Maybe 1 a year. And this is only emitted in dangerous quantities when the manure is being stirred prior to being removed from storage. So somewhat tangential to original point.
Yes, that's absolutely correct.

I'm a strong proponent of the right to freedom of speech (and I'm pro-choice), but we have to be clear about the fact that these are derived from axioms, which are by definition maxims derived from subjective leaps of faith and not evidence-based objectivity.

I think that's Rayiner's point; you can't admonish people deriving philosophical views from the theistic beliefs and value systems they practice when the opposing side of those views are essentially derived from secular/atheistic beliefs and value systems. At some point in the chain of derived arguments and justifications, you arrive at an axiom whose only justification is "because I believe this should be so" or "because my in-group believes this should be so" or "because <authority figure> believes this should be so" — it's still a leap of faith.

"Humanism" is just another subjective belief system, and its adherents are no more immune to the forces of tribalism and faith-based reasoning as adherents of older belief systems.

Canada has the exact same system (with the exact same companies) as the US.
How fast ? I gather, for example, that Intel's Fortran is a frontend to LLVM. So the speed of that Fortran can't be much different than anything compiled by LLVM such as rust or C. Correct ?
American corporations are dystopian entities run by shareholder cartels, and the only real fix is the German approach, i.e. give worker organizations the same number of corporate board seats as the shareholder organizations have.

This would enable employees to place limits on practices like invasive monitoring, stock buybacks, etc., and lead to better decision making as well.

That is true. It’s easier to get ESLint and prettier running together than it uses to be, but it is still a bit of a hassle. Prettier needs to be added as an ESLint plugin, and that allows all its rules to be defined in the ESLint config.

Feels like they could stand to merge, like eslint+tslint.

The National Curriculum (applies in England and Wales) for history:

> aims to ensure that all pupils:

> - know and understand the history of these islands as a coherent, chronological narrative, from the earliest times to the present day: how people’s lives have shaped this nation and how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world

> - know and understand significant aspects of the history of the wider world: the nature of ancient civilisations; the expansion and dissolution of empires; characteristic features of past non-European societies; achievements and follies of mankind

You should have covered from the stone age right through to "Britain’s place in the world since 1945". The Romans, military and royal family are part of that.

None of that says you must approve of Roman Britain, the military or the royal family.

>whether a certain behavior is allowed or disallowed and being able to immediately make a judgment and execute upon it leads to a sort of low-trust, vigilante environment

Have you any empirical evidence at all on this? From what I've seen the open carry states in the US are generally higher trust environments (as was the US in past when more people carried). People feel safer when they know somebody can't just assault, rob or rape them without them being able to do anything to defend themselves. Is the Tenderloin a high trust environment?
It's a tragic state of affairs when we cab debate whether a toaster can be a better, more responsible, and more competent, leader than any human being.
Show HN: GPT Integrated a Node.js REPL
Over the weekend I integrated GPT with the Node.js REPL and the results are pretty compelling.

Using this to build simple a proof of concept feels almost magical.

I don't think anyone reasonable believes LLMs are right now skynet, nor that they will be tomorrow.

What I feel has changed, and what drives a lot of the fear and anxiety you see, is a sudden perception of possibility, of accessibility.

A lot of us (read: people) are implicit dualists, even if we say otherwise. It seems to be a sticky bias in the human mind (see: the vanishing problem of AI). Indeed, you can see a whole lot of dualism in this thread!

And even if you don't believe that LLMs themselves are "intelligent" (by whatever metric you define that to be...), you can still experience an exposing and unseating of some of the foundations of that dualism.

LLMs may not be a destination, but their unprecedented capabilities open up the potential for a road to something much more humanlike in ways that perhaps did not feel possible before, or at least not possible any time soon.

They are powerful enough to change the priors of one's internal understanding of what can be done and how quickly. Which is an uncomfortable process for those of us experiencing it.
This is a good point for Da Vinci, one of the most famous artists of all time. But how do things work for the rest of all the millions of not-very-famous artists? A few select pieces are valued by name, and then there’s the vast ocean of work that isn’t.
I’m fairly confident this is untrue. At Microsoft at least, it’s a big deal when there is a privacy issue, even a small localized one on a single product - and creates a small firestorm.

We’ll get engineers working long hours focused on it, consulting closely with our legal and trust teams. One of the first questions we ask legal when we suspect a privacy issue is “Is this a notifiable event?”

It’s not really about getting slapped by regulators - it’s the fact that much of Microsoft’s business is built by earning the trust of large companies and small ones. Many of them are in the EU of course, but we have strict compliance we apply broadly. It’s just not worth damaging our reputation (and hurting our business) for some shortcut somewhere, as trust takes a long time to build and is easily broken.
Today I asked Siri for the weather this week. She said daytime ranges from 31C to 23C, so I then asked "on what day is the temperature 31 celsius?". And, of course, what I got back was "it's currently twenty seven degrees".

The Future of AI Training Demands Optical Interconnects
Whilst true, that doesn't negate my point.
I spent some time last year building out a UI framework for VSTs based on embedded HTML/JS, after being frustrated with the terrible VST3 GUI package from Steinberg. I think it showed promise, but I'm unable to continue to make progress with it:

https://github.com/rdaum/vstwebview

It's not Electron, but it's Electron-like. And it was totally fine, performance wise. Remember this is the UI layer, not the audio rendering layer. On a multicore system, these are two different threads of execution that should not be impacting each other, if you do it right.

It'd be great if somebody were to run with it. I feel I made good initial progress. These days, I have to concentrate on my paying work (in Rust, not C++, and not in the audio domain) instead.

Rant: HTML/JS UIs are not intrinsically slow. V8 is highly tuned. Rendering in Chromium is highly tuned. I worked on a team @ Google (Nest "Home Hub") that got Chromium running with decent performance on very low-spec ARM SoC devices with very acceptable rendering performance. So many hundreds of thousands of developer hours have been spent on improving browser rendering performance that it's preposterous and dangerously dogmatic to insist that some homegrown solution will be intrinsically superior, performance wise and still be robust and feature complete and offer... luxuries... like accessibility or keyboard shortcuts, etc.

Do I personally like writing web UIs? No. Do I want to write my own UI toolkit from scratch? Oh, that'd be neat, sounds fun. Do I trust anybody, including myself, to do that right? No. In particular I don't trust e.g. Steinberg to do this.

> This is in production right now as far as I know and adds very little latency.

Latency in a DAW isn't just at a premium, it's configurable and needs to be reported and compensated for. That means if any audio processing adds latency, all other processing units must compensate with their own internal (or external) delays to avoid the signal going out of phase.
No, it is not. We are not ALL doing this, maybe you are though.
That isn’t the issue. The problem is an ice shell initially forms, then the water inside the shell needs to expand as it freezes but it has no where to expand. This creates internal stress and micro fractures and the resulting ice crackles due to internal stress. Clear ice requires a directional freeze.
The person I replied to presumably does not work for JPM
They're trained on billions of lines of code - most of them are not very good. I'm using Copilot, and the docstring/docs it suggests are so bad it hurts. If left alone, Copilot would happily generate those thousands of lines instead of helping reduce them to hundreds. It's still useful if given enough direction, but you need to be really careful not to overuse it or risk getting mistaken for a junior straight out of a bootcamp during code review :)
Despite some recent issues I've had with the telegram client on a certain rolling release distro, it is still by far the gold standard of cross platform native apps in my mind.

IIRC its all/mostly CPP. Runs natively, can handle all sorts of weird desktop configs easily. Its just very snappy and a pleasure to use even on fairly low-end systems. I've installed it on a 32-bit laptop from 2004 and it was very usable.

People make some statements about it being Russian owned, and at the end of the day I don't talk about anything important on there, if a Russian team wants to make a world-class cross platform native chat app that I can direct friends/family to and know they won't have any issue getting started, I'm happy to support it.

I hate the web-appification of every desktop app with a burning passion.
Can't wait until a clueless marketer tries to replicate this... would be like when said clueless marketers tried to "go viral" all the time when social media was just starting to get big.
You're missing my point. People like Beethoven because it's Beethoven, they're on the whole not interested in new music that sounds a bit like Beethoven. If you're a contemporary musician and composer you're going to have a very hard time making a successful career out of composing and performing new music in the classical and romantic style.
Ah yes, classic regulatory capture.
Given the skill AI has with programming showing up about 10 years sooner than anyone expected, I have seen a lot of cope in tech circles.

No one yet knows how this is going to go, coping might turn into "See! I knew all along!" if progress fizzles out. But right now the threat is very real and we're seeing the full spectrum of "humans under threat" behavior. Very similar to the early pandemic when you could find smart people with any take you wanted.
> Is Apple about to be left behind?

No.

> Do they have a plan?

Most certainly.
I was consulting at a big 4 IB once. My company used Slack for ourselves, but were onboarded the client's chat tools and told to use them for all project communication which we mostly did. One time a coworker sent me an IM saying he'd follow up with me on Slack. The compliance team flagged it and came after me (not sure why me and not the guy who sent the message). They asked if I discussed company business on Slack and I, not wanting to lie and not wanting to stay on an account that was a meat grinder, just said "yes". They never followed up and I worked on that account for like 8 more months.

Interesting that instead of answering my question, you just got defensive.

What is shameful about vore? You really don’t have a good answer do you? Does the mere existence of vore just make you feel yucky? Is that all?

It doesn’t matter. Vore is harmless, by definition, it is a purely fantastical kink, totally harmless and without ethical considerations because it cannot physically be acted upon in real life.

Kink-shaming vore is about as ridiculous as kink-shaming tf porn. it’s not real, it can’t hurt you. “I don’t care what people do in their own homes” dissemble all you like, but if you didn’t care you wouldn’t be whining about it online.

If there’s anyone who should be ashamed here it’s you.

That would not have stopped this attack. I think youre misunderstanding the attack, the seed is pregenerated.

The only thing that would have stopped this attack would be to generate your seed off the device. And then, since the device is counterfeit and there may very well be a way to exfiltrate seeds from it, to use a genuine device, but that's a different attack.

What youre saying though is a good idea, provided the device youre running this on (and therefore entering your seed into) is secure. Since this cannot really be guaranteed it is often advised to never enter your seed into a computer, for good reason.

Apple has positioned itself as big on privacy, turning privacy into a premium product (because no other big tech company has taken that stance or seems willing to), further entrenching Apple as the premium option. In that respect I think users will "care" about privacy.
Reading the comments here, I remember reading this article [1] about JPM traders using iMessage instead of official company comms. The scenario I see happening with WADU in mind is traders/employees know about this tracking and explicitly go outside of the bounds (ie use iMessage) so that WADU doesn't track them.

What do you think about the papers showing mathematical proofs that GNNs (i.e. GATs/transformers) are dynamic programmers and therefore perform algorithmic reasoning?

The fact that these systems can extrapolate well beyond their training data by learning algorithms is quite different than what has come before, and anyone stating that they "simply" predict next token is severely shortsighted. Things don't have to be 'brain-like' to be useful, or to have capabilities of reasoning, but we have evidence that these systems have aligned well with reasoning tasks, perform well at causal reasoning, and we also have mathematical proofs that show how.

So I don't understand your sentiment.
Because it reads as relatively naive and a pretty old horse in the debate of sentience

I'm all for villainizing the figureheads of the current generation of this movement. The politics of this sea-change are fascinating and worthy of discussion.

But out-of-hand dismissal of what has been accomplished smacks more to me of lack of awareness of the history of the study of the brain, cognition, language, and computers, than it does of a sound debate position.
Art really shouldn't be measured on a useful or useless scale. How would we even determine adequate metrics for that? If we look at impact we'd need to consider The Bodyguard Soundtrack as high musical art.

>That sounds dystopian to me already

That's because it is

Think about any dystopian sci-fi. There's always groups that live in the dystopia and groups that don't feel the effects of it. That's the current state of the world. 1% of the population (including basically everyone on this site) live in luxury, while the rest of the 99% of the population toil under increasingly desperate and precarious living standards.

There's no avoiding it anymore, it's unambiguous, the world is a hellscape of our own doing that we could have avoided if not for wanton, rampant anti-social greed.

Think of this quote and it will be clear: "The future is here it's just unevenly distributed"

how does rent control lock people in? only if moving is not possible without raising rent. effective rent control is about preventing excessive rent, not about preventing the raise of rent to existing tenants.

as far as i can tell, the effect of rent control in germany is mostly that similar properties cost a similar rent which does not prevent people from moving, because they are not risking an increase just because of the move.

I used to feel bad about how much of my career was waste. Then one day I met a retired hardware engineer, a old hand who had rubbed shoulders with Shockley, who told me that 80% of the projects he worked on never even made it to production. Four-fifths of his hardware career was waste!

If it's that bad in hardware land I don't feel so bad about this virtual detritus we software people spew. At least it's cheap, eh?

There's already some version of this in "Hey Siri" detection -- if I record myself with a prompt and play it back, my HomePod briefly wakes up at the "Hey Siri" but turns off mid-prompt. I guessed it was some loudspeaker detection using the microphone array, but it could be a mix of both?
I think pretty much any multicore ARM CPU with a post ARMv8 ISA is looking pretty strong for local AI right now. Same goes for x86 chips with AVX2 support.

All of them are pretty weak for local training. But having reasonably powerful inferencing hardware isn't very hard at all, UMA doesn't seem very visionary to me in an era of MMAPed AI models.
But as you say: except for the dead sea.

In my mind, these new seas would have a steady influx of salt water, but only sweet water would evaporate out of them. And since I don't see the mechanism by which salt would get sequestered or removed from these bassins, I'd also guest their salt concentration would rise quite quickly.

Of course, it might still be interesting to have a huge water surface in the area that effectively serves as a rain generator, but it might not be the same thriving ecosystem we imagine when we say "ocean".
Interestingly -- when it comes to toxicology it is not the substance that determines the poison but the dose. Water is still a toxin, we just have evolved ways to handle up to a certain amount of water per day before water poisoning takes hold. Everything is a toxin, we just have it in our bodies to handle some of it.
This is truly phenomenal work! Have you experimented with any traditional additives, such as adding a small amount of citric acid to increase diacetyl production during fermentation?
So disgusting. Imagine being stressed at work because of personal reasons (e.g., you find out a family member is sick, your SO just dumped you, etc.) and your manager comes over to ask you why you're stressed out. Maybe the intentions are good, but to me, this sort of behavior clearly crosses a line. This wasn't inevitable, but blurring the line between work and personal, especially the whole work-as-family bullshit meme, has always made this outcome more possible.
