So no socioeconomic benefits. And likely drawbacks in terms of reduced revenue. So I assume that the next government will dispense with this nonsense.
They will still care, but they have more freedom to take the longer view.
>>It's not that no enforcement happens, a quick search for "phone theft ring busted"

very limited enforcement happens, for every story you pull that shows enforcement, i can pull 10 that shows that even when a person can track their stolen phone to a building with "find my phone" many police dept refuse to do anything. This is a common thing.

I am willing to bet the phone theft ring that was busted was only busted as ancillary to a wider investigation in to terrorism, drugs, sex crime, or some other criminal activity and they were not targeting phone thefts at all

It would also be interesting to know if the charges are dropped, as they often are these days for these low level property crimes.

When you have people leaving their windows down, and trunks open to show there is nothing to steal or people can just brazingly walk in to a store and walk out of handfuls of merchandise because theft is soo rampant and prosecutors refuse to prosecute the crimes there is an enforcement issue.

>>The enforcement scheme needed to substantially reduce phone theft would likely be extremely expensive

I disagree, but please enlighten me as to what you think will be expensive

>>What would you specifically recommend be done on the enforcement side of things, compared to what happens presently?

Actually filling criminal charges for theft instead of just the Catch and release model we have today, so much so that police dept often do not even arrest or investigate the crimes at all because they know activist prosecutors will simply refuse to file charges for any theft under a certain dollar value.

I am not sure why this is even debated given that stores are moving out of several cities due to rampant theft that is going unenforced / unpunished. A quick search will show news report after news report of unlawful property theft being done sometimes even in full view of law enforcement who do nothing because they have been instructed not to in many major cities
I see so much discussion of preventing _local_ escalation, but at this point almost all my services run in VMs/on dedicated hardware. Superuser powers don't buy you anything extra there.

What I really would like more discussed is _network_ isolation. You don't need root to exfiltrate tons of data.
Google's products do seem to be getting progressively shittier, in profound and confusing ways.

take their home assistant, which used to be able to find information online and compose an answer to your natural langauges queries. Now she just says "I don't know, but I found this online..."

Google Search seems to be getting truly terrible. Results completely unrelated to what I'm looking for are placing in the first page of results.

Android seems to get more janky by the day. Lots of UI elements across different apps that mostly work, but sometimes don't. Holding the power button no longer turns off your phone, but instead opens voice assistant(?!) Changing a long-standing and universal power-off gesture to what used to be the screenshot gesture was rage inducing when I had to go and figure out how to power off my phone again.

Content sharing is a disaster on Android too. They keep INSISTING you use their specific 'share' buttons for webpages, none of which are consistent. Sharing a link from Google Now? click the share icon, then copy. Do not use the "Copy link" button, which only sometimes works. Using google image search? Hit the three dots icon, and then "share" text, and then click copy. Don't you dare try and long press on the image. I assume funneling everything through the OS share menu adds telemetry to both what is being shared, and who it is going to.

Removing the fingerprint reader from the back of the pixel devices is a huge flop imo. It was very useful to bring down the setting shade, and was way more reliably than the under-screen reader. And now they have a foldable pixel device. I've never seen anyone use a foldable phone.

It's like nobody at Google actually uses their products. I've been a long-time android user but it's becoming harder to justify as nobody at Google actually seems to give a damn about their products anymore. :-(
Apparently you will since the other guy in this thread has made this a specialization.

This has a lot to do with the performance of your processor.

Running on a single-board computer with an applications processor like a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone, with multiple cores at 1 GHz+, gigabytes of DDR3, with on-chip SDXC drivers? Logging loads are irrelevant. The only thing to watch out for is that if you want to use the logs to figure out why you had a catastrophic crash, the OS may have write-buffered a lot of data in RAM.

If you're running on a crossover MCU, like a Cortex M7, with a core or maybe two at a couple hundred MHz? Think about it what you log.

Running on a Cortex M3 with a few dozen MHz and a few dozen kB of RAM? Yeah, appending to and rolling over a whole 512-byte page in RAM and finding the time to push it over the SPI peripheral is going to be tough, you may want to use a binary protocol so you're not burning unnecessary cycles in itoa() and you get more data per byte of buffer.

The DJI drones discussed here have big Cortex-A53 SOCs that are already logging 4k video at 30 FPS to that SD card; the log file is only noticeable as a distraction from that task. I think the crossovers are the sweet spot, though, because a 'fast' clock or interrupt on that Linux board is slow in comparison to the more tightly integrated RTOSes.
For me, tipping is always emotional blackmail. When you're expected to pay an indeterminate sum above the official price of the service, there's always an implicit pressure to leave more rather than less for fear of looking stingy. Which is why the "unofficial, but official" percentage of tips always goes up. If anything, at a self service it's easier to tip 0, as no one is looking at you while you do it.
There is never a reason to disable the main menu.

As others have pointed out, it means the model contains copyrighted material. So I guess that’s totally illegal. Like if I ripped a Windows ISO, zipped it up and shared it with half the world. You know what would happen to me don’t you ?

I think this is backwards. Flash memory programs (writes zeros) faster than it erases (writes ones), and it erases in blocks. So I would expect an empty USB drive to be filled with ones, not zeros. Otherwise you would have to erase every "empty" block before the first write.

But why do you think "investors/shareholders" are bad and private owners, good? Private owners are just 100% owning shareholders, whatever notions you have about one group you should have about the other.

You have no guarantee a private owner wouldn't speed up the enshittification process.
I’m not saying individuals can’t make changes. I have. But it’s struggling against the current. How about we remove the struggle.
I understand your sentiment but human history has shown us that "being content being filthy rich" is short lived at best. It is a way of keeping score and even people who no longer need to work at all don't just want more money, they want a LOT more money.

Because code is “my stuff” and copilot changes our jobs while so generated art doesn’t affect me and is cool.

There’s no real difference it is just wagon circling once a thing threatens somebody personally.

The tech community has been one of the big proponents of “data wants to be free” and “the entire idea of intellectual property is bs” for a long time and that’s suddenly reversed.
You're right I was thinking of the lightning cable. (Thunderbolt -> Lightning ugh)
I think it's kind of interesting to think that Google has been doing this for a long time but they've been doing it at an uneven pace for different properties.

Search actually seems like it got this treatment first, and in a creeping slow way, and it wasn't even necessarily 100% Google's fault. It seems like it probably got pushed a long at first by SEO types.. and then at some point Google realized it was profitable to actually play along with the whole game.
I've seen reports lately that bot traffic is accounting for nearly half of all internet traffic, which is truly wild.

For heaven's sake is 2023 how are people still living in this Chomsky Khmer-Rouge Genocidal denying state of mind. Why do all of the worst totalitarian ruthless killers have so much lingering support on the Left?

Allende (fyi backed by the Soviets) got 30% of the vote and tried to overthrow the government through constitutional coup (Edit: not really a coup, but a de facto coup by completely ignoring the Judiciary and near super-majority in Congress against him, and by using military and other tactics) and to socialize / take control over vast parts of the economy which completely crashed the system.

And so the result was Pinochet, which is bad, but not nearly as bad as otherwise, but that's what happens as a result.

I don't suggest that what's happening in Chile is the same thing, but it obviously has echoes.
I don’t perceive “be open to vibrant discourse and charitable to your outgroup” to be either an overtly ideological position or flamewar fodder …

… but I’m open to the possibility that I’m viewing my own comments in an overly favorable light, and appreciate your feedback.
I guess my point on that was 'Landsheer van de Nederlanden' should today not be summarily translated as 'Lord of the Netherlands' since 'the Netherlands' has a current meaning, as opposed to in Dutch, where 'de Nederlanden' and 'Nederland' are immediately and obviously referring to political entities at different points in time, and with somewhat overlapping but still significantly different areas.

Then again, I do know that Emperor Charles is referred to as 'Lord of the Netherlands' in English language history books, and I wouldn't easily know how to do it differently, but somehow there it's always more... padded in context?

Likewise (although it may be the same issue underneath...), equating the area of the Dutch Republic with modern-day Netherlands (which I assume he's referring to but didn't want to use that because of confusion with the previous point?) is... rather simplistic. I mean, I guess it's something someone who's never left the Randstand wouldn't think twice about, but that doesn't make it true.

But as I said, it's not like there are any factual errors I could find, and in any other writing I would have easily understood how difficult it is to convey all that nuance in a piece like this where, frankly, that nuance doesn't even matter. It's just that the combination of subtexts made the whole thing feel weird. To me. Maybe it didn't to you.
Chile is actually a pretty well run country with a First World GDP. Yes, their economy is heavily based on natural resources but so is Australia or Canada.

Saudi Arabia on the other hand is fabulously corrupt but they were still able to take over their oil industry (Aramco) without problems and even go upmarket in petrochemicals with SABIC.
> The existance of the State is an infringement on your rights,

Which rights are these and by what authority are they bestowed? Let's assume I'm an athiest for the sake of argument.

You're positing the existence of natural rights without specifying how they came into being and how they are enforced.

Generally "rights" in the normal sense of the word are created by... well... states.

I'm not naive and I'm aware of the history of anarchist thought. But I'm not sure which flavour you're espousing.
That was essentially my thoughts. I have had what OP built and I have had it for about 2 decades now. It is called an RSS reader. OP's problem statement is exactly why RSS readers are so amazing. It also means I can aggregate content from all my sites into one place.

This tech has been around forever but has fallen out of favor, yet still supported by every major site.

Just like how kids now are realizing the fun of film cameras and instant Polaroids as an alternative to digital photography, I keep hoping that a similar renaissance for RSS (or an alternative feed format) comes into vogue again. It really was a superior internet.

The benefit of feed readers is that you are just aggregating original content that is still owned by the original owners. In OP's scenario they are violating copyright law with their site by using ChatGPT to read TechCrunch and regurgitate it onto their own site. This is textbook copyright fraud, and for those shouting "fair use", this wouldn't qualify because it is designed as a replacement to the original. After reading OP's site, I have no need for going to Techcrunch, which makes it no longer fair use. If OP was quoting (with citations) and commentating on techcrunch's article then that would be fair use.
Thats true but a sovereign wealth fund isn't the only way to link success of the country's businesses to the success of the people.

Using tax revenue to fund a social safety net, public works, education, and housing achieves the goal.

The sovereign wealth fund is more about what to do with the money between taxation and social works. If the country has a sovereign wealth fund without all the social spending then I'd say the success of the country's business hasn't been linked to the wellbeing of the people.
Code is the end product. We store code in our repos, not binaries.
If your goal is to simulate a human doing addition with pen and paper it only seems fair to give the GPT read/write access to a text file. Outputting the answer directly from the model is much more akin to mental math.
> I can see cross-platform virtual authenticators like the one you're working on becoming more common, and I don't think it's unlikely that the OSs will offer APIs to back these keys with TPMs/Secure Enclaves, and will allow you to replacethe built-in passkey manager with a third-party, much like they do with password managers today.

It seems like you know more about this space than I do, so maybe you can explain it to me. What incentive do players like Apple and Google have to allow this to happen? Don't all of their incentives point to eventually requiring attestation from trusted hardware devices and increasing lockin?
Am I naive to think that when you make $226 million in a year like Pichai that money should stop being your major driving force and that your reputation is more important? Like what else could he buy? But his reputation is taking severe hits. Maybe I just don't understand ultra rich people though. Maybe money is everything.
This is cool, is there a docs website available?
> I'd argue extremely few humans could do this in their head, which is essentially the bar you are holding GPT too.

The prompt was "Now add 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 and 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1. Limit work on each bit to a single line." So the model could use its own output to show its work. Again, the rules are really simple and a human could do this trivially.

All I'm saying, is that, to me, it looks like ChatGPT isn't capable for understanding logical steps. There are many, many examples online of people creating complicated logical puzzles that ChatGPT "solves." My hypothesis is that ChatGPT isn't actually "solving" these and ChatGPT would fail on any follow up examples that had sufficient entropy. To me, this is a significant difference. You might create a simple model of a problem and be amazed that ChatGPT seems to work, only to find that it fails with more complicated problems encountered in a real-world environment.

That doesn't mean ChatGPT is useless, but it would be limited to automation purposes (operating on known examples) and could never be a general thinking agent.
But couldn't you have also just given her an extra $20 without it being an integrated and ingrained experience?
They recorded only selectively (perhaps a cost savings to be fair) and destroyed the recordings after transcribing the relevant parts. So much respect for privacy compared to what we might expect today!
I liken this to a sesame seed bun manufacturer. After some experimentation, they realize that shaving roughly 10 sesame seeds from each bun means they save one cent every 100 buns. They continue to sell the buns at the normal price and consumers are none the wiser: After all, who's going to notice 10 sesame seeds missing?

But the sesame seed bun manufacturer continues the experiment. They continue to remove the seeds, making small savings each time, until eventually: they just start selling buns with no sesame seeds. The bun sells for the same price as the seeded one. But the core value prop has been lost due to greed. Exactly what's happening here at Google.

I feel like the quickest I've ever moved and most innovative stuff I've ever done comes from doing it the "hacky" way. At our latest setup we're just relying on Framer (framer.com) to build all of our UI components using a free drawing canvas.

Then for more customization we have a setup where devs can just spin up a CodeSandbox link in the browser that imports the Framer component to add more interactivity (like custom hooks etc). Everything is deployed via CodeSandbox.

Devs/Designers/Anybody else just use CodeSandbox links, no editors. People responsible for content use these links to edit .json files inside CodeSandbox repository to quickly add/edit things. New images can be uploaded via drag & drop in and when saving the file it becomes part of the git repo. No CMS needed.

We have a bunch of lock-ins with this setup (like if Framer/CodeSandbox goes down we're f**ed) but I feel like going with anything else there will always be lock-in (AWS, Vercel, some open-source project which is now dead and nobody can maintain anymore).

It's amazingly fast to work this way & we love it.

There is no local law in Vietnam that says "you must allow the state's army of troll bots to harass anyone in the world that speaks Vietnamese".

Facebook isn't complying with any local law here, and the behaviour in question isn't isolated to users in Vietnam. They are turning a blind eye to avoid retaliation for applying the same rules they'd apply elsewhere.

There is nothing more passive aggressive than the phrasing “if you could answer the question on the screen…”. You don’t even have the gall to ask for a tip directly, but you still expect one. If they will be bold enough to look me in the face and ask for a tip, I will give them one, But otherwise no.

> which is equally user-friendly, but which cannot be phished.

This is good to bring up. Without vendor lock-in and attestation, passkeys have huge benefits for blocking phishing attacks. It's not "stick with passwords" or "deal with lock-in", it's possible to get rid of the current problems and still end up with a system that's way more secure than traditional passwords.
Maybe the new CEO can personally redesign the logo with help from an intern. That should fix things, right?
Classic Google behavior, and of course there's no human on the other side to talk to... This problem seems to pop up time and time again.
The bomb itself doesn’t have to touch the meteor but you do want it as close as possible so the radiative energy from the explosion doesn’t fall off too much. If there’s enough time you would want to build a bomb that acts like a shaped charge and release most of that energy in one direction and you would probably add a heavy element to it that could be energized and pushed in the direction of the asteroid.

When Michel Ney was tried for treason (after supporting Napoleon's and subsequent second abdication), his lawyer wanted to argue that since he was born on Prussian soil, his hometown recently being annexed by Prussia, he as a Prussian could not be tried for French treason. Ney himself rejected this, saying that he was French and would always be French. He was sentenced to death.
"Method A cohort was selected from German routine health care data covering 38.9 million individuals. Based on documented diagnoses, we identified individuals with polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed COVID-19 through December 31, 2020. Patients were matched 1:3 to control patients without COVID-19. Both groups were followed up until June 30, 2021. We used the four quarters preceding the index date until the end of follow-up to analyze the onset of autoimmune diseases during the post-acute period. Incidence rates (IR) per 1000 person-years were calculated for each outcome and patient group. Poisson models were deployed to estimate the incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of developing an autoimmune disease conditional on a preceding diagnosis of COVID-19."
