I know people behave very differently when within hearing distance of a higher up. Now imagine you are the highest one... every person you meet, every day, is constantly thinking hard about filtering what they are telling you.

It does not matter if you pick random locations, people will still modify what they are saying when they see you.

But it helps a bit. There is higher chance you will finally meet some people who are not afraid to tell the truth. There is also chance you will start seeing some patterns. It is probable that managers will clean up a lot of stuff when they suddenly get to know about a visitation, but they won't clean up everything and you will get at least some glimpses. Visit enough restaurants enough times and glimpses may form an image of reality.
AMD CPUs often offer high performance at a lower cost than Intel's equivalent offerings.

But some people just like supporting the underdog.
Testing does not show correctness, it can only show incorrectness.
Again, nothing even remotely unethical about it.
I don’t see how you can’t consider this to be the case for all forms of property.

Enclosure of the commons was certainly for private benefit. There are numerous aspects of physical property ownership that we just take for granted that are not at all straightforward.

You seem to be using a “is it for the benefit of society” test to determine whether something is an intrinsic feature of capitalism. I’d posit that is not how the system is structured nor is it how it is intended to be structured. That’s not regulatory capture, that is inherent to what it is. You can’t just take out the parts you don’t like and treat them as a separate entity.
Not OP, but in my case, I'd love an HS part without a dGPU. I'm typing this on a 5650U and its integrated GPU is overkill for what I do. Hell, until a year ago, I used to daily drive an i5-6500 with an HD530 with a 4k display and I never felt limited by the GPU.

But I do use the CPU from time to time, so a beefier part would be useful. I would rather not pay for a dGPU which I'd use maybe 1% of the time, and which would cost more and weigh more and possibly be a PITA to manage under Linux.
This is why it is critical that there be robust competition, both in online hosted services and ideally in the form of open-source models and tooling, in this space.
When I worked retail tech, I would find opportunities to go to the store to figure out what the pain points were for our hourly associates, and found time to work on getting those problems removed or reduced: happier workers equal more sales.

They are checking all my boxes now. Outstanding.
Everything about the Starbucks CEO shift up is because of unionization. Old CEO didn't want to face congress, now if he still has to, he can simply say, "I don't speak for Starbucks". Schultz is a freaking COWARD. Now this. It's clearly a PR stunt to show other suits that the CEO "cares". But it's really to keep pushing their thumb down on the union busting button.
Imagine if one day ChatGPT could digest every scientific paper on the doi.org system (ie. google scholar but actually "comprehend" them)
I'm not sure I follow. I don't particularly care why Juergens looks human, I care why the rendered animation looks less human than her.
Why children can be better than adults at spotting misinformation
With meta downsizing all the time and google getting outplayed on their own domain.... I wonder if the big programmer cashcows might realize that scaling up software development is a pipedream and will always become net-negative at some point.
I hope not, as my job security kinda depends on there being an abundance of jobs...
$3M USD for legal fees - in what sort of banana republic is that necessary?
The Wargame series (European Escalation, Red Dragon) is plagued by a bad AI system that relies almost entirely on cheating. Had always wondered how much better it would be if it were an "expert system" type AI instead of the devs just giving it full knowledge of the battlefield and an insane amount of counters to whatever units the player fields.
Eventually the machines will evolve this intermediate language, and with time it will become impenetrable for humans without the machine caring to translate.
Programmable per-key remapping, layered modifiers that you can toggle per app or workflow (ie. quick language layout swaps, temporary low-level remaps for games that don't support remapping, Blender/Photoshop/editor-specific remaps for personal ergonomics, etc.). Tap-hold functions to send different keycodes or modifiers when you tap vs. hold down a key, often used for home-row mods that move modifier keys into the home row when you hold, say, an HJKL key.

Regardless whether this company or others have violated some specific securities law, I'm concerned about the broader issue of whether these regulators are trying to "regulate after the fact" about a new, emerging area. In principle, I think it should be legal for innovations like crypto-currencies to exist even if (or especially if) they are competitive alternatives offering advantages over sovereign fiat currencies.

When it comes to currency, the government is the ultimate monopoly incumbent. Obviously, there's a risk government financial regulators aren't entirely unbiased in their viewpoint on a technology which may be disruptive to the government's own 'business model'. That there are some bad actors exploiting the crypto boom is unsurprising and should be dealt with, while ensuring we don't suppress the sometimes chaotic evolution of new innovations.

(Note: I say not as a crypto defender but as someone who carefully considered personally buying into crypto over ten years ago and chose not to because it was (and still is) IMHO volatile and in the process of being figured out.)
Customize 'top' to look more htop-like
True, this will not only be replicated by Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook, but also by open-source. OpenAI has a short window of exclusivity. Nobody can afford to wait now, after reading the Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence paper I am convinced it is proto-AGI. Just read the math section, coding and tool use. I've read thousands of papers and never have I seen one like this.

I think you're right... but ChatGPT is just so damn good and the price is 0.002 per 1k tokens is very easy to consume... It is a big risk that they can't maintain compatibility or that they fail or a competitor emerges that provides a more economical or sufficiently better solution. They might also just becomes so unreliable because their selected price isn't sustainable (too good to last)... For now though they're too good and too cheap to ignore...
It looks to me like it repeats in 1 direction pretty quickly, but in other directions doesn't repeat at all... At least, as far as I can tell from the samples given.
> in what sort of banana republic is that necessary

For responding to a civil subpoena? None.
I'm sure this type of integration will happen, but... isn't this exactly how AGI would "escape"?
one of the important aspects for clarkesworld is international submissions. unfortunately , while technology for micropayments exist even in eg. many african countries, i haven't yet seen any micropayment system that works globally without high transaction costs.
>and therefore has no ability to do any kind of computation with nontrivial “control flow”

This isn't true if you let the model output tokens that aren't sent to the user. Basically the null api.
Did the Dean get help from chatGPT?
I don't think this is true. A lot of people in the witchcraft scene are entrepreneurs due to persecution. What is likely more correct is that "fantastic beliefs" are associated with bad economic conditions (looking for fantastic solutions to modern problems).

The institution is insulting the members of this religion(again....) by saying they 'lack entrepreneurial culture' and are 'not innovative'. One walk into a witchcraft circle , community gathering, or event will show you that this is plainly and obviously false.
A stripper is not a prostitute but is a sex worker. Same thing with the porn

Prostitution is a subset of sex work.
Honestly, I'm also flabbergasted when the guy is basically running an unregulated exchange that offers what are almost certainly unregistered securities[1] (definitionally, the value of $SUSHI LP tokens goes up when people trade other projects' tokens, so the Howey Test is clearly violated) and freely chooses to live in the US. The SEC is shooting fish in a barrel.

I saw a startup recently that's working to automate interactions with applications that are either not web apps (in which case you'd run a local instance of it) or a web app that doesn't provide an API to do certain (or any) actions. Is this something Zapier is looking at, too? It would really expand what's possible with the OpenAI integration and save people a tremendous amount of time to not be forced to jump through hoops interacting with often crappy software.
I hope you aren't taking stimulants during the day and then benzos at night to sleep -- that can be a disaster long term.
AMD have been thrashing Intel in performance, thermals and battery life for several years now. Intel are also a rather unpleasant company, I'll happily go with a competitor whenever it makes sense.
This is incredible. It's so encouraging to see this type of technological innovation that has potential to really help change the way we learn, find, and discover information.
Great to see another Yegge rant! Thought those were all history...
It's less about seeing how x store runs and more about seeing how the job for x employee is, no?

I dont think undercover bossing is helpful. But a CEO working a barista or manager shift at a store and dealing with customers and all the shit employees deal with it going to be insightful for the CEO. Hopefully that will help set policy and make work better for those workers.

So to summarize:

* Your body, not your choice

* If a person puts a substance into their their body that the governement doesn't like? Incarcerate them? Fine them to take away their means of buying more food?
The problem with flash cards is they don't actually help you with your problems which are remembering the theory and sight reading.

Sight reading is more than the note names, it is also the action of moving your fingers and not just finding the note on the keyboard but keeping your hands in the right position so your others fingers can do what they need to do. So you set your metronome nice and slow and play through your scales while singing the notes and get ear training thrown in for free. Flash cards will just add in an extra step here, you still have to learn those finger movements, sight reading and ear training. Just remember to speed up that metronome when things get easy. The Theory side is much the same.

The single best thing you can do is make practice a part of your daily routine, an hour a day every day. If you are doing that or close to doing that then you need to talk to your teacher about the lack of progress and possibly find a new teacher.
Rent seeking? Taking books off the market is straight power over the supply of knowledge. Having to learn everything the hard way, because the good books on your topic of choice have been nerfed and/or black-holed, is a nightmare that makes rent seeking look tame.

You pop off the book supply and disconnect russian piracy websites and suddenly we only know what Amazon editors, pricey Scientific journals and extended university courses, allow us to know.

The internet is excellent for technical knowledge around STEM subjects, primarily computing... but it routinely deletes valuable information from all media types. The popular http sites are a curated garden. Half of all youtube videos from 2015 onward, have been deleted.

I don't really care about paying $20/month to access all the rare and good books. Keeping it on the map is more valuable than rent-seeking.
I love the Ars Technica headline: "Relativity Space has a successful failure with the debut of Terran 1"

While technically a failure, it succeeded at many difficult tasks, like Max-Q, staging and not exploding. They got lots of data back and are in good shape for a second try.

Nobody has ever successfully launched a rocket to orbit on their first try, so Relativity was not expected to either. Some rockets have have succeeded on their first try, but no companies or space agencies have. For example Falcon 9's first try was successful, but they failed 3 times on Falcon 1 before its first success.

> We're going to have to address the coming, and/or present, highly-contaminated epistemic environment with the population and skills we have, not those we'd prefer, to borrow from another sentiment.

For the last decade or so I've become increasingly worried that the open Internet and broad-franchise democracy may simply be, inevitably, incompatible, no matter what we might wish were the case, and that we're guaranteed to lose one or the other (or, potentially, both).
> PSA: if there’s an entity, it’s not a Decentralized Autonomous Organization

I don't completely agree, because a DAO like SushiDAO could lose it's websites and social media accounts, but the total value locked in it's smart contracts would not immediately change. (in the same way as a normal legal entity) These types of contracts are usually governed with their token, which would persist if the legal entity and current developers disappeared. Though, without a way for users to interact with the contract, I would imagine most of the total value locked would move away from the contracts afterwards.

In a banana republic he’d have been beaten with a wrench until he hands over his crypto wallets.
I don't think is that harder. Also, my Framework(bought in Austria and than shipped it to Romania - still in EU) was actually sold by a company registered in Germany.
I think the common way to read "you will own nothing and you will be happy" is not as a prediction/statement, but a command about how people should feel.

For example, if I told said "you will live naked in a ditch and you will be happy", the "you will be happy" part reads like a dictate about how you should feel about the "living in a ditch" situation. The obvious disconnect between telling people they will be paying monthly dues to a bunch of rent-seekers and that they will somehow feel happy about this situation even though it sounds, frankly, awful has the same effect.
When they mentioned a new hinge I got my hopes up for a tent/360 hinge and top-cover option for a touchscreen. But it's just a heavier-weight version of the existing hinge.

I'm not looking to get on a call but my pain points are as follows:

I hate reviewing the literature, it's too hard to organize and my workflow is terrible. I've tried different managers (zotero, mendeley), their add-ons, and search websites (google scholar, paperscape, others ...). I can never keep things organized and my train of thought is always getting interrupted by context switches. It takes like 10 clicks to open a paper and by then I don't even remember why the current paper cited it.
I wish I could just click any citation in any paper and it'd directly open a new tab with the cited paper.
Also I hate navigating single papers, the back button doesn't always work after clicking on a citation link depending in what piece of software it's open, I often lose my place when looking back for specific information. I don't know that there is a technical solution to this.

I also feel that I'm always missing papers when I search for those relevant to a problem, it's like I'm manually doing a union of sets of citations weighed by how relevant they are but when I talk to colleagues with knowledge of the problem they always come back to me with some that I didn't know about. The search websites are all relatively slow and pretty basic, they don't make me confident that I'm finding everything I should be. I'll often look up conferences' accepted papers listings for keywords and find things I didn't find through google scholar for example.

I wish there was a way to more easily highlight labs and their specialties. I have no idea what the solution to this would look like. I find that through practice I built an intuition of what the good labs were and what they worked on and what their biases were but I wish there was something to help with this. Maybe something to colour code author names so I don't have to parse dozens of hard to read names looking for familiar ones.

I'm part of three different organizations and never found a sensible way to share sets of papers with everyone easily.

I hate latex: positioning and sizing figures is hard, my formulas always come out ugly, I never know whether my ten thousands curly-braces are closed correctly before I compile.

I hate live online discussions of mathematical formulas, everyone has their preferred white boards full of ads that always bug, and I have to screenshot the screen to save what we talk about which is inconvenient, also I suck at writing math with a mouse. I hate writing live latex also because it's slow.

I like a lot of what overleaf has to offer for writing notes and asynchronous writing as a team.

That's all that I can think of off the top of my head with regards to the writing process. For context I only just finished a PhD (on a somewhat biomedical subject), maybe a lot of those pain points resolve themselves with more experience and different institutional practices, either way hope some of it is useful. Best of luck with your project.
Everyone is misreading the extract. "Witchcraft beliefs" means people who are afraid of witches, not people who are witches. It's not a comment about witchcraft practitioners (esp. in the west) but countries where people routinely blame witches for various issues.
It's poisoned by the fact that it requires access to CSAM, which makes the operation illegal, even if the output might not be illegal.
For what it's worth, I have a counter-anecdote: all the women I know who are into witch stuff are married with children and several of them are self employed doing arts & crafts kind of stuff.
>There is no process

You just described a process to make plastic that looks like igneous rocks, which seems to be all the paper is claiming.

The abstract mentions "plastic debris forms are rock synthetic equivalents in which humans act as depositional and post-depositional agents," so I suspect the authors are thinking the same thing. I can't see the full text however.
I’d be interested to know whether Bard has been tuned (or source prompted) into speaking in the first person in this way, and thus there is potentially an element of culpability here since that style of output does tend towards potential plagiarism. (“I did this / I did that / etc”)

Or equally this could simply be a byproduct of language completion, since the phrase “I tested the hardware” etc is likely present verbatim in the source training material.
It almost certainly won't take the form of a text format. Impersonating a chatbot or a search engine GUI is just the fastest way for OpenAI to accumulate a few hundred million users, to leave the competition for user data and metadata behind.

You can declare what you want, no one is obligated to listen to you.
Mouth movements in particular tend to set off my uncanny valley senses too. I was recently playing God of War (2018), a very pretty game but when I paid close attention to the mouth movements as the characters speak it was noticeably low-fidelity (the movements are very coarse, and also had slight but perceptible rushing/dragging relative to the spoken audio). Compared to how good everything else looked, I found it slightly jarring.

In my case I just try not to focus too hard on any one thing, and that helps me get immersed.
