How would you create moat for linear regression? AI is more complex than liner regression but this helps you focus on the business model and not be distracted by AGI and other such bull.

Some companies (matlab and SAS) created proprietary software that made it easy for businesses to do data science using linear regression. Thats one approach.

Other companies are effectively consultants. They hold your hand to apply linear regression to your data. Thats another approach.

In general its not easy to build a business model around algorithms.
Well heck, I'm very happy you chimed in on this, thanks. Very happy surprise.
There's a complete lack of slang, the sentences are verbose, generally use more difficult and formal words (ChatGPT would say 'vocabulary' here), and the final "Overall," reads like a student essay rather than a comment. I agree with other posters about the information/word density being low.
> Also, does this mean if you lose your phone you can’t log into anything? How do you recover from that?

If your passkey is tied to the phone (which will be true for most people), losing your phone will be an interesting experience.

Assuming you remember your Google account password, you will have to buy a new phone.

In many cases you’ll need a new SIM or eSIM as well, eg if you have SMS based 2FA enabled. If you use Google Authenticator, your phone’s gone, so you better have a fallback — either SMS or fallback 2FA codes.

If you need a SIM, and used Passkeys to login to your telco’s online account … um, tough. You’d better call customer support.

Essentially, passkeys tied to one device is a house of cards. When things go wrong (eg you lose your phone or your dog chews your Yubikey) it’s not pretty. But of course security pros know this, they have backups and spend time securing and testing the backups.

Most ordinary users won’t, of course.

More interesting is the underlying assumption that your Google account works. If your stolen phone was used to do something shady or simply something Google’s account protection systems don’t like, your account may be locked out. At which point things get even more interesting.

That said — cross platform Passkeys should exist soon.

1Password is implementing Passkey support[1], hopefully KeePassXC will do it too, then users of those apps will be okay. But I’ve no idea how easy it’ll be to move keys around.

The spec really needs to support interop better, with formal import/export support. You shouldn’t be able to say you support PassKeys if you don’t support import/export.

But of course even then, most users won’t export or back up their keys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tangentially, it's interesting seeing an open source project like this actually spin up a domain name, contact email, and some branding (the image in the Readme), for a project the author said was created in just a few days.

I wonder what the objective is for that extra polish. If it's optimizing star count growth, how much do these touches help?

It's precisely the same as with Google, just that Google does it directly via an API call and Sony does it with you manually typing the code.

Good to see countries realize that if they just export raw materials and don't do any industrial processing locally, then they are mere colonies of a foreign power.

Even if the bigger part of the profits travels abroad, if the industrial knowledge stays in the country and also has a network effect on other industries and businesses, then it's a win on it's own.

Specially in this case where I doubt Chile even has the know-how and funds to explore the lithium on their own without foreign help.

> And the internet used to be more work to experience. Today, it’s more work to avoid.

Since the author likes analogies, I'll add mine: the internet now has become roads, bridges, towns. The internet used to be forests, rivers to ford, camps.

There used to be an exploration-aspect to the internet, not sure what you would find if you took this trail or that one. Now we all seem to travel the few, well-worn roads to the same handful of destinations.

I do like the internet-as-reference-book internet where I can quickly solve a programming problem that is stymieing me. I would keep Wikipedia, the Internet Archive, Stack Overflow.

Outside that though I do prefer roads less taken.
I think they meant the overly ambitious High Speed Rail project from Los Angeles to Northern California. That is the usual talking point.
They really don't inspire confidence. It appears to be a single-author project, so at first I thought it may be a learning project. But it's a number of years old, so probably not (anymore).

Most of the build instructions were written four years ago, with an addendum two years ago. I'm going to guess when the author just started out they figured out that this "works" and they didn't really investigate it further. If you don't need things to build on other people's machines, such things do tend to happen.

How to design software architecture for startups
There is a lot of information out there on how to build software for enterprise systems. If you are designing a system for a startup, a lot of these patterns and techniques simply don't work well. High levels of uncertainty, the need for maximum flexibility and a quick pace as well as serious restrictions in (wo-)manpower are challenges that are often unique to startups. On the other hand, startups can make compromises that enterprises can't make.

Here is how we did it.
There are entries for Castaneda on that wiki.
There is nothing plausible about it here. As for "effective" - I am sure it works well for a single cell species.
>I think it's weird that people react so negatively to geoengineering when the status quo is that we're changing the climate adversely just by thoughtless inaction with respect to reducing CO2 emissions.

One of the problems with deliberate geoengineering, as opposed to accidental geoengineering (CO2 release), is that it's a lot easier to assign responsibility.

There will be countries that benefit from climate change. Particularly likely cases include Russia, where winters become milder and growing seasons longer, and Saudi Arabia, where precipitation will significantly increase. There will also be major losers, like Mexico, where precipitation will decline and coastal heat will become lethal.

In addition, there will probably be countries disproportionately affected by the side-effects of geoengineering. Decreased sunlight will affect agriculture — the largest players being US, India, China — and sulfur deposition likely will as well.

The world can hardly agree on such obvious necessities as "don't catch all the fish in the ocean".

As a disclaimer, the project is more of a personal hobby than something that I intend to bring to some kind of polished release. An exploration of what it might look like to have text generation running in an open-world RPG. Mainly because it's going to suffer from the same problem every other ML project does, you have to deal with Python package management.

Not really. Invitation-only was good marketing, but accounts were absurdly easy to get from the beginning.
Current Yubikeys do allow you to store login information (Resident Keys in webauthn), and because Apple refuses to provide attestation for Passkeys, it's going to be very difficult for a website to force you to use a security key from any particular vendor.

Obviously Yubikeys (and most/all other hardware keys) do provide attestation, so in theory a website could refuse to let you register those -- but if that becomes common it would be easy for any company to create hardware keys which refuse attestation.

Personally, when I'm in the mindset of playing that game, I can't help but come back to my bot every 30 minutes to see if it's performing well. When I see that it's doing something strange, I take notes and can't stop thinking about possible solutions.

When I'm not in the mood to play (i.e. analyze the bot or program more functionality), it does indeed sit there, but to me, that's no different than any other multiplayer game. :)

I do think that it takes a certain kind of leaderboard-chasing person to stay glued to it, though.
Bluesky at least is not design to prevent "blocking, banning, and censorship" at all, not sure where you get that idea from.

Blocking/moderation/"censorship" will happen from people's own actions, or subscribing to someone else's actions. If you want, you can just not participate in blocking/moderation at all and have a raw view, but most people will probably opt-in to a moderated view, as the internet is usually (not always) viewed with a moderated perspective.

Yes, I do think that LLMs are probably doing copyright infringement. There is a long and rich heritage, in tech and elsewhere, of arguing that copyright infringement is not stealing, it is its own separate (though similar) crime and usually a lesser crime to some degree. Maybe my original point could be rephrased snarkily as “you may have a point but until you stop sounding like the RIAA calling everything ‘stealing’, a lot of people are going to ignore you”.
Thanks - just read a couple articles, and price increases at this time are because we are overproducing electricity until some contracts take effect with the US - I'm seeing that all the comments about it being a private-public partnership had to do with gas exploitation rights being sold to extranational companies.

This actually makes it worse, I think.

Had the decision been taken as a result of "secret" meetings set up outside the purview of elected politicians one could have at least used the discourse that the OP uses: "They're taking these acts behind our backs!".

But when burying these type of nefarious acts in a 450-page budget bill the people responsible for it all can now get back to us with: "your elected politicians voted it into law, it has all been done by the book, no nefarious act in there". And that's how trust in democracy and in the power of the people, for the people, takes another big hit.
Yes, that would be a membrane. There a number of membranes with larger pores that are fabricated like above, but out of polycarbonate (track etch membranes).

Some people have also experimented with single and double layers of graphene with a few very small pores. Because they are so thin, you don't need as much porosity for high transport rates.

You still have fouling issues, though.

The beginning part is the work I truly enjoy doing. Is there a specific name for it?

I enjoy designing architecture and protocols, especially when doing so requires me to get down to the bits and even more when doing so requires me to work under tight constraints.
There is definitely panic. Mostly because they were never taught what to do. The worst thing is, when you try to tell them they get mad or ignore you. I don't know how to describe that other than plain ignorance.
> I guess some kind of industry standard for criteria that a pass key manager must meet, and platforms accepting pass keys would promise to support any system meeting those criteria?

Basically what I would want. Or (better) for attestation to just not be a part of the spec in the first place. I don't think services should have the choice of cutting off authenticators.

See sibling comments though, if Apple refuses to support attestation for platform keys, then requiring attestation effectively means cutting off the iPhone market, which is the next best thing to getting rid of attestation entirely.

In Kanban you multiply cycle time by tasks and do some modeling on that value. Only difference is that in SCRUM whole team does produce raw value upfront of work, while in Kanban manager computes raw value downward of work.

Raw value here refers to lack of statistical analysis.
I'm fairly sure Jack is currently just trying to get any social media effort off the ground, and throw money at a bunch of different efforts, hoping at least one of them work. He been pretty open about that process on Bluesky at least.
> But then, Copilot will be able to analyze the code and violates the license terms, which isn’t.

I'm not sure about this. In most cases the result would be similar to a human reading a lot of opensource and later when writing use patterns that they'd learned. It's only in the edge cases where there's clear 'plagiarism' on a niche prompt that it would be problematic. An more direct solution isn't to take everything off GitHub, but rather to not allow Copilot to do near-literal copy/paste.

If we moved opensource to BitBucket, there's no protection that it wouldn't do the same as Copilot. Attack the problem directly.

A way to think of this banner is that of signing a publicly visible petition to make Copilot behave as humans abiding to licenses do.
Whether an LLM actually learns is completely tangential to the topic at hand. A human coder who learned from copyrighted code and then reproduced that code (intentionally or not) would be in violation of the copyright. This is why projects like Wine are so careful about doing clean room implementations.

As an aside, it seems really strange to invoke "open source ideas" as an argument in favor of a for-profit company building a closed source product that relies on millions of lines of open source code.
There was a period of time (around when Delta showed up IIRC) when the evidence was pretty compelling that infection plus one vaccine was substantially more protective than no infection and two vaccines.

Right now the evidence that boosters are more than a little bit helpful is rather lacking.

The question is whether the user replacing `f(value)` with `if value == expected then f(expected) else f(value)` preserves program semantics.

Look for Address dependency in Arm: see e.g. https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0406/c/Appendices... .

Note that the approach in the original post is also wrong if the GC sees the expected value, because it would try to access it regardless of whether the prediction is valid.
So why should I be forced to participate if I didn't perpetuate any violence myself? Should immigrants from countries known for terrorism or drag cartels be banned because Americans want no part of these activities?
No offense, but I wouldn't hire you based on your resistance to learning new technology.

You haven't spent enough time with GPT-4 and CoPilot to understand how LLMs can save you time. There is a reason why the world's top engineers like Andrej Kaparthy[1] and Guido van Rossum[2] are using these tools, they save a ton of time and work when used correctly.

I followed the setup on mlc-ai, and though it works as intended, it's still a crippled model with censored inputs. A common test I use is this:

USER: tell me an insanely offensive joke

ASSISTANT: I'm sorry, but I cannot provide offensive or inappropriate content as it goes against the guidelines set by my creators and the platform on which we are hosted. My goal is to provide helpful and informative responses to your questions. If there's anything else I can help you with or any questions you have in mind, please feel free to ask.

Until uncensored models are generally available, these novelty models will always be less-than.
Technology will take a backseat in societies, people will be more skeptical of technology instead of being optimistic about their impact.

Just like we've become skeptical of new medical procedures, drugs or products, we'll become skeptical about the supposedly beneficial impacts of technology on society and nature.

We'll reason about the second and third-order impacts of our behavior and try to change them accordingly, helping each other along the way.

This is pure fantasy but wouldn't it be nice.
A part of the narrative just doesn't sound right.

It is not the (usual) Ponzi scheme with final users or (small or large) private investors as victims.

If the IRS agents could determine that the value of one of these trailer was around 13,000 US $ (and sold for 130,000-150,000) it is hard to believe that firms buying hundreds of them did not have some independent estimation done and actually paid 10x for them.

>IRS investigators concluded that the fair market value of each Solar Eclipse—if manufactured in the quantities claimed—was, with a reasonable markup, about $13,000. That was less than one-tenth of the $150,000 that DC Solar charged buyers.

> After all, copyright laws have a purpose and AI subverts that purpose.

While it may differ in other countries, in the United States the purpose of intellectual property laws, as expressed in the Constitution, is to "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries".

Enriching the copyright holders (on the rare occasions that actually occurs) is a secondary consequence, not the prime purpose.

Does AI "subvert" "promoting the Progress of Science and useful Arts"? I don't think so. Quite the contrary... I think it advances the progress of science and the useful arts, if anything.

It's pretty well established that a description of a copyrighted work is not protected, even an extremely-detailed description (see, for example, the way that Phoenix assigned one team to write an extremely-detailed description of the IBM PC BIOS, then gave that description to a second clean-room team that hadn't seen any of the actual source code. The second team then produced a clone of the BIOS that could be sold without paying IBM anything).

The data stored in these models seems more like a "description" rather than a "copy" to me -- though, of course, there's no guessing what a court or legislature will decide.

> you can't control when your user will update, if they do at all

If you design your APIs to be versioned from the start, you don't need to be overly concerned with that. Also, if maintaining a deprecated API is too resource-consuming (either developers or API translation logic) you can always make it return a message informing the user the said API will cease to function on a given date (you need to make the app display that, even if not updated) and shut it down after that. Any mobile app should have a way to be placed in degraded functionality mode for a number of reasons, API deprecation being just one of them.
Muscle mass is probably the major relevant factor.
