They are against Natural Science & the enlightenment of humanity.

Existence is wonderfully observable & learnable. It took human kind to create this particularly infernal information void, to have manufactured such a degrading & omnipresent local system of black holes.

These are woefully against all spirit & should be torn down. More positively, there's so many positive pro-human pro-Augment-Intellect things tech could be doing; we need new powerful positive symbols that establish visible legible expansion of understandability.
Wow, thank you for your detailed post.

I have multiple iPhone 14 Pro Max, all 16.4

Yes, I know Comcast sucks but they are the only provider in my area for gigabit and they whitelabel Verizon mmWave 5G for a serious discount if you bundle with their internet (which I’m basically forced to use)

In my case, I disable auto join on all 9 managed networks and 5 of them are back to enabled before I’m done checking the list.
I would say, there isn't much of "dispute resolution" in digital payments in India. Sure if someone steals your ATM ad stuff and transfers money, you can go to bank and they will try to get that back but on the whole, it is generally understood once the payment is received, its gone from your end.

We don't have charge backs or fraudulent claims because everything is conscious, with an otp so buyer beware
If anyone actually had the solution to this problem, they'd probably be a billionaire with the most productive software company in the world, by a large margin. Solving this problem is basically the holy grail of software development. Personally, I'm not sure this problem can be solved, since it's a product of flaws in human psychology: fixing it would mean changing humans into something non-human, or just eliminating humans altogether and having AIs do these jobs.
> I think this is unnecessarily conspiratorial. Medical tests often have much more uncertainty than most expect, and many interventions are net negative on average.

If a crucial test is giving false positives, rather than dismissing the test altogether, it would be more beneficial to adjust the response protocols, invest in improving the test's accuracy, or focus on better informing patients about the potential risks and benefits. Discarding a test entirely could lead to missed opportunities for early detection and intervention, which can be crucial for certain conditions. There has to be some balance between skepticism and the potential value of medical tests and screenings.
haven't actually tried 11 yet because it's just a reskinned 10 (and visually, it looks a lot better).

I've been on 11 since it was released and I find it to be objectively a worse experience. On Win 10, I could game on one screen and stream a video in a browser on the other. On Win 11, I get stuttering on the streamed video.

It's also failed to update twice now. I invested hours into debugging the issue the first time. This time it's been days and I'm about to just do a fresh Win 10 install over this nightmare.
You can hit Cancel and it will still retain the auto-join setting (very counterintuitive).
Not to digress but we are not able to regulate / control the use of genetic engineering, how can we regulate the current GenAI hype?
Yeah exactly. Since these tools commoditize repetitive skills, the goal should be to see how creative and awesome the project is within the parameters given. Being creative is what you should be testing for since all these other skills are now commodities. It's the one thing we have that AI can't replicate (yet?).
What all these tools need to adopt is sending 10-20 requests out and finding the "best" response. I think it's incorrect that we try to get the tool to work right the first time. Auto-GPT has JSON parse errors 20-50% of the time. Instead, with enough parallel responses we can increase the likelihood one of them is "really good". The next challenge is figuring out which answer is really good and continuing with that.
My great grandmother was from a rural poor area.

She only knew that she was born in the spring in "the year of the big flood" which neither she nor local records could identify.

When we brought her to city hall, the just asked us what birthday she wanted and she picked her favorite number in her favorite month in spring and we guessed a year which was probably +/- 2-3 years correct.

Lots of bad data with lots of human bias.
If I could, I’d still be running Windows NT 4.0 just for the simplicity and GUI. It was the best OS to come out if Redmond. I wish they had stuck with their “workstation” strategy, but unfortunately not.

I don't understand why Apple allows carriers to do this. Apple id a well-respected brand by most of their customers while carriers are seen as an evil you cannot do without.
Are any of those examples successful open-source projects with both the computation and the GUI written in Python? I don't know of anything in any field like that.

I think you misunderstood me. The choice of tools for front and backend have to be independent. The only really successful projects implemented in one language are all in C++, and that's difficult for everyone to approach.
If apple wants to add a second wifi radio to handle carrier offloading, and having it treat this second wifi radio as a cellular radio by another medium, sure.

but I should have fullllllllllllllllll fucking control over what wifi network my device connects to.

The fact it can connect to mobile data is only 10% of the device, and i don't see why connecting to a carriers mobile network should grant that carrier the ability to edit user settings like what wifi networks its allowed to connect to.
This is a security non-starter. Why would Apple do this? These are not approved networks for most company usage.

Apple needs to start being a LOT more protective of their product’s privacy features, as it’s a major reason people stick with them and one of their core brand points.
Writing security updates costs money-and as the software gets older, the cost generally goes up too. Is it wrong for them to decide, after a reasonable period, to stop spending that money on outdated versions? What happens then when a small subset of customers says “we need those updates so much, we’ll pay extra for them?” Is it wrong to take their money and spend it on writing the updates they request, with a reasonable margin on top? But once you are selling updates to that small subset of customers, if you start giving the very same updates away for free to everyone else, those customers are going to ask for their money back. I don’t see any “psychopathy” here, just rational business decisions.

This doesn’t just happen for operating systems. Many vendors of on-promise proprietary software do the same-databases, middleware, ERP suites, etc-most of them have a special program for customers who want to stay on really old versions, in which they pay extra $$$ for updates compared to customers willing to move to a more current one. If you accept proprietary software as ethical, I can’t see how this practice can reasonably be accused of being unethical.
They should all fail if they are all identical. You look for someone who can build something extraordinary, who takes the parameters and runs with them.
Truly, my M1 Air runs rings around my 16 inch i9 work laptop in day to day use
I suspect this has to do with beaconing and once you force it to join your wifi it will stop until you leave your wifi coverage.

If you are walking towards your house and it sees one of these 'sponsored networks' it will autojoin it, when you walk into your house it won't switch. It saw the 'sponsored networks' beacon first.
Most of those vendors would flip and cooperate once pressed even a tiny bit by law enforcement. They're probably just regular ole nerds who made money in a bad and stupid way.
Those fabs are former cutting edge, but now fully accounting-deprecated, so they're used for MCUs. But I wonder what the steady state looks like? Nobody makes 180nm equipment now. Eventually they'll run out of spare parts. What do things look like in another 30 years? MCUs made at 14nm? How big would the die be on like an ATtiny4? Bond wires crowded around 100x100 µm of populated silicon? Dicing saw kerf throwing away half the wafer?
It's been about a half hour and so far so good.
I got it to work with MPS by having pytorch with mps support and then editing the cli.py file to allow the use of mps:

Allow passing in --device="mps":
ie: choices=["cuda", "cpu", "mps"]

Set kwargs:
kwargs = {
"torch_dtype": torch.float16
}

then adding to("mps") on line 98:
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name,
low_cpu_mem_usage=True, *kwargs).to('mps')

commenting out:
raise ValueError(f"Invalid device: {args.device}")

and changing cuda to mps on line 80:
if args.device == "mps":

I'm not sure it's working correctly but at least it's a step. It's told me how to catch a duck but it often falls into some "renewable energy" sequence. :D

Effort without intelligence is just pointless toil though. Either this paper is saying it’s pure chance, in which case effort isn’t relevant, or some intelligence is required.
Are you using the t-mobile app? Maybe uninstall it, if so. Next, on your home network you can block the HTTPS requests that your phone makes to check for profile updates. I don’t recall that domain name (it has to be a domain name and not an IP due to the use of HTTPS for those checks, which Apple requires) but you can probably figure it out from your pihole. You’ll still get updates over cellular.

I agree 100% that it should be opt-out (if not opt-in). I suspect however that the problem with overwriting your settings is as likely a bug as intentional. This area of software is buggy as heck.
Some people say they don't have a mind voice, and grow up thinking nobody does. Other people, with a mind voice, grow up thinking everyone does.

I've been in the room when people compared notes as adults, and were mind-blown to discover the other type of person exists. The one without a mind voice had never thought people really heard a voice in their heads.

It’s “fun” to get it all up and running and for the most part it works well. But I did start to hit issues like if you want a game of counterstrike it steam didn’t like the fact it was running in a VM, etc. halo infinite etc were all in the same boat. Now whenever I rarely get time to have a quick game its either straight on Linux with Proton or something, most steam installs just seem to work these days. Or I just boot into Windows for a session
Is that published material stuff that's for sale, or are you meaning flyers, adverts and that kind of thing?
I think, from my quick reading of the code, that it's triggerable by having VGA arbitration enabled (which requires having PCI enabled) and having IBM VIO support compiled in, without having a VGA device.

In any case, QEMU will give you a VGA device when run with default options, so it's not that rare for developers to run VMs with a VGA card.

This particular bug was found by one of our excellent test engineers, I'm not sure what specifically he was doing that led him to hit this bug, beyond testing stuff with KASAN enabled on a real machine using the IBM PowerVM hypervisor.

I strongly disagree with the premise. This isn't proper poverty, this is a borderline agrarian lifestyle utilizing various allowances as well as support structures intended for the poor. The author has a personal safety net, as well as a social one supporting them, and took advantage of lax property enforcement to build a house on state land. If you have means and options like they do, you aren't dirt poor. This isn't poverty, this is conscientious objection. Many small farmers live this way. At any point they could stop and have a normal life if they chose. That's not poverty, merely poverty tourism.

As such I don't think documenting this lifestyle serves as useful as advice for other poor people.

This isn't a commentary on the ethics or merits of their life either. Good for them.
This is a sloppy article that summarizes sloppy research and conclusions. Any State school science graduate student could point out the various reasons why. Though I'm unfamiliar with the average quality of the MIT Tech Review, I'd guess that the article isn't worthy of it.
That sounds weird, how can you fail if you don't try? What sounds better to me is that the success rate for those who don't try is 0%, which btw I don't see a counter argument for the article. Obviously if you don't try you don't even enter the lottery.
What, it was? I went to an anon anti Scientology protest once. Was I just being used?
It's great to hear your success story. I love tech and I love programming, but 60h a week of a it sounds completely superhuman to me. It's like someone telling me they just ran a marathon in 2.5 hours. Sure, I know it's theoretically possible but I can't image what it takes to get here.

This thread has really made me realize what a disability ADHD is. I struggle to watch a movie from start to finish, even one I have been really looking forward to.

Sounds like it and it sounds like they built a chrome extension that effectively acts as a proxy for traffic through the target IP with the appropriate metadata to trick fingerprinters.
Slavery is not a matter of how log it may live, it's the entrapment-- what it's being kept from doing.

Some time ago I've read a comment - here - about some speculation about the consciusness just being an emergent state of the brain-mind, having based the idea in some proof related to the dream cycles, when you see some stuff in brain just gone, just to re-appear after the dream cycle ends.

Hence, the idea would be that human consciusness, our "self" could be just "instantiated" every morning when you wake up, so "you" are "you" every morning, but (a big but), some stuff could be subtle different in there, your brain was a bit busy a couple of hours and things have happened there, and after that you, your "you" justs pop-ups again, in the middle of the old data plus the new data, hopefully just incrementally changed somehow, but we don't know.

Some further stuff related to this idea research pop ups - pun intended - from time to time, focusing lately in propofol and how people "reboots" from anesthesia, sometimes losing entire 10-25 min. before-after the propofol, many even forget entire conversations with doctors, nurses, whatever who they talked to, hence the brain could be doing some rollback stuff with "unsynced not trustable data" - because of propofol messing with some "fidelity algorithm" probably - somehow, and you just forget the entire input-thinking ocurred during the propofol stuff happeping in your brain.

Hope you have now these "So I'd be some kind of meat robot rebooting every night" feeling I had, and see with new eyes what happen when we "just run once" a LLM with a prompt, the entire thing "boot-ups" from nothing and runs ("just once"), to further dissapear moments later...
Not too interesting to solve a "problem" that solves itself.

Just going from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4 I'd say intent inference has improved by an order of magnitude. It almost feels mind-reader-ish.

I've been waffling because I'm trying to cope with the absurdity of this product by highlighting the flaws (it can fail badly on tough problems), but we've gone from CleverBot to a genie that can instantly analyze your written intent and produce a highly logically coherent, well-worded analysis in a very short period of time.

Which weights in your two categories are larger is the entire discussion though.
>>> When users cannot predict how input controls affect outputs they have to resort to trial-and-error, which is frustrating. This is a major issue when using generative AI for creating new content and it will remain an issue as long as the mapping between the input controls and outputs is unclear. But we can improve AI interfaces by enabling conversational interactions that can let users establish common ground/shared semantics with the AI, and that provide repair mechanisms when such shared semantics are missing.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the reasoning for working on your prompt engineering.

The prompt is the interface. Prompting is a communication skill, a management skill, and a technical skill.

I doubt many will be hired as a "prompt engineers" in coming years (some already have been, by idiotic corps) - but being a bad prompt engineer will be a noticeable lack.

Start practicing.

Yes, absolutely true. I think there’s something like 8M people just in NSW and the majority are Sydney.

Only trying to provide context for the economics of density in places like Singapore and the a Netherlands, not necessarily prove the opposite use case. I just wanted to highlight a contrasting factor that is very important for fiber and other high speed service viability. There are many others!

These criticisms are totally valid.

Mr. Miyamoto says that "Nintendo's core strategy is a hardware and software integrated gaming experience". But I don't buy it. I don't think that the success of Switch had anything to do with the Joy-Con, which offered me nothing but gimmicky games like 1-2-3 Switch or ARMS or Nintendo Labo. No, what I liked about Switch was the simple fact that I could pay once and play rich games on both handheld and console modes, unlike the smartphone games that nickel-and-dime me every time. I hope that the successor of Switch will be more orthodox and less gimmicky.
Yeah but then you'd have to retype the output instead of just copy/pasting it. :)

There's lots of second and third order effects I think. Traffic reduction and pollution reduction should result in a decrease in lives lost to accidents and respiratory diseases. Reduction in traffic could lead to uptake in cycling and outdoor activities and a healthier populace. Reduction in pollution could be better for ground based wildlife and the environment. I imagine there's significantly less cost both in materials and maintenance for a drone vs a van so that could end up being passed on to the consumer. Possibly personalised delivery times as the drone could theoretically delivery whenever.

A possibly more dystopian one: likely to have all manner of cameras and sensors on board that will probably be used at some point as evidence if a crime if committed whilst the drone is passing by the area.

Guh, I remember at a previous job, one of my managers would always dedicate a multiple minutes to pie charts of types of tests done at the end of each sprint - the business stakeholders and the developers at the retrospectives couldn't have cared less that 30% of testing effort was spent on smoke testing compared to 28% last sprint.
