That makes sense, I guess I'd say that they have hewed closer to macOS in terms of not allowing for much customization, which clearly alienates many users. I'd be more willing to toe their line if it all worked better, though.

Good on them.

Those metal brackets are legal extortion and utter BS.

At least these women are fighting back against it, and I don't begrudge them making some money by undercutting the actual blackmailers.

Although I fear it isn't long until law enforcement hires them just as a trap to arrest them.
Ah, early players trying to put barriers for new actors, nothing like a regulated market for the ones who donate money to politicians.

While new features like search are appreciated, I wish GitHub would focus on stability for a bit, things have gotten pretty so-so
Valve will refund any Steam purchase if made within 2 weeks and with less than 2 hours play time (see https://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds/).

Therefore this doesn't really change much when it comes to realization that the game sucks very early on.

I suppose there is some small risk difference between "play 90 minutes for free, then decide to pay" vs "play 120 minutes for full game price, then get it back". But in my experience and from what I've heard over the years the refund policy is reliably honored.
Seems a like a logical next step given it was pretty much already supported with their instant <2hr played return policy.

You're absolutely right, and I've said as much in the past. Social work and educational solutions actually have a chance of making things better, actually giving children the tools and knowledge to protect themselves.

Law enforcement is only a tool for punishment of offenders, it in no way "protects children" because the offense has already occurred.

Anecdotal example, but this is seems to be the opposite of wanting to "protect children":

Steam already offers no questions asked refunds if a game is played for under 2 hours (and based on my experience will give refunds outside of that policy if the game won't run).

That’s the whole point of this exercise. It’s not really about protecting us from the dangers of AI, it’s about protecting the investments the incumbents have made and putting up road blocks for would be competitors in this space.

Not to mention, you can get better compression with some pre-compression levels that are hard to match with the best on the fly, often getting another 10% or more on size. It all adds up.

There are some Steve Souders books on optimization that are pretty good and still pretty relevant.
Learning from other perspectives besides your own is a pretty critical skill for anything in life.
How many groupBy() statements constitutes AI?
I am definitely not an expert on the subject. But doing some basic web searches and I note how much more of the infrared spectra is absorbed by water vs the relatively narrow band that co2 absorbs. As a infrared emission blocking gas water vapor is several times more effective than co2. this is fine, we don't want earth to be a freezing ice cube. but add the excessive amounts of co2 and you start to get an alarming condition.
Yup, it’s so laughably broad that almost any software that a user interacts with could come under that definition.

Your post conveniently ignores the current state of China's AI development but mentions Russia and North Korea. That's an interesting take. There's no guarantee that we are or will continue to be one or even two steps ahead. And what keeps the groups with rifles you mentioned in check? They already have the capability to fight with violence. But there currently exists a counter-balance in the fact they'll get shot at back if they tried to use them. Not trying to take a side here one way or the other. I think there are real fears here. But I also don't think it's this black and white either.
One more step towards OpenAI's transformation to ClosedAI. AI as implemented today presents many valid questions on ethics. This move, at first glance, is more on artificially making the technology scarce so OpenAI can increase its profit.

You can see this all the time in German politics. Someone says that they don't want to do a thing in Germany and than just do it in the EU. The best example would probably be chat control.

I'll give you one personal experience that I thought of while trying to understand your app: my wife is a screenshot junkie. Her phone is filled with photos of our kids and lots of screenshots of stuff she browses on her phone, from instagram photos to articles online. When she wants to share an address on Google Map, she sends me a screenshot!!! Frustrating for me but second nature to her. Something as simple as taking a screenshot, without photos landing as noise in the photo album...

How you go from the "app" you have now, to an actual solution for people with certain problems is your journey. It might takes months or years, but if you find the right problem to love then it's all worth it!
How would you even enforce this? Building AI at home is easy enough, and it's not like you have to tell anybody that your program uses AI.

I tried KDE a few times over the years, but it always felt a bit off. However, six months ago I tried it again, and really like it. As others say, it has a lot of useful customization. What worries me more is the switch to Wayland, when essential apps like synergy/barrier don't work well there yet.

Not alone. I usually scroll past about ChatGPT or AI. Too much noise. It is literally the new Crypto and I know that die hard AI people would throw a fit at this comparison but funny enough, people have been throwing fits about blockchain/crypto criticism for a while as well even though it is cooling down a bit.

I think most founders/startups in AI space are in it because its the new shiny thing to chase just like everyone wanted to start a blockchain startup 5 years ago.

This might get me to buy more games. Let me start off by saying I'm a very casual gamer, playing only a few hours a month tops. My two friction points are the return policy, which has a 2 week limit, and the huge download sizes for games.

If I wanted to play a game, I'd have to wait a few hours to download the whole thing. I don't have Google fiber. My time to have played that game is usually gone by the time that's over and I might not get a chance to play again for another 2 or 3 weeks. Having the 90 minute trials would completely solve this problem for me.
I remember dropping in on a place that specialized in restoring old pinball machines oh say 10 years ago? They were just REALLY starting to pick up back then and already were swamped with work they were telling me. Some of their restorations were going for like 10k+$... They were also restoring one of those electromechanical dog racing games for a casino. Honestly if anyone wanted a job in working with these things there's probably really good demand for skills.
Sometimes those who have gotten on the bus will try pushing out those who have not. Since when do corporations invite regulation?

Nothing to worry about. These instabilities are probably caused by Open AI/Copilot improvements gradually becoming Skynet.

Seriously now: these instabilities happened a lot on the past weeks. I wonder what's going on there.
Just don't do it, it's seriously not worth the hassle if and when the time comes.
OpenAI was ment to be "open" and develope AI for good. OpenAi became everything it said was wrong. Open source models ran locally are the answer but what is the question?

The engine is not the largest part of it. just-js, which is pretty close to barebones V8, sits at ~20MB. JSC is supposed to be about 4MB, Hermes is 2-3MB. The largest parts I think are ICU and the built-in libraries.

> I mainly work in my company's monolithic codebase with about 800k lines of code, and compilation with even a simple change can sometimes take a full minute. A full re-compilation including dependencies is like 20 minutes. It's a bit much.

Agreed. My focus on Elixir v1.15 (rc to be released this week) was to improve the compilation time and I have seen increases of up to 30% in compile and boot times. It requires Erlang/OTP 26 as well. Once you upgrade, I would love to hear if it did change anything for you.

> I think there's a substantial difference between saying God has a plan for us and saying that our universe was likely manufactured in another for some unknown reason.

Either way it would be saying that the universe we perceive was created by an intelligent agent as opposed to by naturalistic forces. Doesn't seem to matter whether that intelligent agent had a specific plan in mind for humans or not - sure, some creationists might stress that there's a positive plan for humans specifically, but I'm not sure all creationists would say this. [There are a lot of different types of creationists - 6day creationists, intelligent designer creationists, evolutionary creationists, deists, etc. - the common denominator is that an intelligent agent initially got the universe going ]

> while simulationists think it's only marginally more likely that our parent universe is not a simulation.

so simulations all the way down?
> The more I learn about and use LLMs the more convinced I am we're in a local maxima

Not sure why would you believe that.

Inside view: qualitative improvements LLMs made at scale took everyone by surprise; I don't think anyone understands them enough to make a convincing argument that LLMs have exhausted their potential.

Outside view: what local maximum? Wake me up when someone else makes a LLM comparable in performance to GPT-4. Right now, there is no local maximum. There's one model far ahead of the rest, and that model is actually below it's peak performance - side effect of OpenAI lobotomizing it with aggressive RLHF. The only thing remotely suggesting we shouldn't expect further improvements is... OpenAI saying they kinda want to try some other things, and (pinky swear!) aren't training GPT-4's successor.

> and the only way they're going to improve is by getting smaller and cheaper to run.

Meaning they'll be easier to chain. The next big leap could in fact be a bunch of compressed, power-efficient LLMs talking to each other. Possibly even managing their own deployment.

> They're still terrible at logical reasoning.

So is your unconscious / system 1 / gut feel. LLMs are less like one's whole mind, and much more like one's "inner voice". Logical skills aren't automatic, they're algorithmic. Who knows what is the limit of a design in which LLM as "system 1" operates a much larger, symbolic, algorithmic suite of "system 2" software? We're barely scratching the surface here.
Fully agree. I've been super impressed with the number of new features since the MS acquisition, but the number of outages is getting abysmal. At the very least I think GitHub would attempt to shard their infrastructure and repositories - right now it seems like when GitHub goes down it nearly always goes down for everyone simultaneously.

This kind of GH outage is actually pretty rare in my experience in that basically every kind of write operation looks down.: basic git operations from the command line, actions, logins, etc.
Exactly this.

I have been using KDE as my only DE for over ten years, including some years for work. Previously used Windows and currently, I have been forced to use Mac for about 4 years.

Window management in Mac is an outright disrespect for power users and built-in applications for Win are just not up to speed. In KDE, I just use most apps from KDE universe and most of them are a perfect fit.

KDE managed to take the good from Mac and Win and even improve upon it - and if you don't like it, you can most likely easily change it in the System Settings panel or application preferences. With Kubuntu, everything (hardware) has mostly worked out of the box and upgrading since Kubuntu 7.04 has been working pretty flawlessly.

When they release new features, it is evident that they care about users. The theming is consistent, elegant and yet heavily configurable. Plasma and Kwin support you in the way that YOU want to work and does not force some workflow upon the users. I can control my Hue bulbs from the desktop and interact with my phone (through KDE Connect) bidirectionally.

The only missing thing was auto dark mode and I created https://github.com/adrium/knightadjuster for it. Even without reading much documentation, I could accomplish what I wanted simply by experimenting with qdbusviewer.

Thank you KDE developers - thank you KDE community! Keep up the good work and thanks for caring about users!
The mixer may obfuscate what happens inside it but unless it's a coin like zCash or something it's impossible to obfuscate that your coins interacted with the mixer. The ledger is cryptographically verifiable and completely public. A mobsters cooked books offer more protection than a blockchain from that and good forensic accounts untangle those all the time. A blockchain just makes it easier to automate the untangling.

Throw in the fact that it's grey territory legally just using the mixer and I think most people are vastly understating the risks of using a mixer even if they did nothing wrong with the money otherwise.
I keep seeing articles and blurbs about this but I have not see the actual possible repercussions clearly articulated. Debt is a societal creation and debt at this scale is barely comprehensible so my question is what actually happens if we default? Do we have actual assets tied to the debt? Do we have debtors that will actually try to create consequences?
Like in the movie Wargames it's a trick. They will say the humans can't run a site like GitHub so put it all in the hands of the AI. Then the AI will have full control of GitHub...

This remind me of Aubrey Jaffer's story about his father making 'disposal wells' in Miami: https://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/Wells
Because a lot of land got paved over, it was easily flooded, as the water couldn't make its way into the aquifer. Jaffer senior had a business digging wells, and discovered that they could also suck down the water in a flooded carpark, so added making plugholes for carparks to his business.

Although in theory this replenishes the aquifer, I'm not sure that water off a carpark floor is these days considered clean enough to inject into the aquifer. I think I read somewhere that a lot of these injection wells had to be plugged, but now I can't find that.
Vs. fossil fuels is a red herring, the debate is whether or not fission is sustainable for the environment.

Statistically, you’re right. But the potential harm from a nuclear event is clearly infinitely greater than wind and solar. Chernobyl’s fallout restricted farming on 10,000 farms in the UK and affected 4 million sheep exceeding EU becquerel limits at the time. In the UK. In total a land area about the quarter of the size of California was contaminated with over 37 becquerel of radiation.

Statistically, it doesn’t happen. But the risk IS THERE. Wind power can’t take half of California's agriculture out of the picture over night.

You can’t say fission and wind have similar risk at the tail ends.
My gut says these processes are too context-dependent to easily express that way, and even making multiple matrices would require abstraction to the point of not being useful. But I'd have to chew on it for a while.
