Not really. Florida effectively gave a large chunk of land to Disney. This has famously been covered in recent litigation and they tried to claw it back. Such that, no, I don't think you can take Disney's situation as at all indicative of something from the Florida land-use policies. Would be akin to financial advice from a lottery winner.

Unless you are saying maybe we should pursue more local governments run by a corporation? That also feels wrong, all told. Though, I would grant I don't have enough perspective there to know.
I think this is mostly an issue of tooling! I admit I often find myself recompiling a full file because SBCL is just so goddamn quick it doesn't make a difference, so perhaps I'm missing something essential. But with tree sitter you could totally write a plugin to, say, run the literal content of a python expression in the REPL. It's just shuffling text around after all. The fact that people haven't done this may indicate, and I stress may, that this is not something that people are missing.

I personally can't use anything without vim bindings. I have evil mode in Emacs, vimium while I'm in Firefox, vim bindings in Nyxt, and an aversion to using any program that isn't one of the above. This is not just hipsterism- on 10 occasions while writing this comment I've had to delete a kj or jk as I tried to exit edit mode. That doesn't really mean non-vim bindings are defective, if you catch my drift. No judgement here! But it's a possibility you might consider.
No, it's not even remotely comparable. Neither electricity nor water changes propagation rules in response to stimuli and pre-emptively employs techniques to adapt to changing conditions.

Our digital footprints expanded dramatically in the last 10-20 years. While not a single app, a combination of apps made me feel "better" in a way that Gmail made me feel all these years ago. This February I switched to Kagi, Proton Mail, Bitwarden, Apple Calendar/Reminders/Notes. This combination made me feel like I am once again in control of my digital life and can be more productive without sacrificing attention.

It seems silly to make this part of the prompt rather than a separate parameter, surely we could design the response to be close to factual. Then run a checker to ascertain a score for the factuality of the output?

You can also design prototypes so that they're impossible to operationalize beyond experimental scale.

I forget the name of it (there are probably several by now), but there's a UX prototyping toolkit where all the components look hand-drawn, so that nobody expects to be able to interact with them and then gets mad when nothing happens. It also prevents you-the-designer from being tempted to add interactivity logic at design time.

There's nothing stopping someone from creating a programming language that works the same way — something intentionally constrained to e.g. run on an abstract machine that uses a 24-bit address space (and builds this into the design, using the other 40 bits of each pointer on 64-bit VM implementations for other important info) so that only prototype use-cases can be implemented and tested, while the system would inherently be unable to reach any kind of scale serving multiple concurrent customers.

While I don't think anyone's ever tried creating a runtime like this for general-purpose software prototyping, I know of at least one domain-specific example:

The PICO-8 (https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php) is a game runtime that's kind of like this, designed to put constraints on game development that resemble, but are orthogonal to, the kind of constraints imposed by old consoles like the Gameboy. (For example, it is programmed in high-level Lua, but has an 8192-lexeme source-code size limit, to achieve similar complexity constraints to old games that needed to fit their object code on 16k ROMs, while not forcing you to compile to/write in an assembly language, nor impacting source-code readability.)
Casio also has the best bang for the buck when it comes to classic dial watches. The LCW-M100TSE-1AER features a titanium wristband and casing, sapphire glass, tough solar and wave ceptor (and a shitty light). It costs about 250€ and should do its job for a few decades.

Unfortunately Casios comparable digital display watch, the MRG-B5000D-1DR, costs about ten times as much.
This would actually be an awesome movie plot. Town adopts red lighting, Dracula moves there, a string of grisly murders ensues, corrupt town bureaucrats refuse to get rid of the red LEDs despite mounting evidence, nightvision/flamethrower-equipped mechs needed to roast out the vampires. Well I guess its not peaceful coexistence.

Which of these watches can be used with open source software on my desktop/phone for fitness tracking, and never try to phone home?
Absolutely. GitHub Code Search is by far the most valuable online development tool I have used the past year. It is so much more useful than Copilot or any of the AI LLMs in my experience.

With Code Search, I have:

* Rewritten a CMake build system, which would have been practically impossible without access to real-world examples because of how poorly designed and documented it is;

* Validated machine-generated translations by looking up language strings from projects that used human translators;

* Tracked down bugs in unfamiliar codebases, using symbol-based navigation, without the downtime of fetching a bunch of files and waiting for a language server to process them locally;

* Reviewed how projects were using the APIs of a library I work on to determine whether high-maintenance features were actually used, and whether tricky features were being used correctly or needed redesigning to reduce programmer error

Kudos to the team at GitHub. Genuinely stellar work.

OP here.

i agree. perhaps you're confused on the intent. the only flag being planted is for folks using rasa looking for a reference implementation just like i was a week ago. not sure if you're being intentionally cynical but trying is good thing. why? bc most ppl don't try. you make 0 of the shots you never take. and of course, if you're not intentionally being cynical -- gucci. if you are i encourage you to make your next comment substantial or encouraging :)
> OTel _does_ prevent lock-in on the agent side (making it easier to switch vendors) with open source components and consistent schemas, but OTel doesn't enable you to do anything that you couldn't do before with a specific vendor

This is exactly the reason why we are moving away from NewRelic's SDK to an OpenTelemetry SDK (even though we are still using NewRelic to ingest everything). If (more like when) we decide to switch vendors, it will be much easier to do so.
Nowadays, incel is synonymous with the Andrew Tate “top g”/alpha sex obsession. Backwards? Definitely, but more symbolic of the arrested development/lack of maturity than the lack of sex.

Sleeping with others’ significant others, or actively trying to/bragging about it is a perfect example. Low-class behavior that will get you props from low-class folks.

Agreed, GPT answering based on its own training data has been the best experience by far (aside from hallucinations) and comparing against that is difficult. Embeddings might not even be the long term solution. I think it's still early to really know for certain but models are already getting better at interpreting with less overall training data so there are bound to be some new ideas.

As he said, people outside the tech industry get it faster than techies.

For example, yesterday, I walked on the concrete path across a grass field that was built there last week. Before that, there were ants, earthworms, bugs, small mammals, etc. All gone. The builders didn't hate the wildlife. It was just in the way.

> The first competitor to leave a pricing cartel wins IF buyers are prepared to wait.

You are missing the point.

Even if a company wanted to decrease prices and increase their market share, the upstream supplier can't handle the increase in demand because of consolidation and Always Late(tm) inventory.

So, any supplier can raise their prices as there is nowhere to go. The cheaper competitor simply sells out immediately and everybody else is left with the more expensive suppliers.
Can you list some real world examples where the difference was in the multiple of billions?
Not entirely applicable in this case, but I had a similar situation with Google (they claimed I owe them money, no way to actually pay, let alone challenge it). Eventually it went to a collections agency who do have humans working for them, did reply and cancelled the 'debt' immediately when I provided evidence.

Google, Facebook, etc might not want to talk to their customers. But adjacent companies might.

In the county I live in I think the court fees are $250, plus service (Sheriff charges another $250 if you use them).

Most judges will look at you crazy if your suit is for the same as the filing fees. I've been told I can't file a suit for less than the fees, but my fees are always zero as our county courts don't charge indigents. I often file suits just to vindicate my rights. I once won a case I filed for $1.81.

Too late for some. I will never go back to Windows, won't ever use Bing. Still don't trust any MS product even though I do use VSCode (mostly due to Remote not being available in VSCodium).

There are two keys that can be used for DID updates. One is the signing key that the publishing server may also control, one one is the recovery key. If a content server goes rogue, the recovery key can be used within 72 hours to retroactive undo changes made to the DID (if the server did that).

If the server just maliciously messed with your data repository, you just use the recovery key. If the malicious content server did not try to rotate the recovery key, you can just use it to reset the signing key, regardless of if the content server rotated it. If it did malicious try to rotate the recovery key, as long as you notice within 72 hours, you can fork a new DID history from some state that was current within the last 72 hours that has your old recovery key.

Either way, you use the recovery key to rotate the signing key, to something you control. Now, you can repoint your DID to a new content server, upload your unadulterated post history to it.

Also, the core of the protocol does not strictly require that the content server have your publishing keys. In theory a client can create new posts, sign them and upload them. This will mean that certain API methods that exist that do things like add a new post won't work, which is theoretically fine if you only ever want to post from fully trusted clients that could be given access to your signing key, create a new commit, and upload it.

Also it is not yet clear if all servers will allow such usage. In theory a content server could refuse to host the data repositories for users if it lacks the signing key for the user.

Footnote: These content servers are formally called Personal Data Servers. I used content servers throughout this post to be clear that I am not talking about plc.directory or other such ancillary servers.

When push comes to shove, Ukraine runs out of Ukrainians much sooner than that is true for Russia. This is an unfortunate turn of events, but if you say "we're ruin your military wise and invade you by force", molon labe.

This has absolutely nothing in common with wanting the USSR back. Russians do contempt modern Ukraine and Baltic states, but they are not universally fans of USSR. Some are, but they're being overly romantic.

Eastern Europeans are pathetic people who only saw like 10% of hardships of Communism and came out whining like they saw 500% of those. Now you have a different good lord to whom you sing praise like you did to Soviet communists just 35 years back. Don't consider yourself to be like Russians because we are not the same.

We should recognize that, as you mention, there have always been some limits on our freedoms. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that the pandemic has intensified those measures to a degree we haven't seen before. The issue isn't their existence, but the scale and intensity at which they've been applied.

Device-level and biological surveillance stem from contact tracing and mandatory testing, and the government keeps records from both. In countries with GDPR laws where people must consent to their personal data being retained, the retention periods were often quite long, sometimes spanning decades. In my view, this constitutes surveillance, and the collected data could later be used by governments and courts.

I don't intend to argue that this surveillance has negatively impacted society so far — surely contact tracing and people self-reporting their illness have helped model Covid's spread. Comparing this data to immunization and mandatory testing records was probably useful as well. However, this data has been collected, is now stored, and is accessible to governments, and we didn't have much say in the matter, individually or collectively.

It's important to question the long-term impact these actions will have on our liberties and whether the long-term costs justify the short-term benefits. For instance, many specialists believe that the pandemic would have unfolded more or less the same way, regardless of whether we compromised our privacy and freedoms. Of course, opinions vary, and it's a heated topic right now. But we must monitor it in the long run. Reflecting on the pandemic events currently, my stance is that we have eroded our freedoms more than necessary for effective control of the virus.
I get annoyed by articles like this. Yes, it's cool to educate readers who aren't aware of embeddings/embeddings stores/vectorDB technologies that this is possible.

What these articles don't touch on is what to do once you've got the most relevant documents. Do you use the whole document as context directly? Do you summarize the documents first using the LLM (now the risk of hallucination in this step is added)? What about that trick where you shrink a whole document of context down to the embedding space of a single token (which is how ChatGPT is remembering the previous conversations). Doing that will be useful but still lossey

What about simply asking the LLM to craft its own search prompt to the DB given the user input, rather than returning articles that semantically match the query the closest? This would also make hybird search (keyword or bm25 + embeddings) more viable in the context of combining it with an LLM

Figuring out which of these choices to make, along with an awful lot more choices I'm likely not even thinking about right now, is what will seperate the useful from the useless LLM + Extractive knowledge systems
The US has made some questionable choices, but here I'm talking about not only the US, but Europe, Oceania, Japan, South Korea etc. As a European though I'm eternally grateful that the one country to become the global hegemon was the US. I don't think the world realizes how lucky it is. Might sound like a fanboy but there's plenty about the US I don't like, moved back home because of those things even, but you have to look at the bigger picture here.
Depends on a lot of things, but getting the card reissued with a new number wouldn't.

Closing a card that was younger than your average card shouldn't.

Anyway, being willing to walk away from the credit card account is key to getting the credit card company to help you more, if they aren't helping enough. "i'd like to close my account, because you can't stop the unauthorized charges from X" is a pretty clear message.
The risk profile is different though. An employer is going to see you every day. They’re incentivized at least on some level to have a good faith relationship. They can fire you, but that inconveniences them even if you’re totally fungible.

A gig employer is unlikely to work with you again regardless. They don’t have much of a reason to care about you. And if they rate you poorly, that can potentially shut you out of the market entirely. Or cause you to pay for costly and timely retrainings like the article.

It’s a much harsher employment contract imo.

Or maybe they're shit at writing code, right? It's not either or. It's intentional. N then they whine about piracy n intellectual property, yeah.
