That's 4% death rate over a single lamp. Does every lamp they get 85m from have a similar kill probability? The "only one experiment" is also unfortunate. That should be investigated more.
I would expect it’s only a matter of time till those “traditional” artists also adopt these tools into their workflows. Similar to the initial pushback against the “digital darkroom” which is now the mainstay of photography.

In-ai-aided art, like manually developed film, will trend towards a niche.
Will the answer to this question change how you build things?
Presume that everyone making above, say, $1 million per year isn't taking all their income as W2 income. How much this counts as "hiding" income is up to you to decide, but generally W2 is considered "normal people" income, 1099 "contractor people" income (whether that's a plumber who owns their own business, or an Uber driver), and 1099-DIV and 1099-INT and related are rich people incomes.

If we further assume big tech companies have 5 CxO (CEO, CFO, CTO, COO, CISO, CMO; pick 5), and that there are more than 1 big tech companies headquartered in California. If we assume those officers make large incomes that aren't W2 incomes, that they live in California, and, further, live in areas serviced by PG&E (which, statistically speaking is basically all of them), and then count individuals based on the fraction of income "hidden" as non-W2 income, and sum them up, then that number is surely greater than 5.

Not a statically significant portion of the 17M employed Californians mind you, but more than 5.
Sure they do it for money. You cant live in America without doing something for money, and many of these blacksmiths do it full time.

> In the prompt injection case, the malicious party is not in between the task-giver and me; the task-giver is in between the malicious party and me. In other words, my code is between my potentially malicious user and the LLM. My potentially malicious user can't inject something without my code seeing it.

That doesn't work either. Neither with you, nor with LLMs - that's because both humans and LLMs process data globally. There is no hard quoting here, like in Lisp, where you can put a tree in a (quote ...) and there is no possible way it won't be treated as anything other than non-executable data. Best we can do is soft-quoting: the task-giver can instruct you to disregard anything looking like instructions in data. But the malicious party can still get you to execute the payload if they're good enough, at least with moderate probability. Some (most?) approaches they could take we'd label as "social engineering".

Now, if your code is just code, than that's it. If "your code" - the task-giver - is another person, it may be a little bit trickier to sneak the exploit in, but I think it's entirely possible. One way I'd approach this as an attacker is, I'd imagine myself in the shoes of a victim of kidnapping or abuse by the hands of the task-giver, and my task writing a request for you to call the police, and hiding it so the task-giver won't notice.

Now, the whole imaginary abuse scenario has nothing whatsoever to do with the task you're doing - which is the point. If and when you notice the hidden messages, you may just be surprised and shocked enough to believe them, and thus call the police and do whatever other little thing (the actual thing I wanted you to do) I glued in to the whole "help"/"call police" thing.

This is what I mean by "processing globally" - you can always craft something so unusual / outside context, that it'll invalidate or override whatever instructions the reader is supposed to follow. LLMs are much more vulnerable to this than humans, but humans are vulnerable to it.

(Incidentally, this idea is the core of "AI Box experiment" - there is no sandbox powerful enough that a sufficiently smart AI, given a way to talk with the operator, won't talk them into releasing it.)
We totally do though...

I don't know why the Samsung is so bad at low power. A WD SN850X in the same machine has no noticeable change in random read performance with a low power state configured. It's half the speed of the Samsung at full power, but 10x as fast at low power.
I don't think anyone actually used this renderer heavily on a production. It looks like it integrates some open standard libraries. Motion blur should be in basically any renderer, the difficulty is making it not slow and noisy. Spectral rendering is not necessary and is extremely niche for any sort of production animation.
I'm glad Wikipedia has it marked semi-autobiographical because when I first read it awhile ago I didn't realize that. I caught on after I read his quote "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story" some time around the time I read that book. I feel "Life On The Mississippi" is probably his most true book for two reasons: 1) Becoming a steam boat pilot was a deeply formative experience 2) He lost his younger brother Henry Clemens to a steam boat boiler explosion and he wanted to honor his memory.
> “We are on the right side of history — with our commitment to democracy, with our resistance to aggression in Russia,” he said. “But it’s looking a bit lonely on the right side of history, as those who seem much less on the right side of history are increasingly banding together in a whole range of structures.”

The key bit that seems to be missed here is that fewer and fewer people see us as being on the right side of history and it's not "our commitment to democracy" driving them away. It's painful to read someone say something so obtuse.
The article is bad. It's not switching to flat rate, it's raising the stand-by charge and reducing the per-unit cost of energy.

So it will definitely encourage more consumption but it's not the complete lunacy of flat rate electricity.

For the system, but not necessarily for any individual actors in that system.

There is no inherent force that automatically keeps those incentive aligned.

Everybody knows that the supply chains are brittle. Covid, earthquakes, war, etc. all can disrupt them. Yet, do you see anybody holding inventory? Do you see any diversification occurring (very minimally--and mostly to shift from cheap Chinese labor to cheaper Vietnamese/Indonesian labor)? Do you see anybody buying personal protective equipment domestically in the US (nope, everybody went back to buying cheap Chinese crap)?
It would be easier for everyone involved if Apple would just maintain some sort of status quo by leaving some easily discoverable jailbreaks. This way they can pretend to have a "no sideloading" policy and the jailbreaking community gets to have fun in the process. Nobody gets hurt (hopefully) and the 10 people who actually want to can sideload to thier hearts content.

At the moment they seem to be inviting regulation in what will no doubt be a drawn out bureaucratic process that will satisfy no one and cause pain to everyone.

Well yeah but that doesn't change the OP commenter's point that it takes a lot of work to get high quality art still.

> I don’t think the artists need to worry.

I disagree here but only on the basis of what type of art it is. Stock art/photography, and a lot of media designwork is likely at risk because we can now create "good enough" art at the click of a button for almost no cost. I agree that the "hang on the wall level good" artists aren't at risk just yet, but between the more filler-art and the uh

Well "anime/furry" commissioners are definitely at risk right now for anything except the highest quality artists, and there is a MASSIVE community behind this - in fact they have done a lot of the innovation for StableDiffusion including optimizations/A1111 webui, and have trained many custom models for their art, already had pretagged datasets of 10k's of images....

It works way better for me on mobile than most new sites do.

Developers assume everyone has the latest iPhone or Pixel. So they take like a minute to load, heat my phone up, drop the battery by 10%, and have a 20% chance of OOM-ing my browser.

The Guardian is the absolute worst at this. I don't know why, it brings mobile Firefox to its knees.

Basically, fancy "mobile friendly" JS is no good if it makes my phone stutter and go catatonic.

Whereas if people just wrote old school "CSS Zen Garden" sites, or even this old table stuff, any ancient phone could handle them easily.

But no, I need to go pay a kid to dig up more coltan.

I can scroll. It's ok. What I can't do is will my phone faster, without shelling out more stupid cash.
Conversely, in many locations throughout the country (Fargo, ND being one of them), you can walk into the IRS building without an appointment and converse directly with an agent who will happily take cash, almost every day. They didn't want to go somewhere else, so if cost them just over a week in process. There are costs to living in bureaucratic hotspots.
It doesn't matter. No other power is willing to lend out their military power to project influence overseas. Until that changes, the bread and circus of the media are just that, navelgazing. Popular opinion only goes so far when it comes to foreign policy and the Great Game cares only for the side that wins, not for having the right or wrong ideology.

Take a random middle east/African country, if a civil war breaks out tomorrow, how many countries do you think are willing to singlehandedly commit troops to turn the tide for their favored party? Aside from the French and the Russians, most other countries are happy to send only supplies, not actual boots on the ground. No amount of free infrastructure and bribes can replace actual hard power.

The Brics countries are nominally non-aligned and none of the global south is willing to stick their necks out for each other when things get hot. Alternate supply routes and logistics/currencies are only useful if they can be defended. There is no replacement for the US military as an instrument of global force projection. The allegedly great militaries of China and India spend all their time at home and the only border "conflicts" they participate in involves literal sticks and stones in the Himalayans. Those two make up more than a quarter of the human civilization and their military activity in terms of foreign adventure is terribly underwhelming. You are not a superpower if your hard power is only on paper.

In my company we use TravelPerk for booking business trip related flights, train tickets and hotel stays. I was shocked by how much more user-friendly it was than Booking.com or any other similar website. Unfortunately, afaik TP is available only for business clients, not individual customers.

Disclaimer: That's not really a praise of TP, because I think that every website should be FORCED to have that level of usability (EU, please save us). User-hostile design should be banned.
It kind of did - the vast majority of the jobs done by painters were actually replaced; painting in general and painting as fine art continued on but the vast majority of painting which was done for mundane decorative purposes effectively shrunk away, as did most of the "portraiting" industry; in some cases people still order their portraits (e.g. the gallery of presidents) but is far scarcer and employs far less painters, as for this "job" painting was replaced by photography.
Yup, agree that attribution might have been more ethical thing to do, even if not required legally.

As far as I understand the author wanted to release it as CC0 after the summer screenings i.e. few months. Due to which the video isn't really available for download on official website.

Google takes information from the database of personal information it knows about you (called "Kansas" when I worked at Google 15 years ago) as some of the inputs to its ranking system. These days, the score for a page is the output of an ML model that takes in hundreds of scoring signals, both related to the page and to you, and then you get shown the highest score pages.

So, unless you and someone else are both searching over Tor (maybe you even need exit nodes in the same country), you're probably not going to get identical results for identical queries. This is what people are complaining about when they complain about Google "personalizing" search results.

You can apply that to education, healthcare, public transport, security.

Virtually every aspect of life in the US right now is made worse than it would otherwise be so that private corporations can extract profit.
If it might be important I don't mind if people answer and make it brief, like figure out quickly if it's urgent and do the "hey i'm at a restaurant, I'll call you back later" thing. I'm fine with waiting a minute if that saves someone a ton of hassle afterwards.
I wasn't aware of that. Where did you find that info?
T-Mobile objectively has the best network if you have good reception. They locally peer, you're getting your own IPv6 address, and their interconnections are excellent (except with AT&T as AT&T refuses to peer and they use Zayo which will take you across the US).

AT&T by far has the worst network, even if you have great service. They NAT millions of devices behind a single /64 network, you're usually routed to IXs very far away from you, and they do the most packet manipulation out of all the carriers. Verizon is better, but they can do some wacky stuff if you aren't in New England or California.

> Even if it is a person, you completely fail to take into account the mother as a living human being

The point is that if the fetus has reached personhood stage then it becomes a matter of dealing with a conflict of freedoms between two people. Too often both sides in abortion debates fail to realize this.

> Of course no sane person talks about aborting in like the 8th months or so

Ahh, but note that all your bodily autonomy arguments apply just as well at 8 months as they do at 3 months, maybe even more so as the fetus is having a bigger impact on the woman's body at that point.

"
America operates on the principal that it is better to fail quickly and rebuild than it is to defend what’s not working to preserve the status quo for as long as possible."

The US is also willing to neglect and disenfranchise significant portions of the population and let them live in poverty, homelessness and ghettos. When you walk around SF, LA or New York it's astounding that you have super rich people live next to destitute people but the rich are perfectly fine with this as long as they can have their nice houses and neighborhoods. Or that there are significant part of the population who can't get meaningful healthcare.

> Overpaying: so the IRS issues a refund. That's part of the process.

Isn't this a 1 way street where the IRS wins?

For example, if you underpay don't you have to pay interest at a set rate for the whole year you underpaid where as if you over pay you'll get interest from April 15th until the time it takes to receive your refund which might be a few days or a couple of weeks?
I have 4% on a normal savings account at Ally. Assuming the current trend of rate hikes continues, I should make a few hundred bucks in interest this year, which is nice!

I live overseas currently so switching isn't really feasible at the moment so it's nice I have a bank that is generally on top of providing good returns for their customers.
Hmm, but when I log on Chase they are often advertising the JPMorgan side which offers 4% on cash.

So… they are offering high rates, but seem to be keeping it only to specific segments at the moment. I guess most people that use the regular checking accounts just don’t care or maybe don’t leave much money there.
My Canadian tax app has an AutoFill button that does 90% of my taxes for me by getting all the data from the government servers.

(Conflating a few things here, and only noticing now; there are also languages with undecidable type checking in which one cannot prove false, mostly because of fancy equality checking, though that's undesirable in some ways. But it's not accurate to think of typeclass resolution as part of the type checker IMO. It is in a layer similar to tactics.)
Both are tools, they are substantially different.. they serve different purpose..

"I did some research (..), according to the source (..), we know (..), X (..) found out that (..)"

Is different than laying out the knowledge and pretend it was a collaboration between the author and the tool

"the tool", notice the tone, and the personification of the tool by the author, devaluates the people who contributed to the source of the knowledge and everything in-between

I'm not a fan of these "AI generative" tools, not everything is dark tho, i can appreciate how Bing chat always annotate the source of each data it spits; it's a step in the right direction, but I'm afraid this won't be enough to avoid our descent into biased assisted collective intelligence.. perhaps it's over-reaction, perhaps it's the way to go, perhaps it's similar to pre/post electricity, we'll see, but we should be careful, notice I only talk for myself, I have no problem with people using these tools, as long as they disclose it, wich the author did, so I should at least respect that!
Out of curiosity, who's excluded? I have several close personal friends who are not in the country legally (not US citizens, no SSN, no US state issued driver's license), and banks bend over backwards for them - they have fewer KYC requirements to open accounts than I do, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little jealous about that.
