When you know something you know it in multiple different contexts and forms, not just how it relates in response to a stimulus, or a prompt.
Don't know if you're trolling, or making a joke but I'll bite just once: I believe it doesn't matter, that Russia was going to invade whether the US wanted to stop or encourage them, whether they were displeased or excited or even if they were indifferent to the matter altogether. There are a lot of people who remove any agency from Putin or Russia and talk like Joe Biden himself texted all the various Generals in the Russian Army instructing them to invade and that Putin just ran with it out of embarrassment.
More than that, I think the underlying problem is that people simply don't want VR/AR. Decades of science fiction writing has convinced us that it is the future, but like..why?
Wikipedia is wrong. Conflicts between two powers where both have fighter jets are
infrequent so of course BVR engagements are infrequent, so saying "it hasn't happened in 30 years" would be misleading even if it wasn't incorrect.

But it is incorrect, because most engagements in Ukraine ever since the first month of the war have been at beyond visual range. And should a conflict ever break out between China and the US, pretty much if not literally every air engagement would happen at beyond visual range. Just because it hasn't happened much doesn't mean it's an outdated idea, it just means that powers with significant air forces haven't shot at each other lately.
Nothing in particular other than knowledge that I can use across domains. I don't want to know how to write an interpreter per se, but I want to understand the steps from text to machine code.

I think it has already yielded benefits in my better understanding of environments and lexical scoping, grammars + LALR. It has just given me different conceptual tools that I can use to learn new concepts.

A concrete example was that I was playing around with a recursive prompt with ChatGPT the other day trying to figure out if I could get it to write a more specific version of a prompt I had given it and sort of bootstrap its way to a very specialized "train-of-thought". I was thinking about grammars and how recursive prompting is sort of like a meta-grammar. It's just a new way of thinking about things.
Indeed. In fact, my main reason for ZFS on root is boot environments. If something breaks, its trivial to roll back the rootfs as it was in the old BE, before the upgrade. And I run ZFS on FreeBSD.
Could also be compounded by sitting on our asses all day (literally, not figuratively).
My question still stands? _What_ aspect are you modeling exactly? The Sun as a celestial body? The fluid dynamics of the surface? The nuclear process going on in the core?

You can’t just entirely “model” something as complex as a star anymore than you can do large scale simulations of the universe at the atomic level. If we could we would be much more ahead as a civilization.
Sorry for my confusion, but what do AR goggles have to do with the rest of the things you listed?
I feel like banning outlets for self expression is going to be even worse for teen mental health than the status quo.
Plenty of people get pulled over for going ten over, some states are known for pulling over for anything over the limit. Hell, lots of people get profiled and pulled over for nothing at all. It’s so interesting to see this kind of privilege on display, thinking that pushing the legal boundaries is now technically “legal”.
As someone who really does enjoy being terminally online, but who also enjoys being out in the world, I have to say I'm kind of excited about the possibility here.

The whole wearable & ubiquitous computing dream greatly motivated me as a grade schooler. The idea was compelling then & still interesting/hopeful now. Given the specs (below) of the hallmark display, the p4 Private Eye (1989), I am excited to see what we can do. And Apple's general competency at hardware will be interesting to see at play as we go-forth-again:

> Mounted on a pair of glasses, with a 720 x 280 pixel red monochrome screen in a 8.89 x 3.81 x 3.18mm casing, the actual display measured 1.25-inches diagonally but appeared as though you were viewing a 15-inch monitor from 18-inches away.

The possibility of me owning an Apple product is up from 0%.
Sure, I have a process. I have 10K+ unit tests run across multiple OSes and Python versions, I have a checklist for release, and more.

But if "a process" is all that's needed to be Agile then waterfall is Agile.

Why not once a year? Does Agile require a higher delivery frequency than that?

That is, how is your question relevant to the topic?
Installing SPIRE for Kubernetes on a small cluster
I wrote this blog detailing the specific steps that I used to deploy SPIRE on a Kubernetes cluster running off my Ubuntu laptop. It's a regular Kubernetes cluster created using kubeadm, running on 1 controller and two worker nodes. My purpose was to get a working SPIRE setup that could be used for trying out stuff that uses these identities.
This is a good explanation by Niels Reimers (who created SBERT): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukIYZw3uRX0
Because wage theft is committed by the ownership class. Ted Turner, Jeff Bezos, and Rupert Murdoch don't want people upset about wage theft because they benefit from it.
The majority of managers would jump at the opportunity to reduce their number of direct reports? Owners might want to cut salaries but managers want to increase direct reports.
Yes, they emit CO2 when burned. The goal is not no-emissions but net-zero. Question is where does the carbon in the e-Fuel come from?
Still a thing at LCY
Or, it needs a re-think of human transportation in general. If people are forced to park on the street, that indicates to me that these people are living in neighbourhoods that were built before the car. Why not build public transportation that meets the needs of those people to reduce dependence on a cars?
Average transport ship doesn’t move the needle either.

My point is that the trick of narrowing the category under the consideration, and claiming (truthfully) that this category’s impact on emissions is trivial, is a trick that can be applied to anything, not only sport cars.
Are vehicles that use electric batteries instead of gasoline entirely pollution-free? Every such change is about shifting from one form of pollution to another. If your standard is zero pollution of any kind, the only solution is elimination of all humans.
The problem with what you're saying is: There's a lot of data on the Internet, but it's still finite. If you divide a finite number - however big - by infinity, you still get zero. To get something like GPT, you need to generalise to infinitely many possibilities using only a finite amount of data. Markov Chains are too simple an algorithm to produce these results.

I think your comment shows what's called the "AI Effect", where a Black Swan event in AI research - like AlphaZero or GPT - is dismissed as predictable purely based on hindsight - even though the results surprised most experts.
Aside from pure hydrogen, aren't all non-carbon combustion fuels strictly worse polluters?
Can you address the 'unprovoked' part? Reading comprehension here involves reading a whole paragraph.
https://www.cancer.org/cancer/anal-cancer/causes-risks-preve...

Infection by the human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most important risk factor for anal cancer. Most squamous cell anal cancers are linked to infection with HPV. HPV is a group of more than 150 related viruses, the same group of viruses that causes cervical cancer, as well as other kinds of cancer. In fact, women with a history of cervical cancer (or pre-cancer) have an increased risk of anal cancer.
I used to use Toggl Track, but would miss some updates and would need to go back and update, so last week I used chatGPT to make a basic chrome extension to `prompt` in asking what I am working on every 30 minutes and append to a google sheet. Then it generates a pivot table of tasks and number of hours per day.
Not coming to a firm conclusion based on incomplete evidence is the point I am making: let's not (rhetorically) convict these people without wider consideration of the possibilities.

To be clear, I am not calling for (rhetorically) dropping the charges against them, I'm just calling for "maybe we shouldn't halfway-dox people who _might_ be innocent and uninvolved parties". You know, an "innocent until proven guilty" sort of thing.

I'd have forwarded this to law enforcement, sure. Blog post about how to dismantle poorly coded operations, fine. But posting poorly redacted names and photos? There isn't even a guarantee that the individuals in question are the same people who created the github accounts.

As someone who was a victim of pretty serious bullying as a kid (including having other people make fake social media accounts with my name and picture to post horrific things that I wholeheartedly reject to harm my reputation and attempt to get me in legal trouble), I just want to remind everyone that these kind of situtations aren't always what they initially look like.

Cybercriminals do stuff like this to security researchers all the time - you need look no further than Brian Krebs being repeatedly swatted and routinely harassed/trolled by cybercriminals around the world, with major database breaches often being publicly attributed to him by the cybercriminals. There was even a carding website / marketplace set up with his name and likeness - all to harm the reputation of someone working to ethically stamp out their crimes.
I agree. What does it matter if healthcare costs an arm and a leg when you have drones delivering your weed?
The "Turing Test", as we talk about today, is a very simplified take on what Turing described, probably in an effort to pass it. You can read his original paper here [1]. In the original test, a person of some role or identity or whatever would be introduced to the interrogator. It would then be up to the AI to imitate this identity, and the interrogator would have to pick the real person vs the impersonator.

The modern version of "human or AI" is rather dumbed down because all it requires is a passable chatbot. The example Turing offered was that of a woman. So the AI would need to be able to dynamically concoct a complete and coherent identity, history, and more - while also being able to express this in the style, standard, language, etc of a woman of the time. Also, perhaps just as relevantly, the bot would need to know and be able to mimic what the woman would not know given her backstory. Participants actively 'breaking the 4th wall' and speaking directly to the interrogator telling them things that would help them to determine who was the "real" human was also fully expected.

There's also an ironic human context to current Turing tests. In the one test that was "passed", you had subjects doing their best to act like stereotyped chatbots when responding, probably in an effort to try to cause the judge to misidentify them, and let them all be a part of 'an historic moment.' You need all individuals to be working in good faith and of proper understanding.

Would this test actually prove "thinking"? Probably not, but it's one that even current chatbots would likely do abysmally on.

> doing it for money makes it less enjoyable than if you did it for its own sake.

The opposite is true for me. I’ve suckered my employer into paying me to do something I do for free on my own time. What fools.
How climate change is reshaping the Alps
Yep, dead on.
The scahdenfreude is going to be off the charts in a few years when these "tools" get so advanced that cease making people more productive and cause a massive loss of jobs, and no replacement, and no post-capitalist utopia. The people who were so sanguine about adapting to change are going to realize they were made promises that never stood a chance in hell of being kept.
My guess is either some chemical or food additive used in the industrial processing of foods that we are consuming in processed foods, or even more terrifying if true, some kind of pesticide that has been introduced in the last 20 years and is only now bearing its teeth.
That would work, but it seems antithetical to AI to have to treat every operation as a special case like that. They want GPT to be able to write computer programs but it'll never be able to work completely independent of humans if every possible domain needs its own plugin to be reliable.
I found this Freadonomics episode [1] enlightening. A lot of restaurants have tried to have "no tipping" policies, but they usually revert after they lose business due to the higher prices.

Tipping also allows for price discrimination (a good thing in an economic sense). People who are well off tend to pay more, but people who can't pay as much can still be customers.

I find it really annoying too, but there are some reasons to keep it around. 30% is just crazy though.

This kind of thought experiment always reminds me of Measure of a Man from Star Trek TNG.
How do you know how something with 7, 14 or 135 billion parameters work?
The idea of well-being is indeed multifaceted and can be difficult to pin down. While it's true that some aspects of well-being may seem transcendent, there are many material aspects that can be objectively measured and addressed.

For example, access to quality healthcare, education, housing, and a living wage are tangible components of well-being that can be improved within an economic system. Democratic Socialism seeks to provide a social safety net and equal opportunities for all, which can lead to improved well-being in measurable ways.

It's important to recognize that we don't need to rely on transcendent beliefs to understand or address well-being. We can study and observe the real-world effects of different policies and systems on people's lives, and make informed decisions based on the evidence.

As for your preference for Islam, it's worth noting that many belief systems, including Islam, share core values like compassion, justice, and the importance of helping others. These values can inform our approach to economics and social policy, without requiring us to subscribe to any specific religious or transcendent belief system.

In the end, the goal of Democratic Socialism is to create a more equitable and just society, which includes addressing tangible aspects of well-being for all people. While some aspects of well-being may be more subjective, there are many material factors that we can and should address to improve the lives of everyone in our society.
> A friend and I recently did a 2,000+ mile drive

That's about 4400 km. How often do you do such trips?

And if you discount such trips, what is your typical weekly distance travelled by passenger car?
It turns out making everything out of toxic plastic and eating garbage food full of random chemicals that were never really tested is a bad idea.

I’m not particularly shocked. This is our century’s lead paint moment. If anyone survives the fertility crisis and the burning and the famine and they can still read and write then they’re going to be wondering what we were thinking. We basically just roll things out as they’re discovered and never stop to think about the consequences. Well here are the consequences.
SUSE has been around for a long time and has always have had strong ties with the corporate world.
The last one was at work with RHEL 10 years ago, it has been long enough I should consider trying an RPM distribution again. Debian based distributions as far as the package repository hasn't give me issues but maybe RPM issues have been sorted out, good point.
Great line in this one:

[...]The physicist who mentioned this problem to me told me his rule of thumb for estimating supernova-related numbers: However big you think supernovae are, they're bigger than that.

Here's a question to give you a sense of scale:

Which of the following would be brighter, in terms of the amount of energy delivered to your retina:

1. A supernova, seen from as far away as the Sun is from the Earth, or

2. The detonation of a hydrogen bomb pressed against your eyeball?

Applying the physicist rule of thumb suggests that the supernova is brighter. And indeed, it is ... by nine orders of magnitude.
he's saying that you can build large, grey area or outright illegal, databases to do realtime face recognition on any random people you meet, with the ability to pull up tidbits or very private information there and then.
A bunch of studies came out showing that standing isn't really much better than sitting.

It's movement that you need. We are born to move, but payed to sit.
I don't see it? You will need to elaborate.
If I recall correctly, those figures in the USA and Canada for example have been falling very slightly only recently, after decades of increasing.

I suspect the rates of cancer we see wouldn’t have had a chance to decrease as a result. Cancer from poor nutrition is a cumulative thing, so we wouldn’t see meaningful changes from a few % decrease in alcohol consumption for many years (if at all).

This may be different in other countries too, so apologies if you aren’t thinking strictly within the North America bubble.
ChatGPT, is that you?
USDC issue was connected to the CeFi world. It is important to highlight that assuming USDC has 100% in banks they will recover the lost money for the interest they receive in normal banks, this is not translated to USDC holders.
Apple has come a long way from the time when not even the engineering team working on a product would know what it really was until Steve Jobs unveiled it on stage. Now everything gets leaked like at every other company.

Did Apple even have a hundred executives in 2008?
Do you have any studies that link microplastics to early onset colorectal cancer or you're just making wild claims?
In Texas there's enough food for the feral hogs. That's why they're here. The amount of trapping and hunting cannot make much of a dent in their populations, and there's no need to bait them -- affected farmers and ranchers know that they are affected. Hunters do not hunt males to the exclusion of females because there's no time to decide their sex and which to target, you just shoot the ones you can.
Could sitting for long hours could be one contributing factor?
Maybe this question is stupid but I am genuinely curious.
To give a rebuttal to these points:

1. China banned Facebook after it refused to cooperate with law enforcement following the Urumqi riots. Google and others decided the cost of following censorship laws was too high compared to the return and decided to retreat. Other American tech giants like Microsoft, Apple and IBM have a presence in China. However unjust China's laws may be, there's a qualitative differences between applying it to all companies in the same way vs. what the US is attempting to do with TikTok.

2. From an American point of view, this strikes true. For the rest of the world there's hardly a difference. If any, the US has proved it is willing to enforce its will globally against non-citizens with all means possible (see fe. Julian Assange).

3. Youtubes algorithm is strongly driven by controversy, Instagram seems to be responsible for a large amount of body dismorphia and depression in young people. I'm all for more research and stricter policies to suppress this, but just claiming things without a shred of evidence isn't helping the discussion along.
Moreover, there will be millions of new cars sold to holding companies in December 2034 and then sold as "used" in 2035-2040 with zero kilometers on them. Same things happened every time there was a new emissions regulation in EU.

Given all the loopholes and the lifespan of modern cars, I would say 2035 is ridiculously late and it should have been 2025 or 2030 at most.
Initial product will be weak, just like the original iPhone (no App Store, slow, poor battery life, etc) and Apple Watch (no development, no health tracking, small screen, poor battery life).

The thing about Apple is not to judge based on v.1 but to watch the iteration. They are the most persistent company in the world. Compare to Google which seems to have ADHD. Apple will iterate and iterate and in 5 years we’ll all be shocked that it is an “overnight success” and undisputed market leader with an unassailable ecosystem.

If their stock tanks after the release I’ll see it as a good buying opportunity!
For that, wouldn't we need a baseline of human examples to compare against, some that demonstrate reasoning and taking about self that are not found in the person's "training data"?
I think it's an open question how much better the LLMs will get. However, we should expect adoption and integration to radically transform their usage. Who knows what the Google Maps of LLMs will be.
..."you are forming a derivative work of the Kernel"

Which in the case of ZFS is obviously nonsense. ZFS was developed on Solaris and ported to many other OSes. Its certainly not a derivative work of the linux kernel. This is a case of the linux kernel devs being bullies, and trying to make life harder for 3rd party modules.

If they can claim copyright violation for using a GPL-only symbol which didn't used to be GPL-only, then I think ZFS devs can claim an antitrust violation for locking them out of the kernel. Both legal concepts are absurd..
We don't really have receipts anymore here in the USA. I mean, we're supposed to, but it's on thermal paper, but everyone's printer is broken, and they'll try to send it in email, but oh the images are broken too, and the link expired after 29.25 days anyway.

Stop reading sensationalist articles, neither humanity or the world is going to end over this.
Ahhh there's nothing like getting lectured on a Sunday morning by that one person who thinks they knows all the things that no one else knows.

edit: to stay on topic, I find these comments are useless, and do not contribute to the discussion in any way.

It's not backed up with evidence or any kind of data, it's just an opinion, and a hand-wavey one at that.
2600? How Phreaking Really Worked [Connections Museum]
If your thought example is that only two human beings exist in the world, then yes, both claims are equally extraordinary.

But since the world is not composed of two people, if one person fervently believes that the moon is made out of cheese and the rest of humanity does not, the anti-cheesers are not extraordinary, and the singular cheeser would likely be classified as mentally ill.

Have people who have been factually correct historically been classified as mentally ill, heretics and the like? Yes. But that doesn’t mean you should visit a mental institution to get the “truth” behind the invasion of Ukraine.
The obvious culprit is the increase in anal sex. https://bedbible.com/anal-sex-statistics/
I got sick Friday (turned out to be Covid - 1st time for me I know of), had a terrible headache all day, still had it Saturday morning, so took one 500mg (extra strength) acetaminophen. It knocked out the headache very quickly and it hasn't come back. So in my case, it was way better than nothing and I wish I had taken it the day before instead of suffering with a heading for over 24 hours. I for one am glad it's around.
You know that the US Dollar (and the banking system) survived 19% FFR interest rates in the 1981, right?

4.75% isn't even that much by historical standards of the past century.
