Huh? Edge, as you say, is based on Chrome. It has an extensions store where you can get uBlock. You can also get normal Chrome extensions if you want from the Chrome web store.
> Many Romans revered parts of Greek culture (for a long time Greek was the language of scholars and the elite, which is pretty funny considering that Latin later fulfilled that same role hundreds of years later).

(Koine) Greek was not particularly "the language of scholars", but mostly the lingua franca of the eastern Mediterranean; Latin was of the western Med. Though the many (and earliest) scholars in that part of town were the Greeks, so it's no surprise that a lot of stuff was written in it.

Even when they ruled Jerusalem, the Romans probably spoke Greek with the locals. Because of previous empires, Mesopotamia had several over time (including Aramaic):

This is why I was flabbergasted by the nonsense internet takeover of HTTPS. You can't cache it. Probably 99% of web traffic is generic public content, but we can't cache any of it, because 1% of it needs to be private.

So then people complain "oh but The Illuminati can see what websites I'm going to!" Yeah, and they still can with HTTPS, it's called statistical network traffic analysis. Decades of research papers show you can uniquely identify a client going to a random internet server (and the page they're browsing) just by sniffing a bunch of POPs. It's used by law enforcement and Five Eyes to identify internet users around the world. Even protocols that have countermeasures (TOR) don't stand up to it.
producing sentence wasn't what i referring to. Producing meaningful sentence was.

Dogs have behavior, which hints at them understanding some concepts (threat, food, etc).

LLVM neural nets can only express sentences, but that's not the interesting part.
The unit of analysis is firms, not individuals.

My interest, at the halfway point through The Famous Article, is whether the relative sizes of the firms (in employees) fit in there somewhere.

Money is used as a sort of analytic "low common denominator" in all of this work, but that seems a narrow window for viewing life in general.
> I've been helping a friend to create a combination of Netflix and DVDs. We package the movie licenses into NFTs (MovieKeys) so when the user signs in with their wallet they can stream all the movies in they own.

How do you plan to deal with piracy? I can't see many rights-holders going for a system which doesn't allow them to revoke keys.
Reading this makes me realize how incredibly lucky I was to grow up in the eight bit days. When we got our first family computer, a ZX Spectrum, one of the first things I learned is that it was 100% impossible to break the thing just by pressing keys on the keyboard. Just unplug, restart, and the whole tiny system is loaded from ROM. That gave me the freedom to explore fearlessly what the system could do, and what I could do to it.

Edit: I'm sure by now somebody has found a way to thrash the system so hard that it somehow causes irreversible hardware damage just by running software; but I guess that would have to be the result of considerable, purposeful effort from somebody who knew exactly what they were doing.
The internet is a lot like our planet. Humans are actively working to destroy it for their own short term gains. The only way to defend against that kind of behaviour requires energy, time, and inevitably the abstraction that represents those things - money.

Damn Europeans and their US wars! This line made my day.
You make it sound so simple. Why don't we let an AI try to come up with all of CS on its own? I doubt it would/could.
China has been a unified empire before Europeans traded seashells with each other (I'm exaggerating here a bit). It is about 10 times older than the United States or Russia in its current post-mongolian iteration.

China being weak was unusual in the history of civilizations.

While I am firmly in the western camp, not recognizing reality is foolish.
I've been writing 3D graphics software since '84, and a few years ago when I started formally learning machine learning I found it had so many parallels with 3D graphics, the transition was quite a bit easier than I expected.
This sounds far too similar to an unfortunate pattern I’ve sometimes practiced: taking on the pretense of responsibility instead of an actual responsibility.

Bearing the collective guilt of all mankind is not a noble burden to bear because it is totally detached from taking actions that care for others. It seems more likely to motivate people to self-flagellate, stay in bed depressed by the fact that all of their actions will still result in a hugely negative outcome, or spend lots of time commenting on the internet. The results are as productive and caring as someone playing Call of Duty.

Seems more effective to pick something very specific to strive for like the joy of knowing that some specific group of users from Senegal can provide for their families and to strive towards that.
I didn't downvote you if that's what you mean. Sorry if my post seemed rude, but I think the other side of the coin is that it can be a little grating to talk about yourself without requesting help or indicating that you're not already getting it and be offered extremely obvious advice, so I think your post just rubbed me wrong a little.
Had a skim. The "An asset manager’s conclusion" section is very interesting. If you are the HFT, you may not be selling to idiots.

This makes me even more disinterested.

I’m more of a “robots will replace us all” than a “labor will finally organize to wield power over management.”

So while I feel empathy for Taco Bell employees striking for higher pay, as I would like them to live better lives, I consider it moot because soon there will just be burrito machines.

> Heck, glibc by default still allows LD_PRELOAD pretty much everywhere, and most distros have available SUID binaries you can hijack, so it's useless sandboxing anyways.

Common misconception, but no, glibc doesn't allow LD_PRELOAD on suid binaries.

Root is the one thing that's well-protected on linux, you cannot get root without the aid of a user giving it to you. Similarly, separation between users is also rather secure, but no desktop user is going to run each application under their own user.

> extract rent like no other .. The licensing costs on such an outdated piece of technology are obscene.

They're in "good" company. Do you think its less obscene to pay the horrendous license costs to companies like Oracle or SAP?

Anyway, I'm talking about the technology, which btw. has established open source alternatives. I once had an argument with the main person in charge of hospital IT, and he made it clear that he didn't want to risk his good sleep by using technology from non-mainstream suppliers, no matter what the cost. As long as we allow such people to value their personal sleep quality over the cost to the health care system, we need not complain about the consequences.

I understand how someone can be disinterested in a topic, but interested in the meta topic of how so many people can be interested.

Agreed, it just comes off as really odd. They don't want random stuff, but now they all of a sudden have two random wallets that they are grateful to have. While they "luckily" have a blog where they can thank the random stranger they sent their old leather to, who happened to take their time to handcraft them new objects out of it. It just seems too coincidental, and I don't believe that would ever happen to someone without advertising potential.

Same problem with Chrome

In my eyes edge is mostly equivalent to chrome. Edge has native vertical tabs and slightly better Windows-integration, Chrome slightly better Google-integration. Both are under the control of both your employer and a tech giant with questionable ethics. And both tech giants use their respective platforms to aggressively promote their browser.

I guess we could agree that you should use neither.
Another great example is Akira.

I think alignment just means "what is good".

(If we define aligned as moral, it's easy to disprove that humans are aligned by default.)

Humans haven't quite solved morality, so I'm not sure how we intend to teach it.

A superhuman intelligence will require superhuman morality. Perhaps if we can create one, we can create the other? But it's not a given by any means.

>In both cases it's the same set of CPU instructions

It's actually a very different set of CPU instructions. the function EatADonut is the same set, but "async" means the kernel needs to take time out of its execution to do some action as small as accessing an open thread, or as large as "gain access into a completely different piece of hardware" before putting that set of instructions onto that different thread. Not the program, the actual scheduling process between your program and the OS you are executing on. Then it needs a way to to get that result and sync it back onto whatever thread spawned it and access the result.

It is in fact a huge action, so marking it with Async is basically a very explicit warning.

>Which is cognitively expensive for no added benefit.

On the contrary, I can't even begin to imagine the amount of compiler optimizations it saves on as well to have that be explicit in code. I'm sure Go has to do all that on the fly while a colored language gets to allocate all those potential processes before the program runs. It's only no added benefit if you dont care about performance. But to be frank, you probably don't need more than a single thread if your problem isn't bounded by perormance. Parallel programming is all about getting something done faster after all.

There is genuinely a difference.

If Reddit slightly disprefers Musk over preferring him, the entirety of the top of the comments will be anti-Musk. (And depending on sub, it's more than slightly.) Comparatively, tweets are more selectively filtered.

The fixed sorting of Reddit comments gives much less chance to come across comments you'll like if you're in a minority opinion.

Hah. I'm not surprised that NewStatesman would be trying to rehabilitate the founder of philosophical conservatism. There was a time that would have been seen as crazy talk, but that time is long past.
I'd add a few more:

- "Lost in space": Give your new hire a tour of the relevant facilities. Toilets, kitchen, canteen, bicycle garage, important offices (boss, secretary/team assistance, IT helpdesk, ...), etc. Same for online resources and intranet, have a proper entry page that lists everything relevant and has a proper search function (which seems to be exceedingly hard...).

- "Your chair is still on order": Have things ready on day 1. Nothing is worse than waiting on necessary accounts, hardware or people for the onboarding. If you cannot have things ready, at least have the decency to not have your new hire sit around twiddling thumbs, find something interesting and productive to do for them, e.g. learning new things.

- "Talk to the wee lass with the fangs, horns and the striped hair": Introduce people, introduce their roles and places in hierarchy. Even if things like "chain of command" are usually fuzzy at your place, at least for the first few weeks, make it easy for the new hire to fit into a simplified "command structure". Don't send a new hire to see somebody, always accompany them and make introductions.

- "Nobody likes the noob": Always make a point to include a new hire in the usual social activities. For example, go to lunch as a group (even if you usually don't) to get everyone together with the new one in a less formal setting.
Both are small minorities if you’re talking about definitions of labels that apply to all 8 billion people on the planet. If Icelanders’ self-identified as Asian and people were coming up with new terms when they needed to refer specifically to “asians from the continent of Asia” that would be a parallel example.

How much do you want to bet that

1) There's a 4-5% mistake rate

2) getting a wrong conclusion of the AI turned back is a 2-year kafkaieske nightmare where you have to front all the money, and even after they admit they're wrong it takes 5 years to get your money back. And then next year you get another tax bill for the nonexistent pool and we start from scratch?
"When bad men combine" - always worth noting he was referring to guilds, trade unions, and any association intended to bring about political change.

Michael Levin's ideas are truly mind-blowing!
>The rich already pay a disproportionately large amount of taxes

How do people come up with these ideas?

Related to their income and overall wealth they pay disproportionate embarassingly little.

The "disrpoportionate" also includes well paid employees in the top 10%, but not the real 0.1% "owning" class. And above a few million worth, the actual money earned per year is usually obscured by all kinds of schemes, of which only the salary and capital gains tax ends up taxed (if that).

And that's without even considering the millions (pun intended) of ways they have to avoid being taxed but still have access to their money, from estates and "charity" foundations they control, to offshores, passing spending as expenses to their companies, special tax cuts, the ease of moving abroad for "tax reasons" at will (no biggie if you have the power to be accepted whether you go, the ability to pay the set amounts to acquire a foreign passport/nationality, to move with trivial for you costs, and so on), and of course access to teams of much better accountants...

This is one of the factors that keeps me away from trying Android phones. I don’t trust Google for anything other than search. And even that has become somewhat questionable over the years. I do trust Apple. Even though I own a couple of them, I don’t care for their computers. As far as phones though, I will not consider anything other than iPhone.
You make good points.

> Why don't you need replication?
We do not need replication right now because our user base is low, but I don't see how an hierarchical file structure would prevent us from doing it.

> what value does the directory structure add over just hashing the file, storing the file by it's hash in the same directory with all the other files, and then referencing the hash in your SQL?
This would remove the need for validating the hierarchical filestructure. However, having one makes it easier to simply navigate the filesystem with pre-existing tools (find, grep, or bash scripts), to help debug issues, find certain projects, etc. Using your solution would abstract the filesystem, and it would become a blackbox to us without the database's aid. This would also make it harder to spot certain problems - e.g., is an image being referenced in a project it doesn't belong to? It also doesn't help me validate max file sizes per type of file, nor does it help me check if all paths in the database actually exist in the filesystem.

Having the filenames be its hash is an interesting solution to assure integrity, though.
why do you think the rich pay a "disproportionately" large amount of taxes
My father said: We're not rich enough to by cheap things.

I wonder if the original saying has been translated multiple times before getting to English.
An interesting read. The basic premise of juxtaposing an explicit religion with finance seems to be that the latter is an implicit religion.

Like the discount rate itself, this seems am arbitrary rhetorical choice.

I agree, at a very high level of abstraction, insofar as both a community of faith and finance are about rendering the future "somewhat predictable", though, in that sense, the future resembles the weather.
Logically the people who want to "opt out" (as opposed to those who have already opted out) will be on places like twitter.
There's still something I can't wrap my head around. Over 6 months ago, Element laid off the entire Matrix trust & safety team, citing budget and funding concerns (and kinda throwing them under the bus at the same time, but that's a separate matter). And this seems to imply that a similarly sized team has been kept on payroll at the same time to work on a Matrix-powered metaverse experiment (Third Room).

Given the blog post mentions that Matrix and Element are still suffering from lack of funding, it would mean that Element and the Matrix.org Foundation are considering that niche experiment as way more mission-critical for Matrix than moderation/trust & safety. Which feels absolutely insane to me. And it definitely does not make me confident in the fact that, should I decide to provide financial support to the foundation and/or Element, they would spend this money wisely in a way that improves Matrix as a whole rather than trying to make a niche point (that metaverse/AR use cases are possible on Matrix).

I love Matrix, and have been for years, but this does not make me feel confident in the future of the project.
Onto another proprietary site? Nice!
Yes. Some of my friends loved it, but I couldn't get past the fact it was literally the same story.

I mean, an orphan who becomes a Jedi, a droid who brings important information and then battles against the Empire who has a deathstar.

Where did I see that before? It wasn't even trying to be original in any way whatsoever. That said, it did a good job of capturing the star wars feel... Which is possibly not surprising.

This is a trend I’ve noticed lately. An article attempting to make a sweeping generalization about the nature of LLM’s/diffusion deliberately cherry picks only examples which support their argument. They will include chatGPT but using 3.5 turbo instead of 4. Commenters then realize that most/all such “evidence” is working just fine in GPT-4.

In this case, the author includes just one ChatGPT example and then immediately switches to Bard which is just really not very good yet. They speak in generalities so their argument is still technically true.

Really frustrating. It’s clearly someone looking to confirm their pre-existing notions. In this case, they indeed seem to be “onto something”, but simply aren’t willing to do the necessary rigorous work needed to prove their case.

Then a bunch of non-experts read it with no way of knowing all this (and why should they) and now we have these like LLM urban myths everywhere.
The comment that I replied to praised them for not playing semantics and word games. I agree that terminology is important. So it sounds like you're disagreeing with the OP and should mention it to them.
