How do you arrive at 100km/h if you're averaging over distance?

I don't doubt you're right, but I don't see it. My calculation is as follows: suppose the distance between both cities is 120km. The trip A -> B thus takes exactly one hour. The trip B -> A takes 1.5 hours (120km / 80km/h) = 1.5h. The total trip therefore takes 2.5h, the total distance is 240km, which averages at 96km/h (240/(1 + 1.5)).

A simple (V1 + V2)/2 is surely possible, but I don't see the value of that average, I can't think of a situation where it would be useful.
Or just make good content, and let people filter themselves out, if they are not interested. If my content is not worth your email, you don't have to give it. If you furthermore don't deem my content worth the small annoyance of being asked for your email, fine! Bye bye.

The alternative is that I have to track you somehow, and determine how often you visited my content. I wouldn't like that. It is more complicated, it is creepier, and I very much doubt that it would convert better.
This seems overly broad, like trying to trademark the phrase 'vacuum cleaner'.
One of the main reasons I shoot with an actual camera body is exactly because it has a camera body. The ergonomics of shooting with a phone are terrible.

Obviously phones will never fit in your hand like that, so both will continue to exist because they serve different purposes. I am glad that phone sensors are getting bigger since when you don't have your camera on you they do a fine job (when you avoid the in-cam processing by shooting raw)
Prices obviosly differ a whole lot depending on the country. My point was not absolute monetary savings, but energy saving.

My school physics tells me that nearly everything you do with electricity at home will heat your home. Doesn't matter whether it's the baking oven, the computer or the fridge. So if you heat using electricity and live in cold climate saving energy for computers or household appliances just moves the same consumption to heating.

The big exception is heating water. That energy is typically lost to the sewer.

As long as you pay the same electricity price for your computer as for your heating, it does not make a differencd whether that's 7 or 50 cent or the 15 you estimated.
"encrypted by password" doesn't mean much by itself: is the whole security chain open source ? audited by a third party ? as well as any changes ? Secured by the provider accepting responsibility for breaches and their consequences ? ...

Employees down to subcontractor's trainees can modify the code or pwd store... FYI, the industry standard for "risk of corruption" is: 3 months of wages. In low-pay countries, this means, literally, pocket change. How sure are you that whatever Google does is impervious to such insider bad actors, even if at a specific time their setup was indeed secure ?
I don't know why you're being downvoted, but you're correct - they do.
I agree with you, but nudging can be a good thing if it's meritorious. Lincoln, for instance, had to manipulate people to some extent to achieve his goal of emancipation.

Similarly, I'd say some nudging is in order to tackle the obesity epidemic in the US and other places.
> Anomyous telemetry is not PII. GDPR is personal data.

How are you exactly going to submit it anonymously? Will it connect over Tor?
Because if you just send it over your internet connection, it arrives with your IP address on the packets, which is PII, which makes it data processing of PII, which makes it require a legal basis to process. And it is legally uncertain that 'legitimate interest' is a valid ground for telemetry data, leaving only opt-in consent.
"In the space of privacy-friendly phones, Apple has a monopoly."

A. There's no legally recognized market for "privacy-friendly phones."

B. "Privacy-friendly phones" is an ill-defined category, with "privacy" meaning different things to different people. Does a phone that blocks trackers qualify? Or does it have to protect me from rogue governments? There's no legal standard for what makes a device "privacy-friendly." Because of that, you are complaining that Apple has a monopoly in a market you just made up, which would be laughed out of court. You might as well claim Apple has a monopoly on phones with Lightning ports.

C. There's always GrapheneOS, which is free for anyone who wants it. There's also CalyxOS. You might claim they don't serve your purpose, but the law doesn't care an ounce about your specific purpose. There's generally-recognized competition in the vague category.

D. Having a monopoly is not illegal in the US. It's abusing your monopoly that's illegal. You would have to show Apple intentionally and specifically suppressed the development of alternative privacy-friendly phones by actively abusing their market power, which nobody is alleging.

So, governments are actively colluding to obstruct Democratic ways of life. They're now in the actively propogandize phase, where they outlaw talking to other people in privacy. Weaponizing tech against the coremost nature of Democracy.

And so are the tech bossess! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35653867 https://www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musk-tech-bosses-are-lett...

The tech-empires are letting whichever country wants to come in & start dictating terms, step all over people. We no longer even have the spine to call out journalism done in un-Free areas, we've decided Government-sponsored is too risky to even inform people about. https://rsf.org/en/index

With online platforms being cajouled every which way, one would hope the US Government could find some scant resemblance of a soul & do the right thing, which would be to help wage this culture war for a moral & ethical cause, to actually help our Democratic values, instead of psychological assaults on them. The government should be pushing back, demanding more encryption, more privacy, especially more privacy, privacy that even the tech bossess can't access much less the government.

Alas instead of helping fight the good fight, here we see the US-EU is playing the jealous rival, trying to steal some of the same advantages the data-slurping panopticon totalistic information-societies.

We need legal stands from governments to protect & advancing freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of ideas, freedom to think. We ought recognize & attend to open society & other essential liberty.

It's been such a ride. A lot of people are pretty grimdark on what Social Media is & means & the fate of interconnectivity, but my word, how can anyone feel so jaded & old at this point? We are so young, we have explored so few & such narrow options for how we might gather & share & communicate across the internet & it's many sites. I can acknowledge that folks are unhappy, that we are scared of what lies beyond the now tarnishing gilded Creator age, and you're all right, but man, the internet is so phenomenal. This is such an amazing creative ability to create & connect, to explore thought, expands the Rhizomatic / Assembly theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assemblage_(philosophy)) view of the world so deeply. There is so much to learn & figure out.

If we can keep this democracy. If we can maintain a vector where we can keep creating new interconnection, new people-figuring-out-what-protocols-people-want-to-use between us. We can combat so much shallowness by owning our speech, by owning our relays, by opting into being our own more selctive amplifiers, picking for ourselves what is signal and what is noise, calling out the short fun & what has real lasting value. Keep making the world more seen, keep sharing & thinking ourselves out loud, in public. And together in private.

Kinda neat that a country that’s a successor to an ancient hydraulic empire continues to carry on that civilization’s legacy of massive hydrological projects. Also see the Aswan Dam.
This is the crux of the issue. Pretty much every opinion in the ruling has one opinion or another about how the case would've gone differently if the "market" defined by the district was broader. In this case, the market was "mobile gaming transactions".

The district court analyzed anticompetitive effects
in terms of increases in the cost of mobile gaming
transactions—the court’s relevant market. But the court
could have found greater increases in costs if its analysis
concerned Epic’s markets, and this would change a properly
conducted balancing analysis. In essence, any balancing
done out of the context of a relevant market necessarily
involves putting a thumb on the balancing scale.
I haven't read Postrel, but the idea of twine being necessary to secure a stone tool to a wooden shaft seems wrong to me.

Jon Plant secures a stone tool head to a shaft by building a stone axe called a "celt" with more primitive methods [0]. The friction fit he achieves is likely more robust than a twine lashing because it helps deliver a higher impulse to the work-piece than a mount made of cordage.

One aspect of the article, if I understood correctly, is that with abstraction comes uncertainty about the compilation result.
If you need to be 100% sure about what the compiler will produce you shouldn’t go with a higher level language like C++ and stick with C.
"Orthodox C++" looks like an euphemism and the examples are just taking the ++ out.
I use the language for over 20 years now and I've always been quite happy with the new features provided, especially smart pointers and ownership concepts.
So what exactly is the point?
STL is complex? Yes - keep learning and mastering.
C++ compilers produce unexpected results? Tell me you are a master of x86-assembly and know the performance costs of every kernel function your application uses via the compilers abstractions…

Cubes are a luxury. Now all you get is a 1.5m tall panel in front of you, if you're lucky, and rows with 4-6 coworkers next to you and the same number behind you, and probably 30+ people in the same open space.

Totally opposite of my experience. I do an annual ski trip with some of my old coworkers from 5+ years ago (from a company not many of us work at any longer). I have been invited to weddings from coworkers I worked with 10+ years ago. I am still great friends with dozens of people I went to community college and university with. But since going remote it is far more difficult to make the same connections.

Of course they did. They have a strong desire to milk this thing for every dime they possibly can.
I've heard good things about OCaml in general.

But "no serious IDE, except emacs" is a non-starter imho, if it's true.

They should really invest in this. Otherwise the language won't attract any professional developers in the large.
> monopoly on iOS

What you're doing is assuming "the relevant market" is very narrow. In antitrust law, they say the case is won or lost on how broadly the relevant market is defined. Does Amazon compete against every brick and mortar store, or just other online merchants? The subsequent legal analysis looks very different depending on the answer to that question.

What LLMs learn is a "conditional probability distribution" that is the probability that a particular word is used contingent on the other words used in the text.

If it learns to write in the style of Donald Trump that's because it sees "in the style of Donald Trump" in the prompt and that elicits it consider what word Donald Trump would use in a situation. If it is asked to "talk like a pirate", it similarly is drawing from a different probability distribution.

It doesn't literally memorize the content of all the books it was fed because it does not have enough neural connections to encode it all without loss. What's miraculous about it is that it models these "conditional probability distributions" very effectively, it doesn't need to see an example of seeing absolutely everything written in "talk like a pirate style", it can somehow blend what it knows about the conditional probabilities of pirate talk and the conditional probabilities of other conversation and frequently produce a convincing result.

So it is very possible it can follow patterns and make inferences based on what it "learned" in pre-training and what it has just been told and come to conclusions that weren't already fed into it.

On the other hand if I want to talk with it about football it is not at all qualified to have an opinion about "Do you think Arsenal or Man City will win the championship this year?" because the LLM doesn't contain any knowledge about this season at all. (Note if you ask Bing Chat it does a search lookup and interprets the results.)

Also note it is all statistical so it is likely to "make stuff up" whether it is facts that it could have read in a book or when you ask it to make some conclusion based on the knowledge available to it. It can very well make up something that wasn't fed it into it originally, whether or not it is right is a roll the dice sort of thing.
Or Aegis Authenticator. It is basically a perfect app IMO.
There are relatively simple ways to enforce this. For instance, requiring companies to register all trackers prior to use. And in that registration process specify all metadata that would be collected. Terms of service for implementing trackers in California could include something along the lines of permitting independent E2E auditing of all trackers and any software linked to it, e.g., software related to personalization and feature creation/selection/optimization.

There could also be something like more comprehensive enforcement of "(meta)data flushing," including a tighter turn-around time to ensure customer data that was supposed to be deleted is actually deleted, at more regular intervals. This would better ensure novelty at the time of model training/fine-tuning. These training logs would be audited as well.

Training data size would decrease. It would also act as a natural guard against data hoarding, which disproportionately benefits huge corporations (e.g., Google, Amazon).

Does it make personalization harder? In some ways yes. It also challenges us to invent solutions more sophisticated than "just feed the model more data."
Nope'n'AI strikes again.
Most jurisdictions copy the main tenets* from each other, to make it easier for actors to enforce in their region - i.e. GDPR -> CCPA.

I think you are thinking about a case where someone goes 120km/h for 1 hour and then 80km/h for 1 hour instead of going over a fixed distance at 120km/h and then going over the same distance at 80km/h.

I see 8 out of 195 "unknowns"which seems to be pretty good coverage. The remaining unknowns are things like serial verb constructions and reduplication, which are very uncommon in European languages. I'm not sure why these are uncoded but based on my knowledge of the methodology for Grambank it's possibly that these typological features aren't mentioned in any source. I agree it seems like these should be straightforward to code however, I'll ask someone
I'd add that, where I live but probably in a number of areas of the US, even a plowed and wildflower-seeded tract of land will basically turn into mixed forest over time--which has actually happened with a lot of former farmland in New England. Which is fine to some degree. I moved into an old farmhouse 25 years ago and let a section out towards the road basically regrow into forest which has fairly tall trees at this point--which better screens the house from the road. But you probably don't want that all the way up to the house for fire and other reasons.

(I keep a fairly small lawn and the rest--other than the forest break between me and the road--gets cut by a tractor once a year.)
> I could sell an app in the EU that just pinged my server once a day. As long as I wasn't keeping a record of who pinged what when, there is no PII.

Data processing is not just about 'keeping a record'. Processing even for a millisecond is also processing.

> Otherwise everything is PII and you would need consent before every TCP handshake.

Consent is not the only ground for data processing. Normally, it would just be performance of a contract, as the user wants something from you.

> That is literaly measuring car's speed at every instant!

Well, there's no way to measure to measure speed instantly, it's always over some period even if small (take some time interval and see how much distance have been covered). For example, at time zero you cannot know what speed the car has.

Similar like when I was working with audio, producing frequency diagram -- the frequency cannot be gathered from a single timestamp on the waveform, you always need some interval, like 20ms to get an FT.

Sort of. Now your cortisol could spike because of all kinds of things, none of which you can SEE. That's usually called anxiety. Back thousands of generations ago, if you were high on a rock by your cave with a good view, you knew you were safe.

Carrying this forward, we humans will have to work on better systems, because it's about to get worse/weirder. Our brains aren't designed to be good at detecting lies visually -- we have mental processes for speech, but visually, what you saw was always real. Now with AI in the mix, it's gonna get... messy.

I'm not speaking about WebGPU specifically, just about how Apple is generally behind in implementations, especially on iOS. Apple supported push notifications on MacOS Safari for years, and just recently has it only been added to iOS. Even that Safari Technology Preview is only on the MacOS version of Safari, so like push notifications, doesn't mean iOS support until it happens.
