Programming. Back before the internet, we used things called 'reference books'. If you had a problem, you couldn't look it up on 'Stack Overflow' to cut'n'paste the solution, so you worked on that problem alongside the reference book until you learned how to fix the problem. Yes, it was slower than a cut'n'paste, but we learned a lot faster.
China bans platforms because they give access to information that embarrasses those in power. The US, here, is planning to ban a platform because it's a propaganda vector, and because its popularity has gotten to a point where we - as a society - at a serious risk of propaganda campaigns. All the information on TikTok is still available elsewhere - but we mitigate the opportunity for the Chinese Communist Party to mold what information is serviced to our constituents, and how that information is shaped.

I just don't think those two are the same.
As far as I understand, it's more geared towards embedded systems, game ui, and gui icons. Places where a full SVG renderer is absolutely overkill. I think they see the tooling being used to create SVGs as usual, but then converting those SVGs to the much more stripped down format of tvg.
Their website makes it look like they're changing their branding to "Spectrum Culinary", probably for that reason.
> bad news for the growth based human world

if thats true, why would an investor even contemplate investing into anything?

can capitalism even function without population growth?
Yeah when it falls from 10 kids per couple to 2-3. But not when it falls below 1, which is what happened in South Korea:

"Kim, a product designer and art instructor, calls her hopes of one day having children "just a fantasy" — especially now, when housing costs are soaring, the job market is oversaturated and marriage rates are plummeting."

Doesn't sound like wealth and abundance to me.

Just like a real beachball! Classic Apple.
Wow, Stanford's Alpaca AI project is a real game-changer. The fact that it performs on par with ChatGPT but costs less than $600 to build is both exciting and terrifying. Sure, it's great to see AI becoming more accessible, but it's also a massive wakeup call for the potential misuse of these technologies.

We've got big names like OpenAI, Google, Apple, Meta, Baidu, and Amazon putting in serious time and money to ensure their language models are safe and ethical. However, now that we know it's possible to build powerful AI models on a budget, it's crucial to think about what this means for the future of AI regulation and safety.

This Alpaca AI project is a stark reminder that we need to have a serious conversation about the possible repercussions of AI proliferation. We can't just sit back and assume the big companies will take care of everything. The genie is out of the bottle, and it's time for everyone in the tech community to face the music and take responsibility for the AI revolution.
That’s a huge fuckup. If you’re going to be an evil corporation destroying evidence then why are you even using electronic communication in the first place.

I don’t see how they can possibly win if they’re that openly destroying records.
Dynamic Transformer-layers allocation per step is intuitively and computationally appealing. Can't believe this idea has been under-explored for years.
It was a joke to illustrate a piece of what's happening.
Matt Levine [1]:

> This — a “7% trigger permanent write-down AT1” — is not the only way for an AT1 to work, though it is the way that Credit Suisse’s AT1s worked. Some AT1s have different triggers. Some AT1s convert into common stock when the trigger is hit, instead of being written down to zero; others are temporarily written down (they stop paying interest) when the trigger is hit, but can bounce back if the equity recovers. (Here is a 2013 primer on CoCos from the Bank for International Settlements.)

> These securities are, basically, a trick. To investors, they seem like bonds: They pay interest, get paid back in five years, feel pretty safe. To regulators, they seem like equity: If the bank runs into trouble, it can raise capital by zeroing the AT1s. If investors think they are bonds and regulators think they are equity, somebody is wrong. The investors are wrong.

> In particular, investors seem to think that AT1s are senior to equity, and that the common stock needs to go to zero before the AT1s suffer any losses. But this is not quite right. You can tell because the whole point of the AT1s is that they go to zero if the common equity tier 1 capital ratio falls below 7%.

> ...

> That's the trick! The trick of the AT1s — the reason that banks and regulators like them — is that they are equity, and they say they are equity, and they are totally clear and transparent about how they work, but investors assume that they are bonds. You go to investors and say “would you like to buy a bond that goes to zero before the common stock does” and the investors say “sure I’d love to buy a bond, that could never go to zero before the common stock does,” and the bank benefits from the misunderstanding.

Yes, please do google what fizzbuzz is. You'll eventually stumble upon resources on how to memorize fizzbuzz, which is such a Hallmark of the test that it's even explicitly mentioned in the C2 wiki on fizzbuzz.
New Orleans is trying this and facing a lot of pushback.
Interesting.

I genuinely couldn't give af about points on these kind of websites, but I've noticed the count on this comment vary up and down.

What kind of @sshole would disagree with the sentiment?

I do worry about those who walk among us.
I mean, yes? I'd personally rather see money spent on housing and feeding and educating people than building new seawalls. Particularly in places like Bangladesh, which are both poor and low-lying.

The collective delusion of the climate conversation is that first-world countries are going to be the ones who suffer, but that isn't what the risk looks like at all. For example, New York City will be OK, even though mass media loves to show apocalyptic visions of the climate future set in lower Manhattan.
GFWL games are really an exception -- most games on Windows or Proton work fine years down the road.
If copilot interrupts what typescript was going to complete, hit ctrl-space to trigger the typescript code completion.
If you are able, could you explain this in more detail? I find the description unparseable.

Reading the words I do understand, the raw socket aspect seems to be irrelevant right? The vulnerable code would be the the parser that incorrectly runs code based on invalid input? It might require raw socket to trigger the vulnerability, but perhaps it would not exist if it was not written in kernel C but rather in user space garbage collected code with a good type system (not sure what the vulnerability actually is).
I wonder who's the likely vendor of this $$$ panel: BOE, Samsung, Sharp, or LG
Makes sense. But since you don't know what's in the search radius, you might still get surprised.

AIUI, the hack is to enroll immediately but not pay. If you don’t need it, you can (usually) get the COBRA provider to leave nonpayment off your credit report with a simple “You never sent me a bill”. If you do need it, well, you’re really going to need it because you’re going to have to pay the premiums plus whatever your co-insurance is.
Commenting so that I can remember it in the future.

1) more excessive hiring during 2020-2021-early 2022 in tech than in most sectors
2) some sectors such as domestic manufacturing are ramping up capacity, thus need more people than they expected to, whereas tech companies that thought pandemic-induced changes would stick need fewer people than they expected to
3) lots of excess liquidity went to investors who liked to invest in tech, hoping to get the next FB/Apple/etc., thus it is more of a change for them when that stops happening
4) let's face it more bogus business ideas in the last 10 years were tech than anything else; when interest rates go up is when they face a reality check

Aereo, and the thing that killed their case was that the Supreme Court already agreed with their logic in the 1970s and Congress created a brand new regime of retransmission rights specifically to say "no, cable TV REALLY needs to pay for things that are free". Even if they won, Congress would overturn the case.

You might also be thinking of Locast, which tried to take advantage of a very specific loophole Congress put in that same law that killed Aereo. Basically they didn't want to criminalize existing community antenna systems, so they said that ones that were operated as non-profits could still operate. They could recoup costs but that's it. This regime is so very specific that the judge was able to cut Locast out of it by merely pointing out that they used money recouped for costs to expand their operations.
That is miles off from "We're all doomed in five years". Still entirely possible though seems improbable that the last 5 years has baked in enough change to doom "humanity". Can't really tell until the system has reached equilibrium, so you really have to wait several decades to properly be able to evaluate the claim.

You don't die from jumping off a building you die from hitting the ground.
Sounds like Aereo -- I saw them referenced in this Ars article from the Wikipedia page on Zediva's court case: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/why-johnny-cant-...
I have this feeling that part of the high case of bike fatalities is a lack of education or really good intentions of a lot of bike riders I see. I take my lane and follow the laws of traffic on a bike. It results in pretty safe passage even if there isn't bike infrastructure, since cars now have to change lanes if they want to find room to get around me, and I am generally more visible to turning traffic and am outside as many blindspots as possible. They still honk and yell "fuck you" either way, but now they give me room instead of ramming me into the gutter or into a door, and they actually see me.

On the other hand, no one is taught how to safely ride a bike after they figure out how to pedal one the first dozen feet, unlike cars where you have to pass exams or have classes. I hardly see anyone taking a lane when biking. I hardly see anyone with lights. I hardly see any signalling. I see a lot of people riding against the flow of traffic even. I see people riding without helmets. I even see people who are clearly intoxicated on something or another swerving over a 5 lane road. If these people sorts of bikers I see anecdotally are any way representative to your average bike rider, then I'm surprised the number is only 3x higher.

It's a horrible term that was used for years to denigrate disabled people and that it is used now in cloistered and privileged academic settings is no excuse for an ignorant dismissal like that of the hurt, bigotry and exclusion it conveys.

Electric motorbikes? A considerable amount of riders I have seen have hot-wired throttles, overriding the road legal pedal-assist.
The fact that lots of people are predicting absolute doom is kind of a contrarian indicator to me. If everyone was like meh no big deal it’d be more worrisome.

This isn’t just cynicism. It’s based on how markets work. If lots of people think there’s a possibility of major doom then (1) they are preparing now and (2) it’s likely at least somewhat priced into the market already.
Average stress levels went through the roof during the pandemic. Anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and other mental health problems that skyrocketed after 2020 could easily explain significant concentration and memory problems. Less confounding variables for physical problems, although things like average weight/BMI went way up so physical health factors aren't trivial to detangle either.
I think that people have been using the book value as of 31 Dec 2022. Probably lower now. The equity was trading around 9 billion on Friday, but traders could have been pricing in the assumption that the AT1s were getting written down even if it hadn't been officially decided.
There as another site - I can't recall which - when you open developer tools it had a recruiting ad there and asked you to apply.
A year of public transit in my city costs $1200, which is commensurate with the most I've spent on a commuter bike. I've had 7 bikes stolen in a quarter century of commuting, and I feel like I'm getting a pretty great deal when it comes to transport costs.
Are you basing this on something or just personal opinion?

They literally just ported the whole platform to ARM which has had some great benefits for the whole OS + UX of using laptops.
That's true, but most fatal car crashes happen for people who are very drunk https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/... reports that in the US, of the 2019 crashes of drivers who had a BAC above .01, 68% had BACs of .15 or higher (and about half were .20 or higher). That's a group that would have a pretty hard time riding a bike at high enough speed to do much damage. None of this is to say that biking while drunk is a good idea. It probably at least triples your likelyhood of being hit and killed by a car. Defensive riding is one of the things I would expect to be significantly impaired by relatively little alcohol, and it's probably dark out which makes everything riskier.
Bravo, very creative!
Yeah I understand the difference between the two which is why I mentioned them. Moving back to the non-malicious meaning seems like a moot point. The layperson doesn't care about the difference only the outcome. Which in most cases is they don't know you or have a business relationship with you and you are now accessing their system. If I was working within the pentester / security researcher space I would not be doing any work outside the bounds of an explicit contract/bug bounty program, etc as any access gained would be illegal access regardless of your "supposed" intentions.

In my original comment I was looking for the OP to expand upon:

"I have never in my life heard that hack comes with malicious intent"

as that seemed odd given the books, movies and legal cases.
I’ve had success by maintaining a /now page with a roadmap for my upcoming year.

Whenever I find a new obsession or idea, I force myself to place it somewhere in my upcoming queue. I often find that the action of comparing shiny new things against my long-term ambitions makes me lose interest before I start!

I get a lot of satisfaction from moving items from “current” to “recent”. Plus, it keeps me realistic on what I actually can complete on a monthly basis.

Portion of a discussion I had on this topic with GPT-4:

> Your idea of having all miners work on the same section of the model and compete to find better weights with a lower loss function value is an interesting approach. This would essentially treat the LLM training process like a proof-of-work mining competition. It is true that this approach involves some degree of duplicate work, but the simultaneous, randomized exploration of the weight space could still leverage the distributed computing power of the network.

> Here's a high-level overview of how this approach could work:

> Miners receive a specific section of the LLM's weights and a subset of training data. The training data could be determined based on information from the previous block (e.g., by hashing the previous block).

> Each miner initializes their local copy of the weight section with random perturbations to introduce diversity in the optimization process.

> Miners perform optimization steps (e.g., gradient descent) on their local weight section to minimize the loss function on the given training data.

> Miners search for a solution that satisfies both the proof of training (improvement in the loss function) and the proof of work (hash of the block meeting the difficulty target).

> The first miner to find a solution meeting both criteria broadcasts their updated weight section and the new block to the network.

> Other miners verify the validity of the proposed solution (i.e., checking the improvement in the loss function and the hash meeting the difficulty target) and add the new block to their local copy of the blockchain.

> This approach would turn the mining process into a competitive LLM training process, where miners contribute their computing power towards improving the model. It maintains some of the core properties of proof-of-work mining while directing the computational resources towards a productive goal. However, this approach still needs to address potential issues related to data privacy, intellectual property, and the synchronization of the model's weights across the entire network.
I know people like to laugh at the orange man but that removed, peoples lack of doing research and death of truth, makes this image and the game playing presidents audio pretty frigging dangerous imo.
The owner of Amazon was the prime beneficiary of VC funding to tech companies, because oftentimes a large chunk of that went for AWS. In that gold rush, Amazon was the one selling shovels.

The gold rush is now over, for a while at least, so Amazon is probably seeing a lot of their big AWS customers cutting back, or in some cases disappearing. Essentially, AWS is in the same position as SVBank. If your money comes from lots of tech startups that don't want to have their own infrastructure, and didn't used to need to worry about cutting costs, but now they do, then you can see big "outflows" (except unlike SVB it's more decreasing revenue).
Looking at the code[0], it just defines an aspect ratio threshold (170px in either direction, on line 13) for your browser's viewport and triggers if it's outside of that on width or height. So when you open a second panel, your viewport goes back to being closer to 16:9/16:10 and the tool considers that within both thresholds.

The detection is hilariously primitive, entirely unreliable, and only knows about your devtools directly if you're using Firebug.

As noted by several other people here, the IA's model of e-lending only allows one person to borrow the ebook at a time, and that is the model that the lawsuit is trying to shut down. (There was a period of 12 weeks where the lending was unlimited, but that period ended 2½ years ago, and this lawsuit isn't over that period but the program as a whole.) IA also bought the books from the publishers. So the only real difference is that IA digitized the book itself and lent out the digital copy.
I don't think that's a dumb question! I don't know if this project has an answer to that, but there are some techniques (Merkle tree hashes etc) that might work depending on how much of the model you want to download locally.

I don't see how to securely scale the inference step, though.
> In Rust there's a focus on ergonomics. How can we make this easier to use? How can we make the tooling nicer?

rustc’s error messages are _unbelievably_ nice. It’s shocking how much better they are, even compared to other modern languages. Error messages aren’t an arcane invocation that needs to be deciphered—they almost always explain exactly what went wrong, with suggestions for how to fix the issue.

I wish other languages had the same focus on DX that Rust does…
Could this incident be a sign of a more widespread practice going under the radar, or does the fact that it was caught mean others would also have been caught?
Ahh, sorry to say I'm not the person you're thinking of, Brian. That Steve passed away in 2020.
Because tech ballooned the most during the covid reaction.

e.g. META has roughly doubled in headcount since 2020. Now it is laying off a fraction of that new headcount.

I'm sure there's a similar stat for Amazon/Twitch.

And think about how much stuff people were buying on Amazon when everything was closed. Think about how many hours of twitch were watched when it was illegal to do anything else.

You can't look at e.g. Walmart and say "hey they doubled in 2 years". Thus, no lay offs needed
Given the use and current draw, it would probably require a fully 802.3 compliant active PoE adapter, which would add some ~20 bucks to the cost.
Shh you'll ruin the moment.

Yes there is a huge appetite for fixed income products, especially when the credit quality is initially strong or at the moment when the credit is so-so but the yield is just right.

These end up in your pension, your mutual fund and so on even if you don't touch the product directly.
Once a company does a round of layoffs, it freezes their ability to hire H1B candidates for (IIRC) 6 months after the WARN period ends. With the previous round, Amazon employees in India were expecting to see a possible move in August. With this round, I don’t think there will be any for 2023.
I firmly believe the number of upper respiratory infections I have each year is directly proportional to the number of doors I have to touch throughout the day. Once worked for a well-known fruit company with a reputation for paranoia and secrecy, and because of that secrecy, everything was behind locked doors. Therefore, I constantly had to handle doors throughout the day to do anything at work. I'm pretty sure during those years I was on average sicker than ever.
This is so cool.

I'm actually shocked I never thought of using SVG's for a background image. Only ever thought of them as foreground illustrations and icons.

Are there any gotchas to know? Any reason to use them as inline vs img vs background-image?
