The EFF has always been deeply interested in the intersection of privacy and the digital world. That has oftentimes manifested as privacy in the digital world, but not always. This is one of those examples. The EFF is saying "privacy and this digital service cannot coexist; the digital service must therefore lose, and we know what we're talking about because we are well-versed in this policy area."

Also, a lot of not-for-profit entities intentionally branch out because such is the nature of helping the group of people they want to help. The term for it is intersectionality. That not-for-profits are heavily siloed is less a matter of intent and more a matter of history. If you are a food bank, you recognize that your intended client base needs food. But, second-order to that, why do they need to come to you? Is it because they need a job? Well, they're already here, so why not engage in skills enhancement and training? And since you'll be at the city council anyway doing advocacy for access to food, why not also advocate for more housing? If those continue to be siloed, you wind up with three separate groups, working at separate-but-related aims, each with their own overhead and inefficiencies.

It's vertical integration, in the not-for-profit advocacy space.
> What you really mean is we have the choice between implementing a dark pattern or finding another job and letting someone else implement it.

You incorrectly reduced the available options.

Here are a couple more options:

- convince your peers and supervisors why using dark patterns is trash

- just don't implement dark patterns and rather focus on useful features and bugfixes

- be loud about your distain of such request for dark pattern implementation and tweet, blog, write about it.

Just to be clear, the official images are definitely not at risk, and I say that as a Docker captain.

Official images are hugely important to Docker, now and going forward.
Do companies abuse linear regressions?
I think a requirement of AGI is a feedback loop to allow continuous execution and “consciousness”.
Ben said he's talking to you all next week! Looking forward to it.

Our current integrations include Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, Propertyware, Buildium, Rent Manager and Rentvine. On the roadmap are Appfolio, MRI and ResMan.
Yes that’s the one I use for my daughter ;-)
Projectile use by non-human organisms
This is the truth. The legal exception is literally carved out in the 13th amendment; the government reserved the right to make slaves of its prisoners.
So the idea is one CPU can have hundreds of gigabytes of ram at a time and the speed of the cpu is no problem because you can scale the process over as many CPUs as you want?
That doesn't make it a lie to say that it "enhances details". You are discontent with the method used.
It's almost like they created intentional ambiguity here when they renamed the company (dotCloud) to match the name of the open source tool, then renamed the open source project behind the tool to something else (Moby), but kept it for the command line tool, while also combining the name Docker into their product offerings, including Engine and Deskop, that handle completely different parts of managing containers. That's not even including registries, dockerfiles, Compose, Swarm, etc. and the ambiguity around where those sit in the a Venn diagram.

That's some Google-level naming strategy there.
Their excuse is that scaling AI required scaling the money. And they realised this long ago. So they had to go commercial or give up the top spot.
I think the thing is though in Large multi models you give it all the data and test it against everything. And it generally does better across most of the benchmarks.
It seems like most fundamental researches were published by Google, not openai. Transformers architecture is also designed by Google…

These are superficial observations, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Also, they bought ai.com recently if that makes you feel better :) maybe they will drop the “open” part of their name soon.
>The U.S. banking system lost $620 billion. Six hundred twenty billion dollars. That is a loss no less real than if money had been loaned out to borrowers who defaulted

Uh, no. That's just nonsense. If you lend money to a borrower who defaults, you immediately lose your principal and future interest, subject to whatever recovery rate you achieve. It's an actual, realized loss.

Banks have masses of unrealized losses on their long-dated Treasury holdings, but if you hold those bonds to maturity, you're going to get your principal and your interest.

It should be pretty clear those are Not The Same. The clue is in the word "realized", right?
Levine considered this yesterday as well. If you model bank shares as calls on underlying assets it clearly favors risktaking: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-03-14/svb-to...

You mean the country that has by far the highest immigrants : citizens ratio in whole Europe? Nationalism is rising on whole continent for quite some time, Swiss expect others to respect their rules and way of life. If that's a mountain too tall to climb for some then they struggle.

Swiss are type of general population that when given choice if to have 4 weeks of fully paid vacation or 6, they vote for 4 due to negative impact on employers. Given similar voting freedom to british population gave us brexit. I wouldn't compare them if I were you
It's not wrong. It's how modern systems operate. E.g. look at Google's SayCan (https://say-can.github.io/) which operates exactly like this (an LLM ordering a Robot around).
The 40% recovery rate isn't written down on the swaps actual terms?

Edit: I asked ChatGPT. "The recovery rate of a credit default swap (CDS) is typically specified in the contract and agreed upon by the parties involved. The recovery rate is the percentage of the notional value of the underlying debt that the protection buyer would receive in the event of a credit event, such as a default, of the reference entity.

To find the recovery rate of a specific CDS contract, you can refer to the contract documentation, which should include details on the recovery rate. This information may also be available from the CDS provider or through financial data providers such as Bloomberg, Reuters, or other financial news sources.

It's worth noting that the recovery rate can vary depending on the specific CDS contract, the reference entity, and the prevailing market conditions. Therefore, it's important to confirm the recovery rate specified in the contract and to keep track of any changes in the market or credit conditions that could affect the recovery rate."

The design of docker distribution is poor because the company backing it wants to retain control .

Torrent based distribution for open source projects and other public initiatives were there long before docker .

Apt mirroring has also been there for a long long time . Checksum integrity verification of mirrors have well established workflows .

We don’t need good graces of any company to distribute assets .
Why do we laugh when someone fall down? Here’s what the science says
Yeah but then you immediately own all their debt and liabilities. Which is why SVB UK was sold to HSBC for 1 pound because they were willing to take on all its debt.
We do similar. Works well.
you are assuming competition as the dominant mode a-priori. i'm suggesting it's not the case. and the congnitive re-framing of these interactions can have a net-positive effect on social relations.
Yeah, some malware doesn't even run if the computer's regional and language settings are set to Russian.
Most of these are kind of bad because they get organized around the aesthetics of a particular person or small clique.

Just like how science only progresses one funeral at a time, it is probably the same for software.

That said, I do like some general principles of some communities. My biases are based on my own aesthetics and values.

Arch Linux seems to have the philosophy of staying very close to upstream, and having all the tools be as simple and minimal as possible. This feels like the right approach for a distribution. To ensure everything makes it upstream, and have the packages all work together, and almost strive to make themselves irrelevant.

Their build scripts are very minimalist and clear, and they have done good work on reproducible builds. So the ideology is determinism, minimalism, and no-magic. This jives with my view that software is buggy and error-prone, that it adds attack surface and points of failure. So the goal should be to minimize all of that.

Guix, Nix, and Fedora SilverBlue seem to adopt this kind of strategy and take it even further.

I liked Lennart Poettering's vision for the future of operating systems http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/stateless.html
No, I am suggesting one race at the factory that gave the two vehicles the same private key. Therefore Person A can always access Person B's car and vice versa because they use identical keys.

>Seems strange to me that NY puts so much of its tax burden on renters and so little on owners.

Well spotted, this would indeed solve a lot of affordability issues.
Good question, I would say we're more focused on being a data pipeline engine as opposed to workflow orchestration. So you could use something like Airflow or Dagster to trigger your BuildFlow pipeline.
> Printed, signed, and mailed. I wonder what junkmail I'll get as a result of this donation.

I've been regularly donating to the EFF for years, and one of the things I love about them is that I've never received junk mail as a result (that I know of). They send out periodic newsletter-type email, but unsubscribing from them is easy and actually works.
The truth is slightly more murky: There's an element of engineering improvements that have brought us much closer to the physical limits between, say, my original Motorola Razr flip phone and the modern incarnation.

But yes, the manufacturers are now squeezing the last few percent out of the diffraction limit rather than leaving most of it on the table, so the year-by-year leaps and bounds in camera quality are mostly coming from AI enhancement not optics or sensors.
Just jumping in to point out that to make the profit from TARP, the government had to distort the economy in ways that won’t be fully understood for maybe 30 more years.
Yeah, you can't even see the man on the moon yet!

To be fair once I get my Bright Side of the Moon Lunar advertising corp set up distributing images on the moon, we'll be in a great position to sue Samsung for failing to reproduce my advertising with full fidelity.
Ha ing been down a similar path, this whole thing works so much better if you don't 'import arcpy'. Licencing issues aside, you've often got faster tools in shapely, fiona, geopandas, rasterio, xarray.
He's a well established libertarian. He wasn't calling for the govt to not intervene.
AGI can pass a rigorous Turing test. By rigorous I mean conducted over at least several hours by a panel of expert evaluators drawn from a wide range of academic disciplines such as computer science, philosophy, psychology, law, history, physics, mathematics, biology, medicine, sociology, and communications. While such evaluations are necessarily subjective, if a panel of experts agrees that a computer system acts like an AGI then it would be tough for the rest of us to dispute.

GPT4 is far from being able to pass such a test, and I don't expect GPT99 to get there either. A fundamentally different approach will be needed.
The fix is "designers" need to understand that there are people with visual disabilities and take steps to stop discriminating against them.
AGI clearly has a connotation of sentience and intent, of general intelligence - as opposed to a tool, however intricate. Read Nick Bostrom (yes I know, as a person he's cancelled, probably even rightly so, still scientifically relevant reference; and totally not a discussion I want to get into further here, pls)
that is actually entirely reasonable

> Samsung continues to improve Scene Optimizer to reduce any potential confusion that may occur between the act of taking a picture of the real moon and an image of the moon.

What is this even supposed to mean? Can somebody explain the difference between "a picture of the real moon" and "an image of the moon"? I would take them to mean the same thing, right?

Samsung certainly isn't reducing my confusion with that statement. I guess I'll just stick with my Motorola.
By removing audio jacks from everything Apple is not my friend. I had to buy special hardware to fix their spartan tablet to play MIDI music - how do you get audio out without lag when the input is required for connecting to the keyboard? Certainly not from the jack output.
ChatGPT could write quines in Go, at least. It could not write an nroff quine. Can GPT-4 write a quine for nroff, or that weird GPP macro processor, or even for the m4 macro processor?
Also worth pointing out that as per the WacUp Install instructions -

Alternatively WINE 7.x or newer (running winetricks dxvk & setting it to use Windows 7 compatibility is recommended to avoid visualisation related crashes) for those of us that have moved to *nix since the last time that the Llama's ass got whipped.
The problem is that system libraries DO solve a problem that docker recreates - the kernel can efficiently map in a virtual address range for shared libraries and then add the map to all of the tasks that are using the same library, and the disk space is minimal because you only have maybe a few copies of the same lib. For some pieces like glibc, that's huge savings system wide.

With container images you're bundling your app with exactly the libraries it needs at the exact versions you want. This means that the kernel is loading all of this auxiliary pieces for you, distinct copies, that then have to reside in their own mappings, so you get no saving there (it's actually slower in terms of program startup), and then you also are wasting tons of disk space to have all of these duplicate dependencies lying around.

Really, the idea of duplicating an entire os tree for containers is just a bad idea, and it leads to lots of super vulnerable images and destroys the whole concept of sharing a system base for performance and storage wins.

The linked article is a bit different

> The FTC’s complaint alleges that the company’s privacy policy deceptively failed to disclose that the app transmitted users’ precise location and unique device identifier to third parties, including advertising networks. In addition, the complaint alleges that the company deceived consumers by presenting them with an option to not share their information, even though it was shared automatically rendering the option meaningless.

> Upon first opening the app, they were shown the company’s End User License Agreement, which included information on data collection. At the bottom of the license agreement, consumers could click to “Accept” or “Refuse” the terms of the agreement. Even before a consumer had a chance to accept those terms, though, the application was already collecting and sending information to third parties – including location and the unique device identifier.

And just to be clear: the permission screen should make it really obvious that a site which can access the file system API can access files on your computer, which can be dangerous, and allow/encourage the user to only grant access to specific directories. If a site requests many permissions, they don't get to hide them within a big TOS, all requested permissions will be clearly shown. And the FileSystem API is already set up to transparently return a virtual file system (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileSystem), so sites won't know if the user doesn't grant access vs. gives them an empty folder.
It's an offline 3D rendering software that turns a scene description into a photorealistic image. Usually such a description is for a single frame of animation.

Offline being the opposite of realtime. I.e. a frame taking possibly hours to render whereas in a realtime renderer it must take fractions of a second.

Maybe think of it like a physical camera in a movie. And a very professional one for that. But then a camera doesn't get you very far if you consider the list of people you see when credits roll by. :]

Similarly, at the very least, you need something to feed the renderer a 3D scene, frame by frame. Usually this is a DCC app like Maya, Houdini etc. or something created in-house. That's where you do your animation. After you created the stuff you want to animate and the sets where that lives ... etc., etc.

Moonray has a Hydra USD delegate. That is an API to send such 3D scenes to a renderer. There is one for Blender too[1]. That would be one way to get data in there, I'd reckon.

Hope that makes sense.

That seems rather straightforward to prevent without infringing on the right to receive mail itself. Letters are already inspected, if the prison is worried about hidden messages in the paper substrate, they can give the prisoner a monochrome photocopy with any extra noise scrubbed out.

Windows does as well. But like Flatpak, I think they're handled at install time, not at-access time.
Problem with saying don’t break rules is the moderation task is after the fact and not part of the initial rules. The bot isn’t aware of what gets moderated.
>Something doesn't add up here. They're actively telling third parties to lease cloud servers with large amounts of free bandwidth:

Bare-metal servers are much better is our case. Please note, bandwidth is not free. You can follow the links and see the actual price for it. If LeaseWeb tells you: 1 Gbps dedicated/unlimited per $143/month, it means you can use it 24x7.

>- They are paying the third party less than what it costs to rent the server

we don't know prices in all datacenters all over the world. That's why the _Peer_ sets the price for his service.
I participated in the exoneration effort for a kid who was arrested at 15 and didn’t even go to trial at all until age 19. At the trial the judge denied him the right to call expert witnesses that led to a successful appeal, and then finally after 8 years of his prime youth lost to incarceration the charges were all dropped.
In Windows you can set the maximum CPU state which, if you set it low enough, means your machine will never spin up the fan very much. With a Dell laptop you can accomplish this by partially inserting the power plug such that the third connector that communicates the capability of the power supply doesn’t connect and your machine will be super-sluggish.

I'm calling bullshit on the unlinkability asserted in the Github reading here. Sure, you can make it so the API in question can't relink, but that doesn't mean you can't use extraneous unmentioned metadata to do it. Without proof that no other systems are siphoning off or tracking individual token state, this just looks like more "Lets use dubious cryptography to get pressure off our backs til a credible researcher we haven't hired/paid to be quiet blows the whistle".

The having to be logged in to Chrome bit is exactly what has me thinking something about that arrangement allows them to deanonymize, otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to measure the difference between real and fake. They'd also be more than happy to make an explicit business related contractual obligation of not sharing logs with them, because they don't need them, 1 and 2, to the uninitiated, it looks like they are trying to make an active attempt to anonymize things in spite of the fact they have enough extra OOB telemetry that they can continue with business as usual.

K-anonymity isn't anonymity at all, and is at best, less identifiable internal to the dataset.
Oh god you want to inflict the punishment of localization on to Shakespeare? Not that I care for his works that much but on principle I object.
Not sure what your definition of normie is, but that's been my experience across a fairly wide spectrum of US society.

When I went to public high school in rural America, pretty much everyone I knew owned some sort of headphone/speaker system, and they would be used at every party / larger gathering where audio was important.

It depends on the context though. Obviously if someone is just sharing something casual like a Youtube video on their phone, they're going to use the built-in speakers.

you just have to host the recipe and the hash/meta-data

c'mon. This is not amateur hour. Hosting the whole thing only made sense for docker because their plan was always to do this microsoft style play.

If you assume you are either open source or fully closed enterprises, the problem is very, very easy to solve. and cheap. Just relinquish full control of being able to close all the doors for a fee, like they are doing now.
Also your prettified self is in an exotic location doing cooler stuff than you really are.
To some degree, I like this, but the experience for both to allow access is still pretty draconian. I'm not quite sure what the process is for Snap to adjust this (it might require a rebuild?), but I know for Flatpak it's common for folks to say "Use Flatseal to adjust the permissions of what the app has access to" to resolve problems like this.

In an ideal world, the application would be Flatpak or Snapcraft aware (or there'd be a middleware to intercept these calls), and ask for access to parts of the system it needs.
