Though unlike with TNG, I wouldn't recommend outright skipping the first two seasons either. I actually enjoyed the early seasons of DS9 quite a bit on my recent rewatch of it. It's slow, but it's building to something. There's a lot of character development, and developing the setting as well(Bajoran politics, etc). I think jumping straight into season 3 would be very confusing and fall quite flat as a result of not having become familiar with the characters.

> why does the app give me a total number of cards to do? why not always present the card I'm most likely to forget and leave me to decide when to stop?

You aren’t under any obligation to continue learning until you’re done with all cards. The number of cards to learn is customizable.

> why is it so hard to understand the concept of a note vs a card?

It’s not that hard, but I guess it makes the learning curve a bit harder. Why it’s done this way? I guess to provide more flexibility. Is flexibility lacking in modern apps? Yes, absolutely. So in that sense this is indeed a dated feature.

> why does the app cost $25 on iOS?

Why is it “dated”? Also - why not? You’re free to use free desktop and web versions. Paying for ios app is a way to support the developer.

> why can't I execute JavaScript

Dunno about this one. What’s your use case? Can’t theg plugins cover it?
In the interpreter, yes, not the kernel that enforces a reasonable stack limit.

> I've never had a test come later. 15 minute interview call to make sure the high level details are correct (pay, location, physical office vs. Remote, etc), and then I am sent an interview test.

Depends on the company. My personal experience has luckily been (so far) that more companies I've interviewed with who do take-homes at all have given them later on in the process.

I suspect with the current job market situation given all the recent layoffs that things will probably start to shift for those companies that do take-homes, where they'll probably start giving them to candidates at the beginning of the interview process, as they'll probably see it as an easy filter for themselves. Ugh.

Open AI: Imagine if the best AI models were open and free
We can ask it complex questions and see how the neurons activate similar to an MRI. I bet someone in OpenAI is doing it right now.
And those new edge cases would be much less important and more obscure.

Adobe demoed a similar project as far back as 2016 called "Project Voco" [1] which was also called "too dangerous to release" at the time, even though it apparently still needed as much as 20 minutes of source material (vs. allegedly a mere 2 seconds here).

It was never heard from again afaik - even though Adobe is not known to shy away from an opportunity to increase revenue, so one cannot help but wonder...

I skip Season 1 when I do rewatches. As with all Star Trek series, the first season or two can be dull. Season 1 of TNG was terrible.

We could release it, but then we'd have to kill you.
Can someone explain why git is insufficient and how got tries to improve upon it?
Because cost of entry is proportional to size of market. A narrow niche has a small market by definition, and a car has a large cost of entry, so cars with small niches are rare.
Interesting, thanks :-)
They said the same thing about GPT-3. It's a marketing push.

Oh no, our incredible scientists made a thing that's simply too amazing and they're afraid it might take over the world! We just thought you might like to know how nice and ethical we're being with our immense power...
> a villain needs a face and a voice, otherwise it's just a force of nature

I agree with the parent. A force of nature is not a bad way to present the Borg.
Well they’re good at copying, so they’re doing exactly that with the OpenAI marketing strategy
> In NYC, jaywalking is normal

Bingo. If one hasn't spent serious time in at least 4+ states, I don't think they ever really get an idea of how differentiated American cultural norms really are. "Americans are ______" is about as descriptive a statement as "Left-handed people are _____" - there's just toooo much variance for it to be a useful observation.
I seem to recall long ago there was an exploitable bug due to excessive stack use.

Basically the way a kernel detects stack growth is via a guard page that causes a fault on memory access. If the allocation is bigger than the offset to the guard page, and the start of the allocation is accessed before the end, you get this. An attacker might even be able to generate a non-faulting memory access pointing at somebody else's buffer.

I think it's on the language implementation to understand what that offset might be and generate benign memory access on large stack allocations, allowing the kernel to fault and intervene. Consider it part of the ABI where you're running.
just an FYI (going out on a limb) but nobody knows what this even means "Does this mean that if police are code 2 en route to a crime 10 miles away they can use the park to save time? What if they are code 3?"

if you could either explain the lingo or dial it down, that would be great for the rest of us to understand your argument
You can't fix the law.

At least this idea can help normalize public opinion to: it would better for us, the public, if we could record our interactions. Big brother is already doing it LEGALLY for quality purposes.
That doesn't address the problem with the concept.
Blindsight is lit! Great novel.
It's fascinating how they managed to reclaim so much die area by dropping the cache and optimising for low (~3GHz) frequency.
We design these so people with relevant experience can bang them out in about two hours. They're not trick challenges, though, they're very straightforward. Getting people to believe they should only spend two hours on them is the challenge.

Give this a try. You can run it locally if you have a good enough GPU. It is pretty slow at generation tho

Atrocious tweet.
I think seeing them as caricatures is itself antisemitic. There really are no similarities I see between the Ferengi and Jewish people.

In TNG they might be one dimensional like Jar Jar, but I think the Ferengi get a lot of nuanced characters in DS9 that blow Jar Jar Binks out of the water in depth. Rom's evolution is particularly great.
It's demo wasn't very good compared with other state of the art tools available these days. You could hear so many glitches in audio.

Also OpenAI said the exact same thing about GPT but still released it. Meta's tool isn't worth hyping like that, not in its current state.
I disagree. E-graphs as a data structure are used to represent an exponential combination of terms in a manageable (ie polynomial) structure. Thus, it is interesting to know what the limits of that "compression" are - what we can do in the polynomial representation and when we have to fall back to an exponential (or make compromises).
Definitely. It was okay for a couple of years but it’s not how I want to spend the rest of my career.
Yes. I think TNG is overall a better, comfortable show, but DS9 is more of a "space-opera" (akin to Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica), with a few one-offs episodes. Ronald Moore wrote both BS:G and DS9, so you see very similar styles between the two.
The Reflect.defineMetadata API and the long-supported decorators syntax come from very early versions of Typescript when Typescript was (maybe) more actively trying to steer the direction of ECMAScript by implementing features that were Stage 2 proposals.

Typescript only got official ECMAScript decorator support in the recent v5. ECMAScript decorators only got to stage 3 in April ‘22.

But decorator syntax is just a kind of syntax sugar over passing a function through another function, and you can do that today to achieve runtime type information (see zod etc). Zod could be rewritten using decorator syntax and still be “just JavaScript” while providing compile-time type support.

The distinction being that supporting ECMAScript features is a goal for Typescript, but they were perhaps too aggressive early on in investing in decorators and the Reflect Metadata API. They had the wisdom to put these behind “experimental” flags, but I think they got quite popular within the typescript community due to the early adoption of both Typescript and both those features by Angular, which was really the only major lib using TS for quite some time.
Russia never emerged from feudalism. It played at communism and it is now playing as a federation, but it remains essentially a feudalist political environment. I mean, sending Chechens to Rostov to put down a mutiny -- any old sultan would relate.

Russia's prestige has been fatally damaged. This is not a world leading nation, Global South has likely noted. But it is worrying that this turn of events increases the likelihood of runway escalations on various fronts.

I do, from an outside perspective, see how ridiculous it sounds for me to conflate all those things. But Munich severely unsettled me and left me so distraught and angry that, as a whole, this minor incident which I'd previously forgotten only serves to reinforce my overall view. Taken together, it makes perfect sense.

There is being rational, using principles to interpret a statement.

And then there is being rational to the extent that you are in complete denial about that the fact that your rational faculty is located within a spongy organ in the cranial cavity of an ambulatory meat bag.

There doesn't need to be an objective measure for you to take a position on the intent and meaning of a linguistic construct such as a rule. It is just a thing that bipedal meatbags do.

If one meatbag has a different view than another meatbag then they are in a political conflict. There are ways of resolving the conflict which range from friendly chat, through formal debate, right the way to genocide. Generally speaking, well adjusted members of civilised society can resolve things through the former. Sometimes we go fucking bananas and end up at the latter.

Not sure why so many find it so difficult to grasp, or feel the need to apologize that they are mortal, they can't derive the answer from a set of universally agreed-upon axioms and carve it in to a stone tablet like some old-testament god ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Once you look past the stereotype, the other cultures allow a new perspective on us, that is, the perfect humans in Star Trek. A rather poignant moment in this respect is the Episode in DS9, when the humans encounter the “dominion” with whom they will start a war a 2 years later. Quark gives this little speech to Sisko, arguably the moral center of DS9, who’s been kind of looking down on Quark the whole episode:

“The way I see it, hew-mons used to be a lot like Ferengi: greedy, acquisitive, interested only in profit. We're a constant reminder of a part of your past you'd like to forget. But you're overlooking something: Hew-mons used to be a lot worse than the Ferengi. Slavery. Concentration camps. Interstellar wars. We have nothing in our past that approaches that kind of barbarism. You see? We're nothing like you. We're better.”
The goal of that kind of project in a huge tech org is to have capability in-house. So that they can play that game if they have to. Seems like they don't see themselves in a situation where their position without the tech would be worse than with the tech deployed. In some ways it's a bit like defense spending in a way, the most successful defensive army is the one strong enough to never get tested (in many other ways it's not)
I think we never really left that point.

We really need a few new protocols:

Encourage the use of something like an AI.txt in git repos that either gives model builders permission to use the repo contents as training data, or not.

Model builders need to take reasonable care to avoid incorrectly using training data that they don’t have the rights to use.

I have been using GitHub CoPilot since the beginning, I love it both with Emacs and VSCode, and I would allow my zillions of GitHub repos to be used as training data.

I have published all of my recent books under a Creative Commons License, and I encourage reuse when allowed in derivative works. That said, I don’t think it is possible to get permission from the zillions of web, books, and articles authors to allow their writing to be used for model training - but, LLMs provide so much possible value to society so I think we need lenient copyright and reuse laws.

I am skeptical of a few tech companies controlling AI, but my recent experiences using open models have been promising. (I have been running Vicunu 33B for research for my new book Safe For Humans AI). I see a bright future for Open Source (I choose Apache 2 and GPL licenses, but everyone gets to use what they want for their own stuff) and increasingly powerful Open LLMs.
I believe everyone can understand this - and they will need to releases it to public. Surely, they may have to incorporate some safety measures, much like OpenAI has.

Anyway a fantastic promotional strategy to get people hyped about this new product. I must admit, it has sparked my interest. I'm eager to use it. At last, I won't have to deal with frustrating and inconsistent voice actors.
Is there any way to actually practically use kbin/lemmy from a mastodon account?

Finding a post using a kbin/lemmy server and then copying and pasting the url into mastodon in order to interact with it is not practical.

I have also seen a lot of people say they ended up subscribed in a way that resulted in getting all comments instead of only top level posts when they subscribed to communities, which is also not at all practical. Is there a way to subscribe to top level posts within a community?
They have, but when OpenAI started spouting "too dangerous to release" was about the same time they effectively dropped the "Open" part. I hope that is not the same for Meta. But wasn't Meta not releasing model weights except for a leak? In that respect are Meta and OpenAI already equivalent?
It started with Windows 8.
I think with the modified virus you don't just have the intentional vs accidental release dichotomy, but two additional items: (1) was the intent of the research plainly scientific or oriented towards weaponization, and (2) whether changes in virus traits are due to "genetic engineering" or not.

Because there are ways in which both of these can have answers less satisfying than a law of nature, they add another degree or yelling past each other to at least the range of 3 to 4.
> Regular expressions can describe context free shapes of symbols.

What is "shapes of symbols"? Do you mean "characters"?
If you are trying to say that "regular languages" are a proper subset of (less expressive than) "context-free grammar" languages , probably best to leave it at that, and let people look up those well-documented terms if they want to learn more. Making up a new term distracts people who know the normal terms, and is just as confusing for people who don't.
Code 2 means emergency vehicles are responding to an emergency, have their lights and sirens on, and are thus permitted to violate traffic rules.

Code 3 means that emergency vehicles are responding to a non-emergency, backup for a scene which is mostly under control, etc. But it is not urgent enough to warrant lights or sirens.
Even though these events were provoked by the war, they are important even without that connection. Possibility of civil war / regime change in Russa will inevitably hit everyone in the world. Some will get hit more, some less. Some only economically.

Nothing to do with a culture war vortex. Burying your head in sand is not necessarily the smartest option although I understand that it is the easiest one.

No, they are not just a converter that exposes raw NAND to your PC. Rather they abstract away all the details of how painful raw NAND is to deal with into simple "read/write sectors" interface that all your normal filesystems like ext4, NTFS, etc. deal with.

Raw NAND comes with various pain-in-the-ass limitations such as: only erasable in huge (~megabytes) blocks at a time, only writable in slightly-uncomfortably-big chunks (like 32KB or so), and erasing a given region can be done a limited amount of times before it breaks. Oh, and all those details (like exact sizes of erases and writes) will change time to time as manufacturing processes of NAND dies get more advanced.
I wish the US government wasn't the worst steward of capital on the planet. If objectives actually mattered instead of a combo of jobs programs and bribery/influence laundering so much could get done. Im all for science funding but its looking increasingly likely you could just pay spaceX to do this research while they are literally on the planet.

Further, you could basically solve homelessness in CA or build a vast network of public light rail for $10B. Obviously you couldn't do any of that because you need 1-3 layers of consultants and 10 layers of subcontractors to do anything.

So again, in each of the examples you listed I was on topic and directly addressed the argument being made. And on the contrary, many of the comments replying to me in the examples you listed have done everything you accused me of. Do you have a specific example you want to discuss?
This is fun! I propose a few more scenarios:

A hot dog cart serves food in the park.

A 1997 pickup truck is rusting away on the bottom of the park's lake.

An elevator moves equipment up and down floors within the park's maintenance building.

Deep under the park's lake, a nuclear submarine hides from satellites.

An ice cream truck sits just on the border between the park entrance and a private road to a residence.
Regardless of the interpretation of these maps, these do seem to show the power of a good tool built for the free market.

Here you have an app on everybody's phone that is such a useful tool that the government isn't even thinking to turn off in the middle of a war even when it's providing real time intelligence in the open about what is happening on the ground.

This seems like a great example of how openness in technology can overwhelm even one of the least Democratic governments through transparent infrastructure.

I bet when they were building Google maps back in the early/mid 2000s they never thought their tool would be used for real time tactical war reporting on civilian and troop movement.

This analogy isn’t quite right, it’s more like if you trained a font generation AI using commercially licensed fonts, or trained a literature generating model on samples of copyrighted fiction.

The part that matters is that the model is being trained on the copyrighted features of the input, not the parts the copyright holder doesn’t care about.
