TL;DR: They want the internal AI policy given to moderators to be revealed to the community, and in general want a more open/equal relationship with SO management.

Maybe it's because I'm not a native English speaker but I can't really figure out if they are against or for AI answers?

They say ChatGPT is s parrot leading to poor quality, so I assume they are against, but Stack Overflow did indeed ban ChatGPT messages? Then they say AI detectors have many false positives, so I guess they are against strong filtering? So what are they for then? This piece needs a tl;dr or bullet list... So yeah I asked our large language friend:

Stances from the text:

A general moderation strike is being initiated.
The strike is in protest of recent and upcoming changes to policy and the platform by Stack Exchange, Inc.
Striking community members will refrain from moderating and curating content.
Critical community-driven anti-spam and quality control infrastructure will be shut down.
The new policy on AI-generated content is harmful and overrides community consensus.
There has been a serious failure to communicate on the part of Stack Exchange, Inc.
AI-generated content poses risks to the integrity of the platform and represents an honesty issue.
Stack Exchange, Inc. has ignored the needs and consensus of the community and made decisions without consulting those most affected.
The striking users want the AI policy change to be retracted or modified to address concerns and empower moderators.
They want the internal AI policy given to moderators to be revealed to the community.
Clear and open communication from Stack Exchange, Inc. regarding policy changes is demanded.
Collaboration with the community instead of fighting it is expected.
Stack Exchange, Inc. should be honest about the company's relationship with the community.
A change in leadership philosophy toward the community is needed.
Leadership should allocate resources based on community needs and involve the community in feature development.
Neglecting and mistreating volunteers can lead to a decrease in goodwill and motivation.
The concerns laid out in the open letter and the post should be addressed to end the strike.

Imho this is the key thing: They want the internal AI policy given to moderators to be revealed to the community, and in general want a more open/equal relationship with SO management.
Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus both show frames per watt iirc.
IIRC there is a new controlnet model that is supposed to help.

But simple pre and post processing with latent blending can get you pretty far.
No, it' not that low for mid level engineers. Here's some anecdotal data:

An SDE II offer from Amazon (Berlin) was 90k base + 15K sign-on bonus + some RSUs. An SDE I (new-grad ish) at Amazon makes 72K euros + RSUs (at Aachen).

Zalando offered 75k for an Applied Science role (Berlin) for someone with a masters degree and 3 years of web-dev experience before the masters.

Delivery Hero (Berlin) recently hired a friend of mine. His base pay was 84k euros. He had ~ 5 years of experience as a back-end dev.

Some one I know who defended their PhD in 2022 was offered 90k (base pay, no variable component) at Porsche.

I know about a recent offer from a translation comp
any based in Cologne that was close to 80k euros (base) for an SDE.

New grads still get offers in the 45-55k range, especially in smaller cities. A friend of mine just received a 57k offer from Deutsche Boerse (Frankfurt) for a non-SDE technical role. Honestly, it's not bad. 57k is approximately 2500 euros a month after taxes. Assuming that you pay 1000 euros for rent, you are still left with 1500 euros. Groceries shouldn't be more than 500-600 euros a month.
In most jurisdictions, cities have no say in this question. Schools can ban cell phones on school grounds, during business hours, that's it. Everything else is mostly a question of at least state if not national legislation. So, no, it's not gonna happen.

The US might be different, the amount of stuff a school board, for one single school, HOAs or city councils can legislate is just mind boggling sometimes.
I think this is standard corporate speak. Even in office my colleagues give long prose for just yes or no.
How about a principled and optimistic take? And/Or, the basis under which moderators have been offering their services.

We may have been duped by a company's lies, of course. Seems like they've committed a mix of copyright infringement and fraud in that case.
not a bad idea.

What is there to learn? We already know that it's possible. This is some of the lowest-hanging fruit imaginable and is what spammers have already been doing.
Since you seem to be from citusdata: I used cstore_fdw 2 - 3 years back and at least when paired with TPC-H it was horrendously broken for both small (10 gig) and large (100 gig) datasets. It has been integrated into some other product by the time being, I hope you managed to improve it.

I'm sure it can't match the flexibility & features your program offers, but a hacker's way would be providing that functionality via a one liner targeting their database. Assuming that dbs.txt contains a list of connection strings and migration.sql contains a set of SQL commands, an example for Postgres would be:

cat dbs.txt | xargs -I% sh -c 'cat migration.sql | sed "1ibegin;" | sed "\$arollback;" | psql %'

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to shit on your product; just wanted to share the way I accomplish basically the same goal. Congrats on your release and hope it gets the attention it deserves.
I mean, the Allies literally bombed a major city with the first atomic weapon and Japan was like "yeah, not going to surrender". Then after the 2nd bomb, it still took days and a Soviet invasion to get them to surrender.

I'm not sure a demonstration would mean much if destroying a entire city didn't convince them.

"Talking with tact: Polite language as a balance between kindness and informativity"

Keywords: Politeness; computational modeling; communicative goals; pragmatics

PDF: https://langcog.stanford.edu/papers_new/yoon-2016-cogsci.pdf

"Discussion"

"Why would a speaker ever say something that is not maximally truthful and informative? Communication is often examined from the perspective of successful information transfer from speaker to listener. In the social realm, however, communication also can serve the social function of making the listener feel good and saving her face. We proposed here that intuitively “polite” utterances arise
from the desire to be kind (i.e. save face). A cooperative
speaker then tries to balance the goals to be kind and to be informative, and produces utterances of varying degrees of politeness that reflect this balance. To test this proposal, we examined inferential judgments on a speaker’s utterance, which was a potentially face-threatening evaluation of the listener’s performance. As we predicted, participants’ inferences about the true state of the world differed based on what the speaker said and whether the speaker’s intended goal was to be honest, nice or mean (Expt. 2). We were also able to predict participants’ attributions of different social goals to speakers depending on how well the literal utterance meaning matched the actual rating the performance deserved (Expt. 3).
The model presented here relates to other work done in
game-theoretic pragmatics. Van Rooy (2003) uses a gametheoretic analysis of polite requests (“Could you possibly take me home?”) to argue the purpose of polite language is to align the preferences of interlocutors. Our notion of social utility Usocial is similar in that it motivates speakers to signal worlds that make the listener feel good. Van Rooy’s analysis, however, relies on the notion that polite language is costly (in a social way e.g., by reducing one’s social status or incurring social debt to one’s conversational partner) but it’s not clear how the polite behaviors explored in our experiments (not polite requests) would incur any cost to speaker or listener. Our model derives its predictions by construing the speaker utility as a collection of possible goals (here, epistemic and social goals). The speech-acts themselves are not costly. Will machines ever be polite? Politeness requires more than merely saying conventionalized words (please, thank you) at the right moments; it requires a balance of informativity and kindness. Politeness is not an exception to rational communication; it is one important element of rational communication, serving a key social function of maintaining relationships. We extended the Rational Speech Acts framework to include social utility as a motive for utterance production. This work takes a concrete step toward quantitative models of the nuances of polite speech. And it moves us closer to courteous computation—to computers that communicate with tact."

> There's no way to tell if content is AI generated.

In general no. But I don't think anyone human writes in the typical style of a ChatGPT answer, so in practice there is a large class of cases where you can tell.
Absolutely. Yet this is strategy is completely void if an entire subreddit's moderation group is removed and reddit admins installed instead.
AM4 has been great for this. Upgraded from a 3700x to a 5950x last year, then from 32GiB of RAM to 64GiB this year.
Ballast Cleaner
Taking aside the fact that the AI generated answers are awfully wrong most of the time, this line of thinking also leads to an absolutely dreadful state of internet where everything is AI generated crap. This is made worse by the fact that StackOverflow has points, badges and everything. People buy and sell stars on github to increase their chances of being hired somewhere. People absolutely will game the shit out of StackOverflow, not caring for a single second if it actually makes it a better place if it means they get shiny badges and get to put "top commenter on the C# subject on SO (588100 points)" on their resume.
Interesting mathematics problem aside.

I think OpenAI sells a subscription to a ChatGPT detector. So you can pay for h. Does it work correctly? I don't know. Selling the poison and the antidote seems like a good business move though (I know, you asked "other than private API" - not sure they record the generated text, not sure they don't).

Now, a ChatGPT-generated text (for current versions of ChatGPT) is more or less recognizable so for moderation purpose I would guess you don't really need h, you can smell the bullshit. It has a specific way to be overconfident and it feels like it's giving you a lesson in a specific impersonal way without emotions. Something like this. I have the same kind of feeling when reading a WikiHow page, WikiHow has a very specific and recognizable style to explain things.

I guess you can recognize patterns / specific behaviors on accounts posting ChatGPT texts too, which can help for particularly short texts.

It's worth mentioning https://YUNoHost.org.

I've done plenty of manual self-hosting. I explored sandstorm for a year or two in the mid 2010s. It worked as promised, but the complexity of integrations, fraying, showed.

I switched to yunohost 6 years ago. I almost entirely don't think about it. I use a few services, wallabag and Uptime Kuma. Tried Nextcloud, HedgeDoc /HackMD/CodiMD, and Monica PRM because it was so painless to give them a go.

My initial motivation for exploring it, came from the hope it could install NextCloud. My attempts at installing OpenCloud and NextCloud, with scripts that would make non-idempotent changes that fail on a second run after first pass fixes, left me sensing an unfriendly forced upsell environment.

I have had to do some manual fixing to complete an upgrade or two, but it has workflows for backups, and some stringent, but fully automated configuration, sanity checking. I don't worry about the complexity.
What’s Expected of Us
Sure I dispute it, but that's not my point. You want schools to teach children the values of the society they will go on to contribute to. If you want them to internalize the idea that guys with big arms and gravelly voices have more authority than little women or effeminate academic types, then your idea has merit. That's what we did in the past. If you want them to value competence, then your idea is absolute garbage.

I'm very happy we've moved past the point where you have to have a pair of testicles to be taken seriously as an authority figure. Obviously, some really hide-bound institutions like the military haven't completely internalized that, but then, that could be why militaries underperform. Russia, for example, has a very macho military, and (surprise!) it sucks.
Nazis should be deemed acceptable targets of unprovoked violence — but the least they should go to prison for that. It’s not a free speech violation when the whole ideology is incompatible with society.
It's more complex than that, they are trained to model their language and understanding of a concept to match the author. There is not enough memory in the network to remember the actual text.

It's like giving a talented an artist a day with a painting, and then a day later ask them to precisely copy the painting from memory. Would they come close enough for it to be considered a forgery, or will it be a transformative reinterpretation? It will probably depend on the skill of the artist, and I feel it might go either way.

That doesn't change the fact that these corporations have an interest in data privacy and cost reduction. To wit, if MS wouldn't guarantee data security in european datacenters, they would be way less competitive in the EU.

Many corporations run their own datacenters, have on premises mailservers and run their own backup solutions. Not everything is in the cloud.

Yeah it depends on their goal. If it's to scare individual mods out of participating this would work, if it's to just take over whole subs, then obviously reddit could just do that no problem all over the site.

I have not found a reasonably good answer to a question in at least 5 years. Seems more like 10.

I still get a better hit rate from mailing lists and github issues.
One issue I have with these sorts of studies is the short-term nature of the tasks the programmers are given. It's easy to complete short assignments quickly if you know you'll never need to maintain the code.

A lot of the time the programmers that I would class to be in the 10x range don't complete the early tasks in a greenfield project much faster that an average programmer - however the choices they make, the way they write their tests and the architecture they use results in a codebase where their next tasks are as easy for them as the previous ones. Come back to the project two years later and they're still finding new tasks easy to complete.

While I'm looking forward to this experiment, it feels so much like all what adults (many of them) are forbidding to children, thinking it will be better off preserving their innocence, until they turn 18. They've suddenly access to cars, alcohol, sex and more, and when mixed together, especially the alcohol part, after 18 years of obedience, this sometimes doesn't end up very well. On another hand, some parents educate their children drinking small amount of wine and/or beer - is that worse?
Because you only fight so hard to reduce costs that you can just pass through.

Schools -- assuming willingness / ability to spend $ on education is fixed -- are already losing $ that could have gone to them to publishers.
Many architectures have hardware support for stacks, which could be slightly faster than arbitrary load/stores. Only works in the function owning the stack frame of course, if you pass a pointer to a stack object somewhere else, it's back to being normal memory.

Tue bar is actually quite high. Teo things can block it: if there is a workers council, it has to approve surveillance of an employees use of IT systems. That surveillance can only be target to specific, named users and for specific purposes, almost like a mini search warrant. If there is no workers council, at the latest stage a court will have a very, very close look at what isbpresented as evidence. The middle ground is an affected employee's lawyer and the employer. Result being, that kind of comms / IT surveillance is basically never happeneing. Which is a very, very good thing!
Ryzen 7940 supports up to 256Gb in a laptop form factor, with AMD's AI cores adopted from Xilinx (which seem to have some quite interesting features) as well as M2 beating CPU and GPU performance. I'm sure the race will continue, with wins for both sides and all of us. Unified memory is certainly a much less expensive way to enable large memories for GPUs and accelerators. It seems that all parties are introducing AI acceleration of some kind into CPU silicon within the next generation, which is exciting for the prospect of needing nothing more than a recent CPU to run inference on a large model.
If I put smart stuff into my home — color bulbs, switches, sensors — then I’d probably be changing about 40 bulbs and 40 switches. Throw in the HVAC and some other things and we can round it up to 64 different inputs and outputs.

I don't know if you have ever visited Alaska, but I watched a homeowner trying to take out a bag of garbage and a bear with cabs coming to try and snatch it. Personally, I would want whoever in the family is doing that to have some kind of a failsafe if a wildlife interaction goes wrong. If not a gun, then high end bear spray that would still be dangerous to a human if misused. Do you really think that even teenagers should never take out garbage in Alaska? There are also places where a cellphone is the right risk/benefit balance.
Some language implementations are under active development, like C++, Go and Rust. Others not so much. As language support comes, these are major ones. Let's hope they can drive the ecosystem forwards into more popular use.
