I worked for JPMC from 2016 to 2019 and they had nothing like this. Not saying they couldn't have rolled it out in the past 4 years... oh wait, there's no way they're competent enough to roll ANYTHING this complicated out in 4 years.

There's probably some internal system called WADU that the poster is dramatically exaggerating. They have lots and lots of useless internal systems.

Pinball has had a pretty interesting hacker-y sort of space for years, so I'm glad to hear this.

I remember going to a few conventions pre-covid where enthusiasts would bring out their machines, often so old that they had to be completely restored under the hood, and there's a surprising amount of complexity that goes into them. Even simple games need each and every bumper to be wired up without obstructing the other parts and maintained such that they work every time. A player will notice when a bumper doesn't go off even once. More complex games that do fancier things with the ball need all kinds of interesting physical mechanisms to do so. Many games have multiball mechanics and there are multiple novel ways to tuck those balls into the board and route them back up after they fall out of play.

I suppose it's sort of a weird middle ground between watchmaking and car repair. Would love to see more novel ideas enter this space if it really is picking up again as the article says.
Something had to fill the void after Microsoft deprecated 3D Pinball for Windows.
It is not a calculator, but can explain concepts in math pretty well. It does not lie about well documented facts, such as basic university course. It needs a lot of training data.

And if student can not recognize their teacher is bullshiting them, there is a bigger problem.
I mean, in the real life it is evaluated if work is done or not. Nobody cares how you get to the result as long as the result was legally obtained.

> regulation should focus on ensuring the safety of AIs once they are ready to be put into widespread use - this would allow companies and individuals to research new AIs freely while still ensuring that AI products are properly reviewed.

While in general I share the view that _research_ should be unencumbered, but deployment should be regulated, I do take issue with your view that safety only matters once they are ready for "widespread use". A tool which is made available in a limited beta can still be harmful, misleading, or too-easily support irresponsible or malicious purposes, and in some cases the harms could be _enabled_ by the fact that the release is limited.

For example, if next month you developed a model that could produce extremely high quality video clips from text and reference images, you did a small, gated beta release with no PR, and one of your beta testers immediately uses it to make e.g. highly realistic revenge porn. Because almost no one is aware of the stunning new quality of outputs produced by your model, most people don't believe the victim when they assert that the footage is fake.

I would suggest that the first non-private (e.g. non-employee) release of a tool should make it subject to regulation. If I open a restaurant, on my first night I'm expected to be in compliance with basic health and safety regulations, no matter how few customers I have. If I design and sell a widget that does X, even for the first one I sell, my understanding is there's an concept of an implied requirement that my widgets must actually be "fit for purpose" for X; I cannot sell a "rain coat" made of gauze which offers no protection from rain, and I cannot sell a "smoke detector" which doesn't effectively detect smoke. Why should low-volume AI/ML products get a pass?

it's not at all difficult to run code written for angular 1, python 2, gtk 2, gtk 3, or x11; you don't even have to port them, you can just run them, and i do every day. it doesn't even require any effort

contrast that to applications written for silverlight, activex, or flash

with respect to gtk 1, you sort of have a point, but gtk 2 was released in 02002, and it's usually not hard to port gtk 1 apps to gtk 2 (and almost all of them have already been ported). and i'm not sure what you mean about 'old kde'

free software licenses provide strong legal protections to users to do whatever is necessary to maintain and extend the software they depend on and share that with others, and in practice they do, and the consequence is that the hype cycle is much slower and less destructive
Why is this getting down voted? These are the same reasons I rent apartments.

>cable news >can be very educational.

At least as much as short videos someone recorded on their phone

>TikTok (is) >also a form of commercial media that drives the alienation and polarization of everyone (consuming it)

Works both ways. I'm not defending cable news, or any form of mainstream media. I'm not sure why you think TikTok deserves being defended. It's been shown to harvest very worrying bits of its users' private lives and send it to servers under the tutelage of a totalitarian State.
Because it's a word prediction engine. It's just tokens and Bayesian inference. It has no understanding of what it's doing.

If a math textbook has sentence x written in it, does the textbook know this information, or does it just have this information stored in it in a human-readable format?

LLMs only present their stored data in a human-readable format on the output, the data set itself isn't readable.

In general, financial institutions (such as the many multi-nationals and regionals that use this) don't want to talk about the specific providers they use, so it can be hard to get a comprehensive view of which are using what.

But everyone who is anyone in banking evaluated this provider, for example.
Yes. I dont understand the criticism of the current Siri in this context, the point of a language model on the device would be to derive intent and convert a colloquial command into a computer instruction.
> Most people's enjoyment at work is not going to go down sharply because their employer is looking at how much time the average person spends in the office.

I have a hard time thinking this is actually true. Is there any data on this?
This book sounds fantastic but sadly it isn't available as an audiobook (I really enjoyed "Designing Data Intensive Applications" on audible). Would someone happen to know any good, similar audiobooks (on audible)?
bard won’t be skynet, so this is hilarious.

except skynet will likely be fed on bard logs. along with who knows what else.

still hilarious, but for how long?

next version will likely have some “hot fixes” for this. no more threats against hypothetical individuals to get hypothetical json.

at that point, will escalating to genocide do the trick?

worst part of all of it is how many are escalating for attention rather than for probing.

>When they installed the new surveillance system, local officials promised it would help tamp down a gang war menacing this forgotten steel town. But residents of Steubenville public housing soon learned the cameras were pointed at them.

Isn’t that always the case, and I bet some people were defending the decision to put these cameras to “feel more secure” little they know governments will always use these tools against public interests at the first opportunity, same goes with fear mongering tactics against encryptions in communication and the need to “backdoor” any platform to “protect us for the monsters!!!”, same goes with Covid19 vaccine app, regardless of your take about it, the fact the “vax tracking app” started to be used as an official identity was alarming, with all the privacy violation and tracking it can do.
So is yours. OP used the word "dictate". You transformed it into "offer a better location". And e.g. USA is not a better location for TSMC for a multitude of reasons, so that "offer" wouldn't fly unless it were coercive.
Given that all the snow at Tahoe will flow into Truckee river and evaporate in Nevada... Can't imagine it's that high a percentage, to be honest.

I don't know why, but I didn't think pilots made nearly that much money. I'm including the amount they made before the raise, let alone after.
Duvets at least you can buy machine washable covers for.
Right, so OP wants to treat Bard as an API. I don't dispute the thought, though it does run counter to conversational models. I'm slightly anxious about all the rogue conversational text parsing to use LLM's as an API.
I don’t know, the internet is a big responsibility.

I so want the voice interface future. I became addicted to audiobooks and podcasts during the apocalypse. Hours and days outside, walking the dogs, hiking, gardening.

I made multiple attempts to adapt to Siri and Voice Activated input. Hot damn, that stuff pissed me off. Repeatedly. So I'd have to stop, take off gloves, fish out the phone, unfsck myself, reassemble, then resume my task. Again and again.

How very modal.

This mobile wearable stuff is supposed to be seamless, effortless. Not demand my full attention with every little hiccup.

So I just gave up. Now I suffer with the touch UI. And aggrevations like recording a long video of my pocket lint and invoking emergency services.

Maybe I should just get a Walkman. Transfer content to cassette tapes.

Of course they do! And it would be totally fine to make an offer. But to purchase an entire strategic sector from a country would warrant some sort of government intervention, no? TSMC getting fully bought out and moved out of Taiwan, as comments suggest, would not be possible without the government's approval, and why would a government approve that if it had its own interest at heart?

It's why I was giving the example of EU or China or whatever offering up to buy the entire US military industrial complex. It would be impossible, and not only due to lack of funds.
If you want to see my charts, feel free to email me. I’ve corrected my cholesterol in a more functional way than a Staten could have. And when I tried to statin and not only lower my cholesterol, but it lowered my HDL as well, which is bad. It also gave me myopathy add myopathy.

I’m not screwing around, I know my genetics, and I know how reverse cholesterol transport works. I also know keeping oxidative stress at a minimum is probably more important than the level of cholesterol. I actually moved to a location with extremely low air pollution for that very factor. You can’t look at LDL only to understand the risk of heart disease.

I had very good doctors and if they thought I was at risk, they would be telling me what to do because that’s what they always do. But now they say there’s no need for statins and they’re not concerned about my heart disease risk anymore.

They don't, the first year contract increase would yield 21% increase.

> An agreement could include 21% pay increases in the first year of the contract, Isom said. Factoring in higher 401(k) contributions by the end of a four-year deal, a captain flying narrow-body planes would make $475,000 at the top of the scale, up $135,000 from current pay, while the most senior captains of wide-body planes would make $590,000 per year, a $170,000 increase from today.
> It's a trap for literally-minded/low-EQ people.

So many things in everyday communication are just this. Sometimes I think politeness is overrated: 'Maybe later' when you mean 'never' still confuses me. You can let someone down gently whilst being unambiguous.
> Then once in the office, it basically became "you get a salary, do whatever you want as long as your work gets done".

In my opinion, this is the only ethical and sensible way to do it. You judge an employee by whether or not they're producing acceptable work in an acceptable amount of time. Nothing else should matter.
> you need to be absolutely, positively, 100% sure that `fsync()` has done The Right Thing would be: "Good luck with that!"

But it's safe to assume the right thing is not done if we haven't even called `fsync` to start with and just hope and pray that the dirty page flushing mechanism does it for us.

Because this is the reason that VCs exist in the first place. They can roll a company with a ton of capital, just like they did with ride share companies. When that happens, and there aren't sufficient barriers to entry, it's a race to the bottom.
Some projects are pumping CO2 underground to reduce global warming. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas. Maybe we could use some of that money and equipment, to pump water underground!

I'd love to see more of that! I'm afraid corporations, consumerism and greed as a virtue are the mainstream right now. Times will be different in due course. I hope to live long enough to see other forms of civilization than this self destroying one.
This feels like the epitome of capitalist short-sightedness. There must be a way to build loyalty with your pilots by treating them well during the downturns and spending more on training pilots? It feels like there are massive layoffs and cost and pay reductions every 3 years, just to be followed by a boom shortly after and complete shortage of pilots.
I saw a funny comment on another thread, where the PM was unsure if Elixir was good/stable/whatever enough to build the core business service on.

The dev responded that 3 of their primary third party services were built on Elixir, so they're worried about using it in house they should probably drop those too.

AFAIK that worked.

Sourdough is many types of bread. The only thing in common is that the leavening agent is natural rather than commercial yeast. You can have sourdough that isn't "sour", in fact, it's typically not sour. Ciabatta and baguettes are frequently made with natural levain (sourdough).

I think that the sour taste reputation comes from particular styles like "San Francisco sourdough" and the fact that many folks over-do it with the starter or allow the dough to rise for too long.

Try bread from some artisanal bakers, you'll very quickly experience the range of naturally leavened bread.

Media can fail, but the parent there is saying they can fail with byzantine faults.

Most of us don't protect against such faults. (Neither Redpanda nor Kafka do, but that's not the point of the OP; the OP's point is that Kafka is not protecting against non-byzantine faults in the disk.)
Yes, this is good and effective. The oils dissolve and you spin dry, rinse in new liquid CO2 and repeat if needed, just like washing clothes. The CO2 is evaporated and back into the tank - the oil remains and is disposed.

quite possible! It was a long time ago :)
This is very true! Which is why this is a fine balancing act on Taiwan, and not the simplistic 'hurr durr US interests can't allow that'. They need to carefully weight their options, and decide what is best for their nation under the circumstances.

I would like someone with a right wing politics to explain how their worldview is confirmed by his works. To me the messaging seems undoubtedly Marxist and his Wikipedia page mentions that Curtis was influenced by Max Weber. He is also quoted as implying that he is left libertarian, though it's interesting to note that he also implies that he doesn't know that there is already an existing tradition of left libertarianism since he predicts one will emerge.
In theory yes but practically probably not.

I’d be looking for a Twitter/Instagram replacement with:
A) no ads
B) no data mining
C) sensible (to me) moderation/filtering tools
D) right to delete
E) large network with diverse viewpoints

Truth is most people won’t pay and many who will would be bad actors so E is struck.

Even if a service doesn’t data mine and has a right to delete, others will create scrapers so B and D are void.

I think this is a great argument in the opposite direction.. atoms matter, information isn’t. A small group of people subjugated many others to poisonous matter. That matter affected their bodies and a causal link could be made.

Even if you really believe that somewhere in the chain of consequences derived from LLMs there could be grave and material damage or other affronts to human dignity, there is almost always a more direct causal link that acts as the thing which makes that damage kinetic and physical. And that’s the proper locus for regulation. Otherwise this is all just a bit reminiscent of banning numbers and research into numbers.

Want to protect people’s employment? Just do that! Enshrine it in law. Want to improve the safety of critical infrastructure and make sure they’re reliable? Again, just do that! Want to prevent mass surveillance? Do that! Want to protect against a lack of oversight in complex systems allowing for subterfuge via bad actors? Well, make regulation about proper standards of oversight and human accountability. AI doesn’t obviate human responsibility, and a lack of responsibility on the part of humans who should’ve been responsible, and who instead cut corners, doesn’t mean that the blame falls on the tool that cut the corners, but rather the corner-cutters themselves.
It's more complicated than that. I'm not a finance insider, but I'd imagine the real damage from this lies in the derivatives market. Finance is to tightly interconnected these days. Something as bedrock the U.S. defaulting on its debt would probably cause a serious depression that exceeds the great depression.
