Those badges regularly did not reflect reality.

Nowadays, HTML parsing is exhaustively defined in the form of a couple of state machines, so it’ll behave the same everywhere. It’s genuinely easy to implement perfectly (though it’ll still take a while because there is quite a bit of it).
For the replier that wanted a more substantive response; my comment can be expanded on by pointing out it is ultimately a commentary on the motivations involved in the employee-manager relationship within the bureaucracy of the mega-corporation, within a society where financial success drives including but not limited to comfort, mate selection, breeding, health, longevity and day-to-day basic survival itself - factors with the importance of which has been determined by millennia of evolutionary biology.

Ultimately the result can be that an employee chooses health, survival and the social status that a job title brings and ships a product or feature that they can sell to their manager as innovative / disruptive / greatness reimagined.
> from the early days when everyone was skeptical of digital cameras, to the modern age when film is somewhat a niche hobby

Maybe film will come back. Digital cameras used to be a great idea. Now they get mainstream press coverage for things like

"California residents struggle to photograph the orange sky because their digital cameras won't allow the sky to be orange."

"Samsung will locate the moon in your pictures and replace it with stored stock photography of the moon."

"Samsung will add teeth to photographs of your infant."

I'd like it if my digital cameras wouldn't add information to the photo that wasn't present in the sensors. I don't think that's actually a minority view.
I think it does come down to semantics. When you say "weights", people will take you to mean the pre-trained parameters of the network.

I agree that in some sense the attention weights are more like meta-weights that are applied to the context of the conversation to decide how to actually weight the various words. So it's totally correct to say that previous words in the conversation affect how future words will be weighted, and I think it's reasonable to call that 'learning': for example, you can tell ChatGPT new words and it will be able to use them in context. Again though, people usually take 'learning' to mean making updates to the trained parameters of the model itself, which obviously isn't happening here.

> It's why I don't understand why in the US, the president is also the top military commander.

Somebody has to be in charge of the military. If that person is just someone promoted from within, you're never more than one person's decision from a coup d'etat, "A republic, if you can keep it". So, an elected leader it is.

Of the three branches of the US government, only one is intended to provide an executive function, to decide, in an instant where necessary, without deliberation and compromise. The President. So that's the right person for the job of ultimate military commander, and it's one of the few things about that job which the voters seem to actually have some idea about.

Both the US and UK systems are under-staffed. The UK shares the job of executive leader and legislative leader (very different skill sets) under one role "Prime Minister" - while the US shares the job of executive leader and head of state (a figurehead) which also require totally different skill sets under the role of "President". This would make sense with a very small population, but it's crazy to imagine these huge countries couldn't find two people to do these very different jobs even a little better than one man (and in the US it has always been a man somehow) can do both.
It’s something people love to be, but in a world with recorded audio, you don’t need as many musicians as you once needed (and it was actually a fairly common job).

You have the right idea.

The special thing about the US federal tax is that it covers everyone the law covers. Most countries tax residents or some other subset, perhaps "residents old enough to work", you get the idea. The difference is the set of people who are subject to US federal law for a reason other than residence. There are things you can do that bring you into scope, including some forms of work.

Next Wave of Remote Work Is About Outsourcing Jobs Overseas
Doctors have an unusually strong professional monopoly.

In much of the world they regulate to maintain perpetual under-supply and to ensure they are inserted as bottlenecks in strategic/lucrative places.

When AI comes for health care you can bet that doctors will ensure they have a key role in service delivery.

(BTW: doctors are great! I just wish we had more of them and that on the whole they were less over-worked).

Personally I would not be worrying too much for the doctors.

At the moment you can answer via video OR text, but we should probably make the text part clearer... With that being said, we don't have any plans for additional question types as we see our main point of differentiation being the video element. So we're probably going to focus on that on our roadmap; things like transcription, video editing etc.

With that being said, other question types are probably fairly easy to add relative to the other video related things, so maybe? What would you want to use it for?
Tidelift also has a similar program: https://tidelift.com/about/lifter

But dependency tracking is hard and all of these platforms only scratch the surface. For example, I've never seen a solution that detects C libraries used from other languages, let alone the dependencies of these libraries. Then there are build-time dependencies which are hard to detect. Here's an example of a complex dependency chain:

redmine -> ruby-commonmarker -> libcmark -> re2c

Wake me up if someone offers a solution that detects chains like that.
> LLMs take so much engineering effort, research, and compute that it's unlikely there will be good open source alternatives in the near future.

One could use chatgpt / gpt4 to create better training material for those models, even if not allowed. In that sense there is an advantage to being second here.
One thing that I haven't seen addressed here or in the FAQ is:
What happens to donations towards dependencies where the maintainer / organization / group of maintainers is not registered at thanks.dev?

The FAQ has a section titled "What happens if I don’t claim my balance?", but I think this only applies to people registered at thanks.dev.
I'm not even sure that thanks.dev would be able to reliably contact developers that / maintainers in all (most ?) situations.
> Hard to understand why no company has directly taken on YouTube - not Apple, not Netflix, not Amazon, not Microsoft

Plenty of companies have tried to take on youtube in one way or another - Vimeo was a very similar product before they pivoted; some youtube creators also post to Floatplane, Utreon, Nebula, Odysee etc; and many social media sites that used to be awash in youtube links now have their own video hosting.

But youtube seems very durable.

The reason they discuss (and name) the Flynn effect, is because it is one of the most obvious objections to their claims.

Either IQs are going up (and racial gaps closing) on a non evolutionary timescale due to environmental changes that should be studied and encouraged by government policy or IQs are not a good measure of genetic intelligence.

Their policy preferences are for the government not to intervene to improve IQ scores or close racial gaps. But they also want to make radical policy based on IQ because it's such an important measure.

What sort of performance difference can you expect from in context Vs fine tuning, any relevant papers on this ?
I'm curious how this will be handled.

There's already a `vendor/openssl-3.0` branch in their git repo, but those changes look like way too big to release in just a security patch for 13.2.

FreeBSD 14.0 is scheduled for July (2 months before OpenSSL 1.1.1 EOL), so maybe we'll get OpenSSL 3.0 in that release, and then a backport with the OpenSSL upgrade.

But the timelines seem too tight, so I'm not too optimistic.
The meaning of the English word "the" is to refer to a specific instance of a thing. noobermin said "AI researchers" meaning some indefinite researchers in general, you said "the researchers" presumably referring to the exact researchers of this paper, so you're talking about a different set of researchers than noobermin, thus failing to refute their claim.
I'm not saying the tech demo isn't impressive, I'm just saying the content on its own is kind of crap. Which is a compliment to the tech on it's own I'd say - that it can even be considered in the same category.
It will always be a trade off between lower signature and protection/awareness.

Active protection systems have radars that will light you up like a Xmas tree, tanks also have a lot of EW gear on them that even before hardkill APS became common used a ton of power and increases their signature.

Silent/LowSig mode is just another tool in their toolkit. If they know that the threat landscape allows them to go into low signature mode safely and that it would improve their combat effectiveness they now will be able to do so.

I apologize if this comment isn't as informative as it should be. In fact, since Sun Wu lived as long ago as ~2500 years, we don't have any recognizable family heritage about him now.

What people do for a living takes up about half of their waking life (and they probably dream about it too), so it will tell you so much about the person. Personally I love my job and what I do, so I really want to talk about matters at least related to it because my life does revolve around it indeed. So establishing some common ground with the other person can really help to start the conversation.

But of course the conversation doesn't have to specifically be about either job through progression.
Your not following. I never argued that noone can make fun of another person, disrupt or heckle. Such discourse is perfectly normal in elementary and middle school and is observed by similarly elementary adults. It is the continuous disruption by a single or a few participants that is unproductive and denies any communication or discourse for the parties. We are talking about a law school here, where topics are non-trivial and nuanced … not the Jerry Springer Show … or third grade.

For example, it would be harassment if I show up at your birthday party at a restaurant patio and repeatedly yell that you are a pedantic, argumentative, picayune anarchist who should have more manners and respect the opportunity of others to speak their opinions as well. Saying it once or twice is another matter.
I'm not sure why digitalcameraworld.com has published this news. If you go to the DPreview home page, there is an article – https://www.dpreview.com/news/0507902613/dpreview-closure-an... – that the site will stay in archive mode (ie. read only mode).

I've noticed, as an amateur photographer and a subscriber to a photography magazine masthead that Future Publishing produces (who are also the owners of digitalcameraworld.com) that the editors and storywriters there are really behind the 8-ball when it comes to timings of their "news" articles. Many of the things that they write are simply out of date by the time it's published on the site. This is just a classic example of that.

> I believe the groundswell of dislike for Google among the tech literate had it's roots in the Reader shutdown.

I disagree. I believe it was the "SSL added and removed here" NSA slide that showed that nothing stored with cloud providers is safe from government snooping without a warrant. It's not so much directed at Google as it is everything that is big enough to be on the tip of the surveillance state's tongue.

Nothing we store non-e2ee in the big public cloud services is safe from illegal warrantless wiretapping. It's not strictly Google's fault per se.

This draft has to be canceled. It forbids some established naming conventions and project logo branding. It also gives the Foundation the power and responsibility to approve or disapprove other communities’ logos based on the Foundation’s political beliefs, which is not what the Foundation should do.
