Nah, this is the nymwars argument and Facebook comments on news articles + the period of real names on YouTube shows that does not help as much as you think it does.
It’s only limited if everyone was informed before, and informed now. Given the market moves neither appear to be the case. The mere impression of the open ended risk is sufficient to cause contagion. People will be looking closer at the regulatory discretion clauses in bail in legislation and probably not liking what they see.
Cuckoo's Egg is so much more than a hacking story. It's a history of a time when the internet was tiny and people assumed good faith. It's a history of a time when very few people were interested in or believed that computer crime was real or had any impact.
The problem I have with VR is the space requirements. You have to dedicate pretty much a whole room for VR. Most people don’t just have a room spare to play some slightly more immersive shooter games.

I played about 300 hours of VR, then moved somewhere that didn’t have the space, and I haven’t ever felt the desire to play VR since. Regular PC games are just as fun if not more so.
I imagine that there will be a lot of work to improve this over the coming years, not just because of asahi, but the cloud ARM systems that are being developed.

I think that Fedora may be leading the pack here, see https://danielpocock.com/power9-aarch64-64k-page-sizes/
so far it's no where "good enough" though
It's not pedantry. The parent commentator is simply stating something incorrect and its very misleading at a conceptual level for people who won't think about it too much. And you can guarantee they will do so reliably unless you parameterize the input with some "truly" (yea i know) random input.
I agree. I accidentally ended up using the very basic todolist in my starter kit https://github.com/mcapodici/firestarter for all my todos! And noticed the ui and ux issues as a result.

Depends if it’s a bail-in or a bankruptcy and depositors don’t get to pick which one is applied to their bank.
Pay closer attention. this is american capitalism, the implementation undertaken by the US itself as is relevant to the stories locale. it is not the definition itself.
This is extremely unhelpful headlinese

1) not all phones

2) chipsets in phones vary by where they are sold.

3) only exynos chipset phones are affected. in some economies. sold by some vendors. Not all models with a given name and code number (pixel 7, samsung 22) will be affected. "it depends"

4) not all manufacturers declare their chipset so

5) it is almost impossible for anyone but the cogniscenti to know if they are exposed to the problem, and a huge amount of FUD is flying around right now about exactly which models, which versions, which economy variants are affected, patched, can be patched, will be patched

6) the "turn off" button has been removed from some phones, presumably at the behest of the carriers to have to gatekeep VoLTE and VoWIFI and decide if they want it on or not, and do not always permit users to decide this for themselves.
> There's a semi-common experience where people try Rust, think it's too hard, quit, and then come back 3 or 6 months later, try again, and are completely unstuck.

This was my experience, I came back a year or two later, and both I and the language had improved. I'm not sure who improved more, but whatever happened I'm really enjoying the language now.

On that day, "I told you so" wont bring us back from the brink.
Yes, it was not my intention to imply that those old operating systems were fundamentally more secure in some way. You're getting at it here: the space has broadened, and asserting that old software is more secure than new software based solely on documented RCE counts is laughable.
> What is this obsession with endless population growth?

Because both socialism and capitalism require growth to function. We need a new economic system.
Interestingly, sometimes it fails like this: "Yes, the second letter of foobar is b. The word foobar is spelled as f-o-o-b-a-r. Do you know what foobar means?"
One can argue that on the day when USA becomes actively hostile to immigration -> it will start losing tech dominance.

Continued immigration in the USA is vital to maintain business as usual, for one basic reason: It is too damn expensive for US Gov to give great education for everyone. Starting from daycare to college - if you sum up cost of raising a kid in private daycares/preK/schools/colleges it will be > $1M.

Account for probability 1/100 of a kid being gifted/talented in certain area like IT, and you are looking at spending $100M to get one gifted specialist. Just one!

It is much cheaper to cherry pick and import foreign talent and give them education at top tier places like Ivy leage/MIT/etc.
> For people who lived through 2007-2008 do you think the current times feel similar to how the last financial crisis unfolded?

Not even slightly. Largely, because it wasn’t preceded by anything like the hollow post-2001 expansion, which, despite being an expansion (the period of aggregate growth between recessions), saw the upper income limit of the four lowest quintiles, and the low limit of the top 5%, all decline in real terms, with all of the gains concentrated in a very narrow segment at the top. It took the top of the bottom quintile until 2018 to bounce back to the 2001 level, for the second quintile that was 2016, for the third 2015, for the fourth quintile and the bottom end of the top 5%, 2013. For most of society, despite the gains at the top between recessions, the crisis was really 2001-2009, not just the “Great Recession” years of 2007-2009.
PocketCasts is pretty great, although I was grandfathered into my "pay-once" plan.
OpenAI's previous completion endpoint for the davinci-003 and older models included a "logprob" return option: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions/c...

Their newer chat style endpoint for the GPT-3.5-turbo and GPT-4 models no longer supports this. https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat
Wow what a great line-up!
When I started using an iPhone for the very first time, Overcast was the first app that I actually paid for. Marco is a long-time iOS developer/MACOS developer and has been an indie dev since the very early days of the Appstore. He also was one of the very early critique of Apple's draconian App Store rules policies. I liked Overcast and was a difficult decision to switch to Android as I can't seem to find an equally good podcast app. welp. Updated. Thanks zillion for the kind souls who linked to Pocketcasts from Automattic. Downloaded and happy.
No. WASM is its own byte-code, which can be either interpreted directly, or JIT'd to machine code. There's no transpile to JS step.

(There's a text representation too.)
Qualcomm's lack of support for older chipsets has been blamed for the short lifecycles of these phones. Pixel 6 and 7, which don't use Qualcomm SoCs, both get at least 5 years of security updates.

Is it possible for the current generation of LLMs to assign confidence intervals to their responses?

That's my main qualm with ChatGPT so far: sometimes it will give you an answer, but it will be confidently incorrect.
That's honestly extremely impressive. I do hope that the 'in the wild' examples aren't completely curated and are actually being rendered on the fly (They appear to be, but it's hard for me to tell if that' truly the case). Pretty cool to see however.
In all circumstances. It’s a nonsense theory that is entirely based on the idea that everybody in the world will accept the value of our currency is maintained while no other country on earth gets this benefit.

The sarcasm was warranted.
So the banks can take risks but the tax payer pays when things go wrong?

Maybe there needs to be regulation that forces banks to hold way more cash?
I think the precautionary principle should apply to AI. Assuming and acting as if they have agency, is safer than assuming they don’t.

> it should be clear, or demonstrable, that the model (1) has goals (2) takes concrete steps to achieve those goals.

That definition seems arbitrary to me; many humans wouldn’t pass this test. On the other hand, LLMs certainly seem capable of acting towards specific goals (such as helpfulness). So, I would say that based on your definition, LLMs have agency. But I think you really meant, internally generated goals. Time will tell.

That said, humans who don’t have clear goals can and are coerced into all sorts of damaging behaviours by those who do have goals. So even if I accept that LLMs don’t have their own goals, they can certainly be manipulated to act in favour of the goals of others. That’s effectively what prompt engineering is all about.

So I just think it’s a mistake to make assumptions about these LLMs. We don’t know why they work so well, and it will take a very long time until we do.

In the meantime, let’s not make assumptions that we can’t justify.
No, we aren’t 5 years into a hollow “expansion” like the post-2001 one. People who only look at aggregate figures and headline institutional failures, and ignore distributional facts of the preceding context, simply cannot begin to understand anything about what was going on in the Great Recession.
The host runtime might provide the ability to spawn threads, but WASM would presumably still need to establish a memory model. I don't know if it has one, or not.

(Or, I suppose it can just completely isolate the memory between threads, and say nothing is shared. But I don't think that's what people would want?)
Yeah but anyone bothering to go to this much effort could most likely have just paid a troll-farm in the Philippines to do this today.

The investment required to pull that off at scale would be non-trivial (I'm not talking millions, but tens of thousands let's say).

You can pay kids in India to make up a LOT of dumb shit on Reddit for that kind of money.

At best, it's a linear increase in the problem. Not exponential like social-media
There are two versions of the S22, Exynos (Europe) and Snapdragon (everywhere else). Is it correct to assume that the Snapdragon S22 is not affected by this?
You want to make it even harder to get a job? The better the benefits you mandate for firing/leaving employees, the more onerous companies become about bringing on more manpower (and eventually, lower wages as a whole since they have to fund an additional 10% or whatever whenever someone leaves).

You're arguing that companies should implement these measures at the cost of just hiring people? "Companies would actually have to try and make an educated choice about whether or not to hire someone." - Isn't it already a meme that people get 3-6 interviews just to get hired at some places nowadays? and you want to make that worse? Maybe I'm reading that wrong, but employees aren't the big losers in situations where companies are doing layoffs - companies are. If they had more disciplined hiring practices they wouldn't be hired (or, more likely, wages as a whole would be slightly lower because of reduced demand)
These kinds of benefits aren't free, and I don't think it's unreasonable that employees bear some responsibility in terms of saving up or whatever if they have to be let go.

All that being said, I'm not against a couple of months of wages/warning, just realize there are costs to this (really, I'm probably arguing most against 3-6 months - that sounds like a really long time to me; It feels like a couple of months should be sufficient in most cases).
As I recall Lenin didn't think actual communism was obtainable without a long period of enforced socialism .. so the regime under Lenin was never actual communism (at least according to Lenin) and not especially socialist other than in name by Lenin.

In any case it segued into Stalinism .. and all of these were oppressive authoritarian top down rule.

People that think of post revolution Russia as a good example of communism are the kind of people that think of the USofA as a good example of capitalism.

That's not cool giving your paying customers only a 3-day notice before making a breaking change / shutting down a service.
I don't think China would release an app, it's a country which highly values censorship and hiding information, why would they want ChaGPT like systems that aren't heavily censored / broken from entering the public sphere.
FTA:

> “The thing I really want to do is establish palindrome writing as a literary form, to show people you can write palindromes that are beautiful and funny and factual and have real literary merit,” he says.

To me, even just the examples you gave prove that palindromes are essentially poetry in a totally ordinary way. The idea is to express something, intellectually and/or aesthetically, creatively, under constraints based on the structure of the words. Usually it's the syllabic structure, but in the case of palindromes it's the orthographic structure. And it's a really, really hard, singular constraint.

> Interesting that earlier coverage of this also indicated VoLTE as vulnerable

The initial reporting on Project Zero's findings was pretty clear that this was the case.

>"Tests conducted by Project Zero confirm that those four vulnerabilities allow an attacker to remotely compromise a phone at the baseband level with no user interaction, and require only that the attacker know the victim's phone number," Willis wrote in a breakdown of the security flaws.

Willis suggests turning off Wi-Fi calling and Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) to protect against baseband remote code execution, if you're using a vulnerable device powered by Samsung's silicon.

I do agree that only the US (or whichever country controls the reserve currency) could really get away with this. But it already gets away with quite a lot, including "exporting inflation," so why not squeeze the dollar for all its worth as long as it's printed by the world's only superpower?

Every crisis is different IMHO.

If the Fed hadn't stepped up to insure the SVB deposits, we might be in a much worse situation, but as it is this feels like it could possibly maybe get out of control if a whole series of other bad things happen, but probably very unlikely.

There was one day in 2008 where it really felt like 'this is it, it really actually is all going to come crashing down, unless...'.
> We compare our reconstruction with state-of-the-art models in single-view 3D reconstruction.

Here they list "GT Mesh", "Ours", "Point-E", and "MCC". Does anyone know what technique "GT mesh" refers to? Is it simply the original mesh that generated the source image?
>and are actually being rendered on the fly

They are precomputed, "Note that the demo allows a limited selection of rotation angles quantized by 30 degrees due to limited storage space of the hosting server." but I don't think they are curated, the seeds probably correspond to the seeds of the live demo you can host (they released the code and the models)
My wife spent a few years there and also speaks highly of the people. They seem to be a people and culture that are able react to the hardships of life with grace and patience not seen here in the US.

I also wonder why that is. They definitely don't have the sense of entitlement so prevalent here.
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 (on behalf of the fed), and the bank needs to pay the fed interest. The bank also needs to pay the loan back by an agreed uppn time (which destroys the money).

Why can we not have a similar system for deposits? A bank takes a deposit, the fed "destroys" the money, but pays interest to the bank. When the depositor wants to withdraw their money, the fed/bank recreates the money.

I guess this is sort of what happens with banks buying bonds from various government bodies, but the banks are managing a mix of bond maturity durations.

If bank runs are a worry, why not do away with this flexibility for the banks?
Twitch has recently (within the past few months iirc) started giving streamers a lot more control over how and when ads are run. I don't know a ton of details, but it sounds like the streamer has some target [1] (like 3 minutes of ads per hour) and gets to choose exactly when those ads are displayed. If they meet that target, it disables Twitch's preroll and midroll ads entirely.

I exclusively watch speedrun streams, and from what I've seen it works great for those. No more preroll ads, and if the runner is paying attention to their ad schedule, they run a big block of ads for when they breaks to stretch/eat/use the restroom/etc, or during downtime like reset-heavy and cutscene-heavy earlygame sequences, so you don't miss anything.

It's a significantly better experience than the normal preroll ads and random/timed midroll ads, and from what I've heard it sounds like Twitch pays more to the streamers who use this system as well.

Compared to homebrew, do prebuilt binaries have to be installed in a predefined path they were built in or is it also flexible?

The best starting word is "SALET".
Yes, they can. You instrument the module/byte code/JIT'd code to consume a virtual "gas", and when it's consumed, execution returns to the host. E.g., in wasmtime: https://docs.rs/wasmtime/latest/wasmtime/struct.Config.html#...

(I presume the browsers implement something similar, but I've not tested it to see.)
Around 2010 the company I worked for had a pay freeze. Most employees worked in the office, but about 1/4 worked remote. About three years later the freeze was lifted. The in office employees were notified about said policy change and got raises shortly thereafter. Us remote employees didn't know about the change until almost 2 years later. After an in office employee mentioned it to one of us.

When we brought it up to management they were apologetic, and said they forgot. I work for a small company that wasn't particularly organized so it's possible they forgot but still. :(

TL;DR; If you take the pay cut, check in every few months with both management and others at your level.
Nothing is really us. We're wearing masks all day, every day. This stuff just lets us have more control and more fun with the masks we get for online use.

Who cares if it's fantasy? We crossed that line _long_ ago with the examples you already brought up. The only difference is that this is new.
Seeing examples from happy users might help?

Or a refund policy could seal the deal? :)
To be fair, Apple almost certainly has more than one developer working on theirs, so it is probably almost impossible to maintain any kind of real quality over time.
Same here. I wanted to filter a feed to only get the episodes longer than XX minutes and the developer told me on Twitter that the feature was added pretty recently.
That's also the only app I'm a paid subscriber just to support its development.
I live five miles from the nearest area of cellular coverage due to hilly geography. Wifi calling allows my phone to make calls at home.

Cryptos without traditional banks and fiat flowing in and our cannot exist. Unlike Bitcoin exchanges, at least certain amounts are guaranteed at banks, money can't be stolen, and cyber criminals would be persecuted and jailed - not the case with crypto!
