Wouldn't that depend on perspective? Wouldn't the router e.g. cloudflares purpose be to ensure fast delivery and that it's not an attack.

Both require capturing the ip address and analyzing behavior. A faster road where no one wants to go isn't a faster way, so the router needs to capture it so they know where to build their roads.

Old Web, Today
There are some rule of thumbs that I've come across in the literature and from personal experience on how one can tell when A and B are actually different and only superficially similar.

- If a hypothetical competitor implements A differently, will they by necessity also implement B differently in the same way? If not, it's likely A and B are actually different things.

- People in the organisation likely disagree (even if just gently) on some aspects of the design or requirements of both A and B. If you assign people to camps, and the camps don't overlap strongly when first considering A, then B, then it's likely A and B are actually different things.

- Can people in the organisation imagine a useful change to A that doesn't require a corresponding change to B? Then it's likely A and B are actually different things.

And the opposite:

- Does A support two entirely disparate sets of operations, where each component only ever uses operations from one set and not the other, then maybe A is actually two different things A and B.

In arguing for keeping things separate in peer reviews, I have found test 3 to be the most easily convincing, i.e. giving a concrete example of a useful change to one that wouldn't necessarily result in a change to the other.

----

It's also worth considering that sometimes it's not a matter of A and B being entirely different or the same thing, but rather that they should both be built on a common abstraction C that we just haven't thought of yet (and may not for another few months until we see another example that would need it, that happens to trigger the right neural pathway to conjure C up in the mind).

----

That said, when in doubt, I still think it's better to err on the side of combining into one. It's far easier to split up a thing that has been combined too far than it is to ensure to always co-evolve things that have been accidentally split up too far. (And then deal with the consequences when they have drifted apart despite not meaning to.)
Makes sense, right, as you need to have a sufficient area to capture rainwater. Depends on the interpretation of `small` and `river`.
"Hey, people used to put up with that shit" isn't exactly a winning argument.

Very true. I was specifically talking about medical arrogance as a phenomenon, but of course, arrogance and choosing to remain close-minded is common in people.

Almost everyone could benefit from being more receptive, observing, and open to new ideas. The most open-minded people I ever met spoke most of how much more observant and receptive they would like to be.
A good rule of thumb is "if one of these were to change in the future, would it be expected that the other one would change in the same way?" (where change can mean a bugfix or can mean a change in required behaviour).
For people that want to have that style, I like to show them how to convert them into local functions if the language has that feature. At least that way they can't be accidentally misused (as easily... :)
> if they don't want to sell you something because you are anonymous, they have the right to reject your browser requests. Thats an important cornerstone of capitalism.

Maybe in a perfect world where healthy competition is a thing. But (potentially due to under-regulation elsewhere) that's not what we have in practice - for a lot of services, you only really have a choice between a handful of providers, and you're out of luck if they all decide to stalk and spam you.

Competition is not currently an effective solution to data protection, so something else was needed. The GDPR's approach to it is to outlaw personal data and spam as a payment method - you can't make non-functionally-required data processing mandatory for using a given service or product. I think it's a good approach - less spam, tracking and incentives for hoarding personal data is always a good thing.

> They can train that model and throw away the training data, and then hand that model off to any regulator that is going to have no idea what to do with a bunch of floats in matrices, and claim that there is no user data stored in there, and nobody could prove otherwise.

At least in theory, the regulator should be able to see through that scheme. But even if let's assume they actually did train an ML model and got away with it, the GDPR mandates that users should be able to decide how their personal data is processed, so they can just not opt into targeted advertising, and their personal data must not be processed using that model. The model can be there, it'll just sit unused.
Privacy or security?
Oh shit, I remember the stages now, not much about them though. Did you really install Gentoo if you didn't compile the compiler you used to compile the rest of the system from the ground up though?
How so? Inflammatory would mean it's either irrelevant, unfair or harmful in some way. Stating a correction to a fact is hardly either.

If someone stated that the attack on Pearl Harbor happened in 1945 and someone else corrected them that it happened in 1941, is that inflammatory?

Edit: Maybe you're referring to it being called a "war" in the first place is inflammatory? I'd give you that, and we'd be better off calling it a conflict as none of the parties formally declared war, but then we start veering into semantics instead...
I would say not worth the investment unless you know you will be working on very computer sciencey things.

Having said that, I have the first 3 volumes in my shelf and I do look at them occasionally. But I mostly like having them just because they are so iconic. Shallow yes, but makes me happy.
Cyprus and Ireland

French is official language of France, Belgium, Luxembourg and parts of Italy.

Reality of course is that English is (ironically) the Lingua Franca of the world.

Native English speaker that learned Spanish at 25 - now in my 40s and speak it with my wife and family. Inner monologue changed pretty quickly depending on context - long before I was fully fluent. Now flips to Spanish when I’m reading or watching something in Spanish or been with people speaking it. The hilarious thing to me is my accent still has the same faults internally and is actually worse. I can’t roll my rs in my head though I can actually do it without effort physically.

Our kids are natively bilingual, they are little but I’ll ask them about it today. Very curious how they say they think.

Eh I think it's untrue prose wise, and I can buy a non-anthropomorphizing argument that ChatGPT can be creative with language use. However I don't think it's untrue when it comes to being truly creative with ideas.

If you ask it about less well established research (but still well known about within whatever scientific community circa 2021) it utterly fails to reason about it or be creative about it at all. It often says wrong things but forgetting that it just doesn't coherently put together different ideas that weren't in its training set IME. Like well below the bar for a conversation with an average lay person about whatever biology topic.

Tbf I haven't tried this much with ChatGPT4, but initial impressions weren't great and I played around with the original release quite a bit. I'd say I was impressed with the language but very rarely with the content.
Are there ML models that are trained while being used? Humans learn as we go along, but this "train and deploy" that's so common doesn't seem sustainable.

If it can't be done online, then it shouldn't be that difficult to save the output for each week and then finetune the production model on that each weekend, right? Especially if there are humans correcting the faulty or uncertain outputs.

I think this paper is a joke but like all good jokes has a grain of truth. I would imagine that most AI academics are very excited by recent developments, if you worked on conversational language models you are more likely to view recent progress at OpenAI as a vindication than a threat. That said there must be some sadness that it wasn't you.

>initial ignorance about a foreign culture in earlier times and lack of general education

I upvoted your comment because I agree with it in the context of the parent, but this ending explanation is frankly ridiculous. It sounds like early Slavs had no idea that Germanic tribes had their own languages which is just plain impossible. Proto-Slavic němъ meant also unintelligible/hard to understand. So contrary to popular opinion those Slavic words for Germans doesn't (and didn't) mean mute (or "cannot speak"), it's just that in modern Sl. languages words stemming from němъ evolved to indicate mostly muteness.
Bookmarked for inspiration. This was seriously refreshing even if I hope most corporate websites won't copy it.

I don't buy the argument that you don't want Amazon or Facebook to track you, but you are ok with Apple or Google tracking you.

In case its not clear, because Im really doubting that people have a good grasp of privacy here, when you buy an Iphone, it phones home quite a bit collecting pieces of data about you that Apple can and does use internally for their advertising purposes, and you cannot opt out of it.
For now, up until the models can effectively maintain themselves, and then the money goes to whichever AI companies said engineers helped entrench unless there's a new taxation scheme on AI based on displaced labor.

No the winning argument is that GDPR does nothing to protect the people, therefore its pointless.
That is pretty dismissive, do you have anything to back that up? Just saying one group is so out there it isn't worth arguing is typical when someone doesn't actually have an answer. I have found the opposite, the people that are dismissing that AI can be conscious or sentient, also don't have any definition for those terms. It's just the same "i think therefore i am" self viewpoint. I've found this typically with programmers that have never been introspective. Since they are familiar with programming, and GPT is programmed, thus obviously it can't be conscious, that's ridiculous. They don't take the time to try and understand where their own thoughts come from and then turn around and are dismissive that thoughts can be had by anything other than a carbon based animal.

"Big web" isn't a term. It's some vague unspecified idea that you may have.

> By definition their stance is 100% about "a big web".

By what definition?

Of course this is not Firefox's stance.
> And pausing game play to show you ads...well, that would certainly never fly.

TV has been doing popup ads for years and I am quite sure many Android games also do it. Then you have ads that could be directly embedded into the game play or the games environment itself, a port to Stadia was necessary anyway, so adding ad support could have been done as part of that.

Of course having a streaming platform filled to the brim with the unending amount of cheap ad supported android game clones this would have attracted would have hardly made any sense. No need for Stadia if the games already run natively on the only supported endpoint.
I run Buttondown (buttondown.email) full-time now, but until this past year it was a side project for me alongside my day job as an IC (later EM).

It took...around two and a half years, I think, to hit $2k/mo MRR. It was definitely not the stereotypical "launch → iterate a bit → boom, PMF" story that you often hear, which was fine because it was 'just' a side project and I didn't have to worry about running out of money or time.
Yea people on here get so worked up about coding interviews lol, if you were a successful competitive programmer I am going to be very likely to hire you, just like how I'd be very likely to hire a Google SWE with 10 yoe.

Its just another signal of aptitude, its not some magical catch all heuristic. However, people here suddenly expect like they are allowed to forget all the (very fundamental) basics and get into a job that involves coding without any coding at all. Now that leads to a bad hire.
Why is it not viable, do you believe that the costs will exceed the potential benefits even with the improvements that it offers ?
If I understand your proposed world correctly (I understand it as morally equivalent to the escrow of ~all keys with k-of-n split across some well-chosen entities/people), I expect a person holding that view to support encryption-by-default even more strongly, because in a world that looks that way (and that way actually works as described) there is no apparent downside to that. I'm curious whether you disagree with any part of this.

OT: Do you have anything more concrete written on the choice of holders of escrow shares (so that they can be trusted to actually follow the audit rules)?
They could probably spy on users in a GDPR-compliant way. GDPR isn't about not tracking users, it is about protecting their personal data. All that analytics providers must do in principle is make sure to never associate certain types of data (phone numbers, names, addresses, and similar) to the user fingerprint they use for advertising.

As far as I understand (and I could be wrong), the cookie notices exist because analytics providers do not guarantee that this personal data won't be associated with the cookie fingerprint in their systems. Cookies themselves are only mentioned once in relation to this in the GDPR text:

> Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags. This may leave traces which, in particular when combined with unique identifiers and other information received by the servers, may be used to create profiles of the natural persons and identify them.

If the advertising ID/fingerprint was kept unassociated with personal data capable of identifying a natural person, there would be no need for the cookie notice in my understanding. However, I am not a lawyer.
It's interesting they chose those 4 domains, those are notoriously hard problems to begin with. And financial markets in particular self-correct themselves all the time. I'm pretty confident that whatever ML models they tried to test on those datasets would degrade over time. But title feels buzzword-ish for sure.
The language cetainly seems to like using that 'dot' operator:

.optimize = optimize,

I think the main problem with Nazis is the Holocaust. If Nazis hadn’t murdered 20M+ people, they would be way lower on my level of caring.

The social norms changes were bad because they led to gas chambers, not because they just had dangerous selfish ideals. There’s lots of groups pushing dangerous selfish ideals (eg, Instagram influencers and culture of affluence worship) but Nazis are bad because of their history of kicking in my door and taking my family away to death camps.

How much did they pay this Microsoft puppet to shill this AGI bullshit?

Adding more data into a LLM doesn’t make it any closer to AGI. It just will regurgitate more nonsense with it not explaining or reasoning about its own decisions. It is the same black-box scam behind an API.

When I see bouts of euphoria and hype, it means that the market needs to wipe out more participants like this one. Maybe we do need a bigger crash and a new recession after all.

We have not learned our lesson in the last AI winter.
When an AI "outperforms" the "ground truth", it is by definition "worse", not "better".

And if your ground truth is problematic, then this is generally a problem of specification and quality control, not performance.
