>But at this level, where glacier starts, its already the dreaded temperature they want to avoid, so glaciers should be melting from the bottom with this logic.

Yes, that's generally what happens to glaciers even ignoring climate change. The bottom melts, but is replaced by snow/ice that accumulated on top. Glaciers grow top down, not bottom up. But, if you lower the top so it's warmer, less ice accumulates, which can't replace all that melts, and so you get net shrinking.
>Rattner writes that he thinks virtual commuters have “gone soft” and quotes JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon as stating that the remote option appeals to individuals who don’t want to “hustle” as much as they should.

Honestly, Americans are getting hard. They were soft when they allowed themselves to be pushed around, jobs outsourced, sign 4 year non-competes and non-disparage agreements, and put up with crappy bosses with no cost of living increases, and sexually harassed in the office by their boss.

The marketplace is talking, are you listening? Nope.

Oh and Jamie Dimon, looking for some more bailouts? I guess by hustle you mean begging to CYA.

>Americans’ “work ethic” is lacking, Rattner says, especially in comparison to that of the Chinese, which he describes as “extraordinary.” (Rattner did not respond to a request, passed to him through the Times, to discuss his piece.)

You mean the workers that are practically forced labor? Good one. I'll bet you'd love to go back to the good ole slave days, huh? Maybe corporations shouldn't have given away all their IP to make a buck, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in with the supply chain. Keep up that hustle.

Nope, corporations got worse and worse, paid less and less compared to the cost of living, and people finally had enough. I think that's what's happening. The ones that allow work from home will have a much higher chance of survival than the ones that buy your rhetoric.

I'll bet people will be more willing to go back if they had their own offices instead of the travesty that is "open office." "Better for communication!" Ya right. Do that and maybe you'll get some bites.

Anyway, working at home and loving it.
When I first ran NCSA Mosaic, I dismissed it. It was another 5 years until it started to sink in — this was before google. Other than the hype, what are the latest developments of AI?

* generate digital images from natural language descriptions. ie. DALL-E

* suggest code and entire functions. ie. Copilot

* generate textual content: Generative Pre-trained Transformer. ie. ChatGPT

The future may be in other important endeavors:

* train on ... data and learn how to ... to automate ...

I think that the creativity is in your idea and not in what is being automatically generated.
Having good error messages is one of the important priorities for me in my compiler, so I made the commitment early and am using codespan_reporting[0] to report the errors, which is going well so far.

... what do you mean by "more advanced"? The default/efficient approach with Safari is content blockers (i.e. a precompiled list of url patterns to block in the engine itself), but extensions can also include javascript too.

1Blocker - a well known 'traditional' safari content-blocker - does this for example, to provide ad blocking on sites like YouTube.
The complaint as it directly relates that they (1) knew of patterns of criminal activity (including patterns of terrorist financing) and specific criminal actors on the platform, and (2) took specific steps to actively counsel specific customers involved in illicit activity on steps to evade detection of that activity.

Now, its not “evidence” because a complaint isn’t a submission of evidence. But, taking the complaint at face value, it directly alleges that that is what has been happening, and that it is a consistent pattern (paras. 104-106). Now, this doesn’t go into much detail in this area, because its not a criminal complaint or indictment where this conduct is the central behavior being addressed, but it is very much in the complaint.
I have hand-made tiles in my kitchen in the house I just bought. They are definitely not "calibrated". :(
Data helped build ChatGPT. Where's your payout?
They're not.

We keep a DVD-based Netflix account around for a lot of this stuff, and I've purchased quite a bit of physical media on eBay or at local thrift stores over the years. It's rare to pay more than $5 or $6 for a good DVD of stuff we're looking for, and then into Plex it goes. Most of it can ship Media Mail if I'm not in a hurry.

As far as I'm concerned, streaming services are good for "I want to watch something; I don't care what." They tend largely trash for "I want to watch this specific thing."
What the f are you talking about?
I really enjoyed Andor, perhaps more than the Mandalorian which has far too many callbacks to the original movies.
> allow this application to access all saved passwords

I'd like to see finer granularity, perhaps multiple web password vaults and a mechanism to allow certain browsers to use certain vaults.

It might also be nice to specify which passwords could be accessed with which kind of authentication. Unfortunately the current system password dialog is easily spoofable - it really looks like a questionable javascript popup.
try = ? in rust. catch = match in rust. Zig does have its own general match statement, and the reason it needs a catch is because errors in Zig aren't actually ADT's, but it's not that much more complex.

And you're really going to argue that defer,errdefer is more complex than RAII?
Also can I add that I hate the comparison to self-driving cars. The issue with self-driving cars is the penalty for a mis-step can be huge, even if doing something mundane, e.g., driving home from the neighborhood grocery store.

If crashing a self-driving car required me to spend 5 minutes rejiggering it, I'd probably use the feature a lot. With generative models there's usually very little cost to it making a mistake -- and even better, I can determine when the cost is likely to be high and modify my behavior.

Self-driving cars do seem much better than they used to be. But I have no interest in using them until they get better still. I don't have this same bar with LLMs or DALL-Es. And I think this will contribute to more continuous improvement in the technology.
Surely you have a scale :) And if you have a fancier machine, I'm guessing you have a non-pressurized filter basket as well. At that point you're (I think) only skipping the distributor and the bottomless portafilter.
> Nobody is being protected here

Cracking down on a shadow derivatives exchange doing swaps with American institutions is bona fide CFTC enforcement.

Most securities law is written from an investor-protection perspective. Not swaps clearing. When everyone is writing bilateral swaps and nobody knows how much counterparty risk is accumulating with whom, you get a ticking time bomb. (This is what turned AIG into a systemic risk.) I imagine the next shoe to drop will be these firms' compliance departments.

The person who wants their experience to be better by making other customer have a bad experience is a customer to be avoided. They cannibalize your market.

Not impressed with this attempt at trolling.
Why are russians punished for the sins of their government? Should americans get the same treatment then?
It is a moat to be the first. The question is can you defend that moat.
> Just because you do not like PWAs does not mean there are not amazing uses of PWAs.

Talk is cheap. And yet in all these discussions no one ever says "ho, look, over there in this amazing OS with no restrictions that has 70% of the world's market there are these amazing PWAs, just look at them!"

It's always complaining about some absolutely random API that absolutely must be there on iOS for the PWA to finally happen (even if it exists on that other OS).
"Mass Internet Data" and $35k per month?

Anyone who dealt with government contracts and/or internet knows that those 2 statements don't align in any way. This data has to be extremely, extremely, extremely limited and/or useless.
I'll add those to the list, thanks!
Disagree

I tried to use lambda. Cold startup really is awful. You have to deal with running db migrations in step functions or find other solutions. The aurora serverless also does not scale to zero. Once you get traffic you overload RDS and need to pay for and setup a RDS proxy, and dont get me started on the pointless endeavor of trying to keep your lambdas warm. Sort of defeats the point. Serverless is not actually serverless and ends up costing more for less performance and more complexity

Its way simpler and cheaper to start with a single VPS single point of failure, then over time graduate to running docker compose or a single node k3 cluster on that VPS. And then eventually scale out to more nodes…
Android's webview is updated separately from the OS. Is that a problem in practice?
This is one of the integral features that prevented a lot of places from even creating PWAs. Now that it no longer exists as a problem, PWA adoption will increase and alongside it education. For example, many places are probably going to show a "add to home screen" banner, with related icons to make it easy for people to find where that setting is. Kind of like how many "normal users" in the past would have been scared about downloading a new browser, but now when you download a new browser it shows you the next steps on how to do so (most of us don't even think about these anymore, but they exist and are important).

A next major step is inclusion into the app store, but until then this is a major win for PWA.
As a Technical Lead at Verdant Robotics, you would not only lead the systems software team, but hold a highly visible role to core business goals with full ownership on how to execute towards those goals. You will regularly interface with business operations and the executive team, and will not only lead technically but also manage a small high powered team. You would own a wide range of technical areas - our operating system, drivers, performance, and cross system visibility on our mobile robotics and industrial machines.

This is a role that is not only building the core systems our large farmer customers use daily, but is influencing the direction of the product in a time of explosive consumer demand.

We're looking for someone who's lead technical projects and/or small teams before who is passionate about the agtech/cleantech space and wants the pace of a small (50 person) startup. We're aiming to be cash flow positive by the end of the year and the only ones in our space. Please reach out to celeste.semenov@verdantrobotics.com if you're interested with your resume.
While I understand where the author is coming from, my opinion of Kubernetes (and production deployment in general) isn't that it is hard per se, but that it involves many components.

I liken it to Lego. Each component separately isn't hard to work with, and once you figure out how to connect it to other components, you can do it 100 times easily. And like Lego, a typical Kubernetes environment may consist of several dozen or hundred pieces.

So, I wouldn't describe Kubernetes as hard - I would describe it as large (i.e., comprised of multiple interconnected components). And by being large, there is a fair amount of time and effort necessary to learn it and maintain it, which may make it seem hard. But in the end, it's just Lego.
I resisted using 1Password for a long time but then once I got into the 1P world, it was better than all the alternatives. LastPass is unsafe, Dashlane has subpar experience, and all the proprietary ones are missing tons of features.

Chrome, Firefox, Apple, I'm sure Windows too, have all their own password managers and all of them are hard to use and expect you to only have devices in their ecosystem.

1Password is worth every penny for how well they've kept up with updating their apps and their prevalence on all platforms. And the 2FA integration is great too!
Er, no it doesn't. How much about each of Goldman's investments do you think David M. Solomon knows in depth? They make thousands of deals each year, it would be insane and unsustainable for him to have deep knowledge about each, so he delegates.

If you're talking about fundamental analysis, you'd also be wrong, as my copy of A Random Walk Down Wall Street makes pretty clear. "Know a bunch of stuff about a company" is not a good investment strategy, or at least does not keep pace with well diversified index funds.
It's plenty strong for me. Wouldn't want it any stronger.

IMHO the prospect of an AI winter is 0%. As someone who has done research in ML I think ML technology is moving forward much faster than we anticipated. ChatGPT shouldn’t work based on what we knew. It’s incredible that it works. Makes you think what other things that shouldn’t work we should scale up and see if they would work. And then there are things that we think they should work. Each new paper or result opens the door for many more ideas. And there are massive opportunities in applying what we already have to all industries.

You can absolutely build high precision ML models. Using a transformer LM to sum numbers is dumb because the model makes little assumptions about the data by design, you can modify the architecture to optimize for this type of number manipulation or you can change the problem to generating code for summing values. In fact Google is using RL to optimize matmul implementations. That’s the right way of doing it.
To the best of my knowledge, there's nothing else that's realtime like this for end users?

There are other offline tests like the Harding test that are run by the content creators (and why you see the epilepsy warnings at the start of shows)

FWIW, I'm not sure if this actually would benefit cats. I'm not up to speed on feline perception, but I know dogs see at a different frame rate than humans so things that won't trigger us might trigger them differently
If it seems dire enough lethal military force might be used.

If Russia and China think the US is about to have AI capable of absolute total global domination they may launch a preemptive strike. Maybe hypersonic cruise missiles at datacenters, maybe a full EMP or nuclear launch.

> Sanskrit semantics is intentionally loosely defined

I have studied Sanskrit literature extensively and do not know what this means.

> people have interpreted these mnemonics in different ways

Your implication is that people interpreted these mnemonics differently due to misunderstanding these rules. The mainstream scholarly response is rather some version of प्रयोगशरणा वैयाकरणाः ("grammarians take refuge in usage"), i.e. that different grammarians working in different eras and time periods were forced to reconcile the Ashtadhyayi as a fixed document with the slight divergence in contemporary usage -- that is, that they followed usage and intentionally reinterpreted rules to fit usage.

For an example of how this accounts for Patanjali's readings in particular, see [1].

I've definitely downloaded folders with 100 items before. I think it might have to do with how big the individual files are because g drive won't create a zip that's larger than 2GB.
Yeah. I studied classical guitar for years; this is probably the source of my prejudice, along with the fact that I was raised in a home where people read.
> We already are officially inevitably fucked.

Well.. the second law of the thermodynamics guarantees that.

> The problem is you can't admit that we're officially inevitably fucked in public.

I see several people attempting to start a career off of just that, some of them are quite successful, even. It helps if you add a lot of theocratic and pseudo-religious ideology into your message. People need _something_ to latch on to after all.

> because there's nothing we can realistically do about it.

We are a dynamic species. My proposition is we are currently living through a sort of "modern dark ages." Government imposition and corporate monopolization are at all time highs, to the extent that most new wealth is captured and not used to create new technologies and to progress the species. This is an artificial situation and it is not sustainable.

If you let this cloud your judgement of what is possible you may arrive at this position and feel it is logical. I suggest to you that it is actually a form of insanity or odd religious fervor to actually believe this.

Perhaps, in afterthought, more generously it's a desire to not lose any current level of comfort that you enjoy while "realistically" being able to solve the problem. A solution to this problem will obviously require drastic and hopefully generally positive change, something we've been known to do sporadically many times before.
It's reality.
Yes I know, but there's no in-band way to say "this file conforms to the schema in this other file" like you can with XML or JSON schemas.

For Cue you would probably just want to #include a file... but as far as I know you can't do that.

That makes it far less useful for IDEs, linters and so on.

I don't think there's any reason they couldn't add that feature. Just a bit odd that they haven't already.
Probably half of Americans and some government officials will fail the US citizenship test so not much to expect from the general populace...
Sure I'm all for standardization and cooperation. But this is not that. What parlament in Europe would pass this legislation if it was a motion in the national parlament?

I already have (before GPT 3 or 4) a plug in for Zoom which summarizes zoom calls, makes transcripts, and does all sorts of other things I don't care about (e.g. tries to gauge engagement and sentiment). It's pretty handy.

Of course like everything these days it's a cloud silo: the transcripts, videos etc are in their cloud. There's no way to have them simply posted to slack channels so they can be found later in searches etc.

The economic models and thinking of 2023 are seemingly still stuck in the PC era rather than being focused on the needs of the customer.
> if Binance were to simply say “we now accept US citizens” — the trading cited here would be allowed

No, it wouldn't. Derivatives exchanges and swaps settlement requires licenses, e.g. from the CFTC. Also, the swaps analog for accredited investor is eligible contract participant (ECP) [1].

> If you're building a cluster from scratch, on your own hardware, setting up the control plane yourself etc. it's very very hard.

I'd like to make a distinction:

If you do cluster deployment from scratch, Kubernetes actually gets easier.

Because you get good at it. What it also gets is more time-consuming.

If you aim to replicate all of AWS, then unrealistically so.

The art is knowing when to stop. For a lot of people that's even before Kubernetes.

For others, you can run all your apps in a cluster, except persistent storage.
Did you read the next paragraph?

> When you use our non-API consumer services ChatGPT or DALL-E, we may use the data you provide us to improve our models.
This looks like good performance. We are keeping an open mind with regard to actually-open alternatives.
Any attempted lock-in is guaranteed to attract attention of EU regulators.

This is what Apple probably wants to avoid. They won't be allowed to play a "Safari" this time (i.e. all password managers are allowed, as long as they are a frontend to our own password manager).

Also, having the password manager as a separate app, it is likely they will be asked to provide a standalone password migration API for third party password managers. This would make switching to another ecosystem trivial for moms & pops, who currently need to deal with CSV import & export* if they want to move their passwords out of iCloud.

* Not sure what the situation is ATM, but a few years back exporting passwords from iCloud was not directly supported. I had to run a third-party AppleScript script to generate a CSV to import in another password manager.
This is nice.

It would be nice if apple also addressed PWM and Temporal dithering on the displays of their newer devices.
Quit using these ginormous frameworks and libraries. Vanilla Javascript is all you need.
I give it a 95% chance that an AI winter is coming. Winter in a sense that there won't be any new ways to move forward towards AGI. The current crop of AIs will be very useful but it won't lead to the scary AGI people predict.

Reasons:

1) We are currently mining just about all the internet data that's available. We are heading towards a limit and the AIs aren't getting much better.

2) There's a limit to the processing power that can be used to assemble the LLM's and the more that's used the more it will cost.

3) People will guard their data more and will be less willing to share it.

4) The basic theory that got us to the current AI crop was defined decades ago and no new workable theories have been put forth that will move us closer to an AGI.

It won't be a huge deal since we probably have decades of work to sort out what we have now. We need to figure out its impact on society. Things like how to best use it and how to limit its harm.

Like they say,"interesting times are ahead."
How do you know this person hasn't had plenty of relevant experience? And no hard disagree on aeropress. You can make great espresso at the correct temperature/pressure with non-pro machines. I make a few a week with a Flair Pro 2 and they're very consistent. Like <$700 for lever+grinder+kettle. I also have an aeropress and it's fine but they make different drinks.
Anyone have any technical details on what they did to get this speed up?
I don’t even understand why we call models that predict text output to a question AI.

For sure we will get a lot stuff automated with it in the near future but this is far away from anything real intelligent.

It just doesn’t really understand and or feel things. It’s dead cause it just outputs data based on it’s model.

Intelligence contains a will and chaos.
