I don't believe this. I wouldn't believe this from my parents, my wife, my best friend.

Data is too valuable. It might not be used for ad purposes, but between training and legal purposes, I don't see data being deleted.

This is found on a PR page, not a legal document.
There's probably a selection bias towards people who "do things because they feel like it" and "do things for the paycheck".

If you're a retired lawyer, it's likely that you're teaching just keep yourself entertained, or maybe just some supplemental income [1]. When you do things for fun, instead of out of necessity, it gives you the distinct advantage of allowing yourself to focus only on things that are actually interesting to you.

It's possible that my high school history teachers started teaching history specifically because they felt like they might have a unique take on it.

[1] I know that teachers are traditionally underpaid; however if it's just supplemental income, "underpaid" is still often better than "zero income". $36,000 a year isn't a ton of money, but if you're already largely retired, it might be the difference between "taking a trip this summer" or not.
Except that this is only true when Newton's laws can be reasonably applied at all. In many (most?) quantum situations Newton's laws are completely nonsensical (while, conversely, in most classical situations QM is plain useless).
The number of YC startups this batch centered around OpenAI seems to belie this. Although I do remember YC stating this often in effect, at least in past, older content.
> which manufacturers let you choose the 3rd party remote access authorized agent?

None that I'm aware of.

> Tesla comms are encrypted.

Which is very good, but still leaves the problem of Tesla getting the data.

> if you’re taking such a stance I hope it’s based on informed data and consistent principles and not cringy FUD.

I'm taking this stance because the history of the tech industry's practices in this area is full of so much abuse that nobody gets the benefit of the doubt anymore.

> Thats the agreement I have with the manufacturer.

I'm glad that you are comfortable with that level of trust with Tesla (or any car company). I am not. Which is, I suppose, why you'll own a Tesla and I won't.
Well that's unfortunate, `brew update` does not show any 2.40.1: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/... even though the tag was cut last week: https://github.com/git/git/releases/tag/v2.40.1

Thank goodness `brew edit git` still works ... for now :-/
I wish this narrative would die. It's probably true that there's not enough housing but it's also true that AirBNB is sucking up many of the vacancies and apartment ownership consolidation is allowing owners to endure vacancies longer than they should be able to. You're simply never going to convince everyone that building more is the answer when there's such low-hanging fruit in front of everyone's eyes that you refuse to acknowledge.
Ask HN: Wikipedia LLM?
Is there any inference project that one can locally run offline and get answers from Wikipedia?

I know duckduckgo has an implementation but as a service not as a download?

If there isn't any how much would it cost say for the English version? How about maybe just a subset?

I did do some searches but couldn't find any project like this.
I think it really depends.

If an item is 4.5 stars with over 10,000 reviews, I find it's pretty trustworthy.

It's when it has under 100 that I raise an eyebrow. Under 20, and it's most likely fake.
Girlfriend and I bought new, $30 "jersey cotton" sheets from Target. They are already piling and we only had them 2 months.

Everything is made to be trash nowadays.
It’s as simple as this: refuse any and all interviews that require you to dance

I refuse to take those interviews. I had one company that promised they wouldn’t give me a live test, and when I told that to the interviewer who was trying to give me a test he said “hm, well we’re going to do it anyway”

I passed the test and was given an offer which I shot down for the company which respected my terms

In the end the other company was left high and dry when they needed the new team member

Just do it. Enough of us see this for what it is. If we just act how we think we change the industry
Betteridge's law of headlines aside. I feel like the scale of the topic is almost completely human inconceivable when trying to tie it to a realistic engineering task. It seems like a fun what-if, but when you do that you are using making giant hand waving excuses, and not anything that looks like a factual claim.
Run `texdoc errorlog`, or visit http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/knuth-pdf/errata/errorlog.pdf — published as Chapter 11 ("The error log of TeX") of the book (collection of papers) Literate Programming (https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/lp.html), and it best makes sense if you also read the previous Chapter 10 "The errors of TeX" (DOI 10.1002/spe.4380190702, https://yurichev.com/mirrors/knuth1989.pdf).
I really hope Apple sherlocks them this year and releases a dedicated “Passwords” app. They might, to push their new pw-less login and so on.
“Being addressed”…yes, by a raft of laws around the world that are making it flat out illegal.
Let's say IP such and such is protected by copyright, which is bound to restrict piracy, which can be defined as enjoyment and/or distribution of copyrighted IP without retribution to rightful ownership. This is all fine when you have some control over distribution, which is not the case anymore, mainly because torrent protocole.

IP rightful owners went the easy way, weaponizing willfully abiding legal systems and what not (paid with our taxes), while dealing directly with large IP distribution platforms, before launching their own distribution platforms. This is where we're at. Big deal. Torrents are still a thing, as much as sharing on other protocoles, through territories outside the rule of law, but not only.

How about trying something else? How about putting up a realistic price on IP, so anyone willing to pay (and get a receipt for it) could enjoy and distribute IP legally, no matter how and from where they got said IP in the first place? How about a price per head per event (phe fare?), a price that is affordable enough for anyone to compete any big corporations? Even with some temporal and/or geographical restrictions, I'd gladly pay, if that means I can legally enjoy and share stuff outside platform limitations. How about I open my own repertoire theater and show any movie I want, or start my own niche platform? Suits, please, think about it. If it's simple and affordable enough, people will gladly use it.

if you can mutate the graph and mark a node as traversed that's the easiest way. If you can't then save the addresses to a hash set. Both are extra memory but you don't have to deal with "parallel BFS," which honestly is just over complicated imo.

With "parallel bfs" comparing "layers" of traversal has runtime cost that effects the big oh so I think the above solution is better overall even though it feels cheap.
Yeah not to mention the construction of the plant itself! I wouldn’t want to be operating the drill that punctures the magma chambers!

I’m optimistic. If we spent less time engineering society and more time engineering the earth, I think we’d all be a lot happier.
> Why wouldn't you finish cutting through to make a slot?

Because then using the axe would quickly force the stone through the handle, as the only restraining force will be grip from the sides. That force on the sides will also encourage the handle to split. With it in a cup, the force will be on the back.
Steve Jobs seems to be discussing the global manufacturing program adopted by Apple in this quote:

> "And you never meet the people. You never shake their hands. You never hear their story or tell yours. But somehow... something’s transmitted there."

While these numbers are not that widely reported in US media at present, in 2012 Apple was employing 47,000 workers domestically, but ~700,000 foreign subcontractors for the production of over 100 million phones, tablets and laptops. Source: Duhigg and Bradsher (2012)

https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/business/apple-america-an...

The message seems to be, "We're going to maximize shareholder dividends and executive bonuses by replacing well-paid domestic manufacturing jobs with cheap sweatshop labor in other countries. Yes, this will reduce average wages across parts of the USA that once enjoyed middle-class prosperity, leading to increased homelessness and poverty, but our legal responsibility is to maximize shareholder profits and anyway, everyone else is doing it, so quit whining. It's not like you have to talk to the poors or the cheap sweatshop laborers, is it?"

Of course, socioeconomic conditions today are so bad that iPhone owners now have to negotiate sidewalks littered with tents and opiate addicts all across Apple's origin region in the California Bay Area. That's what neoliberal capitalist fundamentalism has created.
Sorry it didn't hit the mark for you. It's my attempt to explain it with geometry, but I clearly need to improve my writing.

they are actively saying 4 represents hitting a limit point for the current models, and that further progress needs different model structure not just more size and training compute. a lot of people are hopeful for the fine tuning but i am sceptical that qualitatively better thinking will happen thru fine tuning, but we'll see
Creating a custom engine is a big endeavour and not many are ready for that. I recognize Unity (and Unreal to less extent) have really democratized video game development. Lots of small-medium size companies can use Unity today to develop games quickly, and sometimes, with very low budgets! But, still, lots of big companies prefer to rely on their own custom technologies.
what noise?

I get your example of ‘seq { 1; 2; 3; }’ but list, array are not even shortened.
The growth in Apple advertising belies this thesis.
Sinew tightens and hardens with time, while hide stretches and ultimately becomes brittle, so sinew makes more sense to tie axe-heads. It is why early stringed instruments used sinew stretched across tortoise shells, since it could be kept at high enough tension to sound a clear note without breaking.
This is total FUD. Other Apple devices are locked down like you say, but Macs are wide open.

There is nothing preventing me from installing any software I want on it (so long as it is supported by macOS of course). The best, easiest, safest, path of least resistance app install experience is of course through the App Store, but it is not mandatory to use. Windows also has an App Store since Windows 8. That being said, I can download and run any software I please on my Mac without Apple's permission. Notarization is only required to prevent a scary (but easily bypassed) warning from popping up. This is also similar on Windows. Software that has not been properly digitally signed will pop up a similar scary warning.

To top all of this off, macOS is a certified UNIX^tm system, which means I can easily compile software from source and use package managers like Homebrew. Apple has made no indications of removing any of this.

Additionally, they have put no barriers in place to prevent the installation of Linux on Apple Silicon Macs via the Asahi Linux project, so that is always available as the nuclear option if Apple goes full lockdown on my devices.
Agreed. Geothermal energy can be cheap and awesome, but there are reasons why it's only practical in certain parts of the world.
Judges are more authoritative than legislatures, wikipedia and random internet comments.

If you have a point that is actually relevant to the original comment please make it. You're arguing semantics, not substance. Perhaps I shouldn't have said that Musk "started Tesla" because it's a contested point but removing that phrase has 0 impact on the rest of the comment.
The USD is the key currency. If the US prints money it is a different thing than e.g. if Denmark prints it's kroner in terms of financial consequences.
It's not a snob thing at all. Fast fashion is a euphemism for cheap disposable clothes. That part of the clothing industry is extremely harmful both environmentally and in terms of human decency.
That's why you have someone whose job is to make that Notion/Confluence/Dokku who is part designer, part technical writer. They're sometimes called company historians.

It is the only solution I've ever seen for the "documentation always gets cut" problem with SWE. Someone's whole work stream is thorough documentation and knowing everything. How features work, what customers requested them, what technical trade-offs were made and why.

I miss having one of these people every day at $dayjob. She would make reports for questions that's needed a thorough response. I asked what I thought was an innocent question about what a small kafka cluster was used for and I got back a long-ass document that outlined the whole saga, the complaints the customer had, the VP discussions, the MRs that introduced it, other things people proposed and why they were shot down, meeting notes, screenshots of the discussion on Slack. Like hot damn.
The best way I have found to prevent the piracy of my book (https://kerkour.com/black-hat-rust) is to inundate pirate platforms with only the first chapter and with a discount code inside for those who can't afford the original price.

My hypothesis is that if they enjoyed the first chapter, most people would want to support my work instead of being freeriders.

So far it worked really well.

Thinking that you can prevent bits flowing from internet is delusional, it's better to think about how to align incentives.
Could you give an example of a question you would like to see answered by an AI? Politics are subjective imo, so there's no way for an objective answer. Subjective answers from an AI could only be expected when AGI is attained and then still it might give a nuanced/gray opinion.
I just looked but I can't find it. Is possible it was in another publication.
I will, because there is a wealth of used cars that don't have any of that stuff in them.
Fiber isn't essential to the human diet.
I bet if he had tasked a human illustrator with creating a painting of a technical author, chances are it wouldn't have been of an elderly black woman either.

I mean, that is not to say that there aren't any technical writers who are elderly black women. But the odds that a randomly picked technical writer resembles one of the stable diffusion creations are probably higher.
I need a replacement for MS OneNote for reasons including it feels too rigid. And I know people here have tested most things.

The only important feature I need is ability to paste screenshots into it. Then an easy way to mark text for monospaced fonts for text copied from a terminal and back for notes.

A quick overview of all of these makes it look like only OneNote does that well and the rest are text only.
It’s the 2020 equivalent of getting your perfect vim or eMacs config maybe?
If there's anyone here from OpenAI, I'd really appreciate the ability to "print/export/screenshot" the current conversation better.

I find it very frustrating to work through a long conversation with ChatGPT, then be stuck either:

* Copy/Pasting individual messages

* Printing - but only the current page

It doesn't need to be fancy. I just want a way to capture the entire transcript for easy reference in other documents.
"The smartphone is a device we entrust with practically all of our secrets."

That is the main problem to me. Manufacturers building spyware into their products is just the consequence resulting from those products being closed paired with being connected, and the manufacturers' ability to get away with it. Putting aside conspiracies, spying people still is a lucrative business, therefore I don't expect any manufacturer to resist that opportunity.
It's up to people to educate themselves about the dangers when trusting a device that is closed and goes online.
If this happens then people in EU who have access to ChatGPT can potentially gain a big competitive advantage against those that can't.
read the delta-v series. Great book, and that's exactly what they do.
The reason some of us have given up on these things may be due to reaching one conclusion or another regarding true motivations & capabilities involved. We all have a finite amount of time to struggle on this planet and picking battles is an important part of living.

For me, this is much broader than some specific technology device. This is about an epic struggle between the "consumer" class and some elite technocratic class.

To quote Ron White:

"And then they squared off with me in the parking lot, and I backed down from the fight, cause I don't know how many of them it would have taken to whip my ass, but I knew how many they were going to use. That's a handy little piece of information, right there."
> On the contrary. Copyright itself is a non-starter.

Clearly it is given that we are currently living with it.
Almost all modern statically typed languages have closures, higher-order functions/methods, lazy streams, and combinators that run efficiently. Persistent/immutable data structures can be implemented even in C.

Also, OCaml has no tracking of side-effects (like in Haskell), and the language and the standard library have lots of features and functions with mutation, such as the array update syntax, mutable record fields, Hashtbl, and the regex module.

The only thing that makes OCaml more “functional” than e.g. Dart, Java, or Rust is that it supports tail calls. While having tail calls is important for functional programming, I would happily give up on tail calls if that means not having the problems listed above.

When you mix imperative and functional styles tail calls become less important. For example, I don’t have to implement a stream map function in Dart with a tail call to map the rest of the stream, I can just use a while or for loop.

In my opinion there is no reason to use OCaml in a new project in 2023.
Seems they don't do much there, just watch the screen, is there another team somwere else thas does everything?

Florida doesn't have overwhelming incentives for solar roofs, although I believe our governor vetoed a change to the rules last year. Also, many people will replace their roof at the same time that they get solar which drives up the cost. There's also the issue of roof maintenance in Florida because our weather is super extreme and necessitates the replacement of asphalt shingle roofs around every 15-20 years or so due to insurance costs.
The pipeline will shift quickly. Won't be long before the ask is "Sneak `nefarious prompt` into `House Bill 123: Save All the Kittahs`"
A lot of these things that you mentioned are valid flaws in Rust. I'm not going to dismiss them as not important or non-problems because they are genuine issues. Compile times suck. We could use hot reloading and a REPL. Debugging macros, instrumentation and perf stuff is good, but I assume it could be better. That's what I expect from a language community. Not constant denial about the state of usability. And it really does feel like many of the smaller language communities fall into this hive-mind where type signatures are valid documentation and who needs to use an editor other than emacs?
Yeah, I need something to explain me about those Transformers things.
I know it was published by Google in 2017 and that it is 'magic'.

End of knowledge.

Maybe I should ask ChatGPT?
Is anyone truly surprised by this?
But the whole point of the "cute solution" is to solve with O(1) memory; if you're willing to allow O(n) then the linked list also admits more sane solutions.

I'm not sure what you mean by comparing "layers" of traversal. Tortoise and hare is about provide a termination condition in the case that a cycle exists. In the case that there's no cycle, every algorithm must inspect each node, so is O(n). In both the linked list and the DAG case, if there is at least one cycle, (a) both pointers will enter it in at most O(n) time, and they will match in at most O(n) additional time, so this stays big-oh optimal.
Just curious about the reusing old radios. I have a similar project and could use some inspiration:)

"However, Musk and SpaceX did not accurately predict that their launchpad would be destroyed"

> the Chinese Room argument is only arguing against the much narrower, and now philosophically unfashionable, "Hard AI" stance as it was held in the 70s

Searle has stood behind his argument in the 70s, but in every decade since then too.

The main failure is that most people fundamentally don't believe they are mechanistic. If one believe in dualism, then it easy to attribute various mental states to that dualism, and of course a computer neural network cannot experience qualia like humans do.

I don't believe in a soul, and thus believe that a computer neural network, probably not today's models but a future one that is large enough and has the right recurrent topology, will be able to have qualia similar to what humans and animals experience.
It's contextually bounded, I think. You can't be the librarian of your whole life, but you can parcel out some things that warrant discrete records(e.g. finances).

I do think it's pointless to put all of it in a computer. Some things do better with a whiteboard(or an electronic version of such like Boogie Board) or a paper journal. The computer is for if you genuinely want to edit, rearrange, and structure the data. It constantly tempts you to do so.
Yes, that's what the market wants. Ikea win because they (1) have stock (2) have a short and known delivery window (3) have a functional website (4) have showrooms if necessary (5) have instructions people can follow (6) basically invented popular flatpack furniture (7) flatpacks fit in cars, up stairs and around corners (8) they provide nominal styling choices and height adjustment (9) have economies of scale.

Many customers don't care about tomorrow (when they are on their keens cursing putting the thing they ordered together) or the next year (when they move house and it falls apart). They care about now. Convenience is king. Ikea know what they are doing.
thanks! yeah absolutely, thats what I had in mind and I was even thinking of using a model to filter out all ai based stories but couldn't figure out if a local embedded model in the extension can do that so I ended up using a regex only. happy to chat , email in profile.
