What John Carmack said in his tweet replying to a DM recently resonates with me the most. Languages, Architectures, and everything in between are essentially just a tool(the thing which changes) to produce the end result you desire. i.e. the business application or outcome you want. Thinking in this way, using Natural Language, and/or prompting seems like the best way and highest abstraction that we always strived to achieve in Software engineering.
That's your bank's (bad) choice I'm afraid - it's certainly not a requirement.

Revolut for example will let you see & block all subscriptions directly from the app: https://www.revolut.com/subscriptions/. In the UK, it's a legal requirement that all banks let customers block any recurring card payments on request (at least via phone/email/letter) with no questions asked, as long as you ask at least a day before the next payment: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/debt-and-money/banking/sto...
Don't fret. Realism is just the least opinionated art director. You can apply this tech to more fantastical character models.
I think it is cool they are developing new tooling. I don’t understand all the negativity. Isn’t it good that people keep innovating in this space?

Also how is this different from deploying before k8s and TF etc was a thing? We would write our own scripts to manage and deploy our servers. This is the same no? Just bit more structured and it has a name.
This a thousand million times.

The mislabeling of LLMs and diffusion models as "artificial intelligence" is probably the biggest marketing blunder in the history of technological progress, one that could ironically affect the course of AI alignment itself.

Smart thinkers and policymakers are going to waste their time framing the problems the tech poses in terms of "an uncontrollable intelligence out to get us" like it's some kind of sentient overlord completely separate from humanity. But super-advanced technology that can operate in a closed loop (which could be called AGI depending on who's asked) isn't necessary for humanity to crater itself. What's required for such tech to come into existence in the first place? Humans. Who's going to be using it the whole time? Humans.

And I think there's still a lot of disruptive, world-changing tech to be discovered before AGI is even a remote possibility. In reality this tech is probably going to be more like a superpowered exoskeleton for CEOs, politicians and the like to sway public discourse in their favor.

"An uncontrollable intelligence" already describes the source of a lot of our current problems... that is, ourselves.

Someone below mentioned that the important part isn't that it tiles aperiodically, but that it ONLY tiles aperiodically. There are simpler shapes that will tile both aperiodically and periodically.
You explain that by understanding that nobility had the resources and influence to get utensils and other kitchenware that were ceramics decorated with lead containing glaze and metals that contained lead. You have causality entirely backwards, eating lead does not somehow turn someone into nobility. That's an absurd conclusion

This seems like a pretty irrelevant derail of the GPs point, no? Regardless the revolution was about their rights as Englishmen being infringed upon, not the amount of taxes paid.
Paper is heavier and bulkier, production is pretty resource intensive, recycling doesn't work all that well, it's not transparent, and you may have to line it with something else to make it hold up to moisture. It's better than plastic I guess but a non-fossil-sourced and easily biodegradable plastic would be kind of perfect for this, even if it was a little

I think first logical step is to legislate banks from enabling this. That should cover most of the problem without a wide ranging laws.
The big benefit of something like a pi is that it offers the flexibility of a linux-bootable computer with the IO pin interface of an MCU. That being said, maybe there's a cheap, easy way to get a GPIO interface on a NUC? I know there are USB to GPIO boards you can buy, but I have no idea how easy they are to use, and what the drawbacks might be. There are also extremely expensive GPIO interfaces that negate the cost-savings of using a cheap NUC.
On an infinite plane, math is telling us that there is no pattern. Is this correct?

NYC subway is more expensive per meter? No shit. What's the ROI? How many passengers per day? What do you think are the economic payoffs for those investments?

What survey showed 80% of respondents preferring suburbs? A suburb versus what? What kind of respondents do you think they got? How do you reconcile this with the market reality of brutal real estate shortages in America's denser cities? (Just pull up some pricing per sqft. How do urban vs rural compare?)

This is all even without taking into account the market distortions (and ponzi schemes) arising from the US's infrastructure sprawl since the 50s. What happens if/when the cities stop subsidizing the completely financially insolvent surrounding areas?
It says not to use effects, but then suggests useMemo which is an effect!

Here in Europe we don't even have a dispute - it's legal up to a point, and we don't see much benefit to fight over when exactly this point happens. It's usually ok for practical purposes.

The barrier isn't the financial cost. It's the social stigma.

You have to walk up to that machine, where others can see you, and purchase it. People talk, maybe your parents find out, etc. I grew up in a super conservative area- the only way I bought condoms was by being the clerk at the gas station and buying it when literally no one was around. Because that was the only way.

But if everyone gets handed them handed out for free, well, there's no stigma because everyone has them.

And the cost to the government is peanuts compared to the cost of all the teenage pregnancies by kids who sure as heck can't afford to raise kids.
When Bonsai Kitten first happened (over 20 years ago), my concern was that it might inspire people to abuse animals.

> credit cards don’t just let you mark a transaction as “don’t allow any more of these.”

Ironically, they do almost all support this, you can mark any merchant as non-future-billable and prevent all future charges from a given merchant. Unfortunately, you have to call in and ask a phone rep to do it for you, most cards don't let you set this yourself.
You're replying to a VP of Marketing, not sure what you're expecting here. This subthread is just an ad for Pinecone if you didn't already realize that.
I don't think America is the outlier here, I've had some maddening experiences with French companies when I lived there. You basically have to send them formal recorded letters threatening them with legal action just to cancel basic things, and even then they call your bluff and just ignore you 50% of the time.

Furthermore, they've actually got a more direct and much more persistent motivation to exploit your personal information for all its worth.

In general the conventional narratives on personal security are completely backwards. If some drive by attacker gets your credit card or social security number and uses them to defraud someone else, your rights are well represented by the system and you have plenty of recourse. Whereas if some commercial surveillance advanced persistent threat gets your personal data accompanied by a boolean field in their database saying that you agreed to "terms" saying they can abuse it however they want, there is literally nothing you can do to stop them in the US. Furthermore the underground lists of CC/SSN your semi-private information made it into will eventually be considered stale and forgotten about, while corporate surveillance databases are forever.
You make a good point. Probably better to just work a full two weeks at a location once a year than 1 day a month.
Framework announces AMD, new Intel gen, 16“ laptop and more
20 years ago Peter Jackson had a whole team to do it, across months, with Andy Serkis in a specialized suit, on a specialized camera rig, with amazing lighting and green screens. All to map to a single animation model Golem.

This was done on an iPhone, in subpar conditions, by 2 people, with regular clothes and background, for any/all humanoid models in under 90seconds!!!

Amazing!!! It’s the only word for it and it doesn’t do the accomplishment justice.

> One of the craziest damned things I hear devs say about LLM-based coding help is that they can’t “trust” the code that it writes, because it “might have bugs in it”.

I can't speak for other devs, but when I'm talking about my inability to "trust" an LLM-based coding partner, it boils down to the lack of transparency around where that code actually came from. There have been numerous documented instances of Copilot and similar tools plagiarizing code verbatim from other projects, sometimes in ways that violate the license terms of the code in question; the last thing I need is to get nailed over an accidental GPL (or, worse, some EULA) violation.

Starbucks doesn’t have a good track record for replacement CEO for Howard Schultz (founder/CEO).

So I’m sure these kind of announcements is to instill confidence with Wall Street that this CEO will work out.
my amex processed my chargeback for gold's gym just fine. They said it was a no obligation free trial I could cancel at any time and then when I called to cancel before the first bill they said no, you have to come once a week for that to be true..?
I'm thinking as an added protection measure we should always use a secondary phone line plus a secondary email and fake address for these types of subscriptions. You don't know what they are going to do.
I think the Google Play store also sends you a reminder before a free trial converts to a paid plan, which is better.
The cars are going to be driving themselves any day now too.

The easy part of anything can be replaced by AI. It's the hard part that's the problem.
That particular PC dual-boots windows and Linux.

When the PC is either fully off or hibernates under Linux, it never ever turns on on its own. Wake on LAN and bios timers are all disabled.

I've already complained about this on some other thread, and a poster talked about some kind of timer that windows activates. I think there's some merit to that because it always turns on at night, I don't remember it turning on during the day.

I never went looking for details, since this is only a gaming PC, so it's not that much of a hassle to just turn it off. I'm not confident that an update won't reverse the change.
Ballys? whatever happened to that shithole.
> The UX people were redesigning workflow to be “easier” and less information dense

I never really understood why they focus on these two things. They're good for rank beginners, I suppose, but once you've even approached competency, those "easier" workflows inevitably end up being a huge pain in the ass, and lower information density is actively a terrible thing.
I want this for all subscriptions, not just gym & cable. I had to waste 15 minutes of my life a few weeks ago convincing The Economist to actually cancel my subscription. They were deceitful and tried various ways of phrasing their counter offers hoping I'd slip up and say something other than "No, just cancel."

If I can sign up on the web site, I should be able to cancel with just as many clicks.

People need performance and narrative.

Spending one day a month so you can say to fellow executives "I actually went and touched the problem, we need to fix it" and so employees can say to each other "he actually came and touched the problem, he must be working on fixing it" has real value.

Actually learning about the problem and coming up with a solution is best done by listening to the people like you said, but there's a role for the other thing too.
Herod had a reputation for being paranoid, particularly when it came to his wives. He had at least nine wives, and several of them were executed on suspicion of plotting against him.

Now where have I heard this before...

We few, we happy few, we band of baristas;

For any to-day that boils a brew with me

Shall be my bestie; be they ne'er so vile,

This day shall glow up their selfie post;

And customers in Bed-Stuy now a-bed

Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,

And hold their socials cheap whiles any speaks

That pulled with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Nope. Use Discovercard, I've used them to cancel services for me. All you have to do is say you tried yourself and then they'll close your account, and open a new one. It's not enough for them to change your number, as the old number will still work. Problem is it will cancel every autopay connected to that card, so it's a nuclear option.
And mine won't even hold a steady connection from a few feet away! Not without having to "turn it off - and turn it on again", at least once every few days.
It's like some clamp comes down on the mind and stops critical thinking, where usually they are pretty thoughtful people otherwise. Self preservation instinct I guess.
> something about the way her mouth moves felt off

To be honest, the way her mouth moves in real life felt very off. The "(over-)acting" during the capture was very unnatural, likely down to pressure of being on-stage as well as that just being a common problem for untrained actors doing anything scripted.

Would be interested to see how it handles a capture of someone just engaging in natural conversation or something else less dramatic & exaggerated.
I agree that you need to dive in if you want to take advantage of current opportunities.

On the other hand, some skills could go obsolete pretty quickly. People new to the game will be able to avoid previous mistakes and skip the old stuff. It seems unlikely that future college grads will be missing out due to lack of experience?
It’s important and necessary to leave your house. Do you feel the same way about high schoolers having sex?
You can actually see this information on reportaproblem.apple.com now. Has recent charges by each family member and tells you if a subscription will renew.
One could also flat out refuse to talk to bots. It might seem childish but in the long run could be fine saving considering how people will use them to water your time and confuse you.

It's like people skipping preselection tired topic menus in self service via phone.
Every time Framework is brought up, there's a chorus of people saying they won't buy until they release an AMD edition, and as one of them this is great to see.

Edit: Also the input deck and the ability to attach an egpu as well as upgrade to a newer egpu in the future are huge. This is a fantastic leap forward for Framework.

As long as the customers don't know, I can imagine it might help.
I really think it depends on what level you're at. If you're still struggling to identify notes on the staff, then flash cards are just fine. If you're struggling to identify the intervals or triads, also still fine. If you can do that easily, then forego the flash cards and start analyzing Bach chorales.

But I'll restate what I said elsewhere, I think ear training is much more important once you get past the basics. In that case, I'd learn the Nashville Number System (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville_Number_System).
I think there's also a 14 day grace period after the charge to cancel and refund the subscription. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084
They're mentioned in the article. You can cancel by chat now though. I take advantage of that to renegotiate yearly.
Unfortunately, I think this is a losing battle. They can't scale the number of human readers checking for story quality, and AI can scale almost limitlessly. Automated AI detection simply doesn't work. I've experimented with all the main AI detectors, and they are woefully inaccurate, especially with GPT-4 content.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than "free trial" subscription-based apps on the App Store. It is, overwhelmingly, a tool used for scams.

The pattern-

-hide promised functionality behind subscription.

-offer "free trial", often with very short trial periods.

-convert that into a big dollar subscriptions.

They know that most of the people who they ensnare are probably going through a multitude of tools trying to find a solution for some problem (and the fact the tool in question often fails to do what it promised is a feature because it encourages the user to move on quicker), and some subset will fail to cancel the "trial" before it becomes a pay service.

Consenting adults, sure, and personally I have never fallen prey to this, looking at the in-app purchases and just refusing to be baited, but it's enough of a problem that it should embarrass Apple a bit.
The process is spelled out in more detail in Prof. Mollick's month-old Substack post which is linked (through a t.co redirect) from the NPR article:

There are now a lot of services that can create realistic, virtual voices. Many of these can create voices that mimic anybody with high accuracy. For my experiment, I used a service called ElevenLabs, which cost me only $5.... As you might be starting to suspect, there are a growing number of services that will create a video of you from just a script and a single photograph. I used D-ID, which costs $5.99 a month....

I think your question might be his point.

We can easily imagine the destruction of all existence because we have mental models for what that destruction might look like; however, imagining the end of capitalism requires us to invent entirely new ideas that exceed the salience of capitalism itself (which is… obviously hard much harder).
At some point, someone will write a LLM assistant to go through all of the LLM-generated email to be able to intelligently filter out spam, summarize the rest, and highlight the important stuff.

I don't think so. It's an older PC without the new "s2idle" thing. It's either classic S3 sleep or hibernation. It also doesn't do the Linux kind of "sleep + hibernate" (don't know if that's a thing under windows) because the LED doesn't blink (it blinks for s3) and even if I turn it back on right away, it will go through the whole BIOS POST thing, bootloader, etc. The MB has an internal LED showing its state and it shows the same thing as a full shut down.
When the Framework came out, I was excited, but not in the market for a laptop. I've been waiting for the chance to buy one, especially as they announced more and more things that I'm interested in. Now that I'm finally in the market, I was waiting eagerly for this new announcement.

The only question I'm left with now, which Framework to get? Do I pre-order the AMD 7040, or do I wait for the new 16 so that I can get a GPU? I'm thinking about going the AMD route now, buying the dGPU option they have and using it as an eGPU when it becomes available, and then switching to the 16-inch chassis when I'm ready...
