Aside from a few pronunciation issues this is very good. I can see a lot of fun possibilities with this. I envision a site that replaces a speaker with a random speaker and leaves it to the audience to guess who actually wrote the speech. That may be a fun way to remove preset biases from the audience.

e.g. take a speech written by a politically polarizing person and have a politically neutral person give the speech. I would be curious what the effects would be. Has this been tried yet? Maybe even use some language learning software to tone down wording in divisive or seemingly unstable people and see how much their audience could be expanded. Perhaps even add some inspirational music in the background and it becomes one of those motivational speeches that gets tens of millions of views on Youtube.
Amazing job.

I think it's well within the rights of the EU to legislate in which way the data of its citizens is processed. If your product or service is accessible to EU citizens, in the EU market, then you need to abide by the laws of the EU. It's no different for physical or virtual products.
That is not my argument at all.

My point is that these issues have a bigger impact on the safety of the bike rider than on the car driver.
It is mildly because it does multiple deliveries in one trip with I assume a routing and scheduling system which does it efficiently.

But the main benefit is it enables me to not own a car, if I couldn’t get things delivered I might buy a car and then use it for other things I don’t strictly have to but since I’m paying for one anyway.
> Flash had some security nightmares all the time too if I remember correctly but I dont think it ever screwed me over like Java did.

Those incessant RCEs were only due to the sloppy way the Adobe Flash player was written. There is nothing bad security-wise inherent to the SWF format itself.

Ruffle is an open source Flash player in Rust, currently under active development. I'm sure it won't have such problems because 1) it's open-source and 2) it's in Rust, and I was told that anything written in Rust can't possibly have any memory-related vulnerabilities; we'll wait and see if this would still hold true if/when they implement JIT compilation for AS3.
I think not. They may have both died from the same cause, but I don't think one caused the other.

If you would like to understand the arguments they're out there. Arms Control Wonk blog and podcast.

My personal view is that we should build them to shield from states like the DPRK, but the contrasting view is that it destabilizes Mutually Assured Destruction. We don't know how many of their missiles we'll be able to intercept in the event of a mass strike, so it could make our leaders overly confident to take actions that would escalate. That's the critique, and I think it has some merit, but I also think that there are people that I admire, like Jeffery Lewis, that hold that view or something similar to it.

For whatever it is worth, I've personally worked on arms control and in intelligence, so this opinion is not coming out of the blue.

They’d be heavily disincentived to hire unsustainably. Every business has to hire to some degree. The issue is when businesses hire masses of people the don’t need in hopes of it somehow translating to growth, only to pull the rug out from said employees when it doesn’t. Especially in the US, where healthcare is tied to employment, and at a time where upper management is adamantly insisting that in person work is necessary, meaning employees must physically uproot their lives to be in proximity to their job, there needs to be more assurances for employees, and not just leaving them to the whims of whoever happens to be in charge that quarter as they throw spaghetti at the wall and hopes something sticks that will please investors.

> From what I understand, when someone takes out a loan, a bank doesn't lend out depositors' money. Instead money is "created" by the bank

Nah it’s simpler.

You put a dollar in the bank. The bank loans 80 cents to Bob. Bob puts 50 cents of that 80 cents in the bank. The bank loans out some of that.

Even without going beyond Bob, the same dollar is now in the bank twice. That’s what people mean by money being created.
Can't replace it. But with some trivial API glue and a cron job, you can get away with storing next to nothing in the bank account on most days as long as all of your credits and debits are scheduled and upper-bounded. E.g., if the debit side of your entire financial life is payroll + rent + credit card bills.

But this shifts risk from your FDIC insurance to your SIPC insurance.

Technical defenses are never perfect. In a sense they provide security through obscurity, as evinced by the comments above regarding Stallman's use of wget. If everyone applied technical defenses equally then workarounds would quickly be found, and everyone would be equally vulnerable. So privacy is a scale, and being in the minority provides its own defense. If in aggregate each individual is equally valuable, then the value of breaching a minority's technical defenses is some inverse multiplier of the minority's size. Personally my threat model is to put in just enough work to never be the juiciest target.
Another possibility is that the US simply isn't building as much these days, and heavy construction might have lost economies of scale. The Baumol Effect is another possible contributor. Renewable construction is not of the same kind, especially PV.

Specific construction expertise for nuclear very likely has degraded (the US can no longer forge the large reactor vessels for PWRs, for example.)

Nuclear is going to be further negatively affected if there's a transition away from fossil fuels, since the industrial infrastructure for making steam turbines will no longer have as much support. Bespoke turbines from smaller makers will be more expensive.

I guess it’s where the money is and how it’s controlled. Here in Canada, we have a tax free and tax deferred mechanism and both are owned by the individual. Pension, as far as I can tell, is used as in the us - it’s a defined benefit mechanism. Having worked in tech, such things are unfamiliar to me. There are also work based, and residence based government pensions/benefits separate from whatever comes from some aspect of government or corporate employment.
(Hi, thanks for reading, I'm the author).

In this case, the article uses the term pension to include "defined contributions", like in https://www.moneyhelper.org.uk/en/pensions-and-retirement/pe....

The pay out is nothing to sneeze at - I have some perpetual bonds that pay a coupon of 6.5%. In some rare cases they are slightly riskier than stocks (remember, Credit Suisse shareholders still lost 90%), but unless a major crisis occurs they are still safer than bonds. A 6-7% interest unless a major crisis occurs seems like a decent deal for a small part of my portfolio.

What does this have to do with WFH? The point is that teams are tasked with meaningless projects, which they deliver on, but because the project was meaningless, they get axed for not producing value. They were doomed from the start, due to the strategic initiatives management mistakenly decided they should work on. This is occurs for both WFH and in person work.
> What does OpenAI do?
OpenAI is a company founded by Elon Musk and Reid Hoffman in 2015 to develop artificial intelligence products for the general public. They are most well known for releasing a large language model, GPT-3, in 2017, which was developed using a method called deep learning.

OpenAI focuses on creating tools and technologies that allow developers to create AI applications that are accessible to the general public. They are particularly interested in developing tools that can help developers build AI applications that can perform tasks that are important to society, such as in the areas of healthcare, education, and safety.

In addition to GPT-3, OpenAI has also released other AI tools and technologies, including an open-source platform for training AI models, called OpenAI Research, and a library of pre-trained AI models for use in various applications.

Overall, OpenAI’s goal is to make AI technology more accessible and useful to the general public, and they are dedicated to creating products that can help create a more sustainable and inclusive future for society.

> How are they funded?

OpenAI is a not-for-profit organization, so it does not rely on any financial support from individuals, corporations, or governments. Instead, it is funded through a variety of sources, including venture capital firms, research institutions, and individual donations.

Some of the largest financial supporters of OpenAI include Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, who have invested millions of dollars into the organization. Additionally, OpenAI has received financial support from a number of other prominent technology companies and research institutions.

Overall, the funding sources for OpenAI reflect the organization’s goal of creating innovative AI tools and technologies that can have a positive impact on society.

> Who are OpenAI’s competitors?

There are many AI competitors to OpenAI, including companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Apple. These companies are all investing heavily in developing their own AI products and technologies, and they all have their own goals and objectives in the field.

Some of OpenAI’s competitors are specifically focused on creating AI tools and technologies for the general public, while others are focused on creating AI solutions for specific industries or businesses. For example, Microsoft is known for its popular Microsoft Office products, while Amazon is known for its e-commerce platform.

It’s worth noting that the development of AI technology is a rapidly evolving field, and there will likely be many new competitors and advancements in the years to come.

Seems pretty decent to me, sure it's not on the level of ChatGPT but it's also 1/14th the size of the original GPT-3.
I see no need to continue this discussion since you apparently feel your simple library built without understanding about actual real-life need, is better than the various battle tested ones out there.

I'd suggest you focus less on hubris and more and understanding.

Goodbye.
I don't think that is a lame solution, it would work pretty well if OpenAI had better key management, especially spending limits per key.

asm.js is something of a spiritual predecessor to WASM.

The neat thing about it is that it's both syntactically and semantically valid JavaScript, but also compiles to native code much more directly than JavaScript generally does.

WASM is essentially a successor to asm.js that is not valid JavaScript anymore – browsers do need to provide a different runtime for it.

I believe some early WASM runtimes did reuse parts of their JS stack for JIT compilation, but I believe this is no longer the case, since WASM can efficiently be AOT compiled (unlike JS, which does need the JIT to be efficient due to its much more liberal type system, among other things).

Sure, but on the other hand, a lot of anti-fingerprinting efforts strive to reduce the info available including things like mouse movement data.

Mouse movement data is a fairly potent fingerprinting vector. Bucketing the average spouse speed and acceleration rates could provide provide useful information. This may imply specific OS speed settings, or physical mouse DPI. A machine learning system would likely be able to distinguish traditional mouse, vs trackpoint, vs touchpad, vs trackball. Etc.

Also it is not just bots that have non-human like mouse movement. Many assistive technologies would have no mouse movement, or would auto snap the mouse to relevant spot. That is actually a quite powerful for fingerprinting, since assistive technology users are a pretty small subset of internet users, so only a relatively small amount of additional data is needed to uniquely fingerprint that user/machine.

Defer Blocks and Async Drop
Using leaked credentials to access a system that would not otherwise be accessible is absolutely an exploit.

Similarly, convincing a security guard to let you in to an area of a building that you aren’t allowed into is also an exploit.
Not the API itself, but the LLM behind it was a codex model. They are essentially saying Codex era models are obsolete so that means an upgrade announcement is probably only a few weeks off.
We use web fingerprinting and adjacent methods to crack down on ID sharing for our SaaS that charges (per person). I make no apologies for this practice.

It only detects if there is a block in the browser that does not serve as website rendering. Since I use Tree Tab on side panel of Firefox, this plugin will believe I have opened devtools all the time.

Almost no one visits that site so their data set is very small
Agree. The most useful moat you build as an AI-as-a-service company is detailed data on how good each of your past outputs were. E.g. Github presumably keeps track of which copilot completions end up being used and which don't. If you are just using the OpenAI API, you have basically no way of making use of that data for finetuning. You could use the data in order to finetune your own model in the future though, maybe that's the plan.
This won't happen for the same reason people most don't just burn their house/business down for the insurance payout. People lose insurance all the time this way even if they're just unlucky.

Almost everything in software development is in a constant state of change. The languages, the libraries, the frameworks, the development tools, the protocols used to transmit data, the platforms you host on. Even though we’re doing the same thing over and over again, it’s not really quite the same. Even something done so often as auth has so many requirement nuances to make each environment unique.

This would be like trying to build a skyscraper but having to keep up on a dozen changes to the raw materials every year. Each time something materially changes you rebuild the entire thing with that change.

All you can reasonably measure is how well the process is going, which is why you have efforts like DORA and SPACE. They effectively try to measure the state of flow that developers need to be most productive.

I think they have confuse pro-government with pro-business.

The Supreme court since FDR has been very resistant to role back the role of federal government, they have no problems smacking down state laws, but when it comes to rolling back federal laws or regulations well....

So here it would be determinative on which "side" the federal government chooses, or if the federal government stays silent which silence IMO is probably the most likely outcome for the federal government.

If they stay out of the fight, I think Deere Loses. If the federal government defends Deere then I think it is more 50/50
