To note, there are fully automated elevators in department stores in other countries that will have an operator at some specific times. It's not just a security thing.

The mains issue with security guards is they're weird doing nothing. It can be an important aspect of the job to be there standing in the corner in uniform, but if as commercial place you want a more casual and peaceful atmosphere, having your security staff dress like employees and do something, anything will help a lot.

As another there's the cleaning staff in attraction parks, they walk around with a broom but are expected to do a lot more, inclusing spotting lost kids, problematic behavior etc.

> he spent time away from watching cameras to press the elevator button.

Aren't they _in_ the elevator ?

80k Hours – All the best advice we could find on how to get a job
I have high BP, I sort of see where OP is coming from... you need a lot of BP numbers to gain confidence about how bad the situation is. A one-off doctor visit once a year is not enough but it is often how the diagnosis is made.

My best recommendation for people is to get a BP cuff and just get comfortable with taking samplings periodically through the day. I take anywhere from 3 to 10 readings a day and over a month or two the data paints a good picture of your situation plus it makes you more comfortable with BP reads.
I wonder if the US and Canadian reliance on personal transport is ever going to be considered a failure or if we are just going to create another bandaid for our symptoms.
Aquaponics: Building a Small “Beautiful” System
The CSS viewport unit situation is so frustrating. First they introduced vw and vh, and those did the obvious thing: reflect the viewport. Then mobile WebKit/Safari broke vh for many use cases, because they couldn't make the obvious behavior perform at 60fps in combination with their UI choices (the actual problem always remained vague: "looks like shit but we can't show you"). Instead these units started ignoring any browser chrome that could change size. This makes them useless for any purpose where the actual size of the viewport matters. Other browsers followed because Safari was not going to change.

Now, years later, the obvious behavior is re-introduced in the form of dvh. vh and vw are no longer recommended because their behavior regarding changing UI is unspecified.

The idea of a static viewport unit is not bad. It's useful for things that don't actually care about the viewport size, but just want to be somewhat responsive (font size). I don't think I've ever seen a situation where lvh vs svh matters, because the web developer has no say in browser UI behavior.

It's just sad how many hours have been wasted working around a problem only introduced because Apple couldn't deal with a small temporary framerate drop.
I don't speak German, but I just tried a few at random in an online translator and der Trauer seems to be wrong.
It sounds like you're maybe not using virtual desktops, in which case I would strongly suggest giving that a try. Moving windows between desktops is faster than switching to/from fullscreen and in many circumstances you can have just one terminal window per virtual desktop windows makes it easy to command-tab to.

The other thing I tend to do is to keep the windows I'm actively using peeking out to click on to foreground which sidesteps the issue of command-tab foregrounding all windows.
That is about what I expected, honestly. Only the people who really care will migrate, just as with Mastodon. The vast majority don't care and will continue using Reddit.
The EU also has draft legislation: https://www.wsj.com/articles/ai-regulation-is-almost-here-in...

It’s really easy to accidentally get more concurrent meetings than meeting rooms (for any realistic number of meeting rooms) and then you’ve got to either not talk to each other or call into Zoom from desks. Most companies choose the latter.

Worse with distributed or partial remote companies where a lot of people need to be the only one in the building joining a particular call. At the limit you need as many phone booths as desks, which is just private offices with extra steps.
"It literally did not change. Not one bit."

How do you know?

Even if the base model didn't change, that doesn't mean they didn't fine tune it in some way over time. They also might be passing its answers through some other AI or using some other techniques to filter, censor, and/or modify the answers in some way before returning them to the user.

I don't know how anyone could confidently say what they're doing unless they work at OpenAI.
> It may even backfire by pushing model distribution onto a less regulated black market...

Attaching a note that this isn't really a "backfire", that would be the point. There is going to be a lot of value in this space, and if only Meta/Google/friends can comply with the regulation legally then they might be able to make a lot of money. The black market will be a bit of a release valve but hat they don't want is a nimble up-and-coming company that eats their lunch.
I think the OP is simply trying to say that a preprint cannot be "retracted".

On arxiv, it is possible to "retract" an article, in the sense that you ask that it's hidden or deleted etc. THat's not the same as retracting a published paper, where you usually get some justification, and a note from the editor explaining the decision to publish, and the decision to retract, and so on. More to the point, nobody cares if you "retract" a preprint, since it's expected that it may have errors not caught by peer-review, yet. No peer review means anyone can put anything they want online, and then take it back offline as they wish.

Note that arxiv also gives you an option to publish different versions of a paper. So you can leave your paper with errors as a v1 and upload your post-review paper, with corrections, as v2. Again, no "retraction" needed.
I was speaking from personal experience with past industrial projects commissioned with lcd/led displays - albeit admittedly not with the British government as a client. Thanks for those links, I will have to study them!

I figured the result was dictated by the specific dimensions and display density of hardware that matched the brightness/environment/size/etc requirements they set forth.

I know the care that goes into finding fonts for standardized government use (road signs, national parks, etc) but imagined this particular set of circumstances was confined to the displays commissioned in that particular round of updates and decided by the contractor and the liaison officials.
Procedural generation, not transformers—truly infinite!

Of course AI input would work well with this...
On a semi-related point, I am interested in what alternatives there might be to the apparent "infinite" (GDP) growth target as a national/global economy, and the (Western?) assumption that companies should constantly "grow" to be successful.

There are things like "Doughnut Economics", but IMHO that seems a bit too much the other way (almost communist-like), and I'm not really sure there's any practical chance of going in that direction anyway.
Well doctor, your staff prefers to take my blood pressure while talking to me and putting a thermometer in my mouth which I'm certain violates the protocol and the target numbers were lowered by a significant amount a few years ago to boot and most people would resent pharma companies even in the best of times, so may I just accept my miniscule stroke risk in peace please and maybe focus on the underlying issues?

I already have to piss all the time from the chlorthalidone which costs more than Netflix, though it was developed a half-century ago and is made by the ton. You missed the dehydration signal in my metabolic results and your renal imaging req came up clear but cost $2k.

Can you do anything to help me live because the medical industry is doing a lot to make not living look good, or not being a patient.
But these executables are quite huge, are they not?
Big established companies flat out take a long time to die even if they are run by complete morons. It takes something truly catastrophic to die quickly like "the entire company is fraudulent and they got caught" level bad.
We've been seeing something of a Cambrian explosion in AI that is driven by hardware. Legislation of "AI" will not be enough. There is a chance that the low key war against general purpose computing starts to ratchet up into a big deal.

> From the first century A.D. to the present the Church has cared about holding true to the Apostolic tradition

Oh. So then I guess either Matthew or Acts got it wrong about whose name should be invoked in baptizing: If Jesus really said to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, then the apostles apparently ignored his instructions — compare Matt. 28.19 with Acts 2.38, 8.16, 10.48, 19.5. [0]

On a tangentially-related subject: Peter, preaching at Pentecost, seems to have flagrantly misrepresented his scriptural source. [1]

While we're at it: The Apostles all indisputably thought that Jesus would be returning Real Soon Now — and that just didn't happen. [2]

Zooming in on one fact is exactly what they did, because that one fact is from the section of the report specifically talking about revinning vehicles.

There's no other stats (from skimming through the report) on arrest numbers, however it does note that the stolen car recovery rate in 2022 is about 50 percent (down from like 80 to 90 in 2015).

No relative numbers are given on the rates of cars being exported vs chopped for parts. No relative numbers of the three main methods of exporting (exporting vehicles that have been financed through stolen identities, revinning, and plain old stuff them into a container) are provided.
yes, and the moderation problems will start July 1st. 26k is nothing, for sure, to Reddit. But every movement starts small. For now, Reddit doesn't have to worry and Lemmy can up their game.

Also, what about kbin numbers? How many have stopped using Reddit, but didn't switch networks?

This one number doesn't mean much since Lemmy isn't Reddit's only problem.
So are you the one who is flagging every single comment I make? This is not cool.
> I actually really don’t think the training requirements are very draconian. 40 hours, a few maneuvers, some knowledge about some stuff. Less than driving in some states.

I am in the process of obtaining my private pilots license as well, the goal of eventually getting my IR and CFI. The logging of 40 hours basic competency is the least troubling part. I was referring to getting a medical certificate to be clear to fly.

High blood pressure? Potential heart problems? Sleep apnea? I guess that’s okay, just makes sure you are taking 2-3 medications we are okay with and use a cpap. Ever filled an Adderall script? You are a danger to the skies and you would only be destined to fly a plane into the ground - no fly, no go. The FAA only just started the process of getting Wellbutrin approved, which has been a side-effect free, well-tolerated medication for a number of years.

The 1500 hours before you can fly for a commercial airline is sort of strange[0], considering the event the caused that regulation wouldn’t have prevented the pilot involved from flying[1], and I’m sure I would have a stronger opinion on that if getting my ATP was a goal.

I was interested in building experimental aircraft, playing with different propulsion systems. I am not sure I am anymore given the landscape in which one must operate in.

I suspect it's more that bounds checking actually helps performance in many circumstances in that it can improve branch prediction. Not always, but sometimes.
It's not nothing, it's 27k. There's a point at which a social network has enough content to be usable. Reddit (to me) hasn't significantly increased in value since I started using it 15 years ago. People post the same links. Some of the conversations are a little better. The spam and reposting is a lot worse.

I'm using C# and Java professionally. I've been using for a long time while I'm newish on C#. Also I'm on a older version of .net vs. a modern Java. Honestly to me the language doesn't feel that great. It always feels sluggish, to work with, like I'm fighting against the language. And then there is the ecosystem, Spring Boot is just such a breeze to get a web app running with all the integrations you could ever want being just there. Add in Lombok and Apache commons and it's a real pleasure to develop in Java for me.
> I think this shows that Zig isn't a slow language despite its relative youth

Which shouldn't surprise anyone since the heavy lifting is done by LLVM and zig doesn't attempt to add too much semantics on top of it. (For the same reason I don't think benchmarking unsafe Rust makes much sense either)
You know how the Romans made extraordinary concrete but then got conquered and everyone forgot how to make it and it took thousands of years to rebuild the supply chain and even then concrete was less durable.

Well, let me tell you a story about Macromedia Flash. ;)
Twitter was profitable in 2019, but then the VCs force-fed it some more "funding" so that it could "grow".

Reddit has suffered the same sick fate.

It's not enough to be a Fortune 500 company, you have to shoot for #1 on the stock market or die trying. I guess it's more fun to be a billionaire on paper for a while than to have to run a legitimate company.

Data centers benefit from economies of scale and thus centralization. Office spaces benefit marginally if we are being generous. Most office jobs wouldn't be improved in productivity if they spent time interacting directly with orders of magnitude more people.

I did buy the separate $20 sp02 / pulse monitor after that episode. She has an apple watch now but I of course have zero confidence / will not trust the kindness of corporate strangers again to allow me access to my own hardware.
As with Twitter, I suspect, most people won't 'migrate to a Reddit replacement' - they'll just use Reddit less.

They'll open it and find the app they have doesn't work, maybe install the official one but find it's different from their experience before, and just use it less.

Instead they'll go to other places - the ones they were already going to before - more, Discord, YouTube, TikTok, etc. Hacker News for programmers, etc.
The “what’s coming next” part depends on the premise “EVs being near useless outside of city centers” being true. It’s not.
Reddit CEO says company is 'not negotiating' on 3rd-party app charges
How is it silly?

PS:T is a cRPGs not a visual novel. There is an actual game you have to play around the dialogues and this game is not particularly complex, engaging or even that fun as demonstrated by the rest of my comment lamenting the part of the game after Raven’s maze which is notorious for having lots of boring combats and less dialogue than the rest of the game.

People excuse the mechanics both because the plot was original and because they have forgotten as this part of the game is unremarkable. It still make for a less than stellar experience when you play it today.
As with anything, there's always a third party app to fix what the trillion dollar companies can't.
Maybe these research fraud sleuths' very limited capacity to investigate was drawn disproportionately to papers about dishonesty (because that is their interest)?

So the prevalence of fraud could be similar to that in many other fields?
To paraphrase Matt Levine: the fact that you lost a billion dollars means someone else trusted you with a billion dollars, and that’s reason enough for financiers to trust you with yet another billion, thinking surely you’ll get it right this time.
Hot take: these are the kind of issues you'd expect if there is a significant amount of capital accumulation. There's always going to be dumb money doing things that make the news. How many failed railroads were made during the industrial revolution? How much money was squandered on tulip bulbs?

Intelligent investments take more time to culminate than unintelligent ones take to fail, so things would look pretty bad in any savings rich economy.
I had a feeling last week that this was the only plausible outcome. Reddit would have to be incompetent to not assess volunteer moderation as a potential risk with treatment.

The worst possible outcome for Reddit was they start paying people to moderate their largest, most visible subreddits. That’s maybe a dozen or two mods (a few years back 5 mods ran a large percentage of the top subs).

The volunteer mods like to act like they’re mission critical and irreplaceable. Reddit is quickly showing most of them that’s not true. Even arguments like “Facebook spends $500m annually on moderation fall flat”. Reddit can continue to rely on volunteers until subs gain critical mass. Even then, the moderation problem seems far easier on Reddit.

It’s really looking like Reddit is going to get through this while ridding itself of 3PA (rip) and non-compliant mods.
This bring me memories of when Google Reader closed. The existing back then alternatives got hammered badly by the relatively sudden massive influx of new users.

Still the numbers are low, and what users will find is something different from what they used to, but I think the more diverse landscape will push a change in how people use internet to connect each other and to content, beyond reddit/lemmy/etc kind of usage.
I stopped using Google for most searches for a long while now. I suggest you do the same. It's not like they're going to make user centric changes now, just wallet centric ones.
It's a criticism of methodology. It doesn't need a null hypothesis.

But, you know, I'll try that as a rebuttal the next time a reviewer rejects my papers. "Reviewer #2 has not rejected the null hypothesis" :P
Not that it matters, but it confused me: note that this blog is called "GoPenAI," and despite its domain having a one character difference from "openai," does not appear to be affiliated with OpenAI.

Smallfoot movie review and film summary (2018)
I'm just rereading A World Undone https://www.amazon.com/World-Undone-G-J-Meyer-ebook/dp/B000P...

and I'm struck by the similarities between ITER and World War I at the end of 1914.

Back then, the losses had been so mind-boggling that no one was willing to make peace without "getting something." Just saying, "You know what? This was all a mistake. Let's just stop!" was never a winning argument.

So the money keeps getting poured down the ITER drain.
Why the hell is the machine asking us for a tip? We're the ones doing the work.

This is why Universal Income makes sense. There can be no cheating if everyone is eligible.

To put things in perspective, the various federal and state welfare agencies in Australia employ something like 200K bureaucrats to allocate and monitor welfare handouts.

If they were all made redundant, the money saved would add a significant amount to the available welfare budget.

I worked as a consultant at several of these agencies and I can assure you that most of the jobs there were bullshit.

One coworker described these places as “daycare for adults”.
>you can't test that they work.

Sure you can: one needn't test the full exact as-will-be deployed assembly to have confidence a system will work. Systems can be tested in parts or with surrogates.

Will the exact system in the exact conditions have been tried? No - but that's not really the goal; the goal of testing is only ever achieving an adequate[0] confidence of success in actual use.

Eh, China will be fine with our laws for AI for internal usage, they don't want internal destabilization either. If your AI happens to become bothersome to Xi or drop out too many Pooh flavored meme's then expect China to frown on it.

You seem to assume from your interlocutors here hostility and hate towards the homeless. Me, I simply wish there was better housing policies and better mental-health care available to the US population, such as is found in plenty of other developed countries.
