Doesn't that basically serve as advertising for them though? How many people with Instagram accounts are going to try testing some of these keywords, just to see if they are real? How many aren't going to simply take the word of the journalist and suddenly have these recommendations spamming them and others?
There are many humans I'd turn off if it wasn't illegal.

And even more of them I'd turn off only if I knew with certainty that I could turn them back on whenever I want, and that their memories would simply continue where they stopped.
Salted or not, a city is made up of people, people who were either killed or enslaved. Rebuilt or not, it's not the same Carthage. And if you argue that an emperor from the region 400 years later somehow proves that Carthage didn't lose, you're not a serious person.
Damn, I liked the Skyrider concept. Even for someone that sits at a desk all day, standing for a few hours wouldn't kill me, and I'd do it for the right amount of savings. Transit riders do the Skyrider thing on a moving vehicle regularly, but without the seatbelt, chair or backrest...

> The same would be true with standing seats since they are spaced so closely together from front to back, and passengers’ heads would be much closer to the fuselage of a plane when using a standing seat.

3/4/5 pointed seatbelts for takeoff/landing would be the way to go here no? Flight attendants seats often have these. Planes can't decelerate that much in the sky.

The lengths that the "good guys" will go to in order to spy on the "bad guys" and how they'll be lying into their graves about it.

You can't trust a single word intelligence agencies say. We have no idea what they are collecting, how it is stored, indexed, searched, or used, or how long. They actively deny operations they are currently engaged in, i.e. they lie, at the highest levels.

There are only technical limitations imposed by computational resources. Which aren't really limitations when they have effectively infinite funding at this point.

They've infiltrated hardware; inserted backdoors, not just at telcos, but into privately-developed and owned locations.

They consider encryption to be a stumbling block and are willing to intervene to weaken it to serve their purposes.

Absolutely shitbirds, all. I don't care what their ends are, their means are to create a digital dystopia that simply cannot be trusted. They basically broke tech; usurped it to serve the power structure. And so many people and companies went along with, are going along with, and are enriching themselves by doing so.

This future sucks. I hate my own devices.
Yes of course I would feel bad. I care about the future of humanity. If we're going to cease to exist then what's the point of trying to achieve anything with your life?
I tried Sponsorblock for a while, mainly for getting all the garbage out of LTT vids. But I ended up turning it off because it always seems to jump a little to soon and a little too far. So it will jump from mid sentence to mid another sentence seemingly out of nowhere, which got to be too disorienting for me. Now I just use it for the little green marker and skip manually.
Thanks for the response, I definitely wish you luck but I think you're going to have to focus more on a non-developer niche. So maybe add more integrations to outside APIs. From the YouTube video it doesn't seem like this is too accessible to anyone without a strong technical background .

At that point, why not spin up your own API. That said this is a very profitable sector so I do think your company will do well. Good luck
Start with a planet-scale computer that makes the marginal cost of RL be nearly zero, and at the same time spend a lot of money on hashing and sorting so the micro-optimization pays off.
Really nice! I tried Russian. A few comments. (Also please add Hebrew and Arabic)

- The level was too high for me and I wasn't sure how to ask the teacher to ask me something simpler. She did say something about talking slower but my problem was with not understanding specific words. (OK, I see now that the text can be translated so that should help)

2. The suggestions assume you can read the langue but often it's not the case when one learns to speak. I don't see a translation option for the suggestions (adding pronunciation might help; can be English text)

3. It's a bit slow. I totally understand why but I think in order for users to have long conversations, speed is crucial.

4. I would be happy to pay for something like this. I think it could make sense to target kids. Many parents, me included, would be happy to pay for their kids to use something like this. I'm assuming Doulingo are going to add something similar but don't let that distract you. Great job!
The stock photo industry killed Google image search, so they can reap what they sow.
> Google decided it conflicted with their competitor format AVIF

This is absolutely ridiculous take given JPEG XL is mainly authored by Google and Cloudinary, with AVIF coming from Netflix & alliance that includes Google.

There is no "competitor" here. Just a format nobody else indicated interest in supporting (notably Apple which forces ~half of mobile marked to have no support, given their browser engine restrictions).

Now that they added the support Chrome can easily bring it back.
I think it's challenging to multi task but perfectly possible to maintain decent productivity.

It was the business that claimed productivity was better with remote working, not the employees.
Kind of wild how after months of war propaganda desperately pointing the finger at Russia, a completely illogical suspect since they lost the immense leverage they had over Germany and wider Europe with the pipeline, the evidence is starting to come in that the more obvious suspects, namely Ukraine, are in fact the likely perpetrators.
Or, you know, you could take the question in the spirit it was asked. Because dylan604 knows there are other offenders, and I'm not even in the business of policing these issues. So, it's only logical to extrapolate that out to expect that those actually responsible for policing these issues would know about them as well. So why not bring up charges on all of them? Is it honestly because the team involved is so small and they have no multitasking abilities so they can only work on one case at a time? Is it because of all of the people they've approached, they've all made amends and changed their ways so that they are only charging those that held out?

There are many ways "why just one" type of questions can be answered, and the "because 2" responses are tired.

I could potentially see movies needing to credit AI in the end credits. Not sure how that would work out. Maybe list all the scenes and what AI was used? But none-the-less, not an easy clear cut solution.

This answer is pretty terse and doesn't provide a lot of understanding. Found these helpful articles instead, explaining the difference between an absolute horizon [0], which is what you're talking about, and an apparent horizon [1], which is the idea I've been asking about without knowing the magic word for.

My kid watches youtube but i track his history. it's generally harmless gaming stuff from creators i don't worry about too much. he doesn't use any social media otherwise (a bit of discord for gaming, that's it).
I also took junior high typing in the 1980s, but we used manual typewriters. There were two IBM Selectrics in the back of the class that were used by lucky students for the day.

I type with only the three inner index fingers of each hand, because the keys on the manual typewriters were hard to press.

This limits my typing speed to 60wpm. If I used all four fingers, I could probably hit 90.
Self driving isn't a sensor problem, its a software problem.

From how humans drive, its pretty clear that there exists some latent space representation of immediate surroundings inside our brains that doesn't require a lot of data. If you had a driving sim wheel and 4 monitors for each direction + 3 smaller ones for rear view mirror, connected to a real world car with sufficiently high definition cameras, you could probably drive the car remotely as well as you could in real life, all because the images would map to the same latent space.

But the advantage that humans have is that we have an innate understanding of basic physics from experience in interacting with the world, which we can deduce from something simple as a 2d representation, and that is very much a big part of that latent space. You wouldn't be able to drive a car if you didn't have some "understanding" of things like velocity, acceleration, object collision, e.t.c

So my bet is that just like with LLMs, there will be research published at some point that given certain frames in a video, it will be able to extrapolate the physical interactions that will occur, including things like collision, relative distances, and so on. Once that is in place, self driving systems will get MASSIVELY better.
> You might as well say, "Private unmonitored housing and properties implicitly allow the trading of CSAM."

The article is IMO utterly failing to distinguish between what I think are two products that are very, very different. On the one hand, there’s Telegram, which is effectively a private, unmonitored space. On the other hand:

> Instagram's popularity and user-friendly interface make it a preferred option for these activities. The platform's recommendation algorithms effectively advertise SG-CSAM: these algorithms analyze user behaviors and content consumption to suggest related content and accounts to follow.

That is not a private, unmonitored space.

I tend to think that service providers that recommend content should be responsible for their recommendations.
The capitalist system doesn't preclude workers from acquiring capital or capitalist from working. It also doesn't dictate the relative return on capital investment versus worker labor.

The rate of return on capital is what dictates the concentration of wealth, or conversely, the dispersal of wealth.

The conceptual systems introduced by Marx and others is that only workers can own capital and are based on a set of assumptions about Capital returns versus labor power.
This problem has been solved many times, for example the goal-oriented action planning method allows dynamic behaviour and real games have implemented this.
But you are correct in that this means more effort for developers and doesn't sell more lootboxes.

>unless you've already bought an office tower or committed to a 15 year office lease

Not our problem.

"Don't buy things you can't afford" applies to capitalists, too. They insisted on cramming everyone into loud bullpen office spaces, decried WFH as "laziness" or a "privilege" for years, failed to invest in modern technology, and now their big dumb plan is backfiring. Sounds like a valuable lesson!
They do sell your information and that's a huge problem. They don't have more data on you though, because the gov is aggregating all of that + what they get from programs like PRISM. Consider the likes of FB selling your data to the gov a part of the same program that Snowden shed light on.

> Do you think multitasking is feasible?

Of course it is.

I have no idea how I would've handled the last decade of my life if I wasn't working from home. I am sure that some people can't multitask, some people just work less from home. I am also sure that for most adults with kids/homes/parents to take care of, working from home means getting WORK done and also managing all that other stuff. It just would NOT be possible working from an office.

Another Reason Why I Don't Keep a Gun in the House (Poem)
The difference is I'm not saying what everyone should do, but rather expressing dislike for people who like to fantasize about ordering everyone around.
Well, either they did or they didn't. The confusion comes when we try to apply modern outlooks to people from a different civilization, and end up saying "well, I'd never do that, so neither would they," and we end up ignoring evidence that doesn't fit our preconception of the world.
Okay, here's some brutal feedback, please take it with your best interests at heart. I am an English native speaker who has lived in Spain for 10 years, and has become fluent.

1) These speech-to-text models are poor when it comes to non-natives. This is unfortunate as the idea you had and the product you've designed could be incredible for language learning. However - it's a bit crap - sorry - I can speak Spanish well and was asked in the conversation if I wanted a medium sized cup of coffee, I replied "sí, mediano", the resulting text was outputted as "mariano", then in the role play the coffee shop worker then assumed my name was Mariano! Completely ludicrous and frustrating.... in real life the coffee shop worker is clearing expecting the word 'mediano' and will hear what I said and know that's what I was trying to say. The speech-to-text-model completely fails to get this.

Until speech-to-text models trained on non-natives are made readily available, products like this with so much promise will infuriate learners, which will stop them paying for it.

And this was ordering a coffee.... imagine an actually complicated conversation.

So my advice would be, right now the speech-to-text models aren't capable of doing what you're hoping they can do... but.... once you get a model that can, this will be insanely popular....

So hang in there, other than that it was a fun experience, and critically, people are scared of practising with real people, something like this would be insanely popular if it actually worked well. Good luck.
I think it is possible to modify his idea with the concept of externalities to make it work. Do you feel that is not the case?
You are misremembering, Jinja uses python syntax like a sane language so it would be `{% set foo = ["alpha", "beta"] %} {{ foo[1] }}` not `{{ foo.[1] }}` like they use. I actually probably wouldn't have chirped about it if they used the alternate syntax (also supported by Jinja) of `{{ foo.1 }}` but the belt-and-suspenders of requiring the array brackets and the dot is just ... why?
Without RT it's actually not that demanding.

And art cannot be controlled once it is released to the public. If you don't want people to see it, if you're too cowardly to accept the all the consequences that come with it, then don't release your art. It's really that simple.

It doesn't matter if it's my eyes and brain, the computer working for me, or the eye of Sauron for that matter. Once the cat is out of the bag, any control you think you have over it is an illusion, propped up by laws that are easy to evade.

> by that definition it is enough to pass through an AI generated image in an upscaling program and it is now not just only the prompt. or open it in Photoshop and click once with a content-aware fill somewhere.

No, its not, becauase the statement at issue covers only what is (in the Registrar’s interpretation) definitely outside of copyright protection, it does not do much to clarify what it takes outside of that clear exclusion to qualify for protection. To assume any image where the human work is more thane exactly a text prompt is protected is as much reading too much into it as assuming all AI-generated images are completely excluded.
> The new Apple Vision Pro arguably has a better set of cameras, sensors and signal processing than a Tesla...

IIRC a number of cars, even Subaru, have better cameras than a Tesla. Really, the cameras Tesla included on the Model 3/Y are fairly mediocre off-the-shelf hardware from years ago. But they do have more of them pointed in different directions, so there's that.
I get there is a distribution, and there are also the other side of the spectrum. But I don't think it's unreasonable for an employer to question whether that is appropriate during normal working hours.

It's not unlike an employee who wants to work remote so they can manage a side-hustle. Maybe that side gig only takes a few moments of the day but I think most employers would have reservations about hiring someone who's trying to juggle multiple jobs. I think most people would agree there is a tipping point where your side hustle comes at the expense of contributing to your main gig.

The coworker interruptions may make you less productive personally, but the team more productive is it’s a work related interruption. Also, research seems to show that “small talk” interruptions contribute to overall performance. I don’t think that same tradeoff is apparent with home interruptions.

I think my position is that it's up to the employer/employee to manage that expectation and there probably should be hard expectations based on what seems to be a weakly formed agreement.

What does "Swearing allegiance" mean to you?

I'm a Canadian Citizen. I had to pledge my "loyalty and allegiance" to the Queen of Canada. Even though I'm a staunch republican (in the traditional sense not American - I'm anti-monarchy)

I don't base my decisions going through life on "But I pledged allegiance to the Queen, so I can/can't/should/shouldn't do that"

Citizenship is not an indication of ethics, or priorities, it's a practical requirement of being a human existing in society. To be able to live in a country without a constant nightmare of bureaucracy, you pretty much need to be a citizen. Snowden lives in Russia, not being it's citizen would be a constant headache.
Ahoy, matey. If you really must watch an old Disney movie the only ethical way to get one is to pirate it. Otherwise you would be supporting abusive copyright terms that prevent people to sharing something that has become part of their culture for generations. Having a few years of copyright is understandable since companies do need to be able to make money from their investments, but at most it should last one generation (20-30 years) making it 70 years is just obscene.
There are rumors floating around that macs are dropping support for discrete GPUs.
Many crypto coins haven't folded, they're just worth a lot less. Every investor wants to hype the company before an IPO, and many of they are likely looking to recoup some of that investment as soon as they can without too much adverse affect.

I don't think they're the same, but they share quite a few things in common. There's a lot about affecting the public perception, getting the public to act on that perception, and then executing at the most opportune time to take advantage of that public perception. Crypto takes this to 11 by minimizing the actual product and maximizing the impact of affecting public perception, but I can see how VC people could see the crypto cycle as an extension of what they already do.

I don't know how to easily quantify these things but your analysis ignores the other part of the transaction. The consumer of the photos (or ML generated text) benefits through the lower cost, easier access, increased project velocity, etc.

Market disruption due to technology/innovation/progress is nothing new. There have always been winners and losers but the aggregate wealth/value continues to climb. Devising ways to mitigate the loses seems like a more feasible approach than pretending that we can prevent these sorts of changes through regulation or legislation.

> There's a prefix-instruction-based something or other in Thumb, I think, but it doesn't devote part of the encoding space to predication bits like ARM32 does.

Yes, the IT (if-then) instruction (prefix). It is not supported by Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, and Cortex-M1, though. Those are the smallest T32 (Thumb-2) microcontroller designs ARM has.

IT can be followed by up to 4 instructions and encodes their predicate bits would have been in 32-bit ARM code (A32). There is not total freedom regarding their predicate bits: they all have to share the same ground condition (3 bits) and then get an individual bit that says whether to execute when that condition is met or when it isn't. The IT instruction is a 16-bit instruction that devotes 8 bits to this -- not 7, because the encoding is weird.
