Jesus christ. What about a random person who doesn't have the tech know-how to do that? Should they just give up on privacy? Privacy is a human right, not a technologically-advanced-person right.

And before anyone says "Well, sucks to not know basic tech stuff", consider the fact that in a world where no-one has privacy, the person using Facebook from a VM is eminently more trackable than in a world where privacy is enforced globally.

Those are only a few metrics. Li-ion is not fantastic in (a) charging cycles and battery depletion or (b) fire safety.

It also depends a lot on use case; for example, for home electricity storage (like a PowerWall) I would gladly give up energy density for safety. If there's some battery tech that can handle 50000 charge cycles and completely non-flammable but weighs 100 tons and has 10% of the energy density of Lithium, I'd gladly make that trade. Maybe build part of the building out of it.
I agree it is pretty nice, a minor nic I have with it is that sleep time counts toward the 'hours played' in the steam profile.
Generative AI differs from things like the printing press or internet in that AI has the potential for agency or agent-like capabilities. Without a human, a printing press does nothing. However, it’s easy to imagine an AI being able to act on its own, potentially intervening in real-world systems. So it’s a straw man argument in my opinion to compare AI to prior technologies lacking agency.

While the basic technique is sound, SQL recursive queries' no-side-effects character means a huge number of basic graph traversal strategies (e.g.: pruning, shortest path first/Dijkstra) are beyond reasonable engineering.

In addition to that, Postgres is difficult as a computational platform - the execution strategy for recursive queries is not necessarily intuitive, and their performance is hard to assess (for example: how soon will you run out of "stack"?)

> Firefox has evolved from a faithful and efficient render of web pages on PCs to a cross-platform agent that acts on behalf of the individual, protecting them from bad actors and surveillance capitalists as they navigate the web.

I mean, ok. It's a browser that has sensible privacy defaults.

> Mozilla has introduced new products, such as Firefox Relay and Mozilla VPN, to keep people’s identity protected and activity private as they use the internet.

The free version is provided by Cloudflare, and the paid version is provided by Mullvad. I assume the clients are custom, though. But these have always felt like rebrandings or partnerships to me.

> Mozilla is contributing to healthy public discourse, with Pocket enabling discovery of amazing content and the mozilla.social Mastodon instance supporting decentralized, community-driven social media.

I'm sure there are faithful lovers of Pocket out there somewhere. But for me, it's the first thing I remove after I install Firefox. The way Mozilla talks about Pocket, there must be some PM at Mozilla who simply cannot let get of this pet project of theirs. You'd think it was a huge differentiator/killer app, the way they talk about it, but it's really just a widget that rudely reappears after major version updates, even if you've dismissed it before.

Never used the mastadon instance, but I'll bet it's very nice.

> As AI emerges as a core building block for the future of computing, we’ll turn our attention in that direction and ask: How can we make products and technologies like machine learning work in the public interest?

Using the built-in PostGIS topology tools? Or something more custom? I'm curious as I just started digging into and using PostGIS for a land parcel use case. I've wondered about the graph structure of parcels adjacent to others, rather than just a big unordered table of geom objects.
The main issue I see is Single Sign-On being gated behind enterprise pricing, and a "please contact our sales team" option no less. Big enterprises can happily pay whatever you ask for SSO, but this mainly hurts the medium-sized businesses that only set up SSO if it's convenient; if it costs a lot more, they'll settle for the reduced security of username+password auth. If anything, supporting the big 3 identity providers (Google, M365, and Okta) on the Pro plan would be better than charging to have any form of SAML/SSO. https://sso.tax/

I admit I don't know a lot about these systems, but aren't they trying to solve a different problem? Aren't they trying to solve visibility?

Once you know a vulnerability exists in a particular version of a particular piece of software, you need a way to go from there, through dependencies, to builds, and then to deployments. You can't push fixes to all the right places without knowing what those places are.

In other words, you need to correctly and completely answer questions like, "Oh, CVE-YYYY-NNNNN was just announced. What's the list of every binary on every machine of every platform we have in every environment (production, corporate network, employee cell phones) that needs a fix?"

You can do it manually, but that's basically asking for failure because you'll miss things. Also it's tedious.
Funny but I have to say that satire has lost a lot of its appeal in these times. It is far too apparent how vulnerable we are to people who don't get it and who will walk away happily unaware and, in this example, MORE confident about using AI for just anything.

I've been thinking the same. So far I studied a lot of the theory, and got familiar with using some of the most popular models. I'm thinking building a few toy models will be the next step, and then maybe solving some specific problem as a demo. I've also done some interviews and got crushed but it lets me gauge what else I need. What I'm wondering is how much is needed to just be an engineer implementing the theory as oppose to a scientist researching the methods.

The SVB fiasco feels like a misapplication of game theory by prominent agents stoking an unnecessary bank run based on the magnitude of the uninsured deposits.

I’m attaching a call report from FFIEC on JP Morgan chase. You can see in the document JPM has over 1T in uninsured deposits. No bank run despite of JPM also holding paper losses in the portfolio.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xahdu1092n5axfg/Call_Cert628_12312...

Search for the phrase “uninsured”.

The interesting aspect of the drama is that when the venture fund incurs a paper loss the same way as the bank does, it goes to extreme lengths to avoid marking it down for as long as possible.

You're attempting to leverage the ambiguity in the word "censorship". Don't want to play.

The sort of authoritarian instincts I was thinking of involve things more like: incarceration camps for people with national origins in the wrong place, immigration policies denying entry to people from the wrong place, ignoring Constitutional separation between church & state to allow "just a little" theocratic bleed-through (imagine if the "church" in question was a mosque), using the army for law enforcement, outlawing more strikes by "critical workers", seeking to restrain the behavior of corporate persons (previously established as subject to the first amendment by SCOTUS) ... and we could go on. Basically, "fascism light" - nothing too horrible, just round one of Pastor Niemoller's famous anecdote.

Firefox market share peaked in 2010 from what I can see here https://www.infoworld.com/article/3675628/mozilla-is-looking....

I think the primary factor was simply that Google switched from promoting Firefox to promoting Chrome after its release in late 2008, so once any inertia in the public mind wore off, they couldn't keep up. The decline in IE continued, but it started going to a different place.

The other dominant thing in that time frame was the rise of mobile. Mozilla didn't control a mobile platform, so they were second place out of the gate on Android in a way they never were on Windows where both Chrome and Firefox had to be downloaded manually. They also didn't have a well-developed account ecosystem, so as syncing between desktop and mobile browsers became a thing, that was another nail.

The trend line seems pretty unchanged since then.
The Groupon business model reminds me of timeshares (covered well by John Oliver recently). You supposedly get a good deal on something you can use in the future, and then it is made as difficult as possible, in my experience, to actually use it.

Of note: those losses are actually coming down as we speak.

With the Fed now expected by the bond market to pause rate hikes and start cutting rates soon, long term bond yields (as well as shorter term ones) have been coming down, increasing the value of those holdings.

Indeed, the more expert the more one can get out of these LLMs. Curation of the content and questions is critical so the better one is at that, the more useful this kind of quasi-expert system is.
I think you're missing the point. It's not helpful to demand constant attention to a bad thing that is eventually coming if you are always extremely wrong about the timescale, and it is in fact much further off than you have said. The mere point that something bad will eventually happen is trivial and doesn't help civilization prioritize.

"X is technically still coming" protects the credibility of the end-of-X preacher, instead of engaging with the more important point that the end-of-X preacher has been hopelessly wrong to the point that it's no longer helpful to listen to them.

Because the sharing approach is video-based, it can stream any kind of content, no matter if text or moving images. That being said, it takes some resources to shovel 4k images with a lot of changes from A to B so it needs some free capacity to run smoothly.
IMO "artificial" intelligence is natural intelligence. Both human brains and silicon brains are formed from stars and are "the universe's way of understanding itself."

AI maps closely to myths of all-knowing all-powerful "Dragons", aspects of nature that destroy and create without regard to human plans. Living with AI will likely be similar to living on a volcano island.

Since human domination over nature has only ever increased, a reversal where humans are subservient to a higher capricious force feels threatening.

The funny thing is... living under the dominion of a "higher force" that creates and destroys yet always does what is "right" b/c it is the Source of Everything (even if it feels unfair and tragic) is what religion deals with.

I've also got an anecdote about Audible that will make me quite literally never subscribe to the service, even if it somehow becomes the only game in town.

Was in the Amazon bookstore in UVillage (Seattle) 4-5 years ago, and overheard one of the sales reps at the counter checking customers out signing then up for Audible subscriptions. As every customer walked through the checker's line, they casually mentioned the customer's purchase qualified for 3 free months of audible and said they'd get that activated with their purchase.

It was VERY CLEAR most customers weren't paying attention at all and this checker was printing new subscriptions that I'm willing to bet most customers wouldn't ever notice on their monthly credit card statements. I sat there for maybe 10-15 minutes listening and in that time span it was at least 10+ customers that got signed up.

And while I'd like to blame this individual checker, I'm 100% sure this sales tactic was coming from a manager that was almost certainly coming from Amazon corporate.

Disgusting thinking about how many people ended up subscribed to a monthly service they had virtually no understanding of.
Am I the only one who categorically refuses to click on articles named like that?
> Forcing everyone to use fixed transport locks their job prospects and keeps them dependent on corporations and government entities.

1. "Fixed transport" can be faster and more convenient to get to places than Individual transport. Subways in Vienna go on a 2-minute cadence and you can reach the entire city quickly and conveniently. Compare that to the hellscape that is "individual travel" in LA, where you're always going to be stuck in traffic and not getting anywhere fast. It's isolating to the point where people from different neighborhoods don't hang out with each other because the transport is so inefficient.

My tiny village of 800 people in the east of Austria has trains to both my countries and to two other countries' capitals every half hour.

Public transport doesn't need to be shitty. It's just held back by backwards thinking in the US.

2. Cars keep you even more dependent on corporations and government entities.

The roads you're driving on? Government.
The gas you're buying? Some of the biggest and most evil corporations in the world.
The car itself? Big corporations.
Why would they? Proton is an adapter that allows Windows games to run on Linux so the Deck's popularity is simply cementing Windows' APIs as the preferred API for games development and burying the hope of Linux-first games development in its grave forever. Proton will forever be playing catch-up to DirectX as it iterates, meaning the most current gaming experience will always be on Xbox / Windows as well.

Aside from that, what would you even suggest Microsoft do? Building their own portable game console would be suicidal, with Nintendo firmly entrenched with a large stable of games on one side and Valve's Steam and their monopoly on Windows games distribution on the other, which even Epic flushing billions of dollars down the drain hasn't been able to dent. Even Sony bowed out of the handheld console market and they were in a much better position to compete.
