I've helped a couple of family members who have gone under the sedation that you're talking about. I don't care how much more dangerous or more expensive general anesthesia is. I'm taking that option every time. I never ever want to be under the sedation you're talking about.

That sedation takes hours and hours to wear off, where you're worse than helpless. Completely memory free for hours after the surgery is over and can barely function. It's terrifying.

Meanwhile, when I've woken up from general anesthesia the few times I've been under, I'm almost immediately perfectly conscious and able to function on my own and remember things.
Not only do you have to worry about employees directly sharing data, but many companies are also just wrappers around GPT. Or they may use your data in the future to roll out new AI services.

While this is not a new problem -- employees share sensitive data with Google all the time -- the data leakage will be more clear than ever. With ads-based tracking and Google search, the leakage was very indirect. With generative AI, it can literally regurgitate memorized documents.

The security risk goes beyond data exfiltration. Folks are already trying to teach the AI incorrect information by spamming it with something like 2+2 = 5.

Data exfiltration + incorrect data injection are super underrated risks to mass adoption of generative AI tech in the B2B world...
The FBI’s Contract to Buy Mass Internet Data
I agree. Corporate labs that fail to ship ultimately die a slow death.

Shipping is a different game though. It takes a culture of pragmatism that many academic groups don't have and don't want to have. I am curious to see how fast Google can pivot.
Google drive is great for storing research data.

I work it in a fly neuroscience lab and we use it to store all our electrophysiology and video data. Each person in the lab is storing on average 5TB of data, and the lab as a whole stores 100TB.

The graphical user interface combined with unlimited storage for Google Workspaces is essentially an unbeatable deal. Researchers can upload their data easily through the interface. Any custom solution based on S3 or equivalent would take some time to teach and more time to maintain. Also, we're paying about $200 / month total to store 100TB of data in the cloud, which is hard to beat with other services.

I tried setting up a single account for the whole lab once, but we ran into the above 5M file limit, so we just have individual accounts per researcher and it's mostly fine for now.
> It's a tough pill to swallow

Why? There are only benefits and no downsides.
We block ChatGPT, as do most federal contractors. I think it’s a horrible exploit waiting to happen:

- there’s no way they’re manually scrubbing out sensitive data so its bound to spill out from the training data when prompting the model

- OpenAI is openly storing all this data they’re collecting to the extent that they’ve had several leaks now where people can see others’ conversations and data. We are one step away if it hasn’t already happened from an exploit of their systems (that likely weren’t built with security as the top priority as opposed to scale and performance) that could leak a monumental amount of data from users.

In the most innocent case they could leak the personal info of naive users. But largely if Linkedin is any indication, the business world is filled with dopes who genuinely believe the AI is free thinking and better than their employees. For every org that restricts ChatGPT use, there are fifty others that don’t, most of which have at least one of said dopes who are ready to upload confidential data at a moments notice.

Wouldn’t even put it past military personnel putting S/TS information into it at this point. OpenAI should include more brazen warnings against providing this type of data if they want to keep up this facade of “we can’t release it because ethics” because cybersecurity is a much more real liability than a supervised LM turning into terminator.

That is a bunch of features that solve problems I have margin-trim, lh and :user-valid will all allow me to improve code in my projects. Unfortunately they aren't supported anywhere yet (except for :user-valid on Firefox). I would love to see the other browsers roll out support.
I'm nearing 40 and in the past few years I've tried to focus more on "real world" activities (I've never lacked them, I just felt like gaming had less value). I've done well with this by spending time with my interests/pastimes; however, my work lately has been less stimulating. As a result, something has been missing.

Long story short, I realized I wasn't getting into a "flow-state" often enough and guess where you can get an easy fix of that? First-person shooters.. (for me anyway). I don't have 3+ hour-long sessions or anything, maybe just a round or two and it's like that first cup of coffee in the morning.
> I recently put together a Windows 95 VM and was blown away by how straightforward and automatic everything was. It automatically recognized most hardware I threw at it, and didn't even need manual driver installation or anything.

A virtual machine you say? With a virtualized set of hardware prechosen for compatibility so that Windows would recognize it without issues? It just recognized this collection of virtual hardware selected for compatibility without further interactions? You don't say? ;)

As someone who began with Windows 95 OSR2 on real hardware you will forgive my amusement I hope?

I could be wrong, but I don't think Rust futures/tasks rely on thread-local storage anymore. Some early iterations of the feature did, but I think that was replaced with an explicit argument to the poll() function before stabilization. That said, the typical async/await syntax makes that invisible, so it definitely does feel a lot like TLS.

I love days like today, $SYSTEM goes down, then we get a thread about $ALTERNATIVES, and now posts about $ALTERNATIVE[X].

I like the look of this and the other stuff from the folks behind it, but I'm curious if anyone is using it "for real." I would love to use this over others with web UIs, but at this point I am also in the market for Git+Actions-analog, which Gitea and Drone (and now just Gitea) fill on their own. Am I missing the mark on this tool's use case, or is it not just to the place where it can do such things yet.

Not OP but https://noyaml.com/ summarizes most of it.

TL;DR: It has way too many opinionated things builtin, too many ways to do the same thing.

As a additional note, unlike JSON that has the awesome tooling available (`jq` is reasonably widespread, you can count on python/perl/node being almost everywhere), it has nothing that (because of the multiple opinionated ways) will reliably read your files or not mangle your desired output in some way or another -- except if you limit your YAML to just a embedded JSON.
To be honest I just clone and unwrap everywhere when writing the first iteration. If I care more, then I'll refactor to remove unnecessary clones. I really haven't felt the pain of the borrow checker like some people say.

If you're willing to write Nightly Rust, you can use the allocator_api feature to have the types which allocate take an allocator parameter so e.g.

Vec::with_capacity_in(10, arena_allocator)

... obviously user-defined types don't know these allocators exist and so may not provide a way to pick which allocator is used, whereas in Zig this is "always" how it worked.

For stable Rust, until/ unless allocator_api is stabilized, you will need to replace the global allocator for your code with one that has the desired behaviour. That applies to everything using an allocator, but on the other hand you lose considerable flexibility.
That doesn’t mean it needs to be an entirely separate executable. You can just have a different filter view and search control.
The one navaid likely to be around for the foreseeable future is DME. Which sounds slightly strange if you know a bit about aviation, you probably know it as slightly subservient to VOR as in VOR/DME. However, taking a number of DME fixes is a common (though slightly outdated) way of updating a fix for an aircrafts inertial navigation system.

Just want to add that you can also create a full Alpine Linux filesystem with Alpine's official "apk-static" (statically compiled version of apk) and then run it as a container, with automatic network configuration, using systemd-nspawn. There is a guide someone online, I believe. This would be stateful like a chroot, but with a bit more sandboxing features, which may be desirable.

It doesn't matter what people do. What matters is, that banks can't give deposited money back to its customers. It's just a bad system if a bank run can crash the entire system. Without switching from QT to QE again and bailing out customers two weeks ago, America may look much worse today.

“Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”
Huh. Yet another test with the first graph with all filters.

Make sure to apply "All Filters".

Observations
============

1. filter out rates rise significantly compared to just looking at a single Age Filter/Race Filter/Height filter. This makes sense and the change between "[specific] filter" and "all filters" is most apparent for height and race. My intuition is that people are more likely to set up age filters than other types of filters.

2. Show by Race: Men are filtered out less frequently than women for every race. There are way more white users of the app than any other ethnic group.

3. Show by Height: Men don't get filtered out more than women until they are 5'1" and under. Apparently, as a 5'3" man you are less likely to be filtered out than a 5'3" woman. This is very surprising to me.

4. Show by Age: Men from 35-49 are the least likely overall to be filtered out. For every age group, you are more likely to be filtered out as a woman than as a man. This is again surprising to me, especially in the younger brackets.

If everything is automated, that includes the production of whatever goods or services may be advertised. I think that leaves only ideological advertising: theological, political, whatever.

The ASCII character set standardization and subsequent keyboards has had a huge impact on programming languages. Characters not found on a standard keyboard are hardly ever used. And if thy are, it cause lots of issues, because they are so hard to type.

This is the issue with a tool so powerful, you can't just tell people not to use it, or to use it responsibly. Because there's too much incentive for them to use it.
If it saves hours of a persons' workday, and they're not seeing any of the harm caused from data leakage, there's no incentive for them to not use it.

This would mean massive deforestation to heat and build with wood. That means much more carbon than most people currently produce with less land taking it in. Burning wood ain’t the answer. Also, 1800s was the era where coal became available for businesses and the wealthy, and that’s also a bad idea. To suggest no major energy source would likewise be bad as billions would die.
Yup. I've found that in most cases a directory of script files ends up better. Or even better a directory of python files since shell kinda sucks.
Definitely <sigh>, particularly as Kerberos provides general single sign-on, rather than the uniform sign-on (just the same credentials for different services) that's typically labelled "SSO". SSH GSSAPI seems pretty simple, assuming you can populate the keytab. Is Kerberos setup really worse than alternatives for Apache (all I know)? However, the SPNEGO mechanism itself is cocked up in some way I've forgotten. One problem is people not wanting to expose the KDC to the WAN -- specifically Active Directory, as I recall Microsoft says. MIT have been doing that for ever and, for instance, Fedora uses FreeIPA over https.

I just give developers access to k8s and teach them about it. That's really just my admission that the Kubernetes API isn't perfect, but it's better than many alternatives. If I were to build something to hide k8s from developers, eventually I'd have to add so many extra options that I'd probably end up re-inventing the Kubernetes API anyway.

That may just be unique to my job. Maybe another company could force all apps into nice boxes that prevents their bespoke platform API from leaking.

Cofounder here,
What you see in the above demo is a very rate-limited demo of our upcoming model.
We realize how dangerous this technology can be and have built a lot of mitigations on our main product (Play.ht) to reduce possible abuse:
- We strictly moderate the generated text of any sexual, offensive, racist, or threatening content. It automatically gets detected and blocked.

- We built and are offering for free a tool that can identify AI generated vs human-generated audio (https://play.ht/voice-classifier-detect-ai-voices/), we will continue to invest in this tool, and we hope it helps with deploying this technology safely.

- If we get any reports of a cloned voice without consent, we block the user and remove the voice instantly.

- The price of high-fidelity voice cloning is too high for scammers to use at scale; we have been live with it for four months and haven't had any cases of abuse so far.

Like any technology, it has the potential to be abused, and we are working hard to mitigate that and deploy it safely. We will continue to observe the use cases and user feedback and improve the safety of the service accordingly.

Since we launched voice cloning 4 months ago, we have seen enough genuine use cases which motivated us to keep moving forward and figure out safe ways to make the technology useful for all.

Nice to see Apple giving some love to web apps. One feature (bug fix?) that I've been wanting for a long time is the ability to autofill from my password manager in Home Screen web apps on my phone.
