Were you paid a full adult salary? With benefits?

If not, this is a harmful labor practice because you were undercutting the wages of full adult workers.

In the same way that prison labor and undocumented workers undercut pay of adult workers, so too do child laborers.

Neither are really able to report labor and safety violations, neither are able to decide not to work, and neither are paid a proper living wage. Neither are in a position to unionize. This is not a free market, and it hurts everyone in the economy. It feels more like a regression to feudalism.

I’d say if we mandated a living wage this problem would likely sort itself out.

[edit] It's a question of balance of power between employer and employee. Hiring the powerless hurts everyone, even if you personally had a good experience in retrospect. If you want to teach kids, you can do so at a non-profit instead of Philip Morris.

For the unsuspecting computer nerd, a search for latex back at the dawn of search technology was briefly something that could truly open the unprepared mind to unsuspected vistas.

Boy did that one get fixed fast.

But let us spare a moment of thought for the subsequent searchers for interesting items of latex clothing, and how they felt about being exposed to interminable details about an obscure word processing system.
That or the point of the class is to prepare for a test set by someone other than the teacher (such as in UK A-levels), where you know the questions will mostly be of the form "derivative of 3x^2-5x+1" or similar.
Google constant failure astonish me. How a company with so much money, so many wonderful engineers can't produce a source of income other than the search engine? I kept reading news about Google's AI programs, how the hell was Microsoft with OpenAI that came up with the biggest hit in AI?

Also, how does Google want people to use their new services if they keep closing them down after their "failure" (a.k.a Google completely forgeting about them and proceeding to close them down).
> They had Bing running in the background for years losing truckloads of money.

Maybe a nitpick, but I think Bing has been profitable on its own for a while now.

Maybe OP should take his laptop and go work at Quark's since Quark and OP have similar management ideologies.
Then linux should be a second rate platform since no one spend enough money and there is zero control over what it runs on.

Android is also technically more advanced than anything Apple in pure versatility and user control. Apple execs might get nightmares if someone suggested giving more control to their user. I can stay in the walled garden or play outside with naughty apps and emulators. Android's safety model is not based on restricting what the user can do. Security by obscurity is the least one can do.

I understand everyone has a phone choice and some people prefer their phone less sophisticated or less feature rich or more basic.

But just because you prefer something so reduced in functionality that it's a waste of the incredible silicon powering it does not mean you can belittle something far more capable. Especially in a developer oriented website.
> Copyright already protects what a patent granted for source code would protect.

This is not correct. Patent protects the abstract functional design, copyright protects the reduction to practice. Two implementations of the same algorithm have independent copyrights.

You see the same thing in physical engineering too. A novel chemical process is protected by patent and each reduction to practice is protected by copyright. They are separately licensable.
It's all trade offs. I'm just spitballing here, but if you have limited resources, you can either spend cash/time on lidar or invest in higher-quality mass-produced optics, or better computer vision software. If you get to a functional camera-only system sooner, might everyone be better off as you can deploy it more rapidly.

Manufacturing capacity of lidar components might be limited.

Another might be reliability/failure modes. If the system relies on lidar, that's another component that can break (or brownout and produce unreliable inputs).

So in a vaccum, yea a lidar+camera system is probably better, but who knows with real life trade offs.

(again, I just made these up, I do not work on this stuff, but these are a few scenarios I can imagine)
For 10 Gbps equipment look at Mikrotik switches, a 4 port SFP+ one was around $130 when I bought it and the PCIe NICs were $50 a piece. I used DAC and AOC instead of UTP cables, they were $20-$50 each depending on the length, I paid for the whole thing a bit over $600 (6 SFP+ ports in total on 2 switches).

I use TrueNAS and the cache works only for reads, it helps with navigation of the folder structure (tens of thousands of photos, for example), but not with writes and not with most reads. Some other solutions can do write caching on SSD, that may improve the performance over 10 Gbps network a lot, but for 1 Gbps cache is not that useful.
AI science search engines are exploding in number – are they any good?
It is true, we can't force people to think the way we want, nor should we want to. What we can do, hopefully, is make them live with the consequences of admitting the way they think, whatever that entails.

There are countries where it is not against the law to be a nazi, but you still get to live as a nazi.
They kinda did that with ChromeOS + Google Docs with offline mode. The problem for Google is that while it was a solid investment for MS to persue cloud services to compete with Google, I don't think it would have been a good investment the other way around. Chrome is really the only desktop product that makes sense for Google because it pushes people into their ecosystem online. Creating something like a standalone OS or a standalone office software would have gone in the "wrong direction" for Google, taking people off their site rather than taking people there.

Also on a total sidenote, if you told me 5 years ago that Bing would be a serious threat to Google I would have a laughed.
> I don't think this form of child labor should be discouraged, but rather encouraged.

I think the issue is not the formative experience of labour but the lifting of restrictions on 'dangerous jobs'.

The motivation behind this is not to enable children autonomy but to maintain the cost of labour low specifically to prop up the slaughterhouse/meat packing industry, and other 'dirty' job industries with labour 'shortages' i.e. we don't want to raise salaries shortages.

Exposing kids to toxic cleaning agents, hazards, and general heavy machinery is a recipe for accidents and is simply not OK more so when it is quite obviously greed driven.
How does this happen for me when I use Chrome on my Samsung phone?
I've been using it for about 4 years now. Occasionally, I'll try Google when I'm having difficulty finding something with Bing. It's usually something where I have only a vague recollection of what I'm looking for and I'm starting by using search to find other keywords to eventually get to my true search terms. But it has yet to work out that Google has provided better results in those cases. Indeed, the results are often worse and I doubt I'd be able to make any progress with Google anymore.

And now, with ChatGPT integrated with Bing, I have found it makes very, very short work of those sorts of vague, barely remembered searches.

It is baffling to me that they have the "don't predict this" button that clearly doesn't actually do that. It has behaved this way forever, so it must be behaving as intended or else they would've fixed it by now. But I can't puzzle out what that button is actually intended to do.

The Truth About SIM Card Cloning
You are misattributing the cause. It’s not because they’re web-based, it’s because they aren’t *really^ Word, Excel, etc. I’ve shot myself in the foot one too many times with the web-based Office suite. There’s a reason there’s a nice big button to bounce you to the desktop applications - for when you need to do something they didn’t bother putting in the web version.
What I got from the comment was that the overall intention and push behind sideloading, both by the community and what the EU mandates, is to not be bound by Apple's policies for appmaking, not just to use your own distribution infrastructure.
Nor can they buy cigarettes anymore. The age was increased from 18 to 21 with little notice. Vape cartridges are allowed though, I think.
I've benefited my whole life from AI safety research? Who is rushing, that's just framing.

AI safety invents a fake problem and fails to solve it and so demands that other productive people "slow down" to they can "catch up." See I can frame too.
Having deployed Chromebooks into corporate and education, there's less ad content there than on a Windows machine... by oodles. In fact, the only place a stock Chromebook has ads is on websites, in the browser and I believe on a personal install it tries to sell you a subscription to Google's cloud service for extra storage. Once you start installing apps, well, your mileage will vary.

Having used Android as my daily driver since Android 1.3, again, the default experience is pretty much ad-free. I've even used Android in "desktop mode" where you connect a display, keyboard and mouse and used windowed Android apps. When you start installing apps, or if you buy a device with non-default apps installed (i.e. the mobile carrier install as infested crap). In that case you can disable or uninstall that app and move on.

While Google does have a history of cancelling some well-loved products (like Reader), Google Apps (Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Presentations, etc...) has been solid for a decade. The live, multiuser, real-time editing and versioning is a wonderful feature for collaboration. Also, Google has been very reasonable on pricing, and after six years of running three companies on Google Worplace/Apps, I'm very impressed with the reliability of Google Workplace (what they are now calling Apps).
Yes, yes, mostly moved by the robot. Except when the ball drops out of a form rolled over by hand, second when put into the lower bench of a trolley by hand, also when rolls out of a machine (sanding?) stopped by a rolled towel to be wiped by hand and an other towel. : )

Gb has F#° as the diminished.

I'll also note you stick to natural/# for diminished. For minor, you transition between #/b boundary at D#m/Bbm but for major you transition at the B/Gb boundary. Personally I'd go with F# and be consistent between major and minor.

Doing manual labor in a field isn't "learning some job skills".
> So why bother?

Well, here's why it bothers me but obviously that doesn't have to be your reason: Because there's a woman named Lynne in the story who seems likely to be the one behind a lot of it, and a man is taking credit for her work.

Frito-Lay would rather push a rags-to-riches story about a man than credit a highly-qualified woman for her work.

You missed out on career opportunities typical upper middle class inner city/suburban kids had access to. Outside of software engineering and a few other specific verticals, most high earning careers would require some sort of preparation from high school. There is a massive opportunity cost for kids when it comes to working in the fields.

People wonder how some public figures can just fail upwards, this sort of success requires preparation and grooming at an early age. The Gates and Zuckerbergs of the world did not get where they are through hard physical labor in their teenage years.
What I mean is: Russia today is more akin to Germany in the 1930s, bitter over their past failures and humiliation at the hands of allied states a decade or so earlier, and eager to get back to conquest to show the world how great and powerful they are.

Hate to be the person complaining about the name, but we already saw how this plays out with DALL-E mini: if you name your project directly after something else like this, no matter how much extra explanatory text you attach to it a large number of people will assume it's an "official" variant of the thing it was named after.

Eventually you'll have to rename it, either to resolve the confusion or because OpenAI pressure you to do so, or both.

So better to pick a less confusing name from the start.

(This one is even more confusing because it's about image inputs, but GPT4 with image inputs had not actually been released to anyone yet - similar in fact to how DALL-E mini got massive attention because DALL-E itself was still in closed preview)
Thanks for providing an actual and relevant use case.

TBH (and I'm wildly speculating here, I'm not involved in embedded dev at all), if there were no other options, I believe the SW emulation would rise to the challenge to make it workable.

If people can faithfully reproduce behaviours of ages old consoles to make sure the old games' bugs are still preserved, and for free, I'm guessing someone would step up in case of x86 if there was a business need.

But since you can still use actual HW to do that, there isn't any.
How is this a response to the comment you replies to?
Apple will likely make the sideloading process so involved that it’ll be outside of the competency of the vast majority of the users.

Facebook would just shoot themselves in the foot with having to support two apps for little value.
So one thing we did was for (a/b style) experiments to continue to collect data even after taking a decision to enable or disable[1]. No new sessions/devices would be added to the experiment, but those already exposed would still be reflected. So if everyone who decided to book because of an experiment ends up cancelling or consistently providing more negative feedback over the months that follow, our automation could still flag that.

Whatever we may say about the company and its practices, the engineering team working on the experimentation tooling had their heart in the right place. They worked extremely hard and with tremendous care on trying to make sure the data presented would cause the best possible decisions.

[1] Caveat: if an experiment was disabled fully (doesn't work or buggy) or enabled fully, obviously the experiment measurement is now no longer clean because folks in one variant will now see the other. But for trailing metrics like anything that affected past booking decisions, this type of analysis may not be perfect but still carries some meaning as a health check.

I'm from North Carolina, but never picked tobacco. Another problem I heard was that you absorb nicotine through your skin when picking tobacco, so it can make you sick if you aren't a tobacco user. It was used as an excuse to allow kids to smoke some cigarettes in order to get a tolerance for nicotine. This was back when there was an outside smoking area in high schools for students to smoke in.
I am waiting for the day that GPT can show it's work so to speak. i.e. "Debug last results" and get a list of all the trained input data including any URL's, books, text input and who performed the input, where the data came from. I am told this will never happen but I think courts will disagree once enough big mistakes and/or potential malfeasance or fraud occurs and people try to blame GPT. Or when GPT repeats the unsavory behavior we have all witnessed with social media algorithms leading to highly divisive outcomes.

You didn't work the fields. You had your own small business you owned and managed. Congrats, sounds like you did a great job, set your own schedule, learned loads and enjoyed yourself.

This is real world project based learning - I applaud and support it.

It is absolutely nothing like being employed as a child, by a profit making enterprise. That's being subject to an employment contract without the cognitive comprehension or legal protections of an adult.

Being an employee means being a productive tool of an enterprise - employees are protected from exploitation to the precise amount they have the economic power and social status to protect themselves. We're not talking about kids running a fruit stand, or even helping their parents with some hours in a shop here. We're talking about hard manual labour, for someone else, likely for a pittance.

It's like comparing playing doctors and nurses to child marriage. One is natural unforced experimentation between kids, the other is exploitation of children by adults.

This is by far the best AI generated music I've heard yet, and marks the first moment where I started feeling some worry that this stuff is coming for music too.

Up til now, I've been convinced (foolishly, maybe) that there was something special about music that AI just wasn't going to be able to do well. Now, I'm not so sure.

I think modern popular hip hop is probably an easy target - the music itself is relatively simple, and especially for an absolute chart-destroying monster like Drake, there's a huge amount of singing / rapping / voice to use as training data.

I'm somewhat more skeptical on genres that involve complex instrumental playing and more dynamic vocal performances, but I think this track sounding so convincing is evidence that we're making big strides.

On the other hand, there's something about music that I truly don't think AI can touch, and that's this sort of undefined "cool" factor. I'm a rock / metal guy, and there's something just awesome to me about a group of guys up on stage rocking out, but the cool factor is definitely a big part of hip hop too.

Last thought - I'm not sure if this song is as good as I think it is, because I don't really listen to Drake. I recently ran across an AI generated Nirvana song, which was also pretty well done - but it was still just on the edge of the uncanny valley for me. Maybe big Drake fans would feel the same way about this, idk.

I grew up in North Carolina in the late 1980's. There was tobacco all around and I knew many classmates that picked tobacco from at least age 14. Some people in the thread are remembering their own experiences fondly. I can't remember any of my friends saying anything positive about picking tobacco. I don't think they made much money either.

As for not being able to buy cigarettes, everyone I knew that wanted to smoke could get cigarettes. We had a lot of hotels in town and they all had cigarette vending machines where you just insert your money and get a pack. No cashier and no age verification of any kind.

Hmm, what kind of VM? By default, my M1 Mac will only run arm64 software under Docker. If an arm64 build is not available for something (ie x64 only), I can change the architecture setting, and only then will Docker attempt to run the process using Qemo. If Docker on Mac is already a VM, why does it need Qemo? Why does the Docker VM not emulate across architectures?
I love your analysis.
