> but you assume that your opinions aren't formed from a preexisting body of knowledge from which your past self has learnt and internalized.

Of course opinions are partially formed by preexisting knowledge learnt by your past self. But the fundamental difference between yourself and an ML model, which TFA touches on, is that an ML model stops learning after training whereas your past self did learn and your current self continues to learn. “Learn” here means something akin to updating the model weights of your brain. And you see this in practice. Ask ChatGPT about something not in the training set and it doesn’t answer well whereas a human is capable of learning about a topic and incorporating that knowledge in the future.
Mostly it's the same general arguments that Dawkins addresses, modified in various ways to address counter arguments, though I recall Plantinga in particular having some novel arguments that I believe were covered in Martin's book. Some of these were quite interesting, even if not convincing (to me). However, I couldn't give you the specifics as it has been a long time since I tried to engage with theistic apologetics. If you are interested then I'd suggest checking out the two books that I mentioned, as they cover the subject in depth.

They don't take a moral stand on a lot of things. Most of the large companies in the world are deeply immoral, but we draw the line at bribing, in a culture that encourages it?

I'd argue that it's a WTO problem, let's just cut of all ties to countries where bribing in any form is acceptable, leaving us with what? The Nordic countries and New Zealand?

I'm not arguing that it's not an issue, but what would you have them do exactly? The bribing isn't going to disappear because Microsoft says no. Africa will just be running on Red Star OS and Tecent Cloud.

Obviously AI academics are uniquely challenged by the 'scaling is (nearly) everything' reality, but I feel like a lot of the mixed emotions being expressed towards the latest results are also because we're actually seeing the mystery of self starting to unravel. Like any good mystery, the fun was in the build up and as we move towards a resolution there's a bitter sweet aspect to the slightly mundane reality of it 'merely' being an emergent property of large networks. Of course, any rational person might have expected this given how the one working example came into existence. In general it all looks like a pretty resounding endorsement of the David Chalmers position to me.

> The flaw in this approach is that it still hinges on identifying data. While it serves as a good compliance and security measure, it doesn't alter anything significant from GDPR's standpoint. The same applies to competitive solutions like Plausible or Fathom.

This is where the technical compliance meets legal compliance. There is always a risk of breach and malicious actors circumventing even the most advanced technical solutions.

It is not full proof, but having SIGNED Data Processing Agreement can go a long way in case of such a violation. It won't help with technical lapses, but can save your business, by pointing at the legal obligation of your data processor for them to take some heat.

Having a partner from a country with a compatible legal system helps a lot in the execution of such an agreement. We no longer deal with non-EU/EEA entities and avoid anyone who uses US-cloud for data processing. The risk is just not worth it. Not to mention, this simplifies Transfer Impact Assessment.
Well, for example, the leading cause of death of children in the United States is guns. That is certainly not something I would’ve expected, but it’s true. So I guess in this case, it was equally surprising.

There are a lot of things that can cause people to die, so it just seemed like an odd one to be at the top.
My personal take on this: only humans are creative. If a human is using ChatGPT as a tool then that is creativity. Same as using a sampler or DJing or saying a urinal is art (found objects).

If the process does not involve a human, we simply do not call it creative, even if it is the same (which it is not clear it is).
The reason those seem starkly at odds is not likely to be a result of devotion so much as the tyrannical structure that typically surfaces around the former persuasion, compelling (usually by continual threat) such affirmations repeatedly.
The complaint isn't about any particular treatment but rather about a lack of basic respect for patients. I once had a doctor tell me I was lying because studies show that only 10% of patients had that side effect. There are systems that are supposed to help find previously unnoticed side effects but I wonder how many doctors are actually using them when some have such strong reactions to known and not even that uncommon side effects. Of course, patients can also incorectly attribute something to a medication and doctors need to take that into account as well but repeated challenge gives a better idea. Some particularly strong effects, like that prompted the doctor's comment in my case, are rather obvious when they being shortly after starting the medication and stop shortly after the medication stops. Patients need to be ready to decline treatment if doctors aren't listening or there can be major, even deadly, results.

When you're dealing with SQL you're dealing with items in sets, and really all you're doing is joining, slicing and filtering sets of data to obtain the results you want, perhaps with some extra sugar like aggregation, but in the main it's groups of objects and that's quite intuitive.

On the opposite side is object-orientation where you're dealing with instances of objects. Very intuitive when dealing with properties of an instance (perhaps columns in a table for a particular instance) but not when dealing with multiple instances. Instances of objects don't really gel with sets of objects for various reasons - this class of problems is known as object-relational impedance mismatch (Ireland et al, 2009; Colley et al, 2020). This is why ORMs are often used for development, as a smooth translation layer between object-orientation and set-orientation. Each paradigm is perfectly good within its own context, but they are not particularly compatible approaches.

That word doesn't mean what you think it means. What those instructions explain is (1) removing macOS permissions, (2) removing logs/temporary files, (3) removing config. These are normal things that some may want to keep after uninstalling the program. Calling it bloatware is misleading and dilutes the meaning for things that are actually bloatware.

This is not a novel position. Ghost writers and biography writers exist.

Why not make ChatGPT you ghost writer? Tell it what to talk about. Tell it to adjust it to reflect you. And then do the final draft yourself.

Obviously if you ask ChatGPT to just write you a book the result will be pants.
The main reason many people abandoned Firefox was because everything about Chrome was faster and more responsive. Render engine performance matters more than implementing APIs that one or two websites may ever use for anything other than browser fingerprinting. Servo was abandoned by Mozilla but the improvements to the browser engine that did make it into Firefox have sped up the browser significantly. They were the reason for a whole bunch of "check out Firefox it's fast again" posts all across the internet.

I care more about my browser being fast than I do about it supporting WebMIDI or WebSerial and I think most users agree with that. Performance and efficiency are also the reason (as far as I can tell) that macOS users stick with Safari.
How about just talking as much time as possible?

Books are always boring, especially ebooks. Games can not be creative, except of maybe sport activities.

In that case I prefer bribes. I prefer paying people rather than bureaucracies.
Alright playing the devil's advocate. even though I'm against both forms obviously.

yes, "legal bribes" go by many names depending on the target, amount and place.

tips, lobbying, political donations, promises, non-political donations/gifts to a "friend", funding, an implicit promise to land a comfy job after gov, etc ...

the difference between the west and other places is that in the west when you try to screw over other people, you design legal frameworks and loopholes that make said bribes legal and rightful and other shenanigans that diffuse the trail while places like the middle east and elsewhere it's more straight forward and has less abstraction layers, they look you in the eye smile and let you know that their screwing you.

the western model is better because you don't have to deal with the emotional reaction that comes from the humiliation and injustice face to face, and if you're not observing enough you might not even notice it if you want.

you can take a lot bribes and translate them into more acceptable/familiar language:

- bribing a waiter to not mess with your food: customer service tip.

- bribing a local government worker to give you a document that's rightfully your and skip your a lot of BS round-trips across many desks: an express lane service a la TSA preCheck/ Airlines Priority queues that helps people vote with their wallet about the urgency of the getting that document.

- having a bribe someone to land some big contract: an auction mechanism where bidders display the seriousness of their commitment to the project with their wallets.

- bribing a government official to not enforce a rule or interpret it in specific ways or create new regulation that just happen to be in your favor: lobbying

the list can go on.
> Like any good mystery, the fun was in the build up and as we move towards a resolution there's a bitter sweet aspect to the slightly mundane reality of it 'merely' being an emergent property of large networks.

I would disagree with this description. An "emergent property of large networks" would be something that just appears when you wire together a large network.

To get intelligent behavior, it's not sufficient to wire together a large neural network. You also need to use an optimizer to train it on a large data set.
Considering this repository started its life in 2014, maybe here's the place where all started, and helped incubating said containers and distro support over the years?

Considering it has 858 forks incl. by corporations like WD Semi and SiFive, I think I'm not too far off in my guess.

There are certainly many bad things happening this way, but it's a far cry from the undeniably clear transaction structures of "those in control of formalities will block everything forever unless the inofficial tax is paid as well"
Okay, as far as I understand this writeup.

There are two sides, userspace UDP socket to receive wg packets on. Then the tap file descriptor to receive unencrytped packets from the host OS.

To speed up the userspace UDP socket it's desirable to use UDP_GRO flag on RX, and UDP_SEGMENT flag on TX. `tx-udp-segmentation` is a HW help for the latter. No need for any checksums and stuff. This is just speedup for userspace "classic" UDP socket.

However, buffering with UDP_GRO is interesting, since you need to pass potentially large 64KiB buffer to kernel since you don't know how large the next GRO-packet is. (this is a digression)

On the tap side, the article implies they enabled TUN_F_TSO4, which is a magical offload flag on tun interface. With it it is possible to get large pakets form the host OS. This is where it gets interesting. If you get a very large block from the host, like say 14KiB or larger.... how do you push it to the wireguard socket? I guess it's nececesary to packetize it back to small-MSS packets before encrypting. That means recreating TCP headers (with seq numers) and filling the checksum. This sounds like "fun".

The same on TX side towards the host... if you get a number of TCP segments from the wg tunnel, decrypt them.... do you push them as one large TUN_F_TSO segment to tun? or do you push one-by-one and rely on the kernel to GRO them? I didn't quite get it from the article. Or maybe it's possible to send large packets over wg without segmentation?

The same discussion is about UDP. With UDP you can use TUN_F_USO, however, this is only available in kernel 6.2. This might be why there arent' too many UDP numbers in the article.

This is, in practice, not true — good writing doesn’t emerge spontaneously, it’s nurtured by reading other good writing. As Cormac McCarthy put it, "the ugly fact is books are made out of books."
I had to take some training at work on not doing exactly that. I guess the regulators are on to the little scam.

The Zig build system is now able to run tasks in parallel. To avoid overloading the system (ie to prevent OOM) it asks you to define MaxRSS for each task, resulting in pretty sweet usage consumption: https://ibb.co/FW9kpxT

On a M1 Ultra studio (the same from my screenshot above) it takes me 6 mins to run the entire compiler test suite for arm64-linux (I do development in a Linux VM), which is pretty sweet.

Note that this is one stepping stone for getting good performance from Zig, but it's not yet incremental compilation with in-place binary patching [1]. That's still a work in progress.

This. If you really wanna overhear some casual racism in the US learn to speak Spanish.

And for the most part the people of all races that say these things aren't racist in that they believe in inherent superiority or anything. They're more critiquing culture that just so happens to follow (loosely, obviously we're using a broad brush here) race but in a way that isn't articulate and narrowly scoped enough to pass muster with the white collar crowd. They're basically shitting on other race groups in the same way that all the trades on a job site shit on each other.

This kind of bring us full circle to the whole classism thing...

Replying to comments about our web page design
Oh so it's anecdotal.

Well my anecdotal evidence tells me my broken smart phones end up in my box of old electronics.

I don't service my devices through the telcos. I use prepaid plans and phones. Many people do. That's why department stores sell them. Because there's a customer base that needs them.

I sincerely doubt many 40 dollar off the shelf phones are being recycled.

Many people also likely find it stupid to pay someone to change a battery when we can do it ourselves.

I think a more reasonable compromise here is that we can probably both agree that recycling in general needs massive improvements. i.e. make it incredibly easier for people to recycle or remove the choice from the consumer completely.

P.s. if it's Schrödingers e-waste it's inherently 50-50 on what happens to it so it's not as bad.

And if small amounts add up then arguably devices+batteries in landfill are worse than just battery.

I feel like there's a difference between prompt engineering, and just plain being good at prompting. Prompt engineering is when you code up stuff in things like langchain and pinecone to query documents or databases the model wasn't trained on. Being good at prompting is not a unique skill, it just takes experience with the model. Whereas engineering a way to prompt the model in way you aren't able to - that is prompt engineering. Or maybe prompt hacking?
