there's two things here, passkeys as a mechansim to sign into your google account, and passkeys in general. i'll assume you're asking about passkeys in general, even though the announcement here is passkeys to sign into your google account - passkeys as a general standard were introduced earlier this year.

1. no, it's a cryptographic key stored on your device. but also yes, because if you're using a passkey on a device you sign into using your google account, google can lock you out of that account and potentially that device. if that device is your only way of logging into a service, you'd be locked out of the service in the same way that losing or destroying the device would lock you out of the service. but authorizing multiple passkeys and adding backup authentication methods is encouraged, so for practical purposes the answer is no.

2. you should understand that passkeys are issued by your device or browser. so if you don't want to trust google, you can use a passkey issued by safari or iPhone instead of Chrome or Android. if you're using an apple-issued passkey to sign into some other service that isn't your google account, google has literally no involvement anywhere in that chain.

3. not according to the spec. the passkey is a certificate that gets stored on your device. your device shares a signature (not the certificate) with the service you're signing into to prove you have access to the certificate. but they're issuing you the cert through their proprietary software. if you don't trust google to not snag a copy of the passkey when they generate it for you, you should use passkeys generated by an issuer that you do trust. (in apple's implementations, passkeys are synced through iCloud, so the answer there is yes - apple does have your passkeys and could sign in to services as you if they wanted. google is not doing that.)

4. you'd have to read the ToS for yourself to figure out what you could sue google for. but the more relevant thing than legal recourse is that this scheme doesn't really give google any power they don't already have, and in many ways distributes power out to third-parties so you have to trust google less. apple's passkey implementation is leading google's. others will follow. this is about allowing you to use an open standard to authenticate with your google account.
Sadly?

If a client comes to me and says one of the parts of their application was slow, and I come back to them saying I lowered the number of reductions with zero change in the wall clock time, they'll fire me, and rightly so.
Long on rambling anticapitalist sentiment, short on suggested alternatives that don't involve aiming guns at peoples' heads. I feel exploited. I want my 10 minutes back.

I saw some of these properties (Progress Residential) and the properties were not maintained in the slightest. These were move in ready propeties that haven't had an ounce of cleaning or maintenance.

There’s a bit. When I used the openai playground I have received warnings about response potentially being bad, but using the API directly I don’t even get warnings like that.

Testing things out, it will produce vile and hateful content on demand. However it won’t say anything. If I specifically tell it to use some words I get the same type of content warning but also an extra note about those words, and that I have to contact openai support if my use case truly requires their use.

There’s also the fact that using or distributing such content is against TOS, so I suppose could simply ban you

> Autistic adults have significantly low blood serum levels of AEA. Autistic people’s neurons prune slower. Schizophrenic people’s neurons prune faster.

These are all group-level findings, meaning they aren't true for every individual. You can do a study and find that there is a statistically significant difference in mean X between two samples – autistic vs control or schizophrenic vs control. But pretty much always, although there is a statistically significant difference in the mean, the two samples overlap – which is consistent with this being a factor which only explains some of the cases.

> It seems the ECS system is the principal driving mechanism behind both conditions.

Claims like that ("the principal driving mechanism behind psychiatric diagnosis X is biological difference Y") have been made many times before, and few of them have gone anywhere. I'd be surprised if this one turns out differently.

Both autism and schizophrenia are bundles of different conditions which we've grouped together on the basis of nothing more than overlapping systems. Two people can both have "autism", yet at a biological level they've got two completely different things. The same applies for two people with "schizophrenia". This is why a number of researchers have been arguing that diagnosis-centric research is a dead-end.

I wouldn't be surprised if ECS system issues (or any other system in the brain) turn out to be the cause of some cases of autism and some cases of schizophrenia; but there will be other cases of both in which it isn't the "principal driving mechanism" at all.

> To avoid the consolidation of power in the hands of a few deciders

Without jury nullification, I'm not quite sure how a jury actually avoids this. If the model is that the jury is tasked specifically and exclusively with listening to the specific laws deemed relevant by the lawyers, hear the evidence, and determine whether the combination of the two justify the charges then an unskilled jury is a risk. A seasoned judge would have a better ability to parse the case law and evidence to make this determination.

Without giving the jury the responsibility to deviate from what may technically have been a crime, why are they there? Do they really have a better skillet to determine whether the evidence proves beyond reasonable doubt that the law(a) were broken?
Nope: https://www.ehn.org/pfas-floss-2658203711.html

Not exactly. The "censorship" is the RLHF tuning in the chat models as far as I understand it; the API for the chat models is the same AFAIK. The base models don't have censorship, but there are no base models available for API access for GPT-4, only a chat model. You can use the GPT-3-era base models, but, well, they're not as good as GPT-4.

Schizophrenic people are also very often smokers, but there's a good reason for this; nicotine is actually a very effective treatment for schizophrenia symptoms, better than the actual medicines.

This is similar to how MCU read protection usually works --- once you set it, you can't (easily, at least --- but still possible with the right equipment or $$$) read out the firmware, but you can still do a "full erase" which clears the device to an entirely clean blank state.

Yeah, the basics of LangChain are fairly simple, and reimplementing a loop like that in Go, including tool usage, was very straightforward when I was writing Cuttlefish[0] (a toy desktop chat app for ChatGPT that can use stuff like your local terminal or Google).

The magic in LangChain, though, is the ecosystem. I.e. they have integrations with tons of indexes, they have many tool implementations, etc. This is the real value of LangChain. The core ReAct loop is quite trivial (as this article demonstrates).

This is purely anecdotal, but it reminds me of the recent mental health revelation by Kevin Smith. He was baked all day, every day for 15 years, but quit cold turkey after checking himself into a facility for a month.

I thought his discussion about it was interesting. Clearly there was other stuff going on, but he apparently felt his cannabis use was enough of a contributing factor that he decided to stop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBvc7Ny4iUk

Oh, yeah - "text in a Git repository" is table stakes for developers. Ditto being open source to avoid lock-in. (Which is why Anvil has both! You can check your code out, edit in VS code, and host locally.) But if you want a visual UI editor, you gotta have the tooling somewhere...

Aside: I get grouchy about the term "low-code", mostly because it's almost always a lie (you're going to need the code, and most "low-code" systems just hide how much that's going to hurt - which is why we put the code front and centre), and it causes people to lump Anvil in with, eg, Retool rather than, eg, Pynecone/Viola/Beeware...but this is definitely getting off topic ;)

Interested to hear how your scale-up/B2C users deal with the round-trip delays - I guess that's less of a deal with websites than interactive apps? (Should probably have grabbed you at PyCon to ask, but we were both pinned down pretty hard! I did manage to wave at you though, I think...)
One thing to keep in mind is even with a fixed-rate mortgage you're still facing increasing costs throughout the loan in the form of property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. Based on the housing market appreciation, I believe my future property taxes will be about the same as my initial mortgage payment by the time I finish paying off the loan. Then factor in the increased costs to fix and update things? I think I was better at saving money back in the apartment days.

llama-65b on a 4-bit quantize sizes down to about 39GB - you can run that on a 48GB A6000 (~$4.5K) or on 2 x 24GB 3090s (~$1500 used). llama-30b (33b really but who's counting) quantizes down to 19GB (17GB w/ some optimization), so that'll fit comfortably on a 24GB GPU.

A 4-bit quantize of a 1000B model should be <600GB, so would fit on a regular 8x80 DGX system.

If I own Google, I’m not willing to run the experiment of hiring a thumb-twiddler to run my trillion-dollar company to save a few hundred million dollars. I’m willing to pay an extra hundred million dollars to hire someone who appears to be 1% less likely to be a thumb-twiddler, even though I don’t have an oracle that can measure candidates perfectly. If that oracle existed, the market wage would probably be 11 figures instead of 9.

In reality, there are few people who have had to opportunity to show their ability to run Google. You have the small set of people who ran tech companies as big as Google, or who ran big parts of Google. Those people are in high demand, which is why 9 figures is the market rate for the most appealing of the bunch.
Women are expected to not be fat, but men are expected to be tall. It's easy to hit the gym, but height is impossible to change. It's also socially acceptable for women to fake good looks by wearing makeup and high heels, but for men, it's not socially acceptable. So yeah, women have it much easier beauty standards.
Presumably a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the gift exclusion rules. It’s a common misunderstanding that gifts over the annual exclusion limit ($17K per donor-recipient pair, so a couple could give a person $34K or a couple could give a couple $68K in a year) incur tax. They do, but only after exhausting the lifetime gift exclusion amount (currently a little over $12M per donor). There is also a process for designating that you’re gifting 5 years’ worth of gifts all at once (so 5x the amounts above before even touching the lifetime exclusion amount).

It would be exceedingly rare for a $200K gift to actually incur a gift tax payment (though it would require a Form 709 gift tax disclosure filing).
What’s wild (to me) is how much the iPad has gradually grown in its proportion of the pie, especially as the pie itself grew. I know some people use it as their primary device, but it’s always felt intuitively niche to me despite knowing that. But the sales paint a very different picture, with iPads barely trailing Macs.
In the declaration

char letter = 'x';

the initialization expression 'x', which for historical reasons is of type int in C, is implicitly converted to the type of the object. `letter` is a `char` because you defined it that way.

If you had written

int letter = 'x';

that would be perfectly valid, and the conversion would be trivial (int to int).

It's just like:

double x = 42;

`sizeof 42` might be 4 (sizeof (int)), but `sizeof x` will be the same as `sizeof (double)` (perhaps 8).

If you're working at a for-profit corporation, "the mission" is "money", so there's no distinction between "here for the mission" or "here for the money". Anyone who says otherwise is either naive about what the mission is, or lying (which I can't blame them for, because that's often the politically savvy move). Exceptions exist, but they're temporary because competition usually kills them.

Sadly, the mission is often money at nonprofits as well, because capitalism won't let you survive without it. But the "here for the mission" folks skew a lot more toward the "naive" side of the spectrum than the "lying" side. Again, exceptions exist.
They are at low orbits which would need constant servicing to stay there, and they big and heavy, so moving them up into a higher permanent orbit would be very expensive.

Spectrum is not the opposite of binary. You probably mean gradient, from your context.

This argument again. It's so incredibly obvious that it does not apply, but so many people seem to think "oho, but some humans can't do <thing no AI can do>! That means you think those humans aren't intelligent either!" is such a gotcha.

Just about any human can be taught to drive in the snow. The capability is there; the skill just hasn't been developed. Take a Californian to Upstate NY, force them to commute 40 minutes to work for several winters, and they will learn (or they'll die, I guess).

Take a self-driving car from LA to Syracuse and force it to drive in snow for years, and all it will do is crash or refuse to try. We do not yet (to the best of my knowledge) know if it will be possible to teach self-driving cars to drive in snow. It seems likely, but it hasn't yet been achieved, and in a field like this, "haven't achieved it yet, despite trying" and "don't know if it can be done" are very close together.

Even if this were true, rising share prices don't necessarily indicate efficient deployment. Chasing short-term share price increases often incentivises behaviour detrimental to company in the long-term.

Pure capitalism is unique in that it's non-political as such. (Mind you, there will be always be some political activity, because you will never find pure Capitalism, just as you will never find pure Communism.)

Slavery and feudalism I would class as specific 'political' forms of capitalism. Our modern capitalism is not pure. Wage slavery is slavery. Racial discrimination leading to lower incomes for specific ethnics is a form of modern-day feudalism, etc.
This sounds really, really dumb, but learning vim keybindings is the type of subject matter that would lend itself to 'tiktok' video ('influencer' video).
