>1. Whose role is it to make judgements about whether people should be able to find certain kinds of content?

Well for starters, there's the user. Once youtube decides you like a certain type of content that it wants to amplify, there is no "ok enough of this" button. You can't dismiss the categories it makes up for you.

And for enders, well your real question comes down to the question of if sufficiently effective psychological engineering contradicts, at least for some large fraction of people, personal agency. Suppose there was an adversarial patch we discovered that you could hide in a banner ad to make 15% of people read a completely different article than the one that is actually in front of them. That's may not be a highly efficient hack, but its more than the margins on nearly any election. How do we police these newly discovered neural-network hacks?

There's no question in my hypothetical on the matter of the victims personal agency in forming opinions and seeking information. I took care of that in the premise. They have no control, its a design flaw in the brain that is being exploited. But, where along the continuum of plausible technology does one draw the line between brains being hacked and people having agency in what they choose to see and believe?

I don't know either.
Shouldn't a sudden implosion be easily detected by hydroacoustic buoys? When submarine ARA San Juan collapsed underwater its sound was detected.

FreeBSD comes with a "periodic" script to do it daily, but it's not enabled by default.

There's this idea that macOS is "based on BSD", but that's not really the case in any meaningful way; it took some components, but the system overall isn't really "based on it" as such.
That tweet did not state that they picked up these sounds at a depth of 12,400 ft, it just states "underwater noises". Could be at 10ft below, could be much lower.

News media are always having a field day with shocking and dramatic events. Can add to those the lyrics from Marilyn Manson's, The Nobodies:

Well yes, and this enables making all the stuff that we have now like Google, YouTube or ChatGPT. If those things were developed with NASA approach to code quality, we might never have had them.
So, PayPal, with the exception of „whatever“, as subscriptions may increase in price or you decide to upgrade without wanting to adjust your payment method. Plus, you have excellent protection as a buyer on PayPal with the option to request refunds for basically every reason.
Well, used to be a Very Hard Problem. Now you can just test it: train a model on the textbook and ask it to solve many problem challenges that it hasn't seen before.

After you get a score for the model trained on the whole textbook, try removing each sentence in the book in turn. If removing that particular sentence decreased the test scores then keep it in, else throw it away.
You don't have an HR department you can discuss with? Just be fully transparent and present your own perspective, all of it.
If your HR is professional, they will help getting to the bottom if this. Their job ultimately is to optimize the workforce's output. If your manager is jeopardizing your own contribution to the company, he is not doing a good job and HR should make him see that.
One ideal outcome would be an open talk with HR, manager, the trash talker and yourself, in which you all clearly define your personal objectives (what do you want to realize / where in the company do you want to be); could even turn out that these can perfectly co-exist.
I totally agree.

But I also hate to add a password for each shitty website. I also don't want to connect an account via e.g. OIDC with any of my important accounts. I think there is a product or at least a new common mechanic somewhere in this mess.
You are a bit too harsh on the one-time pad.

What a one-time pad gives you is the ability to time-shift: You can meet in person now, exchange your one-time pad, and then securely communicate later. (And destroy the pad after you communicated.)
The problem is these platforms double as identity providers so your twitter hacked can give access to other websites - it’s crazy that this was ever a thing

Ubisoft's UPlay tries to get me to sign up for 2-factor every now and then. For some it might be a good idea, if they have a large library and maybe use their account on internet cafes and such.

But they have a "Skip" button which so far works just fine. And I'm very happy it's there. So regardless of other merits, at least Ubisoft did that right with UPlay.

>> The correct answer is "buy more books." Duh. The correct number of books to own is always n+x where n = the number of books you own today, and x = an integer > 0.

> Well, you might also want to buy another bookshelf at some point, but otherwise I don't see the flaw in the logic.

Simply move all the existing books along the shelf by one space. Then insert the new book in the new space. To add lots of new books, move all the existing books from space n to space n*2 and insert the new books in the new spaces.

I firmly believe that people can risk their lives in however manner they wish, but with a few caveats. If your paying customers are also risking their lives, they should have a clear picture (I'm not sure this was the case here.) Also, you should have insurance or some other way of paying for a possible rescue operation.
It's not on my desktop (not installable via my distro), not on my laptop (same), not on my router (same, and it's a completely different one!), not on my phone, not on any of the servers I interact with (and again, not installable!)...

Given it's harder to get than (as an example) Python (which is likely already on the system I'm interacting with), and powershell just straight breaks things (https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/1901), why would I ever use powershell?
Yeah, only a very low percentage of people will have a creditcard... 99% of dutch online payments will be made using IDeal, which is cheap (free for user, ~20-30ct for the seller) and instant. And works with every bank in the country (and some international ones like Revolut and N26)
It's more of a "I have found another analogy" than "the real lesson", but the point stands.
> 100% but the actual reading on a physical book is better, right?

YMMV but I don't see any difference at all.

If anything the form factor of the e-reader makes reading more comfortable. I'm not having to hold the book in a certain way to hold the pages open. It's always lighter, which is a big advantage for reading large books. It's also a bit smoother/faster because page turns are instantaneous and using the holding hand. And I can read under light rain without worrying about the book disintegrating.

The e-ink display is akin to paper for my eyes, and more comfortable to read at night with it's reddish backlight as opposed to a physical book with a nearby lamp.

On a side note, I do quite like the built-in dictionary/Wikipedia extract feature in Kindles. For some books (eg. Russian classics) it's quite useful. There's also a feature which based on a slider annotates individual words (slider dictates the complexity of words to annotate from some to many) in-line in the book, which I can see as being of enormous benefit to a new or young reader.

I do still enjoy going to physical book stores and browsing the covers, blurbs and first chapters. On the other hand, when I'm reading about a book online it's nice to be able to buy it and instantly start reading.
Many jobs are dangerous and regulated but killing customers is different. somehow it is the insurance companies that are the first line of defense when some conjures up a novel scheme.
He's right though, most people really don't care about 600 MB of RAM or whatever.
Was Copilot a largely riskless copycat effort because TabNine had previously proven the technology was feasible, TabNine had previously proven the business fit, and Copilot was backed by a gorilla of a company?

Technology-wise, I have a Deep TabNine beta invitation email dated August 2019 and Wikipedia tells me that Copilot announced June 2021.

Business-wise, Codata bought TabNine in December 2019.

Gorilla-wise, TabNine was initially one lone undergraduate at Waterloo.

2FA is about _proving_ you have something. For someone else to prove they have that same thing they have to physically steal it from you and possess it at the time of authentication.
Yes, you need to be investigating for your next job immediately!!!!

First of all software employment is contracting. Its a great time to be a junior or principle developer, but its hard finding a job right now as a senior. If you think you about to be squeezed out you are probably already too late and will be unemployed for a while before landing the next job.

Second, I went through the exact same thing less than 2 months ago. All the warning signs were there. Things like shitty junior developers talking trash, management on the sidelines, no internal automation, everything high risk. Just get out. Its just a job and clearly nobody knows what they are doing.

In my case I have a plan B. A back up career in management in an unrelated industry. Always have a back up plan. My back up plan doesn't pay as much and demands more of my time, but its so much more enjoyable. So much so it isn't even a comparison. Really puts the stupidity of the software employer who lacks vision on what software is in a completely different perspective.
This is good to see, a lot of moderators are power hungry, egotistical jerks.

I am glad these subreddits have been returned back to the community, perhaps the Reddit staff can moderate for now.
This is an important point. On the one hand real neurons are a heck of a lot more complex than a single weight in a neural network, so exactly mimicking a human brain is still well outside our capabilities, even assuming we knew enough to build an accurate simulation of one. On the other hand, there's no intrinsic reason why you would need to in order to get similar capabilities on a lot of areas: especially when you consider that neurons have a very 'noisy' operation environment, it's very possible that there's a huge overhead to the work they do to make up for it.
How did Flipkart convince Indians to buy online?
Not really, as we only use 10% of our brains. /s
No, you missed the point that the point was pointing to.

A paasword manager is also "your brain". A website can be happy with just a password.

For crying out loud, people don't need 2fa for a knitting forum!
Google will spin out YouTube, Maps, Chrome and Gmail into a separate company.

It will shut down Google Cloud.

All that will remain is Google search/ads.

The AI opportunity has already been fumbled and will soon be completely dropped.

And Sundar Pichai, who has destroyed everything except googles advertising cash firehose, will stay there and continue to run the empty shell of googles potential.

And like now, no-one will care.
> What's the difference?

The code of the web engine can be shared among several apps, instead of each of them having its own copy in RAM, making it less of an issue when having several of them.

If each of them don't abuse RAM usage of course.

Which is a big if of course.
Yeah, this is the main reason I haven't been to China in a while. It's quite nearby for me, but just too difficult. In principle, I would love to go to Chengdu or Shenzhen, but end up going to Singapore instead because I don't have the time to deal with the logistics.

On the other hand, I do glean some amusement that the region where cash was invented, no longer accepts cash.
My girlfriend just transferred into ASU after getting her associates degree. We did a massive review of all the data science curriculums we could find, in person and online.

ASU was a stand out and rolling online admissions meant she could start a year sooner than at a UC. I have a BA and MS in computer science and I have been very happy with what they are teaching her. From good CS progressions to math classes that primarily use Matlab.

They seem well tied into industry (defense) and teach practical skills.

My understanding is that they are still ramping up their online offerings. There isn't a CS specialization for data science online yet, for example. If they keep going in the same direction though, it will be amazing.
When we were implementing blockchain-based voting, we assumed that since people trust banking apps with their money, they should be able to trust a crypto wallet with their vote.

But the biggest security flaw, it turns out, is systemic, not individual: people simply don’t care about securing their one measly vote as much as they care about securing $100,000 in their bank.

So while people were motivated to secure large individual balances, they were not motivated to secure their votes.

Which is why we have to force people to confirm their votes on another device, so that Apple or Google couldn’t theoretically steal the election by lying to you about who you voted for, let alone some random website like stackoverflow (which people trust in their moderator elections etc.)

It turns out that this is also necessary for Web3 — the current state of security is dismal, the vast majority of people don’t actually check they are interfacing with the right contract or calling the right method or sending the right parameters before they hit “Submit” to sign the transaction. So even there, people have to be forced to double-check the details on another device, depending on the value of the transaction.

For more info see my article from 2020: https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2020/03/12/in-defense-of-block...
Discord is not working "perfectly fine" on desktop for many people. Usually, the browser version is faster, needs less resources, has fewer platform integration problems (mic/camera access etc.), and crashes less often. And has less critical security vulnerabilities, as a browser gets patched much faster than Electron in general, and Discord in particular (who tend to be on an older branch, due to some native C++ libraries, that as far as I can tell have no user-visible impact).

And VSCode has to be contrasted with Atom, which is the same but in so much worse: It takes a lot of effort to make Electron work well.
This is not accurate. Most large contributions up to at least 3.6 have come from individuals, many of whom left or went silent because they could not stand Python core or its development practices.

GvR has contributed very little while at Google.

Even with asyncio most contributions came a) from independent developers who fixed all the mistakes and then b) another non-FAANG developer who augmented it substantially.

FAANG provides power hungry politicians who go for every title and position of power in Python core and the PSF.

The Python speedup project is the first of its kind and so far is based on decades long independent work of Mark Shannon.

I doubt than any JIT expert at Microsoft would want to get involved with PSF politics (career risk), especially because F# and C# are better languages.

(The no-gil project of Sam Gross is the second of its kind, but is unlikely to go in because NIH politics.)
Okay, memory bandwidth certainly matters, but 19 tokens a second is not some fundamental lower limit on the speed of a language model and so this doesn't really explain why the limit would be 220b rather than say 440b or 800b?
Basically back to pre-COVID levels.

I had a similar thought. When I saw the monitors, I thought "How are they mounted to the hull? They wouldn't screw them into it...." well, it turns out they did.
What exactly is "it"? What is being discussed here? The size of the model? Who cares? People will make the same API call to get the results. Everyone is acting like a glorified AI expert now smh
You are probably not lazy enough ;). I even hate to generate a password for a site. Having to open an authenticator app is too much of a hassle to be worth it for many sites. And it doesn't really make sense if the second factor is available on the same device...
It's one thing if your favourite video host or chatbot crashes, quite another if it's a self-driven car, airplane control software or, in this case, a submarine.
Very interesting point. I wonder: are subjective experiences knowledge? Not scientific knowledge.

One one side they are part of who we are. On the other side, same as an airplane does not copy a bird 100%, it makes sense that to make a machine "think" we would feed it rational content. That is, content that follows the scientific method.
If Google or YouTube has an outage people don't instantly die. Likely no one will be harmed by a bug and it can be fixed and deployed. The same isn't true for a spacecraft or submersible.

Google doesn't need belt and suspenders development, human safety systems usually do.
Almost anything other than Ruby. Bad previous experiences with it have completely turned me off the entire ecosystem.

If it was "Ruby or Node.js" though, I'd just pick neither. ;)
I don't know how zones were implemented in Solaris, but since the article brings up docker, I feel the original zones implementation in Solaris is a still significnatly better user experience than docker or anything similar on Linux. The combined stack of zones + crossbow and zfs was just a pleasure to work with.
But do they help you learn?
Couldn’t Reddit just fix this by providing good mod tools before they make the api switch?
"A used poor man's anything is better than an unused rich man's anything"

-- Someome, somewhere, sometime.
Edit: Sorry, I completely messed up my original answer here. A better version:

Let's say we are in a setting where we only work with integers. A matrix is invertible iff its determinant is invertible in the underlying ring. The only invertible elements in Z are -1 and 1.

So, the code is also incorrect in the integer setting. Here, we should not check for 0, but for -1 or 1.
I think a lot boils down to motivation as well.

I was kind of lazy in my studies, and hated being teached several times the same things and most of the stuff we were doing was mostly theoric. Once I ended up in the workplace it felt to me my actual work had more value and I naturally put more energy to it and got more successes. And the same thing happen between different kind of companies. When I work for private companies whose products/services do not mean anything to me and where I feel the main goal is to satisfy shareholders, I have less motivation and energy than for instance when I was working for a public hospital. Some people don't care and their ultimate reward is the paycheck, some people want their work to have a meaning and a real value.
Brainfart, yes BitDefender!
But this argument doesn't hold up if you've bought uncountably infinitely many books!!
There is nothing to earn from non GPL license, maybe some small reputation and more stars on github, but that's all.
Contribution is minimal if any, and when then you have more work.
Dual license is better so others can't complain, they can't use your library because of GPL.
I believe at a certain depth some things compress, density increases, buoyancy becomes negative - and they sink.
This is the unfortunate truth about 2FA. While it significantly improves security, it is significantly less ergonomic than passwords (which are already sucky). It is also a problem when phones are, for whatever reason, not ideal for the work environment.
This seems like a weird criticism. The motivation for people to switch to LiveView usually doesn't have much to do with performance. Instead it's about removing a whole class of work around client-server interaction. It offers the ability to have a server-powered UI be dynamic without any custom JS, to easily push content from the server to the client when something is updated, stuff like that.
>I am glad these subreddits have been returned back to the community

The community voted on the changes. You can go look up the polls that were held for yourself.

>perhaps the Reddit staff can moderate for now

Lol. Not a viable business model for reddit. Their entire revenue is less than what facebook spends on just moderation.
Like the video [1] mentions, they were only improvising on things (including the controller) that would not pose a safety hazard if they failed. The critical components like the capsule were designed alongside NASA and others. People aren't just tossing safety to the wind, but trying to create a better balance. NASA does spend a extreme amount of money on compliance and safety - yet that doesn't prevent them from doing things like blowing up $600 million Mars probes because of a mismatch between Imperial and Metric units. [2]

Basically you cannot, no matter how much money you spend, prevent every possible mistake, or even every "obvious" mistake, because "obvious" is often only obvious in hindsight. And going too far on the side of risk avoidance leaves you frozen in time, unable to progress, even as you continue to make mistakes - which drives you even further into extremes of risk avoidance. Of course on the other end being completely cavalier about safety leaves you making mistakes you both can and should have foreseen.

So I suppose we'll just get to see which this was. If anything my prediction here would be that they started becoming so comfortable with these dives that they impacted the Titanic, going for that epic view, resulting in a cascade of system failures or even a breach, bearing in mind you're already going to be near critical pressure thresholds. Absolutely zero basis for my prediction, but I think it's much more probable than a controller failure. They had redundancies on the controllers, and could surface without them. But human hubris has no such constraints.

WebKit is five loosely related browser engines in a trench coat. A lot of the code is "platform" specific, and most of the optimization happens in that layer. Apple's Cocoa webkit is a lot more polished than WebkitGTK could ever hope to be with its meagre dev resources.
Adding some points: Radio waves (very high frequency) of GPS cannot go deep in the ocean. Very low frequency can, but their wavelenght is very big, so unsuitable for a GPS.
The only ways to "see" undersea are acoustic and magnetic.
