If only there was proper UI for these things. These days, even simple things like copy paste are being made harder and harder to discover, rather than have 1 standard way of doing it that works anywhere.

If people are able to figure out how to use youtube videos to achieve what they want, they for sure would be able to do things if only the options were actually there in UI's, but options are being left out more and more to make things "slick".

Regarding audio/video/brightness: this used to be super easy with analog volume dials, and screens with on/off button where your computer wouldn't (and shouldn't imho!) know that your monitor is off. I also really wish monitors with analog brightness adjust would make a return, these types of monitors don't exist for 20 years now, but I rarely adjust brightness on monitors due to the lack of that since brightness is usually deeply hidden in the menu now (somehow monitors with extremely bad quality built-in speakers that you'd never want to actually use, have easier shortcuts for audio volume than brightness)

This is a megalomaniacal rant delivered by a character responsible for the murder of one of the soldiers under his command. The "walls" are meant to protect society from the Jesseps of the world, not glorify them and put them in positions of power.
Vs. you’ve saying that replacing the FBI with the GCJ, then replacing that with the HDK, … IEL … JFM … would actually improve things? Sounds like you basically regard it as a PR problem.

If you were to take a look at the list of signatories on safe.ai, that's basically everyone who is everyone that works on building AI, what could Emily B Bender a professor of computer linguistics possibly add to the conversation and how would she be able to talk more about the "real AI safety" than any of those people?

Edit: Sorry if it sounds arrogant, I don't mean Emily wouldn't have anything to add, but not sure how the parent can just write off basically that whole list and claim someone who isn't a leader in the field would be the "real voice"?
Apart from

1) measuring activity that doesn't contribute much to society in any meaningful way (war), and from

2) failing to measure activity that actually contributes to society (like the grey economy),

3) GDP also fails to measure old activity that is still contributing. In a company's accounting that would be the assets, incl. the IPR and goodwill. In a country, it's the roads that our forefathers built, the education that our parents still have, the peace that was brokered with neighboring states 500 years etc. I wish there was a better tool for measuring that. Even if the GDP of China has surpassed that of the EU for a few years, it will be many years for China to catch up with the GDP (and other contributions) added to the European economy in the past hundreds of years.

Now that I think it's right of them to do, but all consumer Nvidia products are overpriced to hell and have been for a long time, now.

The reason is because they can get away with it, because there's so much demand for their product. Were Nvidia to see AMD release a 4090 equivalent at half the price they need only reduce their own ridiculous prices and take less of a profit margin.
I disagree. The proposition of source being delivered with any software is indeed unrealistic, but not a bad starting point.

For software that is funded publically these requirements could be realistic for example. Consumers won't demand it of course, but especially when software goes out of maintenance, it would be a huge help to get the source. Unrealistic with copyright protections, but I see the new gang of questionable FSF advocates far more critically.

I didn't downvote you, but I believe your are just wrong here.

Crossing clock domains is a very interesting topic. For these ultra high speed connections, does it simply boil down to a really big fifo? One could easily imagine a tree of fifos that are interleaved by some scheme.
Lighntning, also known as not-Bitcoin. Lightning does away with Bitcoin's guarantees, unless you close the channel after each transaction, at which point it costs more than sending BTC directly.

And something like CashApp is even worse - it only uses BTC as a way to circumvent banking regulations, and for name recognition. Otherwise, it could just as easily work on top of regular banking, or do away with BTC entirely and simply work with their own centralized ledger.
In Euros maybe, it's 6k/month with 13th month, it's at higher edge but definitely not top 5%, the 50k would be below senior no matter how you look at 'senior'. In Dollars less than reasonable, especially since you do not want to be payed in foreign money if working remote. It also depends a lot on what kind of experience/education you prefer. If you want highly educated seniors with 'senior' level of experience (as in multiple years to a decade) the higher end matters a lot, NL is famous for underpaying engineers and overpaying managers and the better engineers have noticed.

Though without knowing all secondary stuff it's a wild guess anyway. What you describe in NL usually also benefits pay for pension (usually not included in gross salary specification), some form of mobility or at-home budget, and all other perks considered in-kind pay, maybe a lease-car at a larger company. Maybe that's included here, maybe it's not and that can make up several dozens of percents of pay.

Though "senior" means so little it's hard to judge what is meant by that though it looks like OP is specifying task-specific roles which lower the need for a jack-of-all trades, highly educated, years of experience a bit.
Actually, text editors are pretty good these days.

But on a(n only slightly) more serious note, maybe the data is generated outside of the web server. Different projects have different needs, but there are plenty of them that just need to serve some mostly static data.
Yep. I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but seeing "AI experts" try to reason about superintelligence makes me feel really good about myself.

These sort of reports can be very misleading because they are often based surveying local companies competing for employees with other local companies. The salaries are very different when working for example for a local bank, vs. for an international tech company or well-funded international startup.

I see. Thanks for the reply. But I wonder if that’s not a bit too optimistic and not concrete enough. Alignment won’t solve the world’s woes, just like “enlightenment” (a word which sounds a lot like alignment and which is similarly undefinable) does not magically rectify the realities of the world. Why should bad actors care about alignment?

Another example is climate change. We have a lot of good ideas which, combined, would stop us from killing millions of people across the world. We have the research - is more “research” really the key?
I agree on both counts, but even the bad guy can make a good point.
I think you are arguing in bad faith. The UN is an intergovernmental org, which by definition can't be operated outside of government control (it consists out of member states' governments!). And neither Das Erste is an NGO. Das Erste is legitimized through public mandate by the people in Germany.

> So, what do those NGOs have to say about Russia?

Nothing good, but you could click through the links if you were genuinely interested.

Thank you for saying this. For better or worse, US is too big of a country for state enforcement only. That said, FBI should not be an intelligence agency turned against its own populace.

I saw more calls for disbanding recently along news items discrediting it ( for a good reason, but let me finish this sentence ) and in next breath proposing federal police replacing state enforcement.

I personally do not think it is a good idea. I like the idea of oversight ( and one that does not hide behind 'national security' ).

Wow, what a fun and knowledge-filled article. It felt like reading Feynman.

Just casually browsing HN, this solves a problem that's been bugging me for months in my game: The world is scaled in feet/inches, while WebXR uses meters/cm to set ICD (virtual camera distance)! I think- based on my getting unusually nauseous.

I thought the solution was to scale the world, but there's more to it - and I think the solution is to reduce camera translation motion by the scale difference:

> Specifically if you translate your head sideways by the distance of your IOD, your left eyeball should now be seeing what your right eyeball was seeing. If it doesn't, the brain worries that something bad has happened, and makes you feel bad about it.

> Note that if you scale BOTH – you move the virtual cameras closer together, AND you reduce the in-game motion of the cameras due to head motion – everything is totally fine! The world just grew or shrank magically, but it all still works and you don't get nausea.

You may wonder why in hells a programmer would use imperial units instead of metric. It's to give the game a sense of being human-scale and pre-civilization. Why not just use metric and then convert everything to imperial for display purposes? Because then during debugging, units in logs constantly have to be converted to units shown, and the conversion isn't identical. It never bit me until VR!
Yes, because both BTC and ETH are well known for how cheap transactions are.
70k in Europe is totally comparable to 100k in US though and is a pretty comfortable salary in Europe.

Even if life is a little more expensive in Europe, you don’t need as much emergency savings as in the US.
If you are new to vector databases Weaviate is nice to get started with. With docker you are up and running in a few minutes. It is very easy to integrate with embedding and generative models from openai (direct and Azure), cohere and google (PaLM). All you need is enter your API keys. This makes prototyping very fast because you don't need to worry about infrastructure to interface with the models. The documentation is pretty good and the tutorial gets your feet wet quickly.

Weaviate is great for experimenting with generative and hybrid search scenarios across different models and vendors. It appears robust enough for production use on small and maybe medium size datasets. I have my doubts whether it would scale to billions of documents for large scale production use however.

My biggest gripe is that I need to reindex all my data when wanting to attach a new module (vectorizer, generator, etc) to a data class. While this is fine for prototyping and small datasets, this really cramps your style when you are talking millions to billions of docs. I also wish that when I have an array of strings (`text[]`) the vectorizer would create a vector for each element instead of just one for the entire array.

This speech by Colonel Jessep is meant to be revealing of his true thoughts and character. Jessep rationalizes the evil and immoral acts he commits or orders because he's "protecting" the rest of society. He lied to cover up his own malfeasance. A soldier died under his command, murdered, as a direct consequence of illegal orders he gave.

How do you completely twist the plot of this movie to arrive at the conclusion that Colonel Jessep's worldview is one to be admired instead of reviled?
I think this was a very specific case of someone editing an image and introducing a mistake. Experts knew what the real flag should look like.

For example, if the name on my birth certificate is Steve but my forgetful friends keep calling me Bob, my actual true name does not change regardless of how many people say my name wrong.

> How did Trump aid Russia?

Leaked US secrets with the Russian Ambassador. Secrets that cost years of political capital with Israel that had gotten those secrets. The leaked info included the name and face of a israeli spy still inside ISIS putting his life at risk. He also did not tell about this meeting to US media and the media found out after Russian gov sources posted photos of trump and 2 senior russian members giggling together in the white house

Eased sanctions on multiple Russian oligarchs such as Deripaska. Also planned on removing multiple sanctions on high end tech for Russia.

Told the international community he believed Crimea was Russian, despite Ukraine still claiming it as theirs. Also froze US aide to Ukraine which helped bost russian mobilisation before the invasion.

In terms of PR, he publically praised Putin multiple times, defended the Russian Syrian invassion, he defended russian allied states like Belarus over the EU. Dismished condeming russian attacks and the poisoning of UK citizens. Hired Manafort, a guy condemed for running pro russian campaigns in Ukraine, as his campaign manager. Publically sided with Russia over US intelligence sources that claimed Russia was using the taliban to kill american soldiers.

So how has Trump aided russia in summary: Reduced sanctions, shared classified info, talked them up internationally, hired their propaganda internationally to run his campaign and sided with russian sources over us intelligence in multiple PR nightmares.

Seems pretty straight forward.
Not really. They are both neoliberal, just with different market conditions.
Some constructive critique for the authors.

Would definitely help to have more information about the functionality other than 9 paragraphs on the front page. GL, chart of accounts, AR, AP, inventory, invoices, purchase orders, financial reporting (income statement/balance sheet/cash flow), etc etc. Preferably with screenshots and links to some walk-troughs.

Would definitely help to add comparison to other solutions (including OSS) out there. I used frontaccouting back in 2010s and was mostly satisfied with it (it is not free or open source but does have "community edition" which is). There's gnucash, plain text accounting, ERPNext, and probably dozens of others... How are you different/better?

People already mentioned discord support. I know people hate BBs these days and consider them old-fashioned, but they do provide one central point to see the latest announcements, questions sorted by area (installation vs accounting vs upgrade etc), links to articles and any other useful resources. Discord lacks all of this, and requires de-anonymization and can restrict your access to the platform on a whim. Non-starter for a lot of people.

Just my 2c.
It's still a MITM, and a MITM for a good chunk of all the web's traffic. Given the Snowden revelations, it's pretty much a given they're snooping.
The signatories on this are not crackpots. Hinton is incredibly influential, and he quit his job at Google so he could "freely speak out about the risks of A.I."

They're completely independent AI researchers and geniuses spending their own free time on trying to warn you and others of the dangers of the technology they've created to help keep the world safer.

While you're right that it's usually jazz kissas, the Sasebo bar[1] I mentioned had instruments for live playing - sort of like a mini-studio. Apparently some patrons might play rock there sometimes. But yes, I assume it was mostly about listening to recorded music.

The owner said that young people were leaving Sasebo for bigger cities with more work, so that was draining the vitality of the area. A common story all over Japan, as you probably know.

I've also been to jazz clubs in Japan and those are cool, but clearly a dying breed given the ages of the audience and most of the musicians. At a matinee at the historic Shinjuku Pit Inn, I think I was among the youngest members of the audience. Similar story at smaller, more intimate spots. It's just a declining trend with long-time regulars and not much new blood.

Trump aided Russia by being impeached twice.

As bad as American division had been, it's far worse now. We elected a man who threatened to throw his opponent in jail, and who claimed so loudly that the election had been stolen that hundreds of his followers invaded the US Capitol to steal it back. The US is on the verge of a massive economic crisis because of partisan combat.

Russia seems happiest when the US is divided against itself. It makes cogent policy impossible. They don't need to interfere directly. All they need to do is nudge us to our own worst instincts. And electing the personification of our national id has left us utterly incapable of acting.
For OP's specific case, wouldn't it be better to just special case the compiler to detect that it is a large vector, and pick the same datatype for all elements of the vector? Suddenly an exponential search becomes linear.
But what argument is there to refute? It feels like Aquinas “proving” God’s existence by stating that it is self evident.

They can’t point to an existing system that poses existential risk, because it doesn’t exist. They can’t point to a clear architecture for such a system, because we don’t know how to build it.

So again, what can be refuted?

Slashdot is a good example how a vastly unpopular redesign to make the site more "modern" can bring the whole business down. It's not even the bad redesign per se; it's sticking to it, and not reversing on it. A real shame in my opinion as I think that auto-moderation system is the best I've seen.

I have an unpopular opinion that the problem described is fine because of overpopulating of the world. Something must to stop us from multiplying even more.

I have gained admin access to numerous GCloud Organizations by accident
in Google Cloud, you can assign admin, billing, etc to a google group.

Years ago I made a google group for google cloud administration

A company in Spain, a bunch of startups, etc have added that google group (by accident) as an IAM user with varying level of roles attached

I now have billing access to one account, admin access to another, can just hop into the database of at least two of the accounts

I try to reach out to google support but because I don’t have “business” or “enterprise” level support I can’t even submit a ticket

I’m trying to let them know but can’t, they do t do chat, no phone number, even billing contact is an automated chatbot only

GCloud should have like “emergency reach out to a person” link or something
