Key difference is Google pays a FUCKTON of money to be default search provider. The US Department of Justice is going after this.

Once Google can’t pay-to-play in Safari and iOS they are in very deep shit. This is the classic thing with monopolies: eventually the “innovation” is just leveraging market power to deepen the moat by burning cash.

This is what happens when the CFO runs the damn company. Sundar has no vision, at all, and Ruth’s vision is the same boring Wall Street play book that put a hundred tech companies in the ground.
Perhaps, but talking with them for 15 minutes will do the same in any case.
Not that expensive, though
The New 3DS has eye tracking and doesn't require you to stay in one spot. It's still single-user, but it is significantly more stable than the original 3DS.
I can't claim a truly incredible IQ, but mine was measured high enough to get me into gifted programs as a kid.

I've much preferred the "boring" jobs I've had to the brainy ones, which I mostly find to be miserable. I'm only not doing a "boring" job to this day, because they don't pay half as well as the brainy jobs. Not sure if that's a majority attitude among my peers (or those smarter than me, of whom there are plenty) but given all the other personnel problems low-skill employers put up with, I can't imagine smart-person-boredom would even register.

Now, smart people deciding they'd prefer to like work less, but have way more money? Or deciding at a much lower threshold that they don't need to put up with abuse or even illegal behavior (so very, very common) from a manager, and leaving, since they have tons of other options? Those, maybe, would tip the scales. I'm skeptical that boredom is the main problem, though it may be a nicer (to the employer) way to put it.

"Broken flowers" was such a wonderful film. I recollect very little of it, but what I'll always remember is Mulatu Astatke and "Dengue Fever" (the band), very, very impressive.

"Yegelle Tezeta" is an absolute masterpiece, up there with the very greatest of them.
Twitter can do nothing and allow Indians to use Twitter. India would block Twitter, not the other way around.

No one would have to be a "Musk hater" if he didn't prove himself to be a serial liar with no principles. Mark Zuckerberg is a soulless void of greed, but at least he never called himself a "free speech absolutist" or criticized anyone else for their stance on free speech. He lives in a gray area, which is where all people and organizations have to live.

I actually just switched all our default search engines to Bing yesterday. Google is showing "Sponsors" that link directly to a full screen page with tons of warnings telling you to call some 800 number so you can get scammed. And that's after nearly downloading a fake Blender install a few weeks ago. I'm done with it.
I’m in the founders hub program as well and have been very happy with the generous amount of credits, which I have also used for GPU SKUs (don’t remember the exact SKU).

It’s true that there are some constraints on eligible SKUs, but I have found that usually it’s tied to which region you want to run it in, i.e. subject to (non-preferential) availability. And GPU SKUs are obviously in high demand currently. Consider checking in other regions or even zones if you haven’t already.

My impression is certainly not that they are trying to bait and switch you, but just that the Azure experience can be a bit user hostile sometimes.
Relatively happy to see it... though I do tend to lean towards the free speech side of the coin, and kind of miss the relative wild west that was IRC in the 90's. I feel like centralized social media is a blessing and a curse. What's old is new again.
That isn't really what is going on. If the signal doesn't contain any higher frequency information, the Nyquist limit establishes what you need to exactly reconstruct the signal. It is therefore sufficient for any use.

So your case, a 1hz sin doesn't contain any higher frequencies, and will be reconstructed perfectly. A 1hz sawtooth contains higher frequencies, and so is not.

I think what you are really getting into is that a signal with periodicity of, say 1hz, does not mean that the Nyquist limit is 1hz. Square waves and sawtooths are particularly obvious examples of this, because the sharp edges cannot be achieved without (very many) high frequency contributions.

Now you can avoid this by creating a different set of component functions and a different sense of "frequency" but that just pushes the problem around. Also, since you are doing non-standard things you need to explain it, especially if what you are using doens't form a proper basis.

Finally, of course this is all in the idea mathematical setting, in real world noise etc. also has to be taken into effect.
I was disappointed by this article and how it omitted the fact that Twitter hardcoded how references to Russia's invasion of Ukraine should be downranked.

WHAT. It's got the second half wrong.

Google: Have you actually used GPT-4 for translation? Really, it's a joke that the story of only conveying explicit meaning can be easily solved by just trying.

DeepL: Have you actually used GPT-4 for translation? Really, it's a joke that all this talk about conveying only explicit meaning can be easily solved by just trying it out.

Mine: Have you actually used GPT-4 for translations? That you can really just, try and easily solve that story that to convey explicit meaning, is such a joke.

Jobs said,

"In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service."

Design is not just one thing or another. It happens at each layer. From deciding how many options you want to present to the user, to how they will be presented. Or deciding how to deal with errors in the backend, versus reporting them in the front end. Design decisions are made the whole way through.

I think this is visible with lots of Apple products because some people complain that they aren’t flexible enough. But reducing configurability is as much a design decision as the colour of the icons. (And sometimes more challenging)
There is zen-mode in emacs as well.
Honest question: why is noticing/not noticing the author relevant to you? Isn’t the point of reading something to consume the actual content?

I totally get the point of following people you’re already familiar with and have a track record of quality. Not arguing against that.

I’m just interested in your comment about not noticing the author.

I have highly technical graduate and undergraduate degrees (in CS-adjacent field) and a decade of experience doing software development part time, but no direct experience with quantum computing (or much beyond an undergraduate physics class and an intro CS class in terms of directly related study), and consider myself a better-than-average test-taker. I could get 1D, 1E, 1F and 1T by intuition, 1J by actual knowledge, 1P by tautology, and had roughly no shot at the open-ended questions.
There is another variable of experience with the technology which seems to be high for Postgres, low for RabbitMQ…

What could he possibly mean by this? How does our status quo threaten to make uncontrollable computers?

> AI should instead be designed to further human interests, to recognize it doesn’t know what those interests are, and to seek evidence to identify and act upon those interests

Or just... don't give it control over things with perilous disaster-cases.

This is so unbelievably wishy-washy. You could copy the last 2 sentences there and tell me it was a quote about UNIX error handling in the 80s and I wouldn't bat an eye. If you want to be alarmist and call something "civilization-ending", you should at least have evidence to justify how it might do that. If this is our industry-leading rumination on the state of AI, maybe we do have reason to worry.

> Your point about liability is valid

How is it valid? It's currently a solved problem. The driver of the car is still held liable because they are still, ultimately, driving the car. Tesla's with autopilot seem to make drivers safer, and acting like we don't know who is liable in the event of a crash is just a red herring.
> I don’t know whether it’s true but I’d bet money that parents net worth, avg income, or zip code are even better predictor of those outcomes.

IQ correlates with them after controlling for those factors (and parental wealth, at least, does too, controlling for the others and IQ). Not sure if the others explain anything not explained by parental wealth and IQ, but probably a little bit. (But, e.g., zip code will overlap a lot with both wealth and the non-wealth variation in IQ, the latter since geography will predict some environmental issues known to adversely impact IQ.)
That doesn't really make sense because most big accounts tweet about a range of topics. There's pretty well established ways for estimating the probability based on how the range of topics you might tweet about would match with the range of topics a user likes. That means you have to try and figure out what your base likes to see, and be like that. Tweeting about only a single topic means that you're only targeting people who are likely to like tweets from accounts that tweet about that one topic.
Some complementary reading could be My Philosophy on Alerting ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/199PqyG3UsyXlwieHaqbGiWVa... ) and https://how.complexsystems.fail/

In any case, not all signals are the same. Most systems have a lot of components interacting and what turns to be dangerous is usually a combination of factors, but in the end, what defines that it was or not is that the system is doing what it should. You can put some guessing thresholds, but you must contrast it with that the system works.

And they should be actionable too, at least for alerts instead of slow day notifications, or metrics giving context to perceived problems that could take out the guessing from the thresholds.

No, this assumption is incorrect. You can ADC first and then demodulate afterwards. The spectrum of your high-frequency (near 1 GHz) signal will be aliased at frequencies below the Nyquist frequency, but it’s easy to calculate the original frequency, if you know that the signal is band-limited.
The post is somewhat incomplete without also discussing the cost of the wrong decision.

You obey the smoke alarm because the cost of ignoring the alarm when it is a true positive is potentially infinite (you die). You ignore the car alarm because (1) most likely it is a false positive but also (2) most likely it is somebody else's car.
Can't speak for anyone else, for me I've mostly liked it. But I use a separate password manager (bitwarden) and disable most of the embedded addons (shopping, etc). So it's a bit mixed.

It's very easy to stop these AI cold. Make "I don't know" or "Insufficient information" a correct answer--those are not in the training set.

These AI have "Male Answer Syndrome" to the nth degree. They will shamelessly give you an answer even if they have to completely make one up.
these compromises are productive and show that you do come from a place of intellectual honesty.

if the federal government had been tasked with overseeing the early versions of fsd, it would have been swiftly shut down because of the nature of the federal government, not to mention the politics. but thanks to the private sector we now have modern fsd which is bar none the most advanced and capable self-driving solution in the world. now that self driving has gotten this far, its probably much less likely to be aborted if subjected to government intervention and oversight. in light of the huge benefits that self-driving cars stand to create, measured in human lives, compromise is the only rational proposal. shutting down fsd like mouth-breathing internet commenters talk about would be objectively wrong given the state of its competitors and the nature of the problem.

That's a line of thought I often see but... In the end all she did manage was to land herself in jail for 11 years. That's not "genius". Not even smart. That's just plain dumb. To win a stupid prize, it takes a stupid person to play a stupid game.

Repetition is helpful in discovering what we like about particular kinds-of picture and learning successful techniques.

Some public events explicitly provide a role for volunteer photography and policy for that role:

> We expect humans to make mistakes and we have various ways of dealing with the consequences (eg lawsuits targeted at the responsible individual).

The same is true of manufacturers and others in the chain of commerce of goods (see, e.g., the general rules on defective product liability), even where they aren’t individual humans. There’s nothing about AI which makes it particularly special in this regard.
Marxist failures are always written off as being caused by not being "true" Marxism.

STEM has had many false theories (like the sun revolves around the earth). The virtue of STEM is when the facts contradict the theories, the theories get revised, even if the old guard has to die off before the corrected theory replaces it. With Marxism, however, the facts get re-written to conform to Marxism, rather than the other way around.

One of the beauties of the scientific method is it tests the predictions a theory makes. If the predictions come true, the theory is validated. If the predictions don't pan out, the theory is false.

A famous example is Einstein's Relativity theory predicted that gravity bends light. Einstein became world famous when decades later, this bending was observed.

Marxist theory also makes predictions, but none of those predictions pan out. This never discourages the critical thinkers in the humanities, which leaves me unimpressed with the critical thinking skills of it.
Sure, but compared to jail? I could imaging preferring living in a small cabin off the grid in some remote place as an alternative. She obviously deserves it, but in the hypothetical case the alternatives don’t seem all that terrible.
In the artistic/creative space, a crapload of the best artists on twitter are trans. Musk is a loud and proud transphobe, and has implemented his politics into Twitter's moderation.

You don't have to be LGBTQ to see how important trans people are to Twitter's health. Many are still there because business is business, but many trans people and their allies have left because the new owner seems to hate them on a deeply personal level, and they have the professional wiggle room to ditch that promotional space.

Edit: W00t deep negatives for affirming that trans people exist and for stating the obvious that Musk hates them.
It's worth pointing out that near the root of this comment thread is a comment that reads, "Yoko wasn’t the wedge that drove the Beatles apart, it was George." Not to take away from either point; yours that there's plenty of room for nuance and theirs that the nuance isn't always given room. Just that they seem to be responding more to this sort of comment than Beatles commentary as a whole.
Dear AI [GPT4], What is love?
Regardless of how good you are, you're ramp up time is very dependent on the place.

If you're walking into a place with very little in the way of documentation and process, it could take a while to learn enough to be effective (ex: 50 different microservices and 5 different stacks, nuanced environments, etc.)

On the other hand, if everything is very standardized and well documented, you can jump right in.

Anyone who is interested should also read https://twitter.com/aakashg0/status/1641976869460275201 for a rather different take.

It particularly interested me that Twitter under Musk is trying NOT to discuss Ukraine, and PENALIZES people who attempt to interact with those outside of their general political circle. I can give arguments for why they should do both, but I think both are ultimately bad ideas.

It's a combination of capabilities and productivity.

To use a concrete example from another app I built: it's a web-based file browser for S3 (think Norton Commander for S3 on the web).

You enter S3 creds and my backend code gets a list of files and sends to the client as JSON. I generate UI (HTML) from that JSON.

Could the backend generate that HTML? Not really, because it's not just a static list.

It's a sophisticated file browser. The user can double-click to "enter" a directory, navigate the list of files with a keyboard, right click to get context menu with options to delete, rename files etc.

My UI (HTML) needs to be mutated and it's not even possible to offload those kinds of things to the backend because they are driven by the state in the client (mouse movements, keyboard events, scroll events etc.).

That's the capability part: a lot of things can only be done in the client.

As to productivity: even if the needs are not as sophisticated, my productivity in Svelte is off the charts.

Let's say you just generate static HTML for the list of files.

Generating HTML is a very iterative process: you start with the basic structure, you try it and then you tweak the CSS to make it look better.

Since my backends are in Go, changing a single line of Go code requires killing the server, rebuilding it and restarting it and since I lost all the state, re-doing all the steps needed to get to a page I'm working on.

My iteration loop per single change is minutes and very annoying.

With Svelte I have an amazing HTML templating language and with HMR (Hot Module Reload) I often don't even have to refresh the page: I change my .svelte file to, say, add a class to <td> element, I save it in Visual Studio Code and the page get magically refreshed with new visuals, without loosing the state.

My iteration loop is basically nothing.

Over many iterations, that all adds up.

If you can’t disprove something with quantifiable data, then it’s not really a theory in terms of science.
> To add another misconception, the Nyquist frequency is a lower bound, below which you necessarily get aliasing. It doesn't say anything about whether said sampling rate is sufficient for reconstruction or whatever your intended use is.

Yes, it does. The Nyquist criterion gives exactly the (minimum) sampling frequency you need for perfect reconstruction of a bandlimited signal.

> E.g. sampling a 1hz signal at 2hz still doesn't tell you if the signal was a 1hz sin or a 1hz sawtooth (depending on how lucky or unlucky you are).

A 1 Hz sawtooth is not a bandlimited signal, so the Nyquist theorem does not apply.

Over on Japanese Twitter, the sudden shift in the kinds of post getting recommended pre- and post- Musk layoffs were undeniable. No longer were political posts the recommendations, but rather cultural posts such as those concerning games, anime, and manga among others.

Most of the Japanese user base welcomed the change, amazed at just how much manipulation Twitter Japan was (or is) doing behind the scenes.
