. An LLM applies a statistical model to the problem of probability assignment over a range of tokens; a token of high probability is selected and the process repeats. This is not what humans do when humans think.

Given that GPT-4 is a simply large collection of numbers that combine with their inputs via arithmetic manipulation, resulting in a sequence of numbers, I find it hard to understand how they're "thinking".
>1. Performance. In terms of latency, this is adding an extra round-trip to each page request (to get the metadata). It's also likely going to load different resources from different servers (hostname, IP) preventing connection reuse. I guess they can't even start fetching data until the full page has loaded?

fair point. We use same technique as lazy-load (you have to wait the full page has loaded).

>3. Economics. If running peer servers really was profitable

And this is NOT self evident boilerplate. It's quite the opposite, and I do not believe any company would get a product out without reviewing the T&C.

As an EFF supporter I'm a little worried about this phenomenon where nonprofits sprawl out into many unrelated areas. The ACLU, for example, started off very focused on civil liberties but in the Trump era it seemed to generalize into opposing everything Trump did.

Which, I mean, I don't support the average thing that Trump did, but it started to feel like donating money to the ACLU was just the same as donating it to the Democratic Party. And isn't someone else going to be better at spending that money effectively, if your area of expertise is "everything"?

Similarly, here in the Oakland area I was looking for food banks to donate to, but there seems to be no organization that simply provides food to needy people. Everything I could find was like, well the name of our organization is the Oakland Blah Blah Food Bank, but in practice we regrant donor money to many other causes, we do many other things, we don't really just provide food to people.
My (limited) understanding is that a state chartered bank is still regulated at the federal level.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_regulation_in_the_United_...:

a Nevada state bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System would be jointly regulated by the Nevada Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve.
How would you define “a mess”, and also why “dumb straightforward code” is a mess, if you think so?
I don't get it. Why not just use "serif", "sans-serif" and "monospace"? What's the value of specifying specific fonts such as "Charter" or "Dejavu Sans"?
I suppose regulation is part of what I had in mind, but it would be really tough to prove anything in court (I feel) so regulation might be impossible.

Maybe we require transparency in how the model is trained, what the prompt is, etc. It’s fine if a corporation wants to build something that increases their profits, and they can invest into training the model and use it as a competitive advantage.

But I feel there is some level of disclosure owed to the consumer. Not sure what it would be.
The U.S. needs to establish a process for collecting externality taxes from companies. Of course, it's impossible to track all externalities, but certain ones might be easier to track and it would make companies think twice before getting into industries without doing their due diligence on safety upfront.

Imagine if Big Oil knew they'd be on the hook for trillions of dollars in damages due to catastrophic climate change. As of right now, the U.S. gov is essentially making the citizens pay (in taxes) for the destruction climate change is causing, even though Big Oil has known for decades that they directly contribute to accelerated climate change.
Justice delayed is justice denied. That’s a fundamental principle of common law.

Unfortunately, in the manner of your rant, you may have strengthened skeptics resolve to stay away from crypto even more. Besides the hundreds of scams abound, the past few years, a major theme of skepticism here has been around the use case of crypto in finance. I don't believe anybody's really had a discussion or a good case to make for the use of crypto in finance. When you have disagreements about your agreements or plain mistakes made, you need a resolution. This is what centralization offers. But instead of addressing the obvious, you join the queue of many peddlers before, who harp about the spectacle and chide people for not learning about the spectacle, while not showing the spectacle.

Can you help me understand how you think that ties into the above point?
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Open is closed
They're in jail, by definition they have a restricted set of constitutional rights (they are incarcerated, ie they are not free!)

For example, they can't own firearms. It may seem obvious that a person in jail can't possesses a gun, but this is a very specific and enumerated right in the Bill of Rights! This right is so enshrined that it is not obvious that it can be restricted after being released. See for example ACB's jurisprudence.

So, if even a person released from jail is denied an enumerated right of the Bill of Rights (2A), it stands to reason that many other rights, (especially ones not as obviously constitutionally mandated) are also forfeited whilst actually in jail as chosen by the legislators and agreed by the courts.

Example:

- Freedom against search w/out a warrant. Inmates' cells are searched without a warrant

- Right to life. Capitol punishment is (unfortunately) legal and certainly constitutional.

- Right to vote.

Note some of these are partially retained whilst in prison, just not in prison itself. For example, the cops cant search your house w/out a warrant just because you're in jail.

They also retain some rights, fully or partially

- They retain their fifth

- They partially retain their first (they can worship as they please, but their freedom of speech is restricted).

- They obviously retain their right against "cruel and unusual punishment", since the amendment's purpose is for the incarcerated. Devil's in the details, unfortunately.

- they even retail some right against search in jail, for example the police cant listen in to conversations with council.

So when the prison guards search one's prison mail, it is quite legal because you lost one's constitutional right against being searched.

Does that fulfill your requirements or did you mean something different?
specifically the weird discrepancy when porting anything there, the lack of bootcamp support (used to be a thing). just feels kinda like iOS on the desktop give all of the restrictions. The universal codesigning and difficulty with making macos/ios apps unless you have a developer account and pay $100 is also a slap in the face.

just gives off an unprofessional vibe.

but to be honest I would never use windows for development either unless I'm only using WSL2

You should feel bad for doing it, because it only contributes to the growing divide between people. There's a fairly large cohort of people with opinions that straddle both sides of the aisle from whom you couldn't fill in most of their opinions based on just a single opinion.

(You give it the image and prompt it with the 1000 classes and ask it which one the image belongs to).

I'm surprised ClosedAI didn't include this kind of benchmark. I guess it doesn't do too well?

Recently went through the same thing. The person was moved twice so all the money on the app was lost since it was a different system at a different prison. Then at the last place, they changed vendors and the money on the app was lost again. I could've gotten it back, but I would've had to jump through a bunch of hoops and made a bunch of calls so I didn't worry about it which I'm sure is what they were hoping for by making it such an ordeal in the first place.
