I think it goes deeper than that. I think some are exploiting "end time" religious fears in America to get AI taken away and restricted from the public because a public empowered by AI is a threat to the current power structure. This isn't any different than what has already gone on in America, just now with AI

For example, Peter Doocy of Fox made a point of reading outloud at a White House press briefing the words of Eliezer Yudkowsky: "If we don't shut down AI everyone on Earth will die" Evangelicals watch Fox. They were the target. Doocy didn't have to read such dramatic words aloud. He could have said something much more neutral.
It's truly magical. And flags like MAP_LOCKED, MAP_ANONYMOUS, MAP_POPULATE - you can tune it in closer to the behavior you want. That said, if you are concerned about memory consumption, you are ceding control to the kernel. It gets to decide when and whether to evict pages (though you can give hints).
SOMA is deserted. I stopped going because it's not much different from my suburban desert anymore, so why go there. Empty offices, shuttered restaurants, very few people.
If they are getting written up for using accrued vacation days, I presume that is the reason being used for termination.
Congrats :) Question: do websites even have enough information to train on and create useful results?
Yes, you are right. It's not possible to give the entire content in a prompt. A users' site can have a lot of pages and each page can potentially be super long.
Why are you paying taxes on a 1.5m invoice?

Generally in the US individuals are taxed on income when actually received.
That doesn't seem particularly novel. A replication stream by definition announces changes to data, simply listening to it gives the listener the full story.

Through a certain lens, a read replica is just a cache.
GPT4: "Getting "Behringer'd" is a term used in the context of this article to describe a situation where a company copies the design of another company's product, manufactures it at a lower cost, and sells it at a cheaper price. This term is derived from the practices of the audio equipment company Behringer, which is known for producing affordable versions of popular and often expensive audio gear by replicating their designs. In the article, the author suggests that if Prusa Research chooses to keep its electronics closed, it might face competition from others who would create open replacement boards – essentially getting "Behringer'd"."
I managed to finish college without a real VCS. Would it have made some things easier? Sure, but again, add it to the pile of things I needed to learn and did not have enough time to study.
Based on other language in the article (talking about bourgeois character and suggesting the solution is socialization) I don’t think your read is a fair one. Even Marx understood capitalism’s power to lower prices, it’s just that there are other side effects to capitalism that lead to issues.

Also you cannot “help grow an open source hardware community” with closed source hardware.

One great masking effect that doesn't use masking which I love:

If you have a tall-ish avatar with a transparent background, overlay it on a coloured circular div (border-radius: 999px) and set only the bottom corner-radius.

That way it sticks out the top, which looks great and only a few lines of CSS.

Pretty sure Texas is a stand your ground state, and there is no duty to retreat when threatened.
Yep, I'm in the same boat. I reserve my judgement though, since a lot of people are still Windows-first and Microsoft has yet to make a Hail-Mary powergrab for DirectX.
is this a generally agreed-upon fact? I'm not sure I buy it, but I'm interested to see a defense of it.

Looks like the voters dont want to do anything either, if they keep re-electing the same party/politicians.

Same here. I know it hurts to offer a free trial for something that already costs you money to serve (those API calls won't be free), but it's really hard to sign up without trying it first.

That’s how it is in the US for minors (at least in my state), you have to take a 15 minute break every four hours (and work a absolute max of 40 a week). Used to drive me nuts when I had an internship and was in the middle of something.

The chatbot can only be as good as the website content. But this is also a good thing.

This is an opportunity for the chatbot owner to add more relevant content to the website.

They don't have to think about what content to add. They can just see what questions the visitors have about their website and can add/edit their website content based on that.

After adding the improved content, retraining the chatbot with the new content will be as easy as clicking a button.
There’s an entire paragraph midway through the article that explains it well.

A similar sentiment is echoed in the post A reply to Josef Průša by Stargirl Flowers, but this time in regards to Uli Behringer. This despite Behringer engaging in the historically progressive task of cheapening audio hardware by copying other designs and manufaturing and marketing them at scale (putting aside Behringer's litigious behavior). Stargirl calls this competition "parasitic", despite also citing the proliferation of Stratocaster clones and the benefit thereof to musicians.
Hi, I am the author of this article. I honestly have no idea how stable this is. The idea for this post was to match the neosurrealism of the last April Fool's Day post about SQLite: https://tailscale.com/blog/database-for-2022/

When I say that I haven't tested it extensively, I mean that I barely was able to confirm it worked while I was writing the entire article in an anxiety fueled liminal state of consciousness that you can only truly achieve from the surrealist horror of dealing with the immigration system. I'm amazed it works as much as it does. Please don't use this in production. I don't know if it works reliably.

I'm really happy that I can talk about Headscale in a professional sense. It's a project that I've got a few patches lined up for (mainly doing NixOS tests that I am still fighting with CI over) and I hope that they land to make things better for everyone.

Thanks for reading my article. I hope it was enlightening. Or at least something.
And if you have any other global state you want to pass around, you can pull off a clever trick by passing it around as a binary and then unpacking it as needed within caller processes.

AFAIK this trick is why BEAM files use an IFF-derived format (easy to parse individual chunks out at runtime), and why erlang:module_info/{1,2} are the way they are: working with module metadata literally just means asking the code-server process for the (shared refcounted) module binary, and then parsing it yourself.
how do you decide what content on the page to index, and how to split them to fit the context window?

Amazing concept btw - would love to see more examples (like a chatbot for a more well-known site).

I turned down 2 consulting offers because of unlimited PTO. One person I knew who worked at one place said it as impossible to get more than 4 weeks and most people got 3 based on metrics.

Took a boring corporate job with 25 days plus a lot of extra time for sick family, 3 months of paternity leave, and lots more holidays.
" A machine with primary consciousness will probably have to come first."

I got this request from so many users already. So I will be adding a button inside the chatbot which says "Talk with Human", that will trigger Crisp/Intercom or whatever live chat the website owner has configured.

It's already in the plans.

They are one and the same. Chesa Boudine was largely responsible, and ran on the platform, of essentially not enforcing laws on drugs and theft. His parents spent decades in prison for murder as a result of their radical leftists activism with the Weather Underground. SF is basically the poster child for putting radical leftists in charge.
This is really simple to build yourself. Just use SentenanceTransformers in python, pineconeDB, and whatever screen scrape library you line. Chunk your site content before storing in pineconeDB and then search and whatever you get back use as context for the GPT Chat API.
Most of us here are really trying to sort out bugs and data consistency issues.

Yes, I understand. I will give you the same option as the previous person. Please give me a sample webpage, just one web page and I will create a chatbot for that webpage, and post the chatbot link here.

I take off when I want time off.

If it's a set number then usually you need to worry about how many days you have accrued. So you are not able to take 1 day PTO until you've worked for a few weeks. Or you might have trouble scheduling time off early in the year having used most of your allowance around the holidays. Unlimited means the system is flexible.
Better question is how you would define Android.

For me it's mix of Linux kernel and a subset of common FOSS software[0] providing the boot and low-level operations, while the middleware is provided by AOSP with Dalvik/ART and the top, the whole user experience with GUI, apps and whatever. The middle and the top has absolutely nothing common with Linux.

To give you and idea - if you swap the engine in your Ford to Cummins, would you tell everyone what you are driving Cummins? No, you would tell what you are still driving Ford. The same applies to Android, if you swap the Linux kernel to something else, eg to OpenBSD kernel, would you tell what your smartphone is now running on OpenBSD? No, it's still Android, though with OpenBSD kernel.

[0] if you have Linux kernel then it doesn't makes sense to write tooling and userspace from scratch. Like you can, but.. why?
interesting, what are the hardware requirements?

does it happen to run on CPU on a server with 96GB RAM?
I’m just going to weigh in as a bystander by saying that you seem legitimately delusional. Your replies have almost no relevance to the other side of the conversation. If this is something you tend to have issues with, please take this as an indication that you need to do something about it now.
To be fair there are many many great things about Sweden.

It just so happens that wealth mobility is not one of them.
At least at my job it “comes out of my paycheck” and “budget” because my employees bill their time and all my KPIs are based on yadda yadda so yes short sighted managers could see it see it taking from both. Personally I’m not a numbers person and would rather concentrate on having a good team and producing a good product and let the numbers do what they do. I don’t even look at PTO requests and just approve them.
> which is also reasonable if that was the case.

It would have been reasonable if he had performed due diligence and came to that conclusion, but he explicitly chose to waive due diligence, and then tried to renege anyway.
Yes, my target audience are no-coders or anyone who just wants something ready to integrate on their website without handling any infra on their own.

Some of the customers I got are non-technical people. So it was perfect for them.

They get a very good chatbot even if they don't know how to code.

Low interest and money printing to bail out big companies and their CEO buddies. Most of that money printing goes into assets bubbles.
> Essentially it's a machine that can mimic human behaviours more convincingly than humans can.

Isn't this impossible by definition? Nothing can be more convincingly human than humans, or else it would be something else.

Perhaps you mean mimic charismatic or intelligent humans more than most, or the average, human?

> Once you have a machine that can automate and mimic social, political, cultural, and personal interactions, that's it - that's the political singularity.

Do you mean online only? Because I imagine we're still quite a ways from physical machines convincingly mimicking humans IRL.

> And that's true even the machine isn't completely reliable and bug free.

If the machine makes inhuman mistakes the humans will likely notice and adapt.
Huh, in my experience food costs around the same. Maybe fast food is cheaper in NA?

Looking at my bookings in northern Europe and US major cities, they're also roughly the same price, but there's a lot more cheap hostels in Europe if you're willing to go that route.

Southern Europe is cheaper by over 50% though.

Interesting how we could come to basically opposite conclusions given the same data.
In that case wouldn't these companies go remote and keep just a PO box around?
I read it as the original cast moving on, but maybe I'm less bitter :-p
> Sorry for the reductionist take but something about this article irks me. Surely there’s room to complain about the expense of giving in a growing room of takers. In software we have the wonderful AGPL. I can see why Prusa wants something to help grow an open source hardware community without rewarding takers.

Every product now tries to have a cloud component with encryption. People like the article author are why.
I interpreted that to mean the opposite: an inability to leave your planet means you have little resilience to planetary-scale destructive events, and no resilience to planetary destruction. Alternatively, we're less likely to identify or recognize an intelligent civilization on a single planet, as opposed to one across multiple planets or systems.
I just read this as well, excellent and fascinating stuff! I thought I already knew a lot about “deep ocean life” but most of it was brand new to me!
AIs or Super-intelligence wiping out their creators is not a great filter (at least in the context of the fermi paradox), unless you are making the claim that ALL said AI or SI will then shutdown and not attempt to use the rest of the galaxy/universe for resources.
Pretty easy for the 0.1% to avoid owning much domestic land though, unless their wealth comes mainly from real estate or primary resource extraction...

> My point is that these people are directly motivated by capitalist incentives.

NIMBYism is driven by status incentives. Purely capitalist would be to rip down your house and put apartments on it. Even if your neighbours do that, then suddenly your own property value goes up. The price of a square foot of land in NY is high for a reason - density drives up land values (that’s a large part of why developers develop!)

I don’t want apartments next door to me because I don’t want apartments next to me. Nothing to do with some sort of valuation calculation.
> I know Putin argues this way. He tried to use the "democracy" argument even though he is an autocrat

Putin is an autocrat, and that has nothing to do with the fact that the democratically elected government of Ukraine was violently overthrown in 2014. You keep trying to change the subject from that for some strange reason.

There was a democratic election in Ukraine and that duly-elected government was overthrown in a coup/revolution in 2014. Are you trying to dispute that, or just trying to pretend it had nothing to do with the annexation of Crimea the next day?
All 3 of the major parties are pro huge immigration. Any discussion to the contrary is labelled racist regardless of a housing and healthcare crisis.

Businesses underpay and when they can't find people willing to impoverish themselves to work for them, they apply to the government to bring in "temporary foreign workers" - for things like fast food restaurant workers not essential business, keeping the wages down.

Temporary foreign workers and international students in canada are allowed to buy housing, so aside from renting the rich ones who make it here actually buy up properties for their family offshore.

Even if Canadians vote out Trudeau, Poilievre of the conservatives has no interest in slowing down immigration or affecting policies to improve access to housing. The leader of the NDP, Singh, is useless and his party is also very pro immigration and has no housing policies that would affect the market.

What we're seeing is a death spiral of some kind but I'm not sure where the ultimate end goes - no doctors, no housing, low wages compared to housing and food costs, etc. This is textbook conditions for serious blowback and social instability.

When asked why there wasn't anything in this years announced budget to deal with the housing crisis Christina Freedland says that they're still spending money from last year's budget on it. Well how about you see the fruits of your labours and realize it isn't working out well for Canadians, and do something else/more?

If we don't manage to vote trudeau out this time around I'm going to look into immigrating to texas. People joke about that but texas recognizes my professional licensing and all I'd need is a job offer.
> If you're struggling to provide for the locals, then the newcomers will have it even worse

That depends, newcomers will take up job which the local dont want to do. They will accept poor living conditions which locals wont do.
Perhaps a lot of people wouldn't agree and I admit I'm stirring up debate a bit to see what other people think.

To me it seems if we see orbital success in the next 5 yrs, mass production of starship thereafter and SpaceX sticking to their Earth-to-Earth transport idea - this seems plausible. Airliners developed about as quick, but then again its a far harder environment - it's nice to dream.

Now that's weird as PIP in FF always worked fine for me - including swapping between desktops and full screen. In fact I thought PIP in Chrome wasn't as well implemented as took several more clicks to activate.

I think the phrase refers to Behringer, a German audio/synth equipment company that pumped out cheap eurotrack + modular synth components. I'm not a synth person (and forget how I even know about this), so I looked around for a more authoritative recap and found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/onllk0/synthesi...

Didn't know /r/HobbyDrama existed either. What a world!

My hot take is that in the consumer commodity market, Prusa is losing market share to Chinese competitors. Consumers are extremely fickle and price-sensitive. What I think is interesting is that Prusa also has market share among small/medium manufacturing shops - although I have no idea if this segment is growing or shrinking. The strengths behind the Prusa brand (open-source ethos, reliable work horse machines, longevity) make Prusa a clear winner if I need to allocate capital for 20x 3d printers in the ~25cm build volume category.

I see Prusa XL as an important stake in the large-format B2B 3D printer services market, and it makes sense that consumers aren't 100% satisfied with the current developments (large-format 3D printers are historically not oriented for the consumer market). I think it's exceptional that Prusa is applying their open source ethos to large-format 3D printing, which tend to be closed software/hardware ecosystems with a retail price tag of 5-10k USD.
If it were that easy they'd do it.

You make more money with a bunch of nickle and dime taxes. 20% to the feds, 10% to the state. 5% sales, 1% property, a litany of $10-1000 fees for interacting with government, etc, etc than you do with a single big tax that is easy to rally against even if the nickle and dime solution is lossy.
> NATO proved in Yugoslavia that it's not "just a defensive alliance"

Yes, it also stepped in to stop genocide where it could (and waited too long, if you ask me). Even by the highest estimates, the whole 78-day aerial warfare campaign killed less people than several atrocities commited during Yugoslav wars did in a single day, and the campaign brought a lasting peace to the region.

> NATO keeps closing the circle tighter and tighter around Russia.

Yes, that's why until Russia invaded Ukraine, NATO countries in Europe kept cutting military budgets, reducing troop numbers, disbanding units, closing military bases, selling off equipment. All a fiendish plot to encircle Russia!
