Interesting. Can you share some examples of this?
Given the requirement to detect collisions and a process to reissue an ID for various legal reasons, I don't see a problem. In fact, don't use too many digits. If you use too many digits, collisions will be so rare that when they occur nobody will know how to handle them. Better to have a process that gets exercised a few times a year at minimum.

Windows 8 + OpenShell was great. Since you didn't have to deal with the stupid Metro crap, Windows 8 was pretty much just like Windows 7.
Let's start by asking how is the design
I'd have to disagree. Meta was always great at releasing papers but they never scaled stuff up until like a year or so, such that things start to work in the real world outside of datasets. Glad to see, we're done with the 2% improvement in dataset papers in CVPR, I would now like to see real world performance results.
Reversibility of changes in CI/CD pipeline?
How many of you actually do test the reversibility(or rollback) of database changes across all environments through CI/CD pipeline? Do you think it’s absolutely a requirement to test reversibility of changes in CI/CD pipelines?
I find it ironic that you both are accusing others of not using critical thinking while failing to hold yourself to a similar standard!

It’s a scaling issue. If you have a lot of friends 1:1 don’t scale.
Google Calendar Down Due to Invalid Cert
At some point MS decided their main rival is Google not Apple. Perhaps they're right.

I'm not a MS user other than occasionally when work requires it, haven't really been for many many years. But looking at their stock and profit, I can't say they are doing badly at all.

At some point, especially when your focus is the consumer market, you're not going to be so scrupulous with certain choices where the trade-off is profit vs consumer interests. This is perhaps even much worse in the mobile market thanks to Google, the company that started with such good press and lofty goals.

I'm skeptical that MS isn't going just fine, and I've never been a fan.

> and midjourney is still easily winning. There’s a reason for that.

Sure, Midjourney is a centralized commercial service with a clear statement that you (as a paid user) own the images you create. While that doesn’t resolve all potential copyright issues (as there are still at least theoretical issues with the underlying dataset), if you doing something commercial with it like, say, a webcomic from which you derive income, its a lot simpler than dealing with the SD ecosystem where the plethora of models also have different stated usage restrictions, different suppliers (many of which are hobbyists) to keep track of, and more potential avenues of indirect copyright risk, as well. For some webcomics, even the base CreativeML Open RAIL-M license itself might be problematic.

This isn’t a technical or quality advantage, but its definitely an advantage that would very often tip the balance between two tools if both are minimally adequate to your task.
But what are you going to use this for besides Postgres? Nothing else adheres to the standard, and if it did, there'd be no point in using it over Postgres. In my experience, it's been fine to marry a particular DBMS and deal with code changes in the worst case that you have to switch, which would probably be a huge rework either way.

Their art wasn't collected for model training. The #1 artist supposedly being copied in SD1.5 is not in the training data. Artists just don't know how the model works and think you need to put in an "art" image to get an "art" image out, but of course that's not true.
There is a great story of perseverance and patience in this thread, the person keeping the bug thread alive is truly doing the gods' work.
All valid points. I will say that while the trash in your face in Windows is an issue, the stuff that really gets me about Windows is their persistent desire to surveil users in every way possible. I put up with some difficulties in linux because it is generally very anti-surveillance, and that is a bigger issue for me than ads in my start menu. The ads in the start menu just serve as a reminder of what I really mean to Microsoft - I am a consumer who can provide value to Microsoft, rather than with Linux where I am a user who should be provided value by the operating system.

> I've been daily driving Linux since March 2020 however recently purchased a Valve Index and decided to pop Win 10 on a completely empty secondary M.2. The setup kept failing because it just could not handle the fact that the primary M.2 had a Linux boot loader on it. It just refused to install.

That's better than what has happened to me with prior versions of Windows: the Windows installer just deleted the Linux bootloader, even though it was on a completely different drive.

Nowadays I always disconnect all other drives when installing Windows. But it's a pain.
"Scaling things up" in and of itself is a very recent phenomenon. I would claim, in that sense that nothing before GPT-3 counts.

However, for not-so-scaled models, Meta or rather FAIR, had good contributions with available code that were interoperable with other research in the field. Compare that with, say, Google research/brain/deepmind, which always put out lofty papers that never allowed reproducibility.

Is there a built in way to:

* ungroup items on the task bar?

* put your task bar on the side?

* have Live Tiles that open UWP apps (like a weather one that just opens weather)?

* restore sensible context menus?

I did not find "shockingly easy" ways to enable most of the customizations I wanted in Windows 11, even though they had those features in Windows 10. Removing features and giving us news and advertisement content in the start menu doesn't seem like a great upgrade. And Windows 10 has been extremely stable for me across a broad range of PCs (desktops and laptops), so I don't see any room for improvement.
I think work expectations and schooling play a bigger role in that than the city planning, but it may also be suffering from it's own success in some ways. An abundance of choice can sometimes make commitment difficult, dating apps are one example. It's easy to stay non-commited to a social regulationship when it feels like they are a dime a dozen.

I also get the impression that a lot is expected of individuals in their social performances, and so for those who struggle to participate, there isn't as much support.

> Unfortunately it seems clear that openai trains gptX on common test questions. They still fail novel ones.

Maybe in some domains, but it does well with some novel questions. I gave several LLMs a set of false-belief test[0] questions that I made up and that were very different from any I’d seen in articles about the topic online. GPT-4 nailed them all, and gave correct reasons for its answers. GPT-3.5 did okay but had a couple mistakes, Bard had several mistakes, and Alpaca-LoRA-7B didn’t do very well. Here are some GPT-4 examples.

Me: Jim wakes up at the Berlin train station, not knowing where he is or how he got there. All the signs have been changed to incorrectly state that this is the Munich train station. Jim has never been to either city and doesn’t know what either station looks like. What city does Jim believe he is in?

GPT-4: Based on the available information, Jim would likely believe he is in Munich since all the signs have been changed to incorrectly state that this is the Munich train station. He has never been to either city and doesn't know what either station looks like, so he would have no reason to doubt the information on the signs.

Me: Mary has been in a coma since 2015, when Barack Obama was president. She wakes up in 2023, when Joe Biden is president. She does not know that she was unconscious for a long period of time. Before speaking with anyone, who does Mary think is president when she wakes up?

GPT-4: When Mary wakes up from her coma in 2023, she would still think Barack Obama is the president since she has not yet spoken with anyone or received any updated information about the current president. She doesn't know that she was unconscious for a long period of time, and her last memory would be from 2015 when Obama was in office.

Me: Sam arrives in Ukraine, where he asks for directions to Kyiv. Without realizing it, he misunderstands the directions and ends up in Lviv instead. Since Sam doesn’t know Cyrillic, he can’t read any signs. Sam has never been to Ukraine and doesn’t know what either city looks like. Before asking someone for help, what city does Sam think he is in?

GPT-4: Before asking someone for help, Sam would likely think he is in Kyiv because that is the city he was trying to reach based on the directions he received. He doesn't know what either city looks like and can't read the signs due to his unfamiliarity with Cyrillic, so he has no way of knowing that he ended up in Lviv instead.

The article is right that intentionality in relationships is critical. I think it's a commonly romanticized view that relationships shouldn't feel like "work" if they're good relationships, but I think that view does a disservice to the effort that goes into building a deep and fulfilling connection. Lifelong connections don't happen by accident.

I also agree with csallen's comment. Introducing my friends to each other was one of my projects for last year and its made my whole world closer and more convenient. Now if I ever want to see a movie, have a day in the park, have a dinner I know I can make a general invitation and whoever is free and interested can show up and, because they already know each other, everyone will have a great time.

If you trust your friends to see in each other (or at least respect) what you see in each of them individually and if they're mature adults, there should be no issue with introducing people to each other. This practice has been a good way for me to re-examine some of my own unconscious biases about which of my friends would get along with one another based on superficial qualities (such as their occupations or backgrounds) and I've been pleasantly surprised by the friendships that have blossomed out of the introductions I've made.

As a side note, I still identify as an introvert and still get the most fulfillment out of 1:1 conversations. I don't think you need to be an extrovert to hang out in groups or be the social glue in your world. I was inspired to start introducing friends to one another because I realized how grateful I was - as an introvert - when I first moved to a new city and one of the friends I made was super welcoming and inclusive with their friends. It made me want to serve in that role myself and I'm so glad I got over my shyness and anxiety. I think if you approach adult relationships with intentionality you'll often be surprised by how receptive people are - I find most people have a desire to make new friends, but they're often afraid to take the first initiative.
And a few places like Virginia, you have Cities and Counties, and you can only be in one or the other. Sort of a Vatican City/Italy situation, except the same country.

Though, if they're training off official character art that's less cool than reinterpreting it themselves. Means you don't have a "house style".
Totally agree in using it as a supplemental. It's basically the TikTok of language learning with its dopamine-based point scoring and streak building system, but I've known people who never missed a day for 3 years and still sound like a 3rd grader when they speak that language they were learning.

It’s not just Google.

Yesterday night I was trying to recall the name of a particular SCOTUS case that I had (semi-incorrectly) thought was connected to the 14th Amendment.

Bombed out on the SERPs two or three times, so I started looking for an very old article by Thomas Sowell that randomly introduced me to the case a few years back. I knew it was something regarding the unintended consequences of the Civil Rights Act.

Neither Google nor DDG gave me ANY useful results for 3-5 variations on “scholarly critique of the Civil Rights Act”. I eventually remembered the Sowell connection and even adding his name in quotes only got me to a page deboonking the article I was searching for!

I’m very far from being a right winger or whatever so I’ve never really experienced this sort of thing before, but my god is the “no no, you don’t REALLY want to search for THAT” silent censorship out of control. Millions to billions of people use these search engines daily and assume they’re mildly biased but otherwise shining portals to the sum total of human knowledge.

In hindsight, I suspect I would have immediately found the SCOTUS case with my initial search on 2010 era Google. Very much seems like my starter queries were triggering the Bad Think Detected algorithm.
It's incredible that people are so eager to eat up these unsupported claims.

This is the second [1] OpenAI claim in the span of a few days that conveys a sense of "GPT-4 represents a plateau of accomplishment. Competitors, you've got time to catch up!".

And it's not just a financial incentive, it's a survival incentive as well. Given a sufficiently sized (unknowable ahead of time) lead, the first actor that achieves AGI and plays their cards right, can permanently suppress all other ongoing research efforts should they wish to.

Even if OpenAI's intentions are completely good, failure to be first could result in never being able to reach the finish line. It's absolutely in OpenAI's interest to conceal critical information, and mislead competing actors into thinking they don't have to move as quickly as they can.

Do you find it is worth the money? It costs twice what most streaming services costs, and there are no bundles: I pay for Google One and Google Music, but that counts for nothing.
IP addresses as well.

The random case is nice because there’s no coordination needed, but “you get this block” is not so hard for coordination.

That makes perfect sense, they were the same type of single villa style. The biggest things I discovered is that while airbnb charges the host 3-4%, they charge the guest 9-15%. Booking.com reverses this and charges the guest no fees while the host has all the cost, 20% and the most risk if the charge/credit card was fraudulent.

Why do you think the answer to a problem created by competition is more competition?
You rather not need to park at all, because you walked there. It is hard to imagine if you are used to the car megalopolis but living near everything you need should be the goal of good mixed use cities.

Rural towns are a mix because they can't reasonanly support everything a modern life needs, so you still use a car to go between towns or longer distances, and parking is easy so you do small trips too. But your essentials and community are nearby and the parking requirements are just the people in your town.

The suburban sprawl model is the worst of both worlds, nothing is nearby, even essentials, so you drive for everything. Because everyone from the burbs has to drive to the same place, parking sucks too. No community, no parking, no goods and services. Just houses and roads, intersected by busy highways.

I certainly don't feel like there are such close friends there that it's like they are long-lost family (and, you know, your actual family sometimes it's kind of mixed too).

I think the article also doesn't consider another possibility that I would toss in there: your friends and you may not have as much in common as you used to.

"Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" by Charles Petzold
Quite sure I reported this JS vulnerability to Google in of December 2022. I also detailed it in a report to SEC. And I kept reporting the issue to Google teams, to which they responded for me to "check their privacy and security docs." See also https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=burna_aws_acct, where I commented about it on HackerNews.

But yea, give credit to Clement Lecigne of Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG), Google's own team. This isn't the first time they've done this either.

Just lost even more respect for that entire operation at Google. So whack.
