Oh nice, it wasn't clear from the test suite if that was the case, I'll give it a closer look.

Judging from the python scripts, it seems to expect a whole binutils toolchain (so not just compiler but also objdump, readelf...) and that would be a blocker for me.
With the number of people being accused of being commies, it's beginning to feel like the "good old days" of the John Birch society.
The speed is far more important than immediately obvious. To be able to iterate on the scale of minutes and hours and not hours and days is a game-changer. Imagine how productive a programmer would be if their compiler used to take 1.5 hours every time they saved something and it now took 10 minutes.
Pretty sure Zuckerberg loves this. He probably spent a lot of $$$ lobbying for this.
To be fair, China's bans on Google et al. make this somewhat retaliatory, not purely anticompetitive.

Yes, but any local area algorithm benefits from segmentation because it automatically becomes "smarter". Upscaling is the most obvious one - the upscaled version of a blue object on a red background is not the average of the two colors - but it applies all over the place.

I don't know of any implementations of this, but an interesting one would be auto white balance. It's typically done as a global slider, but if the image has multiple light sources this doesn't always look good.

And actual straight-up "knowing what's in the scene" AI can help too; people shouldn't look sickly in your photos just because they're under a low-CRI yellow light. You probably want to know what color skin tones actually are.

I’ve read the bill’s text and I’m struggling to see how they’re figuring this.
I am the maintainer of a very large scale multi-threaded C++ application used by large airline/airport/rail companies around the world. I haven’t had a bug in production for 5+ years. Not one. And I routinely refactor/improve large parts of the code with zero problems.

The “secret” obviously is 9000+ system level tests.

And I will claim that you need that number of tests. Even if the application was written in (say) Rust. Rust won’t save you from subtle daylight savings errors, country specific governmental requirements, weird special case organisational policy rules etc. Only an executable spec (tests) will do that.
Tump was trying to build wall to prevent immigration. Drugs do not come from immigrants but from cartels through different means. Trump's idea has never been about stopping all commercial exchange at the border nor dismantling every single vehicle crossing the border in search of pills.

Additionnally, if cartels can't smuggle drugs through the border, they'll build fentanyl shops inside the USA.

Agreed. One good thread on /lit/ (in a sea of garbage, true) is worth more than months of any literature discussion on say, Twitter or Reddit. I understand not everyone want to sort through the trash but I don't mind.
>Sorry to hear people in other countries are being influenced in that way.

What is even funnier is, people here who actually think American suburbs are good wouldn't even last 3 days living there. They would either get hit by a car while trying to walk, starve to death because they don't own a car to go buy groceries or die of boredom.

It sounds like I'm exaggerating, but hear me out. Turkish people have the tendency to create dense living areas. Cities are very dense. Even in villages, 4-5 story apartments are common. Suburbs are mostly apartments, too. Single family houses are very rare in cities. 70% of the people live in apartments[0]. We like to be close to other people due to culture and the feeling of safety. We even have proverbs like "don't buy a house, buy a neighbor" signifying the importance of neighborhood. Many neighbors have eachother's keys in case of emergency. This creates a lifestyle where you have to interact with many people ever since you are born. Imagine being used to that lifestyle, but living in the American suburbs.

> You think Americans dealing with bills need drugs more than subsistence farmers in Bangladesh?

well it sure seems that way, don't it?

perhaps the issue is because Americans spend their time alone staring at screens, getting mad about politics and depressed while the Bangladeshi are toiling outside in well integrated communities...

or maybe it's just a supply issue. Then again, wouldn't alcohol and Afghan opium be relatively easy to acquire in Bangladesh?

It's nothing remotely similar to modern Russia, it's more similar to Stalinist USSR, where reading the wrong foreign thing was punishable with imprisonment.

This bill criminalizes access to censured foreign media.

> So no, nothing remotely similar to what you have in Russia.

Correct, it's worse. As of 2023, I don't believe people go to prison, (or get disappeared, shoved out of windows, or end up with terminal cases of polonium poisoning) for reading in Russia.
> Joseph Cox from Vice has been paid to be critical of the act

Astroturfing isn’t the right term. Group think seems more appropriate. Cox is writing what will get clicks. (Note that zero lawyers are quoted.) This happens on both sides in any political debate, and of course vested interests, including foreign interests, will throw gasoline on the process. (The EFF and ACLU’s have more merit.)
Sounds great! Which app are you using for this?
Just too drive home this point a little deeper. I personally know 2 people who died last year from fentanyl poisoning. One of them thought they were taking MDMA, the other thought they were taking Xanax. Both are terrible, needless deaths but the one who was taking Xanax had actually been prescribed Xanax previously for GAD, but was having trouble getting/affording a doctor to prescribe it to them.

> What would be your benefit of discrediting him for which argument?

He is asking the government to nuke people under certain scenarios. I'm taking his words seriously and ask for original research to understand the point, and now that is discrediting him? And I will quote the statement in the article so that it is clear I am not exaggerating

> preventing AI extinction scenarios is considered a priority above preventing a full nuclear exchange, and that allied nuclear countries are willing to run some risk of nuclear exchange if that’s what it takes to reduce the risk of large AI training runs.

My benefit is that I'm living on Earth and I'd much prefer for no nuke to ever be used again.

While I’m sure the protectionist aspect was appealing to some legislators and industry players, there really are security concerns with building a country’s communications infrastructure out of components made by a not-very-friendly rival who’s sure to use it for spying in peace times and who knows what in hostile times.

The US should know :)
This was a silly and unnecessary optimization. He’s just using numpy wrong.

Instead of:

for p in ps:
norm(p.center - point)

You should do:

centers = np.array([p.center for p in ps])
norm(centers - point, axis=1)

The correct way to position a ban on TikTok is by comparison with China's ban on USA websites.

Something along the lines of "unless China gives reciprocal access to all the banned websites listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_websites_blocked_in_ma... then we cannot permit China to have access to US web audiences".

It is unequal and unfair and anticompetitive for China to ban hundreds of US based websites and it simply cannot stand for China to have unfettered access to the US web audience.

These are some of the websites banned in China:

Google Facebook Twitte Instagram YouTube WhatsApp Dropbox The New York TimesThe Washington Post Bloomberg News ReutersThe Wall Street Journal BBC Wikipedia (English version) Twitch Vimeo SoundCloud WordPress.com Tumblr Flickr Medium The Guardian Le Monde Deutsche Welle Radio Free Asia Voice of America GitHub Slack Zoom LinkedIn Snapchat Pinterest Quora Netflix Hulu HBO Disney+ ESPN Microsoft Azure Apple iCloud Steam Reddit Imgur Dailymotion Archive.org Amnesty International Human Rights Watch Reporters Without Borders

Perhaps there is no need to build Skynet and give it the nuclear codes if a super-intelligence iterating at the speed of a computer can escape and gain access itself?

I personally don't subcribe to the AI fear-mongering, perhaps I don't understand it quite well enough, but personal feeling is LLMs aren't close to AGI super-intelligence, and nor will they be in a 10 years time-frame.
No they don't get passed all the time. Less than 5% and only after a long debate, many changes and amendments. This one in particular has no chance of becoming law the way is redacted, not even chance of reaching the Senate.

W/GPT4 for me it suggests Rome->Genoa, stay, then Genoa-> either Nice or Marseille, and then on to Montpellier.

GPT3.5 suggested a list of Florence, Nice, Genoa and Marseille. When I asked it for a breakdown of the travel times, it got them pretty close ("Can you give me rough travel times for each of these options?") given the large variations in travel time depending on specific timing and transfers for several of these.

When I then asked it for somewhere closer to the midway point, it didn't come through (it suggested Pisa, which is about as bad as Florence), Turin, which is an alternative to Genoa, but doesn't fix the imbalance, or Lyon which is about as bad as the Pisa option but in the opposite direction (fast train to Montpellier), but the options also aren't in aggregate much worse.

The problem here is that there aren't as far as I can tell any very balanced options. You can try to do e.g. Ventimiglia or Sanremo (which GPT4 gave when I pressed it on splitting it more evenly), which will give you a more evenly distributed travel time, but because the overall travel time will be longer they're not at all obvious options.

You also seems to focus on catching it out rather than getting a result. If you want precision from the first query, then you need to give far more precise questions.

You need to treat it as a conversation, not a brief to be answered with a report. If you insist on treating it as a brief you will not get good results out of it. Your loss, in that case.

For cases where a simple lookup will work, it's a waste. Just use Google. For cases where there is in fact not a single perfect option, and where you need to weigh pro and con, it works well with the caveat that you do indeed need to be careful and check specifics. The same way I'd check specifics if I had a conversation about this with a friend.

With plugins, so it can verify precise details we can expect a significant leap in capability here.

But even for now, the answers I got to this were ones I was happy with, and another reason for me to use it more.

Parts of our job that require skill and parts of our job that require time are not the same.

"understand the super ambiguous requirement demanded by the customer, translate it into something meaningful to implement, anticipate what the customer actually wants (or will need in the future) and make sure the implementation meets that nuanced complexity" takes skill, but that is NOT what takes up most of the workday, implementation does - and if a tool saves some meaningful time on the implementation part, then the same project can be done in the same time with less people, i.e. replacing some jobs.
No it's not.

I'm never an user of ByteDance/TikTok, but somehow this makes me sad for TikTok.

If you don't know, many Chinese companies sees the "overseas market" (mainly US and EU) as a backup plan. If something went wrong in China (say the Jack Ma situation during the past few years, and many other unsound ones), the leadership of those companies can just pop to another country and then party cannot reach for them, which is what ByteDance CEO did.

Now, without this market option, these companies can only dig in in China now, probably their eventually their own graves too, but business is better than no business, and overall China treat them more fairly this time. Even Jack Ma has returned to China just few days ago, he probably smelled something.

You might think, "wow, good plan, hurts China very well". Well... you hasn't seen what it would be like when a Chinese company gone full-loyal towards the party. The party is probably writing love letters to who proposed the act. A win-win for the party and the US, I'd totally say.

The new Wordpress UI is very Medium-like now. I hated it at first, but that's only because I was so used to adding HTML to my posts, which is hidden in the new UI. It's aimed at non-technical writers, and is actually very intuitive.

Pick a simple theme, add one category, and start writing.

I's suggest using Wordpress.com and paying for it. Maintaining and upgrading your own Wordpress.org blog is a pain. No matter how careful you are it's almost a certainty that some malware will find a way in eventually. For a hassle free life, just pay Wordpress.com to manage it for you.
It also matters if you write code to run once or to serve in production, if it is experimental or stable.

If my script takes 3s to run and 5m to write in Python, vs 0.1s to run and 3h to write in C, I finish first with Python. I can try more ideas with Python.
Well the key word is “Baddies” we need to stop looking at drug addicts as “bad” but merely sick.

This sounded interesting enough that I went and found the source code on GitHub: https://github.com/Arnavion/evalr. Starred. :-)

The following caught my attention in the bash wrapper:

coproc GAWK {
gawk ...
}

<&"${GAWK[0]}" openssl s_client -connect "$IRC_SERVER" -quiet >&"${GAWK[1]}"

This is a cool way to make awk talk over a socket that isn't specific to Gawk. For sockets without TLS you can replace openssl(1) with nc(1). I'll keep it in mind.

Edit: You can also use http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/ and https://nmap.org/ncat/ with awk:

socat "OPENSSL:$host:$port" 'EXEC:awk ...'

socat "TCP:$host:$port" 'EXEC:awk ...'

ncat --exec '/usr/bin/awk ...' --ssl "$host:$port"

ncat -e '/usr/bin/awk ...' "$host:$port"

Further than that, many decisions are probably in practice made by minor stockholders as big pension funds, bank run index funds, etc have neither the will nor expertise to get their hands dirty.

This is why corporate raiders can gut companies by buying into them, replacing boards and/or force them to huge divestments, loans and finally dividends, and then when finished leave a husk of the company back to index and pension funds that just buys mindlessly to retain their index balance (even if the company has no real long term future).
The real reason there’s such a public outcry about Fentanyl, I’m willing to bet, is that it’s not American corporations making money off it. Nowhere else in the world that I can see is having a problem with it, and there was nowhere near the same level of concern about oxy
