I've been in Hamburg and found these mini-bus. They are kind of passenger vans, but with specific interiors for easy operations for a bus-like usability.
They are autonomous, but with a driver for test-legal-security reasons.
Routes are on demand, not fixed. So it's like the Carriot service (long time ago, when web 2.0 was a thing) but now aiming for self driving.
Interesting, among other things, is that it's a Volkswagen company, but a totally new brand and the busses-vans have no VW brand nor exterior design, they are full new designed vehicles.
I think it is because once somebody "buys into" the false information they now in a sense "own it".

Once they have the faulty information they often spread it to others. Therefore they do not want it to be proven wrong, because they don't want to be proven wrong because that would prove that they have been spreading incorrect, unreliable information. That would mean that they can not be trusted. So, there is a lot pf resistance against correcting the incorrect information.
I'm tempted to say that claiming it's naivete to expect people to do work to evaluate a research paper is naive, as well as ad hominem. If you don't have the time or expertise to do so, then do the rest of us a favor and don't try.

Now, if you're talking about using such criteria as a heuristic to decide which papers to put effort into evaluating, then we have another discussion to have.
You mean 6 7-figure salaries
Very well-articulated. I finally felt like I was bouncing back when I just accepted not giving a fuck and doing the absolute minimum to fulfill whatever the goals seem to be of whoever's deciding on them.

Do they care about rendering performance? No? Well then I'm sure as hell not goimg to lose sleep over it, and if it seems actively harmful to customers *that I've met* then it's just a place to leave.

There's always a budget, there's always better quality, but if you're the one paying for it in time and energy, and you don't really have a stake in the outcome, the correct answer is "fuck it". Do not care about transactional work more than you need to within the scope that's set forth.
So this has nothing to do with the Plan 9 Rio windowing system?

Well, you don't have that much choice of CPU manufacturers, if you want a 65W+ performance class CPU, so you do the best you can.

But anyway, there are many manufacturers that were happy to sell widgets without internet-connected software, and compete on the quality and price of those widgets in a fairly honest way. But when it became possible to embed software that can send data to the internet somehow, well various departments just could not resist demanding their engineers do so. Support costs can be massively reduced if you can just see what the stupid user did and remote in with the backdoor key and fix their misconfigured router/vpn/appliance (true story). And your marketing and product-planning teams are just severely hobbled by not having all the telemetry they can dream of, there's just millions wasted on team salaries and marketing spend if they can't get that user data sent to the SAAS marketing/crm tool they want. But when a car didn't have internet-connected computers in it, they just had to do without.

We trust CPU manufacturers to act like reasonable companies. They make some good stuff, that's how they make money. They're not fly-by-night ventures. They can't risk the huge investments in their brand and their business. And they're not malicious spies trying to screw with you via very tricky microcode. But if they can conveniently put some value-add in the hidden support cpu because the marketing or support team really needed it ...
The worst I've seen on reddit's front page (on mobile) was an auto-played video of a kid playing with a gun, accidentally shooting her brother in the head, then taking her own life without hesitation. It happened within seconds seconds of autoplay. But if you try to open an NSFW link, like that one was, the site blocks it and tells you to use the app to see NSFW content. Reddit sucks.
How is that stealing exactly ? Looks more like state agents "stealing" again by using their legal powers
Not sure I would take that lesson away from history. There were quite a few voices in the US military at the end of WW2 that recognized that peace with the soviets was tenuous at best and wanted to push the nuclear advantage right then. The US was unmatched for 4 years until the Soviets had their first nuclear test. Had they chose to use nuclear weapons, they could have become a global empire and no one could have stopped them.
I don’t see why it wouldn’t be designed that way. Every other car is designed to run when non critical systems break.

I also find it amazing that human societies survive at all. it would be interesting to find the answer to what is the minimum inefficiency required for a complex system to stop functioning. Of course, this question itself needs more precision, but you get the idea. For example, I've been in traffic jams in some cities with terrible infrastructure. Seems like a total hopeless chaotic mess, and yet at the end of the day everyone gets to their destination.
Of course, here "clean themselves" means

To activate the system, a simple electrode passes just above the solar panel’s surface, imparting an electrical charge to the dust particles, which are then repelled by a charge applied to the panel itself. The system can be operated automatically using a simple electric motor and guide rails along the side of the panel.

So it's not exactly the cells cleaning themselves, imo. I wonder how well blowing (lightly) compressed air would work in comparison, since you're already sweeping past all the cells that sounds simpler.
Nat Friedman who I have a ton of respect for went on a tweet spree about SF and crime rates when this happened but hasn’t tweeted anything about this revelation. Not that he has to but I do see hints of bias and now I second guess my feelings about his opinions more often.
There’s something charming about a website being tied to something physical like how this one requires sunny weather, reminds me of the blog post “I wish my web server were in the corner of my room” https://interconnected.org/home/2022/10/10/servers

although if this site is truly meant to be environmentally friendly I feel like that’s completely negated by the fact it uses lithium ion batteries, switching to lithium for such a low power project just moves the environmental damage somewhere else

Using electrostatics is interesting.

Reminds me of the old HP plotters from decades ago. You put a sheet of paper in them and pressed the HOLD button, and it would electrostatically adhere the paper to the plotter so the plotter pen wouldn't move the paper. sort of magical.
Would you have a link showing it in action? Thanks.

I think I've seen it too now that I think of it. What's interesting about it is that it is not really a logical fallacy since it has nothing to do with logic.

> Our goal should be to get people to their content quicker, not satiate them with a perfect spinner, right?

Yes, this.

Every spinner is a band-aid over a bug.

I've dealt with C-suite (typically not engineering!) in tiny startups who were very interested in every detail of their spinners . . . but unwilling to consider the very fact that they needed a spinner to be a problem.

> More companies should employ such coaches and schedule regular sessions for all their employees. If everything's great, then great. If not, it's definitely cheaper than employee churn.

Actually a few companies i know do that for their executive staff just not rank and file employees like in the show. Also if we’re talking about engineers beyond very early stage imo it would have very limited utility for the company
I wonder why it's slower at inference time then (for members using their web UI), or rather, if it's similar in size to gpt3, how gpt3 is optimized in a way that gpt4 isn't or can't be?

I'd expect that by now we would enjoy similar speeds but this hasn't yet happened.
It's particularly useful for detecting issues such as inadvertent IAC changes that can have significant consequences on your cluster's network connectivity and security.

Netchecks has:

* An easy-to-use CLI netcheck for running network checks locally.

* A helm installable operator for Kubernetes: create "NetworkAssertions" to have netchecks periodically ensure your cluster's network conditions are working as specified.

* Monitoring and alerting: integrate with Prometheus and Alertmanager to monitor your network checks' results and receive alerts for any discrepancies.

* Custom validation rules using CEL expressions, allowing you to specify precise conditions for checks to pass or fail.

Check out the project docs at docs.netchecks.io and the code on GitHub: https://github.com/hardbyte/netchecks

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement, so feel free to open issues, contribute.

Stay vigilant!

The main thing IPFS does better (in my opinion) is that the user interface is based around "browsing web sites" instead of "downloading files". For example, you can upload all of Wikipedia to IPFS such that users can easily read specific articles they're interested in without downloading the whole thing.

I think this is mostly a UI thing, not an improvement to the underlying technology. IIRC it's technically possible to "stream" from torrents or download chunks of them, it's just not the default way people interact with them.
Seems there was lots of bribery going on all the time, he just didn't know about it, didn't take part in it himself:

> many employees younger than me, in lower positions, were driving luxury cars and purchasing homes

and it took until this event, for him to start connecting the dots:

> the partner in the deal [...] had been terminated four months earlier for poor performance on the sales team, and corporate policy prohibits former employees from working as partners
> We know that beyond a doubt that TikTok’s parent company ByteDance is operating as a surveillance arm of the Chinese Communist Party and gathers information about Americans against their will.

I sure wish we lived in a world where people making decisions for us, such as Sen. Vance here, had to actually back up the the things they say.
Crime is getting worse in SF, murder happens and people get upset, turns out not to be a random crime, but SF crime is still a problem but now the focus is on how this one crime wasn’t a random event.

Do i have that right?

This argument seems to be a massive distraction from the problem at hand.
I wonder what thought process causes authors to go for name collision instead of something like p2pshell which is more descriptive and has zero google results... Neat tool, however.
Not "all things." I can't enter arbitrary titles of wiki articles, like "mathematics" and "poetry."

Thanks! I've had Covid for 6 weeks now. Now that I've discovered it's mental effects are real, I can up my meds to help. The strange thing is I was using cannabis to help manage my bipolar, not on a regular basis, but as needed to help make myself aware when I am manic, but now I can't stand cannabis. I can't stand certain foods either. I'm not sure if things ever get back to "normal". It's a Covid adventure.
The problem with that is there's no atmosphere in space. A vacuum is not very good at dissipating heat.
The more I learn about the technical details of how ML systems are implemented, the more I feel that those details obscure, rather than illuminate, what is actually going on.

It's as if we were trying to understand human ethics by looking at neurotransmitters or synapses in the brain. These structures seem way too low-level to actually explain the interesting stuff.

What I hear is "something something transformer autoencoder attention [...] MAGIC [...] a machine that speaks like a human".

Where is the connection between computational details and the model's high-level behavior? Do we even know? Is there a "psychology of ML models" that develops useful concepts that deal with what a model does, rather than how it functions at the plumbing layer?
Favorite example is AIs generating citations of papers that don't exist.
The bill initially banned TikTok, but amendments reworded that phrasing to ban social media sites that allow data of Montana users to be accessed by foreign adversaries, where social media sites is any site where users can post pics, videos, commentary, etc.

So if I understand...

1. User from Montana says "cool pic" in your blog comments.

2. China, Venezuela, Iran, Russia, or North Korea government agent visit your blog.

3. You will be fined $10,000 everytime one of those adversaries accesses that comment.

That is how this law is worded as far as I can tell. I'm an incompetent non-lawyer so read it [1] yourself, maybe I missed something.

Maybe the bill I was reading wasn't the one that got passed.

Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Google They Are Not Willing to Fix
If I may paraphrase a book title "The best app is no app"? :-) Besides, I thought we're supposed to be building services you can talk with now so you don't have to fiddle with old fashioned buttons anymore? Sure the human component doesn't scale that well, but it's pretty localized service and speech recognition is amazing.

And that is about exactly the gorram sum total of Mirror's expertise in diagnosing the reasons for suicide.

This is a garbage article, as the Mirror's banner should ensure.
Generally it seems to be three groups of people.

Some go early. They're not suitably skilled to get food of they quickly figure out this isn't for them (one guy quit once before the first night.) In later seasons this group is very small.

Around the 30-50 day mark the emotional part comes into play. Quite a few quit for emotional reasons.

Once the hard-cores are left, then it comes down to food. At that point it becomes a race to see who can out-starve the others, without getting pulled for medical reasons.
Why should someone's respect for (presumably) achievements as a technologist or entrepreneur extend to opinions about events like these (or really any event outside of business/technology?)

It is worse on Twitter.
(Why) Is that technically correct? I'm really curious since I too thought they meant that capping effect would increase (fewer messages allowed), and not decrease (more messages allowed), as was my intuitive understanding.
One strong way to protect against malicious prompt injection is by having a honeypot. Your goal with the honeypot is to have something that is vulnerable to prompt injection, and that does a simple reformatting of the content, something that could be easily validated in code. This is a strong first level protection against injection. It is difficult (albeit not impossible) to create a prompt attack that both leaves one prompt entirely unattacked, but then is still strong enough to get past a more hardened prompt, especially if the users have zero knowledge of either your honeypot or primary prompts.

If you are in a situation where you need additional protection you can increase the security further with additional honeypots, rotating honeypots, or even by creating code that generates random honeypot prompts.
For what it's worth, this is essentially what Crystal does, though by introducing a union type instead of an optional.

The APID in that spec (88 bits) is where a lot of complexity (imo) is pushed up to the application layer and seems key to the archicture. It looks like basically a typed-data+endpoints addressing scheme and assigned to endpoints per mission by that mission itself.
I agree.

Maybe it's because the human mind is good at breaking things into neat modules that fit together hierarchically. We can figure them out piecemeal and eventually grasp the whole system. But messy organic systems are not like that, and we just don't have the hardware to perceive everything at once.

Or maybe it's because we have trouble acknowledging that intelligence and consciousness isn't limited to animals, and the human brain doesn't have to epitomize it.

Birdshot is very effective against plastic propellers and soft side lipo batteries, which are both virtually universal critical components on FPV quadcopters.

3 flights actually seems pretty good given the conditions-- I suspect they aren't walking out to fetch any crashed or malfunctioning devices in an active combat zone and the analog video signals are exceptionally easy to interfere with.
We just don’t know. We can’t even agree on if there is any significant high-level behavior.

“It’s alive!” and “stochastic parrot” are still both quite popular in my experience.
Engage in regular social activities. Take beginner classes, to gain some confidence and build a small social group. Plenty of 4-8 weeks series to choose from. Then take higher level classes, too. Plenty online resources (meetup, fb groups, .org website) to get you going.

* Team sports. Soccer, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, basketball, etc. There is a pickup game somewhere in your city every day/week.

* Outdoors. Group hike, backpacking, cross-country skiing, sailing. E.g. mountaineers.org in PNW, surely there are similar orgs all over.

* Partner dance. You don't need a dedicated partner, events cater to singles too.

* f3nation.com / fianation.com The ultimate free outdoors workout, rain or shine. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/24/us/f3-workout-men-texas.h...

Can't confirm OpenAI's position in particular, but $500k/yr/person is table stakes for a decent engineer directly connected to the company's bottom line. Double that for an actual expert, double it again if they're consulting, and put together a team of 3-10 of them. Those numbers aren't too far off.
Popper.js maintainer here, we haven't been compromised. They just injected the malware in that position but the malware didn't come from our npm release
Lots of commenters here were so outraged without knowing what happened [0] and are now really silent today after the arrest.

Techies killing each other is even worse than the 'SF crime' assumptions (SF still is a shithole created by techies) and outrage that happened a week ago. Not this time and this one wasn't random.

So comes the back peddling and the wall of silence. Let's see if any of these techies will stand up and act on changing the city that they said they would, rather than now running away because another tech bro killed one of their own.

That's likely because given the publicly available information at the time, no narrative was obviously anything, because no details beyond Bob Lee being found stabbed and dead were known.

The cause could have been (with equal evidence for each case) aliens, mossad, or a cooking accident, but people were quick to project their biases onto the situation and jump into flamewars or political attacks based on literally no information other than a man having died.
That sounds like having a mixture of experts model (at high scale popularly developed by Google): train multiple specialised models (say embedders from text to a representation) that could be fed into a single model at the end. Each expert would be an adapter of sorts, activating depending on the type of input
Reminds me of the stories of Pixar and Steve Jobs. They basically had jobs-specific daily previews, and then a second set of previews so people could get stuff done.

That's an interesting guess but I wouldn't necessarily agree.

I've been a touch typist as long as I can remember and have been an avid emacs user for the last 15 years. I used vim for about 2 years before switching. I do have my caps lock bound to CTRL and have ALT+(jkl;) as movement keys in emacs so that might be a sign that there is some truth to what you say.

I would guess the reason that I used vim instead of emacs at the start was the learning curve - I simply couldn't bother to learn all the emacs combinations and program in elisp whereas in vim, I could be somewhat productive without much to learn.

Once I learned emacs, it was hard to go back to anything else but I still use vim on other machines when emacs isn't available.
