Well then at what point will they be learning the syntax of another language? They’d be well past the point of beginner by then, no?

Yeah I really did not understand what they were suggesting with "device verification" but it seemed both ineffective and likely to provide them with far more data than needed.

I'd say that I don't think children should be limited in opportunity due to the circumstances of their upbringing, but with those considerations in mind, protecting them from finding a way to access pornography is pretty low on that list of priorities, especially given that legislation like this will be wholly ineffective at accomplishing its purported goal and will needlessly burden the people who are legally trying to access pornography.

It's just not possible to address this issue without there being an intersection of how adults also access these adult things. A lot of other access controls in society are more reasonable than any proposal that people have come up with in this thread to restrict online pornography access to minors. This is why we place the burden on parents.
Richard Gabriel coined a word for those things: compressed definitions.

When a thing looks like reuse or abstraction because it implicitly pulls in something else in a coupling way, it's really about exploiting shared context in a way that allows the new definition to be much briefer than it otherwise would have been. However, it still relies on full knowledge of the context, so in terms of conceptual load, there's no difference.

Just as with other types of compression, the shared context becomes the global coupling across definitions.
I wonder if Samsung would partner with the government of South Korea to make their own LLM.
It doesn't even address the fact that the British monarch has a weekly, private meeting with the Prime Minister.

Why express political opinions in public like a pleb when you can directly express them to the Prime Minister (who is bound by oath to serve you)?

https://www.royal.uk/audiences : The King holds a weekly Audience with the Prime Minister to discuss Government matters. The Audience is entirely private. Though The King remains politically neutral on all matters, he is able to 'advise and warn' his ministers - including his Prime Minister - when necessary.

From the article -

“The clip uses special effects to create a sense that the world the characters inhabit is gradually transforming from black and white to full colour. The ABC filmed the entire episode in colour, but transmitted most of the show in black and white. The final colour segments were created by overlaying the colour image in a gradient fashion to create the sense that the characters were gradually being saturated with colour.”
Any security model that can not differentiate the device owner from a threat actor misses the point of who security is meant to protect.

TPM and secure boot combined can create computers that run key-per-cpu encrypted system binaries that can not be modified by the device owner meaning next time microsoft does something fucky there will be no path out, no programs to disable it, its just how you have to live now.

Its not worth it to head down that path.
You are perfectly right and thanks for the link.
Rephrasing my question - which shouldn't have been about citizenship at all, rather I wonder what makes it relevant that the constitutional rights are being invoked here. As Reddit is an open site, users come from all over the world. Is that so the alleged crime has been committed on US "soil", aka Reddit as an American site or at least the server is hosted in the US? I don't even want to bring CDN's into this, haha.
No no no no no it'll run it to the ground like the USPS, or, gasp, the Israeli postal service (which, coincidentally, also lets you open bank accounts). (We actually have it super good in the states with door to door package delivery. It could get so much worse.)

> When machines take over more work and boost our productivity, Brynjolfsson says, that's generally a great thing. It means that society is getting richer, that the economic pie is getting larger.

> after the software company adopted AI, the average customer support representative became, on average, 14 percent more productive. They were able to resolve more customer issues per hour. That's huge. The company's workforce is now much faster and more effective. They're also, apparently, happier. Turnover has gone down, especially among new hires. ... Not only that, the company's customers are more satisfied.

This is all great... for the company. Is it great for their people though? I don't think so. It has many benefits that allow the company to perform better and save money by hiring less qualified people who require less training and are more easily replaced. IOW, it moves workers more toward commodities and removes any leverage they may have based on their skills and talent to earn more money.

Let's just skip ahead to the part where all workers are replaced by AI. (I know that's never going to happen, but let's examine the limit anyway.) How are people supposed to pay for all the wonderful shit that these successful companies are producing? What's the economic value of a person in such a world?

I do appreciate that Google is now officially supporting gcsfuse because it genuinely is a great project. However, their Kubernetes CSI driver seems to have in large part copied code from the one I and a co-maintainer have been working on for years:

- https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcs-fuse-csi-driver

- https://github.com/ofek/csi-gcs

Here is the initial commit: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcs-fuse-csi-driver/c...

Notice for example not just the code but also the associated files. In the Dockerfile it blatantly copied the one from my repo, even the dual license I chose because I was very into Rust at the time. Or take a look at the deployment examples which use Kustomize which I like but is very uncommon and most Kubernetes projects provide Helm charts instead.

They were most certainly aware of the project because Google reached out to discuss potential collaboration but never responded back: https://imgur.com/a/KDuf9mj

> As of March 2023, 14 states either have not yet formally repealed their laws against sexual activity among consenting adults or have not revised them to accurately reflect their true scope as a result of Lawrence v. Texas.

While Lawrence v Texas does limit these laws, there's a concerted effort to repeal it, and if that happens, these laws will go back into effect.
> Sorry about being pedantic, but is no such thing as fake content, there is only more content.

This isn't pedantic, it's ignoring context: In context, "Fake" clearly means that the so-called review wasn't written by a human who had used the product. Given what a review is, and what purpose we expect reviews to serve, so-called "reviews" written by a language model are clearly fake, just like a non-driveable toy car is a fake car.

Nuclear energy works since more than half a century, large scale energy storage is still not available. So yes, it is de facto a science fiction technology at this point. It does not exist, much less does it have unbeatable prices. Again, one cannot simply demand that it is available and blame "scientists and industry" when it isn't available. Regarding subsidies: Germany has in fact massively subsidized renewable energy, but all this got negated by needlessly disabling nuclear power. Germany produces way more CO2 than France.
Some of that may be that cannabis sales are shifting to unlicensed (and thus untaxed) dealers.

WSJ had an article last week about California and NY screwing up legalization but some numbers from California:

$5.4 billion in licensed sales last year vs $8.1 billion in unlicensed sales. Licensed sales have 10% city cannabis tax, 15% state excise tax, and 9.5% state sales tax. With taxes, licensing, etc etc licensed weed is twice as expensive.

It is not irrelevant. THC builds up in the body, inhibits certain endocrine systems from functioning properly. Many people who are not aware they are addicts bite off more than they can chew often, just like with alcohol. The difference is that we have a social understanding of the effects of different ABV levels in drinks, and you expect beer to get you less drunk than Everclear. Well, almost every bit of leaf or edible in the dispensary is Everclear.
i think making the odd/even distinction is a mistake. It makes people say things like "2 is the only even prime" as if that's somehow different than "3 is the only prime evenly divisible by 3".

Even is a quality of division when the remainder is 0; even is a quality of making a rectangle with discrete integral sides.
"Support" can mean a lot of things.

Apple does not provide security updates for Catalina, which was released 3.5 years ago. People would be crazy to run unpatched OSes for any use case involving the internet or wifi.
no secure boot only enforces you run a trusted kernel not that the kernel enforces access controls and in a full secure boot implementation the user can freely choose what _they_ trust

and attacks which mess with the boot chain have been a huge problem for a long time for enterprises, TPM likely would have ended up very similar to how it did even if there wouldn't be DRM. Also the DRM lobby has since a long time pushed for moving (parts of) the DRM into the firmware (i.e. in a context where TPM doesn't matter much), which is where vendor-locked secure enclaves and similar come in which are related to TPM2.0 but not the same. For example on some ARM/Android chips part of the DRM system is in a locked secure co-processor.

And just because something can be abused doesn't mean it isn't useful or it's fundamentally bad. Through you seem to be making exactly that argument now with a "but it was designed with bad things in mind" added, which is a IMHO pointless argument. What matters is what it _is now_, not why it ended up there.

And what it is now is an _essential_ security feature for laptops, which also can be abused iff used in combination with some other features and that other features are tweaked to harm the user (e.g. don't allow custom keys for secure boot).

I have to ask if anyone's actually following what GPT4All was doing.

GPT4All was about abusing random projects that make paid queries to OpenAI, not abusing OpenAI itself.

Take what they were doing to phind: https://github.com/xtekky/gpt4free/issues/153

This is like finding an image hosting site that uploads to S3, then writing a fake S3 client that actually uploads to the image hosting site, and calling it "Free S3 access". Amazon gets paid either way, you're not ripping them off in anyway.

Honestly this is OpenAI going above and beyond what they actually need to do, and for some reason people are using it as an excuse to take low effort swings at them.
Yeah a bit of LLM help would have saved me sooooooo much time.

I had to create a bunch of very convoluted rules based on whether the preceding and following two words were verbs, nouns, adverbs, end of a sentence etc and with those I could be sure I was right about 95% of the time.

Eg before a noun it’s always his or her.

But some really do require a little intelligence beyond grammar rules.

Eg for ‘It is definitely his’

Both swaps make sense grammatically:

‘It is definitely hers’
or
‘It is definitely her’

You’d need to understand the context to get it right.
I like to joke there are platforms that were so ahead of their time they are still ahead of ours. The AS/400 is one such thing. It concerns me IBM doesn't seem to provide enough entry-level resources (and I believe nobody would do a green field project on IBMi that required a company to invest on the platform unless it already had a sizeable investment on it). For all three of their crown jewels, AIX, Z and i, IBM is doing a terrible job in onboarding new clients.

BTW, I've been trying to set up a small AIX box to do some software testing (and not make the mistake of making a Unix app dependent on linuxisms) on IBM cloud and, even when you navigate the confusing UI and metaphors (there is no "give me a POWER10 AIX VM with this many vCPUS, this much memory and this much disk" option), it's failing for me for unfathomable reasons while trying to create a storage volume with the default options. On a side note, I can create a Linux VM running on s390x from the same flow I create x86 ones, but I can't select a z/OS disk image, or a POWER processor. If I want a z/OS machine, I have to go through an entirely different workflow (one I went through, only to never be able to figure out the IP addresses I could ssh to).
I have worked with these extensively - my employer uses one for work, and I have written software both in the greenscreen / ILE languages and in the PASE environment / IFS to accomplish certain tasks (e.g. setting up an intranet site with PHP to present pretty-fied reports of what's in the databases).

I think one of my favorite things about it is actually IBM's Data Description Specification (DDS) [0]. You use it for the same reason you'd use a `CREATE TABLE` statement in SQL, but the syntax is much more legible / suited for that purpose, and the file is stored permanently (and used to spool up a "physical file" with the given format, where the data is actually stored).

Definitely encourage anyone who is curious about these / esoteric OS's in general to look into them - you can get hands on through IBM's "Cloud for Co-Creation and Enablement" (I believe it's been renamed) or PUB400 [1].

No. Why do you think I'm saying that?

I'm saying that over the course of several years, A is better for chip advancement and availability than nothing at all. And in the real world it's A+B vs. just B, the same amount of B in both scenarios.

I would actually be fine with this if the mandate is simply to hold deposits and lend deposits with appropriate risk controls. But if the goal is to use that control to accomplish political ends like suppressing wage growth or providing stimulus then I don't think it's a good idea. If the Treasury wants a loan from the Fed to do these things that should be how it's done.

Student Loan forgiveness is another thing entirely because those loans are held in public corporations, and if congress wants to use tax money to forgive them they can. You can already get some or all of your loans forgiven in very limited circumstances such as paying them for 20 years without paying them off, or if you teach at a public school for more than 5 years.

20 years of repayment at 300-600 a month is pretty crippling. That's like buying a new car on a loan every 3-5 years. Even income-based repayment has limits on how small your payments can be.

Student loans are also statutorily impossible to discharge in bankruptcy, unlike every other form of debt.

So I think we need to do something, and it seems like the simplest thing to do is make them the same as other loans. We should allow you to declare bankruptcy and discharge your student loans. This won't fix a lot of the knock-on effects but it will get people out from under the loans.

> These were prone to (relatively primitive) bus sniffing attacks, where you would hook up a Logic Analyzer to the bus, watch a regular boot procedure grab the disk key, and then use software like Dislocker to extract all data from a USB Live Linux or alike.

The TPM supports encrypted sessions, but they are opt in. See Parameter Encryption in the TPM spec. The issue is that Bitlocker doesn't use them for whatever reason. If Bitlocker turned on encrypted sessions, it would be not possible to sniff the key. It's crazy that Microsoft keep things insecure.
Due to the direction of rotation of Earth, for most launches you want to launch East-SouthEast. And you need a corridor ~1000 miles long, so that basically means you want to be on the Atlantic. Being on the Gulf also works, but it does limit you on available launch corridors due to Florida and Cuba being in the way.

And you also need a 4 mile undeveloped radius from the launch site. It's really hard to find 8 miles of undeveloped East Coast coastline.

OTOH for polar launches you want to launch North or South. Vandenburg is a great site to launch South from, but if Alaska is acceptable then there are many possible launch locations there.
