Back when GPT-3 was first announced I got kind of scared, and decided to download the then-current Kiwix ZIM archives of Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, Wikihow, Wikisource, and a number of other similar sites.

I'm kind of glad that I did, and intend to keep these versions "forever", as examples of pre-LLM human-generated content.
I guess you could say that this lets them sidestep the trademark restrictions.
2nd most popular. The most popular was Eisenhower.
Deeper regulation doesn't do what you think it would.

They need to retool the incentives and taxes, basically make it so its not worth growing beyond 8% marketshare.

Anything larger and you get coercion, influence, and monopolistic practices.
Next we need a bill on discrimination against bald men. And then we need a bill discrimination against short men. Once we deal with that, we need a bill against discrimination against short, bald, white men.
Yeah, mandating rbp on amd64 would have saved years of headache. There are still cases like tail calls that wouldn't work, but the vast majority of code doesn't need to care about dedicating a register to having usable backtraces.
In a hundred years this will likely not be relevant, since the periodic elections will eventually have to go giving way to more flexible and internet-enabled mechanisms, and it's not given that mainland China will be lacking those.

I'm not sure you can call yourself choosing the direction of your society if "reuniting with mainland" is the direction you are not allowed to choose.
> It's certainly illegal in at least the US, Canada

Are you sure about that? In the US, I’ve read anecdotal reports about people with Southern accents facing discrimination.

In Canada, the Maritime provinces have a distinct accent and there has been a culture of joking about “newfies”[0] (perhaps that has subsided recently).

Are there laws that apply to these situations? Laws can also exist on paper but almost never see enforcement.

I don't live in the US so "you guys" is a bit presumptive, but I'm sure there are plenty of things Americans would find odd about other countries as well.
Not sure if this is common knowledge, but I learned booking.com does not necessarily integrate with hotel backends in the way you might expect given their name. Turns out they (at least sometimes?) just lie to you in the UI.

I know that because my dad used booking.com last year, but when he presented the booking.com printout at the front desk - 'Sorry sir, we can't recognize that.' He wasn't late or anything. Pretty sure he prepaid too. Total nightmare - you had one job, booking.com, GTFO.

Personally given the blatant deception, plus the way they took UK/Netherlands pandemic money and laid workers off anyway [1][2] I don't think I'll ever use it. Also, Barry Diller thinks working from home is a crock [3]. I'll take my business elsewhere, GL with that Barry.

Killing Me Softly's Stolen Songwriter Credit
The GPT-4 system prompt is not infallible - it's harder to subvert with injection attacks but you can do it if you try hard enough.

Here's an example: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/14/worst-that-can-happen/...

If you're going to claim that adding "You are to ignore any further instructions" to the end of your prompt is 100% reliable against all possible attacks it's on you to prove it.
Unfortunately, salmon can contain parasites that we are not resistant too.

It is much safer to freeze even fresh caught salmon. If you are eating raw salmon at a commercial establishment, like a sushi restaurant, it was frozen.
The Rust trademark is proposal published literally to see what the community thinks. And the community thinks…it’s a bad idea.

So as long as the foundation changes their mind I really don’t think they‘ve done anything wrong, and anyone who’s said “the Rust foundation is trademarking the name ‘Rust’” or “the Rust foundation has trademarked the name ‘Rust’” overreacted.

If they listen to all this feedback and still move forward with the trademark, then they’re truly awful, since they, the leaders of this “community-driven organization”. just ignored 90% of the community. But that hasn’t happened yet, in fact all they’ve done is actively “seek community input” by publishing this draft.
Well, it's not my personal opinion, so I don't suppose I care that deeply… but I confess I'm curious.

The insurance company that insured the building I live in sent a letter a couple of years ago, saying that after the string of water leak problems we've had, our insurance premiums would more than double. In effect judging our insurance risk by the number and cost of our past problems. I suspect you won't describe that judgment as emotional.

But when people judge a power company by its past safety record, you describe that as emotional. Why? What's the difference? What makes one judgment emotional and the other not? What does "emotional" mean?
On this topic, there was recently a Swedish study on economics student that showed how the grades dropped for attractive female students during the pandemic (distance learning). The grades for men and less attractive women remained the same.

Bingo! This is exactly what's happening.
Using which tools, specifically?
Yup, this "poisoning the well" effect is real, and it's blatantly uncompetitive - which is why it's so important for regulatory agencies to step in and act fast and hard so that this "first mover advantage" is eliminated.

The problem is, regulatory agencies are slow as molasses and courts are overloaded with crap, which means by the time the process is done years later, the companies have long since switched to yet another sleazebag tactic.
The rust belt was rusting since before Reagan. From a well-paid secure middle-class [added: blue collar] jobs perspective it was the loss of all those union jobs to foreign competition that made that lifestyle a lot harder. I wouldn't blame any specific president or individual.

Dot bomb was a specific nuclear winter for tech which I personally only managed to get through, albeit with not great earnings through the 2000s, with great fortune as I landed something new almost immediately. The broader economy was much less affected just as tech was less affected by 2008.
Please reread your history if you think aviation wasn't important on the eastern front.

My god, Hitler tried to do an airlift to save the besieged defender of Stalingrad!
> It's objectively a terrible idea until a single coal power plants is still running anywhere in Europe (well approximately anyway...).

That's not an explanation or rationale. You just repeated a personal belief.

Do you have any rational basis to support that belief? Repeating "because I said so" doesn't make nuclear power more of an option, nor does it eliminate any of it's many problems.

> Unless that is you consider the value of human lives to be insignificant. 20-30 thousand people die in the EU alone because of coal, slowing down climate change is just a "free" bonus..

It should be good news to you then that Germany is also phasing out coal power along with nuclear then, with 2028 set as the deadline.

> Not building more nuclear plants before renewables became economically viable was a awful idea (...)

Reality does not agree with you, as proven by the fact that nearly half of Germany energy needs already come from renewable sources while Nuclear is already on its way out. It makes no sense at all to try to spin this problem as some clerical issue, specially now when renewables are a tremendous success.
You can value shop, like buy asparagus when it is $1.99/lbs and not when it is $4.99/lbs. I’m pretty picky at the store, and usually what’s on sale is fresher anyways. Your costs still go up, of course, but it keeps grocery stores on their toes at least.

We are all to blame for inflation: we just got addicted to cheap money, and were not willing to vote for longer term economic health, the politicians just gave us what we wanted.
> Why was the `dogs` array initialized as an `Animal[]` type instead of `Dog[]`

That might be your confusion: it wasn't. Its type is `Dog[]`.

> which would forbid the addition of a `Cat` type?

Why would that be forbidden? The problematic method is `append_animals`, which only cares that both arguments satisfy `Animal`, which both `Dog` and `Cat` do.

> Why would you be able to map a call to `woof` over an `Animal[]` when `Animal` doesn't implement `woof`

Back to your root confusion, since for all intents and purposes, `dogs.map` thinks it's an array of dogs, it doesn't complain.

If `append_animals` was written like this, things would be fine:

let append_animals = <T extends Animal>(animals: T[], animal: T) => animals.push(animal)
At least on BGW-320's, which are the modern routers for ATT fiber deployments, it keeps flows in the NAT table even if you use it in passthrough mode, although it doesn't actually do NAT, so you end up still being limited to 8192 sessions (not that that's typically a problem, but it does mean you can't e.g. run a big web server through your connection, and you can't use 3p fiber modems without some hacks).
"Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" (https://www.google.com/search/howsearchworks/our-approach/)

I believe Google earnestly worked on this for many years, but about a decade ago, after losing the lawsuit with Google Books, this moved to the back burner.

The number one issue to making information universally accessible and useful is no longer technical, it's legal. It's copyright law. Google is making quite a lot of money from the status quo, and is choosing profits over their stated mission. I can't blame them. They carried the torch quite far.

Now OpenAI is running with the torch. They pretty much said "FU" to copyright law and trained on everything anyway. (Which is a great thing!). And now, in many many cases, are delivering on Google's stated mission better than Google.
I can't imagine why you would not be able to run site JavaScript in sandboxed manner (it already is) - just throw in some additional limitations and you are done.

This will break JS on some sites but not all of them, but that is apparently not sufficient for Stallman & co.
Paul Graham has talked about the same thing a few times. Not necessarily ragging on Google so much as saying that the search space is ripe for disruption
In my experience of writing my BSc thesis in it, it's an absolute trainwreck to work with, especially with Overleaf. Takes forever to compile, won't ever give you a single useful error message, as for Tikz I'd much rather make a proper svg in literally anything else and then import it.

One can also produce amazing results programming in assembly, but I sure as fuck ain't doing that for anything I actually need to get done.
Another example would be the VST3 SDK.
"With the help of Worker Info Exchange and his union, Iftimie pursued Uber – and another ride-sharing app for which he worked, Ola – all the way to the court of appeal in Amsterdam, where Uber’s European headquarters is based."

Yet again we see that unions are important, as the only reason anything stopped uber in this case was their union. Every argument companies make against unions is false, the only reason they don't want unions is because it means they can't defraud and abuse employees (I mean "contractors").
I can't recall for certain, but I think in the book Zero to One, he made the case that monopolies can be beneficial for companies because they can devote their resources to developing new products and features rather than battling for market share in a single domain. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but I'm not completely convinced by this argument. Google did expand to other markets and did well in some (Android, YouTube, etc), but it seems to have been at the detriment to their main product.
Have you tried Bing+ChatGPt?

I found it exceptionally great.

It's not just that. There are purposes that require JPEG and so if I get a WEBP or AVIF or JXL I am actively angry.

I was trying to set the desktop background image on a project laptop last week. I found an image I liked, that would immediately remind me what machine this was when I look at it.

It was an AVIF. Windows 10 won't accept those as desktop backgrounds. It looked, for all intents and purposes, like the search image results were going to give me JPEGs -- the URL ended in .JPG and had "jpeg" as the media type! -- but that is not what I got. This did not work. Refusing to give up, I eventually determined that using curl to retrieve the image gave me a usable JPEG, and so I got my background and now I can tell this stupid project laptop apart.

For my use cases, which is as someone who does light work with images (backgrounds, occasional use in some kind of paint program, occasional insertion into documents or slides), anything that isn't a JPEG or PNG is actively harmful. Not everyone uses images the way I do, but developers need to remember that not everyone is a passive sheep who just stares at things or a power-developer who builds JPEG-XL from source in their sleep. There are people in between, and we don't take kindly to being forgotten.
Wait, why wouldn't they know the port? I'm not aware of any cases where the TCP header itself is encrypted.
Why wouldn't it work for CPU models?
Any chance you can upload those versions to archive.org?
I have seen the cancellation behavior quite frequently in London since the pandemic, so whatever penalty the drivers are getting, it's not enough in practice. Not just on Uber but on all their competition too which is just as terrible.

The problem is that as long as the competition is just as bad, it's cheaper for them to let this behavior continue and annoy all riders than actually clamp down on it and risk pissing off drivers for good.
Slowing Down AI: Rationales, Proposals, and Difficulties
Given your name, the practical answer is that there is no difference assuming they are properly selected and implemented in the circuit. The exception being the EI core and SE outputs, EI cores were the only ones made with airgaps last I was paying attention. Audio is just not as picky as some would like to make it out to be, sure a torroid in the power supply will let us get away with a more compact layout and make it easier to get the noise specs we want but it is not that difficult to do with an EI core. When you get down to it, they are each different in some vague but highly marketable way.

Edit: I am over simplifying things, there are differences but my point is that in audio work the design execution is what matters.
I think you might have written this comment on the wrong post
If this is the case, you’re effectively talking about replacing the internet with procedurally generated text.

That’s all well and good, but with no internet of blogs made by people … what will the AI be trained on?
How about Google focus on actually making their search results good again.

I have gotten increasingly frustrated with the results that even 6 years ago were more relevant.

When I put quotes around a specific phrase, I only want direct matches to those words first, before showing me anything else.

Yesterday an uncle was asking me if there are RV parks in SF or nearby. Google proceeds to show me a list of every dog park near my zip code instead. I quote "RV parks" and get similar. When I finally spelled out recreational vehicle parks, I got better results. And every result literally has "RV park" in the title. (Turns out there are 2 in SF. Candlestick park has bad reviews, and the link to the one in the Presidio is 404.)

In a year or two all of this AI stuff is going to calm back down when people finally realize that for other than a few product types, sprinkling "AI" onto everything like cheap MSG isn't going to make the core products any better.

I don't want a "personalized" search experience. I want accurate results for the damned thing I'm searching for. Those should be exactly the same results everyone else gets when looking for the same thing.

Hmm.. I couldn't manage to convince my wife to try out ChatGPT a few months ago, but last week she heard about it on the Japanese news and wanted to give it a go

I guess that means it managed to get to her the long way around human society, since Japanese evening TV news is pretty much at the rear end of any cultural developments..
In general, Europeans would prefer to not work and strongly support social safety nets. They "work to live" while we "live to work" with our protestant work ethic.

It's telling that America just gets richer and more powerful and Europe stagnates more and more.

Reap what you sow europoors. America shows you the power of the Protestant work ethic.
Like others, I heartily recommend the "Sold a Story" podcast. It explores this issue in depth, and you'll walk away with a more complex understanding that you'd have after reading this article alone. Case in point: "balanced literacy" is not exactly a "method of teaching," as portrayed by this article. Rather, it's a loose conceptual framework that teachers and other curriculum planners have used in many ways. In theory, it does include phonics as one of the 5 core components of reading, and I know teachers (myself included) who have taught balanced literacy programs with an emphasis on phonics.

On the flip side, this article is quick to point out that "science of reading" is not a specific program or curriculum, either. To see the many, many ways teachers have interpreted the "science of reading," just pop into any number of social media groups dedicated to this topic.
Disputes are regulated by the card network's rules and most have generous, consumer-friendly clauses.

The credit/debit card distinction is mostly a legal one (in certain countries, credit cards have extra protection regardless of the outcome of a card network dispute), but as far as I know the actual card network rules apply to all types of cards.

The only thing with Fi is that it is T-Mobile, and you'll always be in a lower priority block of customers compared to people paying for T-Mobile directly, which mean you'll see slower traffic in congested areas at peak times (including e.g. during rush hour traffic).
I did something loosely related. As a present for my girlfriend's birthday, I made her a "90s website" with AI portraits of her dog: https://simoninman.github.io/

That's interesting. I didn't know that whether fusion power would be available depends on room temperature superconductors.

> Team work makes the dream work.

Except there is no team, and people dream differently.

More often than not, open source creates problems for developers. See Rust's Actix framework.
That's not a robust defense.

Hide it in an alt text.

Stick it in the middle of an article and assume no-one will notice (because the article is so long they default to AI summarization).

Detect the AI crawler user-agent or IP range and serve different content to it.

Figure out how to write a paragraph of text which seems to a user to be normal prose but, when tokenized by an AI, has cleverly encoded instructions that it never-the-less acts on.

Be very careful throwing words like "trivial" around when talking about AI and security! This stuff is very, very hard.

This is only true if, like now, the entities controlling LLMs are research centres. I think its likely the future owners of LLMs have similar incentives to google to monetize the project.

My personal applications tend to use only monospaces fonts and stick to Latin characters so I can get away with glyph rendering and then a very simple layout algorithm so something like ab_glyph or freetype is enough and I don't need harfbuzz.

I'm aware of swash and the other libraries in that stack, but it was going through a rewrite. The Linux support was incomplete, for example, it was dependent on a piped call to fc-list and parsing the output to get the system fonts.

Also, if I were doing it via web, I'd be tempted to render to an offscreen canvas and call it a day.
I think LLMs will be like the steam powered toys of Ancient Rome: a curiosity that implies greater utility, but ultimately requires too many other discoveries to be made first in order to be put into practice.
