Best sentence in the article: "I wasn’t able to reproduce these teething issues myself using the same version of the Gallery app on a regular S22. I tried using the feature on half a dozen photos of babies (and even a screenshot from the updated, less-toothy Sonic trailer) and never saw anything like what this user got. I also wasn’t able to find any other people reporting this type of issue, so it’s impossible to say for sure what’s going on."

I use standalone feed readers; some people use aggregators that have their own web interfaces.

RSS is my primary way of following the web these days (well has been for a couple of decades). If there's no RSS feed I simply don't follow a site; there usually is.
Again, the problem there wouldn't be that the law is banning VPNs, it's having harsh punishment for copyright infringement. That's a perfectly serviceable argument. Don't say they're putting people in jail for using VPNs, that would just be dishonest.

The same applies for the tiktok law. Go out and argue how the government is banning you from using tiktok under threat of prison sentence or whatever. Don't make the unsupported argument that the proposed law is going to punish you for using VPNs for unrelated reasons (eg. torrenting).
In my 10 years, I have yet to find a team/company that operates this way :(
The Microsoft writeup is really something.

> Microsoft has addressed an authorization misconfiguration for multi-tenant applications that use Azure AD, initially discovered by Wiz, and reported to Microsoft, that impacted a small number of our internal applications.

Sure, a small number of internal applications. Just the ones that gave them arbitrary JavaScript execution on every visitor to bing.com and full access to every signed in user's emails and cloud office documents.

I don't know enough to say anything more intelligent about it, but I guess if you are reading through comments on this article you might find it interesting!
Probably? I think that was one of the options iirc (ownership by an American company via a sale), but I don't really know enough about the specifics to have a strong position on the implementation.
> maybe im missing something ...how is that not already illegal?

Why on Earth should visiting, say, a Russian news site, or logging into VKontakte from the United States, using a VPN be illegal?
This was probably more humorous in person, but I do wonder if it's human instinct to ridicule things one doesn't understand. Intuition isn't universal, and what might appear to be straightforward rules in isolation can lead to complex and surprising emergent behaviour when combined.
That's quite a contrast: ChatGPT will confidently bullshit you, while the AI you refer to is upfront about its limits.
The abstract here says 85% of the distance to the moon. I imagine it would be difficult to maintain an orbit at that distance.

Hey, they wrote the same thing last year:

> will take someone nice and incompetent every day of the week over a competent jerk.

Not that simple.

On an easy going project, deadlines far enough, work well defined, people know their parts, yeah you'd like a nice person on the team to have lunch with and share cat videos.

In a project with your ass on the line, real $$$ at stake, you presenting progress to management every week for a visible real promotion path, I'd bet you want a competent person regardless of how foul the language or body odor. Niceness just doesn't matter.

the $hit gets real when you find out, said competent person is just an imposter.

But there is a sweet spot though, keep the competence high, and turn the niceness knob high and low as convenient. At work, being nice is just an act after all. People can and will see through the act, but they themselves are guilty too, you're not offending anyone

I made a post a couple weeks ago about my journey, which resulted in some really great and encouraging responses, so I'd like to thank everyone for that. I was told to check out the job board on Y Combinator, but I have a concern.

The site allows you to upload your resume, which is then parsed and some details are extracted. As someone without a traditional education and well defined career trajectory, this profile doesn't really tell a great story. I wouldn't give myself an interview based on it. I've put countless hours into portfolios, projects, and building a resume that makes it look like i might possibly be an asset, but I feel like i'm just reduced a list of jobs, and some self proclaimed skill levels in various technologies, which I typically undersell.

Am I overthinking this, or is this particular job site just meant for a different kind of person with a different kind of background?

I don't mean any sort of disrespect to this site with this question. I just want to make sure that I'm doing things correctly and that I'm not just spinning my wheels or embarrassing myself.

Holy shit Dvorak wrote something sensible and worth reading!
The government could literally take any power at any moment for any reason at any time that they wanted to.

The same thing prevents this bill from being used to ban VPNs as the passage of a brand new law that specifically outlaws VPNs.

You can't just take a wild elaboration as gospel because it could technically happen.
Living in California, I can tell I you it most certainly is and has been for a while.

Maybe the news paints it as a bunch of cowboys trying to restrict abortions. But look at California, Oregon, Washington, New York, etc laws. They have become so liberal that it has become a meme.
Drugs are almost completely decriminalized, you can buy/sell and consume drugs openly on the street, police will not investigate property crimes under $1000 at all anymore, eviction is almost completely impossible even if the tenant hasn’t paid rent in a year.
California is about to spend 800 BILLION dollars giving money to black people even though slavery never existed there.

It’s legitimately a struggle to think up ways coastal cities in the US could be more liberal.

> And when I read the last line, I burst into tears. So does that make ChatGPT a soulful poet of rare ability? No. I’ve thought a lot about this and here’s what I think is going on: I was primed for an emotional response (…) and ChatGPT used the language and methods of thousands of years of writing

But that’s what’s humans do, don’t they? I’m not a poet, but if I wanted to become one, I can hardly think of way that wouldn’t involve reading a lot of stuff written by others.
Who is "we"? There are thousands of nuanced opinions on what AGI is and what it should be.

So someone wrote a letter. That doesn't mean anything. It doesn't even mean that the average opinion has substantially changed.

There is no consensus on anything here. Beware of so-called "experts" on this subject. There are no "AGI experts". There are AI experts, but speculation by humans on what a hypothetical superhuman intelligence might be like will never be more than, well, speculation. It's like ants trying to wrap their minds around what they imagine human philosophy to be.

Your opinion on AGI is as good as mine, or as Elon Musk's, or as Eliezer Yudkowsky's. Nobody knows anything. Get comfortable with uncertainty, and don't jump to the conclusion that anything has happened just because somebody somewhere said something.
Regarding 3), check out the fact that OpenAI, DeepMind, and other top labs have AI safety programs and people working on AI Alignment. Interviews by Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, and others confirm their concerns.

Here’s an article by Prof Russell, AAAI Fellow and a co-author of the standard AI text: https://www.technologyreview.com/2016/11/02/156285/yes-we-ar...

Regarding 1) and 2), we might as well not succeed. But would you propose that we sit still and do nothing if many experts say that there is even a 20% chance that a superhuman alien species will arrive on earth in 5-25 years and we do not know about their intentions?

A survey of AI experts well before GPT-4 shows that nearly half of them have such concerns (with varying timelines and probabilities).

By the way, calling a proposal by Prof Stuart Russell and several other top AI experts “dumb” should require a much stronger argument and level of evidence than you have shown.
> The library was already using numpy for a lot of its calculations, so why should we expect Rust to be better?

I literally clicked in to read the article to see if they'd mention this:) But... unless I missed it, there wasn't really an answer? I thought numpy does do the heavy lifting in native code, so why is this faster? Does this version just push more of the logic into native code than numpy did?
There are also lots of people who wouldn't.
If a company has a particular shareholder with 51% of the stock (or votes) then one might be able to argue no one else has any real control over them.

If everyone owns <10% then that’s a different story. Tencent can’t control the board alone, but they certain have some latent control.

If a vote splits at 49% in favor and 49% against, the 2% shareholder has all the control.

It's a good book and the questions that lie between Everett and Chomsky are deep and still contentious.

I was born in the early 1960s and spent much of my childhood in areas around the Wallace Line in and out of Australia with a family running logistic support for Western scientists ( US, French, British, Dutch, et al ) all wanting a piece of the last remnants of the Noble Savage (heavy ironic quotes about an over abused notion of yore) .. I played a lot with kids my age that spoke what are now very nearly dead languages.

People are people in some deep universal sense, at the same time people with very different cultures and languages can and do think and see the world in very different ways.

The greatest difference that's perhaps most relevant today is that people who live directly from the land have a much better eye for the health and wellbeing of that land and a deeper sense of stewardship for the benefit of all and those to come.

It's interesting to see the "leaked" screenshot of Windows 12:

https://www.techradar.com/news/leaked-screenshot-could-be-an...

If it's real, it looks similar to iPadOS. Even with the less than successful endeavors of WinRT and Windows Phone (Phone was actually pretty cool), I feel Microsoft has never truly lost their desire to converge on a single desktop environment for desktop and mobile.

We see this at Apple too though - there's a lot of dismay over macOS converging with iOS and iPadOS in recent releases. What are the key reasons for it? More unified codebase? Just to make everything look the same?

I will always see desktops and mobile as separate tools that should have separate UIs, so these kinds of changes bum me out.

Here’s some unsolicited career advice.

First of all, your feelings are completely valid. It’s perfectly reasonable you feel the way you do.

But, those aren’t feelings you need to express outwards or let other people know you have. Think very carefully about what you want to say, say exactly that, and keep your mouth shut for everything else.

Silently hate everyone in your heart - you’re not a bad person for this. But if you open your mouth about (and what do even gain from that?) then you risk flushing your career down the toilet when you run into the wrong executive
