Even more so for us Europeans where both the diagonal and the inches are not relatable. Double confusing.

Many people don't even know it's a diagonal, they just associate the number with having seen the object in real life. You could call it a TV with a size of "16 leafs" or "354 planks". Neither the value or the unit has any meaning.
I definitely agree. As someone who is very tinker-minded, I've had various "workbench" setups on my desk. These range from watch repair, to gunsmithing, to electronics repair, to woodworking.

I'd LOVE if all of those hobbies had a concise, illustrated guide to not only the tools I should get, but *how to organize them*. Organizing is a strength of mine on a computer, where every file fits in every folder and there's no limits of size or shape. But tell me to organize my office, and I'll end up with a perfect system that goes entirely out of whack as soon as one item is added or removed.

Problem again, is centralization of LLMs by either the governments (and they always act in your best interest, amirite?) and corporation, which Non-FOSS LLMs prevent.

Democratization of the models is the only way to actually prevent bad actors from doing bad things.

"But they'll then have access to it too" you say. Yes, they will, but given how many more people who will also have access to open LLMs we'd have tools to prevent actually malicious acts.

Also, in a couple of cases the desensationalising has removed (useful) information. E.g. in https://www.boringreport.org/app/all/645d396cf7c90670355a6c7... the headline is "Supreme Court Decisions in Two Cases" missing any of the stuff about corruption in the original headline "Supreme Court sides with ex-Cuomo aide and Buffalo developer in disputes over corruption convictions".

This seems disingenuous, afaik the contributions of GoF work (that enhances transmissibility, pathogenicity or immune escape of a virus) to widely deployed vaccines is minimal or zero.

EDIT: if downvoter(s) could provide specific examples of how GoF experiments have materially contributed to the development of ANY deployed vaccine I would be grateful (and update my position). For "the vaccines stop if GoF stops" to be true, it should be possible to name at least one vaccine which critically relied on GoF research, right?

This type of thing is relatively common in psychedelic trips, I believe.

Creating a series of connections very quickly is cheaper in MySQL and MariaDB than in PostgreSQL. Typically, a connection poller is used before PostgreSQL to support connection scalability.

I'm not sure if there has been a recent breakthrough that has changed that. I think that still applies today. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Surveys of people "considering" or "planning" to do things are notoriously inaccurate. You have to look at the number of people who actually did do the thing in question.

Your source shows ~375k to 2m non-business bankruptcies filed per year over the last twenty years, not all of which is primarily due to medical costs (but there appears to not be a definitive source of data on this), out of a population that went from 282m to 331m over the same time. So 0.1-0.7% of the population files for a personal bankruptcy every year for any reason, which is a far cry from one quarter of the country being on a brink of a medical bankruptcy.

Everyone knows healthcare costs are problematic in this country; no need to resort to hyperbole. Let's stick to the facts.

The problem isn’t as much the pay - I’d pay increases then so will rent (or housing costs)

The problem in the U.K and especially london is that demand for housing outstrips supply.

I think that content moderation is in fact quite difficult, even given clear rules to follow, because so much content requires lots of context to understand.

But that makes me even more annoyed at this game which rather than presenting me with legitimately difficult judgment calls, just gave me clear rules that were not the rules that the actual game used when determining whether I did the right thing.

It's possible that this is a cleverly designed thing to make you realize that the real rules are unwritten and the whole thing is a Kafkaesque contraption with no correct answers. Or it's just a quickly-made game where no one proofread the actual instructions they were giving players.

And I couldn't care less. Here, you're just posturing for karma like everyone else.

>Anger doesn't prevent people from taking action or coordinating, that's the purpose of pushing people into basically wage slavery. Bad political actors WANT you to stop having a reaction to the things they do. They WANT you to feel hopeless and helpless. A politically apathetic population is the goal.

The opposite of anger isn't apathy, or feeling hopeless or helpless. Those are more often than not the results of anger. The opposite of anger is reason. Coordination and action only happen once you move past the narratives of anger. You can't do anything about most of what you see on the news, so there's no point in getting angry about it.

Yes, anger doesn't prevent people from taking action, but being angry from the news isn't necessary for that, only caring enough about the issue enough to take action. More often than not anger leads to apathy, hopelessness and helplessness.

>Look at Russia right now. Nobody to rise up and stop literal genocide.

People are losing their lives fighting Russia every day. What the fuck are you talking about?

>A problem is people thinking that lots of anger inducing headlines is not an accurate reflection of reality, but some sort of "bias" or "misleading".

It isn't an accurate reflection of reality. It's not entirely inaccurate but it is always biased and misleading. And the narratives on social media even more so.

But hey, you go ahead and get as angry as you like. I'm sure you'll let us all know when it leads you anywhere.

OSS AI will open up more diverse and useful services than the first-party offerings from relatively risk averse major vendors, which customers *will" care about.

Music and porn are always at the forefront of consumer technology. But few of us want elevator music on tap, we basically already have that. Music is art, and we can churnout meaningless images all day and it will not change the feeling you get looking at, or listening to, a great work. For actual artists, there is a search for new timbres and textures that are unique and satisfying.
I urge people to ditch leaded solder in favor of lead-free.

Most difficulties people have in using lead-free comes from one of three things:

1. a poor soldering iron

2. bad quality solder (the cheap stuff with bad flux is bad, duh)

3. poor technique (among other things, wipe your tip just before using, not before putting it away)

I like the Chipquik SAC305 with no-clean flux and other people I've recommended it to find it no harder to work with than Sn63Pb37.

They very well could do this for a company that requires really strict privacy and security, but unfortunately in its current state Firefox doesn't have nearly the corporate sysadmin-friendly tooling that Chrome and especially Edge do.

When I was tasked with implementing CIS browser hardening policies at a previous job a few years ago, this was just a matter of enabling some Group Policy template settings for Chrome and Edge, but for Firefox this involved distributing a prefs.js file to all the workstations. In any corporate environment it's very likely going to be point and click Windows admins that are implementing browser standards, who tend to be allergic to anything resembling code and are already used to using GPOs for just about everything.

Yes, Firefox does have GPO templates but it's not nearly as rich as Chrome and Edge. Edge has even more GPO templates than does Chrome iirc, Chrome already had a lot to begin with and then Microsoft added even more of their own on top of that.

https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/v4.11/READM...

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/configure-micro...

That alone already puts Firefox at a huge disadvantage for corporate deployment, the other thing that makes it even less attractive, even to companies where privacy/security is a huge requirement (like my previous job) is that Edge is already bundled with the OS, and is one less thing that needs to be manually patched. In high security corporate environments, just keeping things patched is always a huge task so it's very hard to convince someone that they need to put in more work to keep an extra piece of software patched (which is already very difficult considering how frequently browsers are updated). To make things even worse, just about all vendors will only support Chromium-based browsers for whatever SaaS they sell you, so Firefox is a nonstarter for getting support, even if it will work just fine 99.9% of the time.

For all these reasons, I lost the battle to keep Firefox around, which is a huge shame because of how much I love it and wanted to fight the Chromium monoculture. So I guess for a corporation to support Firefox despite how much more corporate-friendly the alternatives are, they'd have to reaaaally want to.
A black-box LLM which is probably inherently biased from its training data ascribing racist labels to individual humans and ranking them sounds like a horrendous idea you’d read about in an Orwell novel.

in light of the recent ed sheeran/marvin gaye sampling issues that recently wrapped up: imagine the boon for creators to have AI create a marvin gaye track, then chopping up/sampling the good bits of that AI track, and rearranging into a soulful rap track.

it wouldnt have to be a 10/10 AI execution. just good enough in spots to cut and paste.

rap producers would save $$$. plus, near-infinite sampling real estate opened up. the gaye estate loses their future income stream, and i would assume open up new fields of legal prosecution concerning 'likeness'.

id be more interested in what AI can do to old 70's standards like the O'Jays, Al Green....James Brown.....all of it.

I had similar intentions - I was deep into OS development back then, so I wanted to have a 32-bit C/C++ compiler that would effortlessly target 80386+ CPUs.

Borland C++ was my favorite one because it supported official x86 assembly syntax (Intel). In contrast, GNU tools of the day had their own kinky x86 syntax which made me uneasy. It so happened that the Borland compiler that was able to target a 32-bit CPU, required a 32-bit CPU itself to run. DOS only provided 16-bit environment. That's why I went to those lengths of writing a custom 32-bit PE loader that would allow me to run some 32-bit Windows applications right under the DOS.

DOS was a preferable environment because it was fast and allowed booting your own OS kernels without doing a full computer reboot - you just ran an executable loader and it took control away from the DOS and gave it to your OS. And then when you "exited" your OS, instead of rebooting, it was returning back to the DOS provided that the OS kernel you were running was careful enough to preserve/restore the RAM content upon exit.

It gave a huge productivity boost back then. Later, however, I switched to Windows and was using Bochs (open-source x86 PC emulator) to effortlessly run the OS I was working on.
