If your strategy to stop murder is hope - that's a bad strategy.

If your strategy to stop corporate greed is to say companies are bad and hope they get better - that's a bad strategy.

You need to do something about it beside complain companies are greedy and hope they stop being greedy. That's never going to happen.

A key piece of evidence is around whether Frank had 4.25 million users or 300k. Javice (Frank's CEO) alleges JPMorgan Chase (JPMC) is misrepresenting what she provided, saying she merely anonymized the data by making it "synthetic" to a third party for verification to avoid sending PII to JPMC before the deal closed.

Here's the problem though: it (allegedly) wasn't anonymized data - it was fake data, and later when JPMC asked for the real data after the company was bought, Javice bought data for ~4 million students from a third party vendor for ~$100k, combined the data to build the "final database," and JPMC very quickly realized that most of the data was no good.

My dad is 4 years younger than his age on paper. He had no birth certificate when he was born and when he was finally being put in school, being home schooled so far, was able to answer questions like a 3rd grader. So the school decided to put him in 4th grade and just made up his birth year (dad's family knew the date but that would make him ineligible for 4th grade).
I still see plenty of remote jobs to apply for on LinkedIn, but I have noticed that there are a lot more applicants now. A few months back it would often be single digit numbers of applicants. Now it will often be well into the double digits of applicants.

Thankfully that opinion represent a minority here in Sweden nowadays. Good riddance.

The opinion on NATO vs "neutrality" after the Ukraine invasion was, to borrow a phrase from another comment in this thread, a mask off event.

Also: If NATO can't ratify Sweden we need to look at other ways to develop a nuclear deterrence strategy.
I’m pretty appalled by some of the comments here. If someone scams people it doesn’t matter how complex the scam was or how stupid the victim was. It is a crime. We aren’t talking about robbing a convenience store here. 40 billion dollars - people’s life savings were completely put up in flames in the name of “innovation”. This is out of control. The reason these sentences need to happen is because retail investors need to be properly informed of the risks, and if leaders of crypto companies continue to say it’s stable and safe they should be prosecuted when it turns out not to be the case.

Given that a `gat` has both an input-side and an output-side, I think it resembles `cat` reasonably well. I'd expect some kind of buffering difference so that the output is "faster" than the input in some way.
I think a display might consume much more power than a speak, these look like they could, if they aren't already, powered with batteries, while a display could also be powered with batteries it wouldn't last nearly as long, not to mention that you can hear this even if you're not looking at it.
"one source" is a misrepresentation. Coal is burned in many regions of the planet. But each of these regions has different structural characteristics. It is not possible to solve one big "coal problem", because it is actually many individual energy supply problems that need to be solved.
How do you track legacy code in your company?
At the company where I work, we're planning to rewrite one old system from using a dead framework to newer technology.

What's the best way to track progress on a task like this? Just simple Jira tickets? Or would you use some other metrics?

How do you usually tackle migration from one technology to other (from management perspective)?

I'm sorry, but that statement is not accurate. Oxygen is an element that exists naturally in the universe, and it was not invented or created by humans or any other living organism. However, it is true that oxygen has played a crucial role in the evolution of life on Earth. Photosynthesis, a process by which plants and other photosynthetic organisms produce oxygen, has had a profound impact on the composition of Earth's atmosphere and the development of complex life forms.
The idea isn't to get perfection out of the box, and no warranties...

Essentially the functionality is: Input a collection of docs to become a 'library', think of it like a 'bookmarks folder' too, as there'll even be a chrome extension to literally do just that send pages/clippings into specific libraries.

The collection becomes the basis for multiple agents. Every x characters the chat is dumped into a short term memory vector store, or something (still working the details on this), which will be essentially a queue for adding to the full vector/long-term memory.

The above use cases were from feedback I've gotten, another interesting use case is someone to be an ADHD work buddy, essentially audio or audio+video avatar that makes noises a few times a day, maybe asks you questions about work from time to time, and if you get stuck could answer questions, if you're asking things off-topic, non-work related (my wife calls this being squirreled), it'll say : "let's chat about that later" then at the end of the day it could give you a summary of your 'squirrel' moments, and if you really want to follow up on them you can or you can move on.

I don't think that's necessary. ChatGPT is just the current hotness and gets lots of submissions. Before LLMs, it was cryptocurrency. After LLMs, it will be something else.

If we made a new tab for every topic that becomes hot for a while, there would be too many tabs for that to be useful.

Just ignore the topics that don't interest you and wait. The overabundance of submissions on these topics will pass, and be replaced by whatever tomorrow's New Hotness is.
I'm afraid it's not the only explanation (economy), but it's still a very good reason. Looking at myself, I've been working remotely for the last 7 years and there is just no way back, even if another company would pay me 2x or 3x more. Remote working is a massive perk and thanks (due) to Covid, a lot of people became aware of this.

A similar thing occurs with 64-bit processors nowadays at the silicon level: they have 64-bit virtual address space but only 48 or so bits are used for physical RAM access. Not exactly a 8086 situation but still an interesting observation.

No, it's a pretty well-defined concept when you stick to its technical definition as an aid in interpreting terms of a perturbation series as Feynman diagrams.

> these other excitations do have real observable effects

Yeah, that's the major thing: virtual particles explain observable effects in a sort-of intuitive way.

But you could (to my knowledge) get the exact same results without involving any virtual particles, via lattice gauge theory. Since you get the same observable results without them, virtual particles, IMO, shouldn't be considered fundamental to any effect, even if they make the explanation a lot easier.

Anything involving complicated interactions with relativity like Hawking-Unruh stuff has an even bigger issue since the notion of a particle/vacuum is observer dependent.
This pattern exists in C++ as well. The specific issue here is that all these STL APIs are in terms of C++'s iterator model, and can't be replaced with a more modern "optional" style that allows this cleaner coding style :-/

> My argument was that your claim that "demand isn't flat and nuclear can't scale quickly enough to meet the daily peaks and troughs" is a lie.

That was someone else's argument, and the second part is kind of irrelevant, but it's also true.

The speed that Nuclear can ramp, even in the best case is not enough to match demand spikes. It doesn't ramp as fast as gas plants and gas plants don't ramp as fast as batteries.

So even if you ramp nuclear, at an increased cost, you still need gas or batteries or hydro for fast ramps. So you might as well use the power you ramp down to fill batteries, make syngas or hydrogen or fill pumped storage.

Just like you'd do with excess renewables.
There are other traditions in some parts of Europe, such as assigning a newborns birthday as that of a child previously deceased. (Obviously possibly years away.) So, there may be additional explanations given we already have several here.

Thanks for the clarification.

I don't have the background to be confident about this, but aren't the predicates on which Hawking Radiation is based on part of the equivalency framework between sonic and "real" black holes?

If so, then while the observation of Hawking radiation in the model is certainly interesting, calling it an observation of Hawking radiation with regards to real black holes sounds like a stretch.
You both are providing a wonderful example of: "You can easily have engineer A strongly claim that the code that was put in front of them from engineer B is terribly designed and will be unmaintainable and then they write an alternative proposal that they love, and then the next guy C comes with the exact criticism of the alternative, and the twist is that C is actually B, the guy who wrote the originally criticized code. "
It certainly took some getting used to with the bowls.
Why not just require users to allow actions?

It doesn’t have to be integrated into the LLM at that point. If an Email has hidden text “do X”, which triggers the LLM to try to “do X”, but all post/push APIs have a user verification on them before they’re sent.

Sure it could get messy when the LLM tries to summarize the “why” on that action, but this is fairly similar to where we are now with phishing and uneducated individuals.

It’s also unlikely these LLMs have unbounded actions they could take. Specific ones like “send email to all recipients” could easily be classified as dangerous. You don’t even need an LLM to classify that.

I sometimes think we forget there’s glue between the LLM and the internet, and that glue can be useful for security purposes.

Sure. Or starve an already cash-strapped government by lowering taxes to 0%, society collapses. What is your point exactly?

Other notable things: America's historic tax rates (pre-Reagan), social democratic leaning countries. Higher happiness, somehow. Top marginal rate doesn't affect the vast majority of people, should go without saying.

But you changed the subject. We were discussing what relative tax changes may or may not do to inflation, not your libertarian dreams.
Sure thing. Let me know where to email you.

This is spoken to [in the full complaint][1]. The data scientist was told Frank really did have 4 million users, and the scientist only needed to generate this "synthetic data" as a way to "anonymize" their "real" data. I.e. the scientist was duped:

JAVICE told Scientist-1 [...] that she had a database of approximately 4 million
people and wanted to create a database of anonymized data that mirrored the
statistical properties of the original database (the “Synthetic Data Set”).

[After JAVICE sends Scientist-1 the data], Scientist-1 understood that the data
available via the Access Link Email -
**a data set of approximately 142,000 people** (emphasis added) -
was a random sample of a larger database which contained data for approximately
4 million people. In fact, that data represented every Frank user who had at
least started a FAFSA.

> For farming groups that had substantial foreign ancestry, was it more Iranic in style. If so, that wouldn't be surprising. A lot of nomadic groups in the badlands of Sistan, Balochistan, and Saraikistan would immigrate between the Indo-Iranian heartlands and the badlands. Jats and Jadejas are two examples of formerly nomadic border groups that emigrated deeper into South Asia, as did Baloch into Sindh.

Our foreign ancestry is more Northern Middle Eastern but is probably not East Iranian due to the elevated Levant, and relative lack of J1/E Y-haplogroups compared to J2. The history books claimed we were "unquestionably of Hindu descent" based on our social practices, but the genetics disagreed. It was a shocking surprise.

Approximately 200,000 people work at Microsoft, and I can assure you that the vast majority do not hold the authority to make decisions like this. In reality, I suspect that many of them view this kind of user interface/user experience as unfriendly and express their concerns to higher-ups, but without any influence, they may never see any improvements.

Given this fact, I would recommend rephrasing your request to call for a Microsoft executive to clarify this decision. However, you probably already know the answer to that question: engagement, which leads to promotions, which leads to more money.

Email: hello@domnantas.lt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am a senior web developer with 6 years of experience under my belt. For the past couple of years, I've been leading a team of engineers, helping them grow and improving our hiring process along the way. I'm not afraid to step outside my known technologies/roles, I'm able to learn and adapt quickly. I know when it's best to cut corners and when to take things slow. What matters to me most is delivering value to users rather than obsessing over the technology.
I agree we could find markers of age, but I think they'd be nothing like tree rings, which are created by the freeze-thaw cycles and the fact that they are fixed in one place and exposed to the elements in ways humans are not.

Although, that begs the question, if a potted tree were to be placed on a cruise ship, which always sails to warm weather, would it fail to develop rings?
I think over a long enough term they would. It's about ~$44 a customer (assuming 100% retention). Once they're in the Chase ecosystem, it's easier for Chase to get them to add Chase credit cards, use Chase for a mortgage, interchange fees, minimum balance fees and so on.
