I'm sorry but you can't honestly use stolen without permission here. If you publish something and someone else acquires it legally (because you published it for free or because they paid for or otherwise obtained a license to it) then you don't get to control how the work is used after the fact. You only control the terms of them receiving a copy. You can't say "I didn't want my work used for AI training data when I published it so it's all stolen as far as I'm concerned". It just doesn't work that way.

Now that doesn't mean you can't license your work for exclusive use by humans and explicitly forbid AI training data in the license applied to your work, but you'd have to do that when you publish it, not retroactively.
waiting for someone to solve trust/reputation on the internet like colbert eating popcorn.
Some of the AI predictions make me think about a quote from "Dune":

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
Thank you so much! This was very helpful. DIY "provisional patent application" feels like a good insurance. If there's something of worth, you file an year later. If you get no customers, the idea was dead anyways and I assume you can avoid filing. Is that correct ?
What have the other Justices done to deserve the label of crooked? Or as crooked as Thomas?
I don't get the impression that small government people have a lot of say in SF, this looks like typical big government graft and mismanagement that turns people paying attention into small government types.
And it's not even limited to online or free. My snail mail is 90% spam even though people have to pay for it to be printed and delivered physically to my door. I wish I had spam filtering for USPS.

One stupid little thing I realized after having sometimes been consistently zapped by mybcar door and other times not getting zapped in the same weather and humidity:

If I open the door and grasp for the (metal) edge of it before I start sliding out of my seat I will be grounded and consequently not build up charge as I leave the seat.

> Is spam also killing [...] Google itself

Oh my god, yes. To all appearances they declared defeat in the Great Webspam War some time around '08 or '09 and their results have been markedly worse ever since.
I noticed a correlation between the volume of spam I'm receiving to my spam folder, and the increase in false negative arriving in my inbox. Spam volume is increasing in my experience.
You can add enough swap space that fork+execve always works in practice (although vfork or vfork-style clone is obviously better if the goal is to execve pretty much immediately anyway). Linux allows reserving address space with PROT_NONE, populating it later with mprotect or MAP_FIXED, and many programs do it like that.

However, I stopped using vm.overcommit_memory=2 because the i915 driver has something called the GEM shrinker, and that never runs in that mode. That means all memory ends up going to the driver over time, and other allocations fail eventually. Other parts of the graphics stack do not handle malloc failures gracefully, either. In my experience, that meant I got many more desktop crashes in mode 2 than in the default mode with the usual kernel OOM handler and its forced process termination.
So many comments here saying that spam is killing e-mail, but even with very light spam filtering on a non-gmail account maybe 1 spam message a day gets through? I get more physical junk-mail than I do spam.

Is my experience unusual?
What do you do in your jeans?

I wear the same pair daily to do pretty much everything. I work, I shop, pick the kids up, walk to my parents house, do yard work, hike, literally everything in the same pair of jeans. I don't think there's a fabric yet made that could withstand the abuse I put on them for more than a year.

Although this pair I'm about to replace is at 16 months so I will revise to say "about a year"
Agreed, it's starting to get really annoying when models that aren't get announced as being "open source".

> avoid even the appearance of impropriety

the real world standard is don't do anything that knowingly or intentionally violates the law or your employers policies.

anyone can falsely claim that what you are doing is wrong but as long as it doesn't break employer policy or law then they are wrong.

in the corporate world it would be suicidal to "avoid the appearance of impropriety" because your competitors will slaughter you while they are following the letter of the law.
It definitely would benefit from that, people like to have success. (And know who they can blame in case of failure)

The easiest solution is probably brute force, have it try all the potential moves and see if it solves the game and if it does, make it a valid seed. Can be pregenerated, but should be doable in real time, also from a smartphone.

Also, I think I was just blocked from my first clearing, because I could not access all blocks.

Rotating the view and angle would be quite nice, but depending on your implementation, not trivial.

Maybe I implement it with babylonjs or threejs these days, it is a fun game.
Fajny!

>>>There's actually much more risk in not learning the practicality of it and refining it by talking to as many people as possible than there is from it being copied.

Interesting nugget here. Thanks
I think it is. Others might not. But it being open is the best part.
How would that work? Track down spammers and murder them? Could make for an interesting movie plot.
Patronage networks are a powerful force in the US so it's unsurprising that they're giving money to their political allies.
Why the hell are you tipping for coffee?
The real question is why obvious spam enablers like GetResponse and other email services don't get the same /dev/null treatment by Google. None of the email gatekeepers you now need to use to have your mails arrive do any verification (CSV import hello), yet they are obviously not met with the same bans.
Personally, I have no problem with CloudFlare's bot protection. My problem is with CloudFlare's lack of diagnostics and community involvement to resolve/explain false positives. I have no idea what obscure default setting to change in Firefox to make it work.
This is, in fact, a problematic case. RSS is expected to be consumed by other applications and bots. To make things worse, it might not be immediately obvious to the site owner when CF is interfering with the access to his content.
Warranties aren't worth the paper their printed on when there's nowhere close by to service your equipment. Anyway farmers don't want a warranty they want their equipment to work.
As a casual observer, Intel seems to have commitment issues. It's not like they haven't made or are not making attempts in some of these markets but they can seem half-hearted even when those ventures aren't mothballed or sold off outright.
I'm about to venture into setting up a new email server. Mainly in that I'd been wanting to play with WildDuck.. and second in that I'd like to stop paying to relay though SendGrid, which I've been doing the past several years.

I setup a dedicated server not on a major cloud host, and am not looking forward to all the details involved in the lack of trust starting out. Let alone the dark art of spam detection. But I want to get back into it if only because I don't like how the major parties are cornering things up. I also want to be able to actually handle mail for several domains and not have it nickel and dime me to death. It costs way more for a single email account these days than it does to run a few dozen minor websites.

While it's nice that Google Domains (when you use their DNS) and Cloudflare both have included email forwarding, sometimes you want an actual box to send from too. And with the partitioning that GMail now does, I can't find anything anymore without hunting for it... the only benefit is two of the subtabs, I'm able to just delete all once in a while.

I wish that email were much more reliable and able to actually setup 2-way relationships similar to IM clients. And of course, limit/remove third party info sales/spam in those relationships.
Would Spam stop if people stopped responding to it? There has to be a non zero amount of stupid people that react to junk mail and make a purchase or fall for some scam. This number is only increasing with more people coming online.
Why does it? With how much it hallucinates, it's likely to be objectively worse than existing RegEx filters.
Got SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM when I went to the site and a redirect to https when I manually changed the protocol to http. I turned off https-only mode in Firefox so it appears to be a redirect that your server is sending back.

When I change the protocol and get the redirect back to https there's another "/" which is added after the domain such that "domain/path" becomes "domain//path". This repeats if I continue to change the protocol and hit the redirect such that "domain//path" will become "domain///path" (I noticed this because there was like 6 of them).

Apologies if this is indeed caused by my browser settings; I've been unable to find the cause if that's the case.
yet another model using the stanford alpaca dataset, what a waste of time.

Then make VISAs an auction if the goal is maximum value extraction, not some weird arbitrary 'allow all X class (in your case master degree graduates) because they are of 'more value' for 'XYZ reason'. But that isn't the goal nor the will of the American people who have codified a system of ensure the chance for immigration is spread across the world. We are a nation of immigrants most of whom came with nothing. Our goal is giving that opportunity to others who need it. Plenty of countries offer 'golden visas'. If that is how one wishes to immigrate, one can move to one of them today.
It’s not impossible, you’re just giving up and refusing to be a part of the solution

The path of least resistance long run is demand dignity. The path of more resistance long term but ease short term is accept undignifying circumstances

You can make your situation and the worlds better by doing the right thing. Or you can sit and argue to a stranger why it’s ‘impossible’ to tell a potential employer to pound sand when they ask you to do something demeaning

Choice is yours
There are some types of services where it's straightforward to monitor private vendors: if you contract out trash pickup, and the vendor doesn't pick up people's trash, you will immediately get many loud, angry complaints from the populace. You hardly even need to proactively monitor them, really, it would just be instantly obvious if they did nothing.

In contrast, if you give non-profits money to help the homeless population, the feedback loop is more...ambiguous. If they just blow the money instead of helping anyone, who's gonna complain? The people that should've been helped won't even be aware of some random contract, and are used to different government and private entities failing them anyhow. The lack of clear impact from non-action means it's easier for organizations to get away with doing nothing, or at least doing nothing useful.

Now I'm sure there are some organizations doing great work, but how do you separate them from the grifters?
>There is now contagion with the policy still in place.

The situation is worse than it appears. SVB was a lung tumor, but the lungs aren't the only organs that have metastasized.
An important point is that Jagex has no ability to deal with bots. The simplest anti botting measures are not implemented, at all.

This story misses that, because an important followup to the point above is that these are not 1player:1charcter types making gold, but owners of bots and bot farms, associated with gold selling farms.

If botting was less prevalent, this would be a non story, and I suspect the reason RuneScape is even in the picture at all, as opposed to some other MMO.
Hehe. Former CL 55 owner here, that was pretty predictable...
i have dickies workpants i bought 15 years ago still going strong :)
Yeah what's curious to me is why OpenAI has grounds here vs [the abused 3rd parties]. Maybe they are trying to stand up for the people using their API as a courtesy because they want them to stay in business or something, but it seems the damaged parties are the 3rd party services bankrolling the access, and so they'd need to pursue legal action and/or patch their services.

I do imagine OpenAI has something in their terms where you're not allowed to use their APIs unless you agree to their terms, which includes payment and not using other accounts than your own (fraud). So maybe that's it?
But can ChatGPT 4 write a good melody?

that's absolutely not what i'm saying. if somebody wishes to take down a website they dislike, we (as website operators) should block their bot traffic. and we should use whatever reasonable methods we have to detect what traffic comes from bots and what traffic doesn't come from bots. that includes putting cloudflare in front of our sites.

and when some legitimate users really, really look like bot traffic because they circumvent whatever methods we use to determine whether traffic is coming from real people, they might sometimes get blocked along with the bots. they're going to complain about that, and the only thing we can do is listen to their complaints.
In terms of end-user quality of result, yes, I agree, but they're still wildly profitable, ergo they are not dying. They're a business. Their pulse is measured in dollars, not quality or user sentiment.
plus it doesn't seem to tune. no matter how many times i mark steam or fedex emails as not-spam, i just have to check there every now and again these days.
As a fellow Swede: having grown up in northern Sweden, I have both heard of this, and have personally witnessed cheese especially made for this practice in regular stores, but I have never tried it myself.

This is exactly the problem I face.

When I was poor(ish, not "can't afford food" poor) that never really was a problem either. For parties we often just pooled the money and went shopping for food/alcohol, or sometimes host provided the food for BBQ with guests getting and paying for alcohol.

Events when host paid for food/alcohol were usually only birthdays, and, well, then you "paid" with gifts.
If asked to estimate how many unarmed blacks get killed by police, Democrat voters give absolutely wild estimates when according to shooting databases the actual number is about 20 a year.

Uh, no.

By easily findable statistics, the number is more like 225+ a year - shot and killed. And is consistently disproportionate to the number of white victims.
It's possible, but AMD has supplied console APUs for two generations now because they are willing to sell them for cheap. Intel has never been interested in low-margin items, but they may need to be in the future. AMD has really targeted the gaming APU market. They make the chips for the Playstation, Xbox, and Steam deck. They also recently announced a new chip for gaming handhelds that Asus is using in their new ROG Ally device.
Sometimes I wonder why the Dutch hasn't done this yet.

But then I remember, it's entirely flat here.
This. Google has the best spam filters so far.

I wonder though, with the advent of new LLM models, it should now be trivially possible to build a zero-shot spam-filtering bot that is self hosted.

Who are these "Small government people" in San Francisco? Here is a much simpler description of the cycle in SF:

But spam is mostly from GMail nowadays. In the last seven days, 8 out of 10 spam mails I received (that didn’t get rejected outright) came from GMail.
It's actually become hard to find proper work jeans with no synthetic content now, even the baggy stuff where fit isn't so important. All of Duluth's stuff is part spandex or polyester now. Most Carhartt contains spandex or polyester, always check if it's important. Even if it's only a few percent, it's going to make cancer fumes if you're doing hot work.

Fabric manufacturers trending towards thinner and stretchier fabrics is primarily driven by production factors. Most dramatically, cutting the fabric. Stretchy fabrics are more accommodating to lay out flat for cutting, and thinner fabrics increase layer count in cut stacks [0]. Cutting thick stacks like this isn't remotely consistent, and why different instances of the same size garmet often vary in fit and size. Stretchy fabrics can be made with less precision and still "fit", reducing quality constraints to allow cheaper methods.

That’s why in Europe the gas nozzle doesn’t have the little lock - It requires that you keep pressing it. So that you avoid going back to the car, charging static, coming back to the nozzle and having a spark.
I didn't mention this. I am implementing the idea btw (and not waiting for it) and will have a MVP to demo, irrespective of what I do with the protection angle. It was more around what to do when I do set customer demo's.
As a user, O365's default spam filtering was just terrible about 2 years ago. I got so many false positives that I had to check my spam folder multiple times per day. I ended up adding very aggressive domain whitelists because I was so tired of it.
There is a wide spectrum of unsolicited mail, not all of it is stupid people responding to scams. I suspect the quality and response curves are inversely related.
I fail to see how this is off-topic. The topic of the article is religious faith among young people, and the person I replied to expressed a want to find Christian faith. So how is it off topic? At least admit you're being a tad-bit dishonest.

You link the guidelines but I haven't broken a single one in this thread lmao. I admit some other times I've brought up faith may have been off-topic as it relates to the OP, but on topic as it relates to my reply.
Bots have also made using nearly any dating app a chore. All apps are ruined by it, what we need is some regulations and jail (or some equivalent) to end this.

Fair point.
ProPublica has been by far my most satisfying donation. Their work has helped expose a ton of corruption and, as you say, sociopathy. They're transparent about where the money goes (mostly to the salaries of journalists).
>Users generally consider themselves better served if most unsolicited email they receive with no strong trust priors drops into a black hole.

If users really want that then they can just dump all email from addresses not in their address book. Some already do that. It turns out that most people actually want to be able to get email from entities they do not yet know.
Yes, but the cost of sending spam is close enough to zero that it takes very few responses to make it economically viable.
Gmail whitelists contacts and has done for a very long time.
This can be a major cultural issue as well. My wife is asian and her whole family looses their mind if someone tries to pay for a meal at a family get together. It can be a major issue of pride in many asian cultures when people try to pay for things.
Even theft and grift aside...many charities are just bad at achieving their goals. They think they're helping but end up causing more problems, e.g., food aid destroying the local farming industry.

For instance, the Red Cross raised $500 million for Haiti relief and ended up achieving virtually nothing due to extensive mismanagement and arrogance (trying to apply Western methods in a third-world country) [1].

Similarly to you, I detest all non-profit organizations. Rather have a for-profit organization or the government solve issues...but these still have their own issues.

Sending an e-mail full of links is a 100% valid use-case for e-mail. I don't see how it's "misusing" e-mail.
Isn’t is interesting that as a species we don’t have a way to understand where are we in our lifecycle? As a human I can understand life stages and where I am relative to other individuals. I can plan my life accordingly and of course there may be unexpected events but on average I know I have maybe 70-100 years to enjoy life.

As a species we have no idea if we peaked or we are in our infancy… one thing that will probably happen is that we too will cease to exist as a whole at some point. I wonder what this does to us as a group, not having that perspective.
This is really great. I've been talking with friends who have high schoolers, and it's clear that the college preparation and application process is incredibly stressful, time-consuming, and expensive. And that's for the kids who are a reasonably good fit for college, and who have supportive parents.

But so much of the market value of a college degree is in the signaling (just showing you were smart enough to get in) that it doesn't make sense to spend all this time, money, and heartache on this process. It's an arms-race dilemma for students and families, so it's hard to opt out of. But the more employers that move in this direction, the better things will be for lots of kids, and families.
> In my experience rich people are very 'outcomes focused'. They almost always expect something in return.

That's a pretty sad way to live. I mean, I guess when I'm back home and the "rich" person in the room (I went from rural america to FAANG salary), I just want people to enjoy themselves and not think about price when we're at a nice restaurant. That's the "outcome" I want.

Back in the bay area, the rich people in the room never seem to want anything in return for their hospitality. At most they want to hire me, but there's no expectation there.

Your experience (or maybe incorrect thought) is not what I've seen.
Bert Hubert had an excellent talk which exactly describes the problem of this phenomenon[0].
