"2.9 Potential for Risky Emergent Behaviors" is an exciting read, reminds me of Person of Interest.
Where does one draw the line between "improving" an image and materially changing an image?

If this was not a moon-enhancer, but just a sharpener – which we have used on images for decades – would there be any fuss? Probably not. If this was an AI model trained to do better sharpening than the algorithms we've used historically, would there be any fuss? Maybe, but probably less than with this.

Short of literally superimposing fixed images of the moon on top of people's photos, which this is not doing, isn't this just a natural progression of the same sorts of image enhancements we've been doing previously?

Perhaps the issue is in the ML optimisation function? An image sharpener is optimising for a supposedly generic change, whereas this model is optimising for a particular subject that carries semantic meaning for humans. Similarly, an enhancer that improves contrast and sharpening on human faces might be fine, but a model that uses your other photos of your friends and family to improve their faces in new photos may not be, because it has the potential to change meaning if it gets it wrong?
> model for the truth?

Without sensing/experiencing the world, there is no truth.

The only truth we can ever truly know, is the present moment.

Even our memories of things that we “know” that happened, we perceive them in the now.

Language doesn’t have a truth. You can make up anything you want with language.

So the only “truth” you could teach an LLM, is your own description of it. But these LLMs are trained on thousands or even million different versions of “truth”. Which is the correct one?

Lots of American bread is full of added sugar, but if you look around in the bread aisle you can almost always find a loaf without sugar in its ingredients list. Sourdough is one of my favorites because it rarely has added sugar, and can still be found like that in some of the cheaper varieties.
Is there any comparisons to GPU-accelerated rendering? It seems most people are going that direction rather than trying to optimize for CPUs these days, especially via AVX instructions.
I don’t like how sometimes in streaming services clicking on a movie shows the details, while in other places it starts the movie. Now it’s on my keep watching list which gets awkward on family accounts.

But at least they don’t auto play movies that you have to pay for. Which it sounds like is what’s happening here.
Not necessarily. The delivery apps set up proxy numbers to pass calls through, taking a lead fee. So you can't just search "sub shop near me" and call, as it might not be their actual phone number. Your best bet if you want to save the local place fees from the apps is walk in the first time, then call the number off the paper menu from then on.

Is it really a choice when 75% of all food found in the supermarket has been spiked with sugar and 88% of the US population is suffering from metabolic issues? And sugar has been linked to a host of degenerative neurological conditions.

I ask it silly things like "is it defence or defense" all the time, multiple times a day! Love my `ai` cli script, haha. Only thing missing is speech recognition and tts output for the basic knowledge queries.

Also looking into writing a prompt that turns "timer one hour 30" into set_timer(5400) and other functions but not got the bandwidth just yet.

I imagine I'll ask GPT for an intent-in-json-format and go from there, I'll need to do the programming for things like timers and todos. I just need it to convert natural language into function names and parameters really.

I now only use Siri to set a timer when I put a load of washing in and it manages to get that wrong sometimes.. always appreciate my one hour thirty timer being interpreted as "set an alarm named Timer for 01:30am" and making me jump when I'm trying to sleep haha, daft robot. It wouldn't take much to do better.

> 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.

That bit is a step in the right direction, but I would've preferred the overall tone and message to be one of humility. For example, that they're committing to "honest images" by default, and making some of this more questionable image enhancement to be optional modes/tools that can be enabled consciously.

Samsung used to be a low-end brand for computer peripherals. I love the quality and technical innovation of some of their more recent products. I want to see them be one of the most respected and trustworthy brands. Embracing honesty and integrity during this surge of AI methods being shoved into products seems important to that goal.
_The Shaft_, a Georgia Tech periodical (similar to _The Onion_ in spirit), interviewed a local associate professor: "How can I be expected to teach math if my students don't speak basic Mandarin?"
I think these are fonts that are generally available on common OSes, so no webfonts needed, in order of preference/specificity. You often (for me, an amateur, anyway) don't know which list of fonts and fallbacks ("stack") to specify if you want a "industrial" font for example. This site has done that research for you.
I like the remote code editing feature. I would love a solution that lets me write code on my iPad, including running the code locally. If I could run a server at home and connect to it it would be great. Is there anything like that?
IMO, it has been underhyped. We're seeing things with LLMs that a decade ago I'd say was multiple decades out, if not more.

We're just years into generative approaches. And I think we'll more combinations of methods used in the future.

The goal of AI has never been to build an all knowing perfect system. It has also never been to replicate the way the human brain works. But its been to build an artificial system that can learn -- and AGI specifically to be able to give the appearance of human learning.

I feel like we've turned this corner where the question now is, "Can we build something that knows everything that has been documented and can also synthesize and infer all of that data at a level of a very smart human". The fact that this has become the new bar is IMO one of the biggest tech changes in history. Not the biggest, but up there.
SLS is not obsolete until Starship flies. That's probably coming soon, but it hasn't happened yet. If the delays hadn't happened it would have been around a few years before Starship and gotten some good use.
I'm not sure how the likes of ChatGPT could accomplish that even in theory, but I won't say it's not possible at some point in the future. Gpt itself, perhaps, someday.
Funnily enough OpenAI also believes the same.
This is just wrong.

Also, even if a LLM could do that, so could a shell script, without the risks involved in using "AI" for it, or for now the ridiculous external dependence that would involve.

I wonder if in 10 years people will be stuck debugging Rube-Goldberg machines composed of LLM api calls doing stuff that if-statements can do, probably cobbled together with actual if-statements
> is there any reason a "simple" .app bundle like has been used on NeXTStep/macOS for decades wouldn't work on Linux?

Conceptually no, and both GNUStep and RoxFiler/RoxOS did just that.

The practical reality though was that Linux Desktop has never had a conception of which pieces are 'add-on' and which are 'base-system', and to the extent there was any collection of components that could be part of the latter they were frequently making breaking changes. Combined with no coherent standard for properly versioning libraries and every fiefdom package repo doing its own thing, and what you're left with is decidedly not a platform.

The modern version of Rox AppDirs is AppImage, and it mostly kinda works on most distros. This is sad, but there's just no way out of it as long as the Linux Desktop community continues to reject the very concept of being a platform.

Steam initially tried to solve this for games by just dragging along its own Runtime for developers to target, but there were still issues. They've since regrouped and basically just declared Win32 the one true stable runtime ABI for games on Linux.

FlatPak just decided that yet-another-package-manager was the way to go and manages a collection of explicitly defined runtimes instead. It works well enough for most use cases.
Super Resolution is only part of the process. It says they then apply "Scene Optimizer’s deep-learning-based AI detail enhancement engine".

If the model and its weights contain detail not in the photo being taken, then it's tantamount to having high res images of the moon stored on camera and composited into the image. And if it doesn't then it's not the moon being displayed.

Not that it's necessarily bad, but it could be if it fools someone into thinking they're buying superior electro/optics. Enough such that it warranted the line "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".

If you purchased something in-game with "v-bucks" then you can get your v-bucks back if you still haven't actually used the item in a game yet, or if it was purchased in the last 30 days (up to 3 times). They don't usually refund actual money, as far as I can tell.

You could write a quiz answer bot that is well ahead of the general population without any AI, just by summarizing the first page of Google results for that question. We test humans on these subjects because the information is relevant, not because they are expected to remember and reproduce them better than an electronic database.

If the test is designed to quantify intelligence and is not present in the corpus, ChatGPT does about as good as a dog, and there is little reason to think LLMs will improve drastically here.
Makes sense. I'd sell my soul for much less, as would most of you. If they didn't sell their soul, that would be more of a surprise.
The implication I got from that comment is that they would claim to be underage after receiving the photos.

Over the weekend, before an FDIC settlement was announced, uninsured SVB deposits were reportedly trading between $0.75 and $0.90 among private sellers.

In other words, both USDC and uninsured SVB deposits had the same market response over the weekend. But every USDC holder had unfettered access, whereas only large SVB depositors were able to access the informal market of private sellers.

I want you to remember this interaction because by the end of the decade, there will be over $1 trillion of USD stablecoins in circulation (in today's dollars), and at least one of the five largest banks in America will run a major stablecoin product of some kind, such as their own stablecoin, redemptions for an existing coin, or consumer on/off-ramps to the crypto financial system.
Isn’t most of the mathematics of AI old, as in really old?

Regression, both linear and logistic are from the mid 1800s to early 1900s. Neural networks, at least the basics are from around 1950.

What has really changed is the engineering, the data volume and the number of fields we can apply the mathematics to. The math itself (or what is the basis of AI) is really old.

Well there is one aspect where pre-diabetes differs from being fully diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and that's the fact that you're not at the point of no return. Pre-diabetics, if they make appropriate lifestyle changes, still have a chance at reversing course and not living with diabetes for the rest of their life.
There are still things Flatseal cannot make work though. For instance, the Wireshark FlatPak is incapable of actually capturing packets.
>... Samsung licenses from ArcSoft ...

Interesting, though there seems to be no reference to this kind of function in Arcsoft site:

https://www.arcsoft.com/product/single-camera-solutions-on-s...

https://www.arcsoft.com/product/dual-camera-solutions-on-sma...

What they mention seems more "logical" enhancements, though the selfie feature of gender and age detection :

https://www.arcsoft.com/product/single-camera-solutions-on-s...

is somehow creepy.

Anyway, if they can recognize gender and age and what do you have in your refrigerator ("This offers users a smoother and smarter refrigerator experience.") :

https://www.arcsoft.com/product/smart-refrigerator-solutions...

surely they can recognize the moon.

Now that they made me think about it, my refrigerator experience, while usually smooth enough, is pretty dumb and repetitive.
Unannounced Zen 4-Based Phoenix Mobile CPU Hits Nearly 5GHz
I like the tag, because I wouldn't read the story otherwise. Any time someone ports something to rust the story is usually interesting. Sometimes good interesting, sometimes bad interesting. I don't enjoy reading about ports to Go. It is almost always uneventful. Some more performance perhaps, didn't take long. Wasn't too hard. Stubbed my toe on the error checking etc. With rust, even if the port itself was easy, and the performance gains were minimal, there is usually some bit about a weird error rust found in the old code base, or how the borrow checker ate their baby and everyone panicked, but then everything was fine.

It isn't rust specific, I'd similarly like to know if someone rewrote something in haskell or austral, or lisp. Not because of the languages, but because they make good stories.
> They should be required to refund every purchase on an account that they close.

I could not agree more.
> and also too annoying to deal with if I want to keep multiple projects' repos open at the same time.

This was a big annoyance for me when I tried vscode. Maybe it's atypical, but I'm typically accessing 3-5 different repos every day. Having to open a window instead of just quickly doing a cd and opening vim gets old fast.
Or probably they wouldn’t have survived given how much resource they need to operate.

If they were not called OpenAI probably such blog posts would be written.

I'm so angry about Atom, I haven't been able to move on. I'm using Pulsar out of spite. I'd like to move to emacs (for all its faults, it will never do what Atom did) but I can't be arsed to learn to configure it so it works exactly the way I want it to. I don't have the energy to learn an entirely new tool, I don't know what to do.
They have just become another Silicon Valley VC scam, when they bait and switched to a for-profit and pretends to care about 'AI safety' whilst simultaneously creating excuses to close the AI model with competition fear-mongering without building in detectors or watermarks.

Thanks to Microsoft, they are no better than DeepMind. 'AI ethics' at Microsoft was recently eliminated, telling you their real intentions with AI. Henceforth:

>> What are OpenAI's real intentions now? Are they tied to Microsoft's interests so much that they’ve forgotten their original purpose for “the betterment of humanity?”

Not just forgotten, but an abandonment and a classic motte-and-bailey retreat for 'Open' AI's original mission. At this point, they need to be disrupted with 'Open AI' alternatives that are open-source and surpasses OpenAI's offerings, rendering them obsolete.
> How are you holding those bonds?

Can't bonds like these just be hold in custody at the bank, like stocks? They're property title no? Should my bank in the EU go bust, AFAIK, my stocks are mine. Isn't that the case for short-term US treasuries?

As for physical certificates, didn't the entire world move to digital certificates about 20 years ago? I remember my family having those old physical certificates where you'd cut some pieces of the paper out of them and then you'd go at the bank to get your dividends. And there wasn't much security: you stole these and they were literally yours, with nobody who could verify who they belonged to. These physical "bearer" certificates have been the plot of a great many movies but I think it's now (mostly?) a thing of the past?
I tested it, the suggestions were fine but not so helpful to be worth the property theft risk, so I uninstalled it.

You are not alone.
That’s a rather pedantic interpretation. Yes the Fed doesn’t run the printing press, and it doesn’t set M1, but it controls the levers.

That’s like saying to the police officer: “I didn’t speed, I merely pressed on this pedal that’s connected to a rod that opened a valve providing more fuel to the engine that’s connected to the wheels”.
Looks interesting, especially around their "multiplayer" editing. I wish them success, we need more serious competition in this space. VSCode is so damn good I probably won't switch, but if this came to parity with some features in VSCode (especially the plugins I use) I could see myself making the jump.
“However, not long after, they decided to share the model after finding “no strong evidence of misuse.”

What about mal-use?
No, that sounds if not outright correct, at the very least in the ballpark of close enough.

And I'm not totally up on the transaction fees, but they're typically in the low single digit percentages. And you only get hit once. So even on the higher side, you're looking at making up 3%. Which is way more likely than making up 30% in the same timeframe.
It's about 10 times larger than the meteor that fell over Russia a few years back (the Chelyabinsk meteor [1]), so not too big in the grand scheme of things. It would not really have any major effects unless it hit near a populated area, which is very unlikely. If it did impact the Earth it would probably hit the Pacific ocean.

The reason this is not true is because the best stablecoins, like American-run USDC, have excellent transparency and are backed 1:1 in cash and short-duration treasuries, with no fractional reserve system.

That's after they had already made billions with Ruby and, BTW, Patrick Collison is still passionate about Ruby and has no plans to drop it even at Stripe's scale. No-one says Ruby will cater for all scaling scenarios but it can take you a long way with the advantage of moving quickly and developer happiness. Twitter started with Ruby and nothing stopped them form switching to Scala when the time was right. What is more common than ditching Ruby is splitting-off services to be written in a faster language. Best of both worlds. Your designation of Ruby as an inferior language begs the question inferior to what and inferior by what metric?
