This is going to piss people off, but that's because people who sink huge portions of their spare time and energy into video games do not become CEOs. "Getting high on your own supply" doesn't set you up for professional exceptionalism.
Yup, but I just got the basic stainless steel one.

It can give my wrist a dark “shadow,” if I am sweating a lot, but otherwise, it’s been fine.

I have a ton of straps. Some of the non-metal ones are total garbage, and peel and crack.

If they had an “interim” variant, for around $100, I would consider that. I have a Junghans Apollo, that I got their full-fat strap for, and that was $150. That watch cost more than any of the (current) Apple Watches, and I haven’t worn it in years.
Yea lmao people with power protect and grow it, they don’t become public servants.

Yes, in fact I can. If doing so will gain them competitive advantage by motivating regulators to enshrine their business methods and interests as “the“ legal and state-protected way. Much like the Greater East India company protected their monopoly by being given exclusive rights to trade partly on the basis of protecting those very trade routes for the benefit of their state partners.
I don't have to imagine, I own a business that people steal from regularly.

It pisses me off, of course. I've never prosecuted anyone though.

I have things that are not for sale, like decorations. Yes, it would be better if someone left the money when they stole it.

Then they're just buying an item I don't want to sell, I guess. It's way better, yes.
> Years from now, the extra few days he got to play won't matter at all.

While I agree in general with the sentiment that time is fungible, I think the story about getting a job to steal a video game might make the whole experience more memorable. "I found a video game on the street and got to play it early" is one thing, but "I got a job so I could steal a pre-release copy of the game" reflects a lot about the character of the person.

The early days playing the game won't matter, but the days spent PRIOR to playing the game will be a treasured memory.
It's likely not just the English speakers - assuming this is the same way as it is in Norway - even if you tried to learn the language, you'll still struggle with the native speakers "just using English as it's more efficient with both being proficient". I witnessed this in the workplace, and I heard plenty of anecdotes from the local college where PhD students struggling with learning Norwegian for the same reason, and last but not least I've done this myself.
Some people might regard having one fewer moving part to be a benefit of just doing it in the database.
The path language is somewhat a standard (lol) but is very similar to HPGL, glyph definitions in fonts, GCode, or even Logo and reading it is not a requirement.

Consider alternatively, that we do not owe journalists our trust, and that they need to take proactive steps to regain that trust, which had clearly been lost. Blaming consumers of journalism for lack of trust, is a step away from victim-blaming.

Journalists collaborating with the very state institutions over which they are meant to be a watchdog for the sake of future access is destroying the profession.

I have a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering and 5 years of professional experience in machine learning and backend infrastructure. I’ve been obsessed with computers for as long as I can remember. I’m an autodidact with a wide breadth of computer science knowledge and a deep expertise in ML.
How good or evil are you when gaming?
One issue with that is that more capable models are slower and more expensive, negating some of the benefits.

I could do insane things with a hypothetical version of GPT 4 that’s private, effectively free, and a few orders of magnitude faster.

“Find a security vulnerability in this” thrown at a million lines of code could be fun.
how is it a con if it's a useful contribution? it's not my job to filter bot accounts used for starring repos. if a PR improves my project I'll accept it.
Can't co-exist with chargebacks IMO and chargebacks are the entire reason we have credit.
There you're taking the already high-ish barrier for devs to pay for tools, as discussed elsewhere in this thread, and adding on the really high barrier to get people to donate to things they can use for free.
Afaik Databases(as opposed to server) have a default timezone setting, but that is only used if the client hasn’t provided one.

Looking forward to Microsoft acquiring this mess. Can only get better.
The age-old adage "luck is preparation plus opportunity" is relevant here.

I decided a while ago to be better at being with people, and started preparing myself toward that goal. It's taken a while but I'm doing well now. Also I've set myself up for success by living in a place that attracts and fosters the kinds of folks I like to spend time with -- this is really super important, people aren't the same everywhere you go. Then as summer began coming on this year and people seem to have dropped all those pandemic-time idiosyncracies I've been giving myself ample opportunity to mix with extended friend groups and random meetups (mostly bike rides and races in my case) to great benefit for everyone involved.

> It gave me strong vibes of Nintendo's ads for the Switch and Wii.

Nintendo doesn't make fully immersive games. They make fun games with often cartoon graphics and logic.

Which happens to be how people play "immersive" games anyway. The number of glitched GTA5 videos I've seen proves that its not really about immersion as much as it is about seeing if the physics engine of GTA5 can handle a car hopping across the skyscrapers or not.

Nintendo's entire pitch is: "Here's something we found fun", and it works. Because its not very clear that anyone else is focusing on ya know, fun things.

SEEKING WORK | Italy | Remote

I am a security researcher, author, and writer seeking for work. I offer two main type of services: reverse engineering and code audit. My background is on Computer Engineering, specializing into Information Security with a particular glance for abstract interpretation and static analysis.

I've been passionate about reverse engineering since I was at high school, when I got my first job involving the recovering of an algorithm used to obfuscate an input of industrial machine. Since then I've been working on a lot of projects related to RE (unfortunately under nda) that ranges from automotive to home appliance. My main stack includes IDA pro, Ghidra and BinaryNinja to ensure the high quality of the analysis and crosscheck the hypothesis via debuggers (LLDB). The main target architecture: arm and x86, but I've worked on some others specific architecture that required a different approach, like rewriting a disassembler based on the information of a specs sheet. My work includes malware analysis, and source code recovering. I've worked also on analysis of firmwares for IoT, writing security reports on common bad practices producers used to have in their devices. (Different from reverse engineering, but I can sure work with you if you need that type of service).

Code audit instead relies on analysis of source code looking for undefined conditions, bad code practice and patterns, and, naturally, security issues. The final work is a detailed analysis on the issues found in the code, optionally including fixes or the patch if needed. The programming language I usually work with includes most of imperative languages: C, C++, Python, Java, Go (and more others).

If you want to read the type of analysis I perform, you can look at my blog or request the reports I did for the clients via e-mail.

The point of these models isn't to help poor people, it's to make as much money as possible. One of the most straightforward ways for that to happen is to drastically suppress salaries. This tech could very easily harm way more people than it helps.

Absolutely no one is spending tens of millions of dollars developing these tools in order to let random plebs capture much of the value produced by them.
I still don't have good intuitions about overall economical impacts, but that part struck me as well because I've been wondering whether it'll be more "the best can use these tools better" or "the best will lose their competitive advantage".

What is important to consider though is that in this case here, the AI tool in question merely provided pre-written responses for agents to accept/reject/adapt, and how the effects are distributed may well shift as tools become more sophisticated and will just automatically handle most low-stakes/simple cases.
Oh man, that dang Gloom Spawn startled me pretty bad the first few times I saw it and caused a hilarious (to observers) scene. One type of game I won't play in VR is a horror game. TBF, I won't play them at all, but any game that has scary bits won't be played in VR.
> LLMs are generalist in that they perform better than a majority of people already on a huge range of intellectual tasks.

How true that is depends on how you define "better". But we've been making lots of tools over thousands of years that can perform tasks better than people. You need more than that to declare a thing "intelligent" in the sense the average person thinks of it.

> To place your bet that we will never reach AGI is bone-headed.

Never is a very long time, but I think it's a solid bet that it won't happen within the next few decades, at least.

> Why is this the default assumption until proven otherwise?

In the absence of solid evidence for the existence of a thing, assuming its nonexistence is the logical position.

> We need to prepare society for AGI (or prevent its creation) well before it is realized.

We agree on this. But that's not what's happening. What's happening is some people are scaring the hell out of other over an imminent that there is no evidence exists.

We have lots of time to consider these things carefully and to react with calm prudence.

> So the course of action that maximizes utility is to assume we're close and prepare for it.

Not in the way it's happening. The way its happening will, in my opinion, actually increase the harm that AI is threatening to cause, and will distract from the actual risks that AI as it exists right now poses.
We've been seeing stuff like this with COVID-19. Long term, COVID-19 can increases susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, diseases which end up having dramatic impacts on brain health. I know some of the scientists that are having a field day publishing research measuring biomarkers that can predict brain health, and they are absolutely seeing an uptick after COVID-19, and have linked it to malfunctioning immune systems.
Never. As someone who works on these systems, the cure is often worse than the disease. Fix the root issue and enforce distracted driving laws, ban in car touchscreens.
In Florida, the fees paid for specialty plates are given directly to an organization which established the plate -- typically a charitable organization. So they're a way to support, while also providing personalization. The $25/year for my plate goes directly to my alma mater. Even Disney set up their plates to go to the Make a Wish Foundation.

Haskell course at university. Had fun doing all the exercises in the curriculum, and couldn't stop. Explored on my own how to implement in Haskell the more advanced programming patterns that weren't covered in the course. Had fun with lazily evaluated infinite lists where you evaluate the second element of the lazy list that was passed as an argument, and at the end of the same lower order function you return the lazy list but with its head chopped off, to have the algorithm run in constant space.

I have come to regard lazily evaluated infinite lists as a must-have before you can call something a functional programming language.

In trying to build more complex systems, I noticed that you really have to know what you're doing with Haskell, otherwise you end up with leaks that are very difficult to trace back.

What really solidified FP for me was taking an elective category theory for computer scientists course.

Today I'm building stuff in Scala, which is the closest you can get to being able to pay the bills while doing principled FP.
Students are watching recorded lectures online instead. Author suggests a hybrid approach, with less watching and more in-person attendance.

Hands-on experience, in-person interaction, and those off-the-cuff nuggets of wisdom, are critical in the first couple years, to what the author labels as the "technical" aspects of medicine, before starting as a member of a patient care team.

fwupd and Windows Update both use the same underlying packaging mechanism for shipping firmware updates. All my comments apply equally to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/b... :)
For now. I really don't like where it's going long term. Right now your worth as a human is in what you are able to do. I am terrified to think of a time when for everything you could ever hope to learn there would be a model that would be able to do this 10 times better than you for $3/hr amortized cost. The few who would own the models would own the world and the rest would be rendered essentially worthless.
You aren’t thinking deeply enough if you think ads is what they'd do. Electrically connected chips can just zap the pleasure center, conditioning you to a level beyond the word brainwashing.

I think people talk too much about AI apocalypse and too little about neuralink. Neuralink will be the death of humanity in principle, eviscerating whatever hopes of freewill we hoped we had.

Imagine your employer programming the chip to give you pleasure when you work. Imagine autocratic nations implanting it into every newborn, and algorithmically controlling the nation’s thoughts —- leaving propaganda as a laughable, feeble relic of the past.

Monitors are a pain in the arse. I bought a 65 inch tv last year to use as a monitor that I'm now selling and it's difficult to shift. You can't really ship it because the risk of it being damaged is high so no-one will give you a reasonable quote with insurance. So I'm going to have to sell it to someone locally, probably at a super low price. Looking forward to never having this problem ever again with this new tech. Between projectors and these glasses I think TVs are going to become obsolete tech within the next two decades. It's only a matter of time until someone makes an app that allows you and all your mates to watch whatever you want on your own individual glasses but in sync with each other. And for the people who want a permanent glasses off experience at home I think laser projectors are going to come down in price and become commonplace. TVs are going to go the way of the dodo.
Are you talking about a Meta account or a Facebook account?
I'd like to point out that developers are likely exposed to more subscription costs than most average people. This or that tool is $5/m, hosting is $80 (or you run your own server, of which the electricity usage is constant), GitHub is $5-$15/m, Jet brains is close to $20.

Calling us cheap I think overlooks the enormity of tools and businesses that chose this model and calculated that they're the only ones doing it. Subscription costs are charged whether you use the tool or not, and if you stop subscribing you lose any previous versions you've paid for. It's a uniquely grimey model.
* Announce Overwatch 2

* Stop all updates for 3 years - including balance updates

* Announce this is necessary for PvE rewrite

* Release Overwatch 2 without PvE with f2p Battlepass monetization model - change to 5v5 instead of 6v6

* Shut down all Overwatch 1 servers with the release of OW2

* Announce PvE is cancelled
I’m guessing the reason this is brought up is because of the concern about if the license server goes down or the company goes out of business can I still use the product.

I agree that MAI v Peek is crazy.

I was only pointing out that the law is of the opinion that a copy is a copy is a copy, regardless of where it's made, or how long it exists for.

Other decisions come into play to save us, like Authors Guild v Google, where they said search engines could make copies, bringing Fair Use into the picture.

Personally, I think that creating the model is Fair Use, but anything produced by the model would need to be checked for a violation. I would treat it the same as if I went to Google Book Search, and copied the snippet it returned into my new book.

The license associated with the training data then becomes insanely important. Having the model reference back to the source data is even more important.

For example, training data with a CC BY license would be very different to CC BY-SA and CC BY-ND, and they all require the work produced by the model to have credit back to the original source to be publishable.

Which standards didn't it adhere to? Plenty of reasons not to use it for anything significant, but I've used numerous 6502 assemblers and the BBC BASIC syntax is/was pretty normal. Standard mnemonics, standard addressing mode syntax, & for hex, . as a mandatory label prefix, and \ for comments - if this exact combination is unique, the overall appearance is well within the range of what counts as normal for this category of tool.

(Being able to put multiple instructions on one line is unusual, but it's also pretty useful.)

The assembler they used for in-house development did use a rather unique syntax: https://github.com/stardot/AcornOS120/blob/master/src/MOS48
Gaslighting is: "a specific type of manipulation where the manipulator is trying to get someone else (or a group of people) to question their own reality, memory or perceptions. "

Is that what you intended to say? Is someone manipulating your memories? Are you questioning your own reality after parent's comments?

Sure, stealing is wrong. But he paid them back for the theft. In Amazon's eyes, they just made a sale. And probably a bit of a laugh over what the kid went through
