It was a long time ago for me. IIRC, I installed Nixnote on Ubuntu and it was fairly straightforward to simply download everything to local files after that. I do not know whether Evernote still permits that loosey-goosey API access by such a Unix program, though.
Early EF was GUI based complex one. Recent version is fine after they support "Code-first" API.

Apple not fixing broken DSC in MacOS, limiting monitor refresh rate to 60Hz
I have Intel Macbook 16" (2019) and bought Dell G3223Q 4k @ 144Hz monitor and it only shows 60Hz maximum in MacOS Ventura. But it works fine at 4k @ 144Hz in MacOS Catalina, I made Catalina partition just to test it.

Apple support kicks back and forth, engineering department saw my Catalina screenshots proofs, sysdiag logs, and now asks me to show where in Dell specification it says that MacOS Ventura is explicitly supported (sigh). Battle is ongoing.

The DSC in MacOS was broken 3 years ago. All users of Intel Macbooks lost the ability to use high refresh rate on their external monitors.

Amazon. My personal best time for a full refund was slightly under 2 minutes.

It may be that having a long standing account, not claiming every delivery has been "lost" and rarely returning products makes me appear unlikely to be the usual customer asking for a refund.
>China was never going to allow a movie that made the American military look so damn cool.

Even in Europe I saw they're not that comfortable with it. In Austria they had recruitment posters ads outside the theater entrance and they played ads about joining the Austrian airforce before the movie, to try convince you to join the Austrian airforce so you can fly the only two functioning Eurofighter Typhoons in service lol.

China did their own Top Gun movie featuring their own Chendu jets.

I believe this is a clear example of the Moloch effect [1].

Companies race towards having the shiniest chatbot or _virtual assistant_, without fully understanding all the implications and customer needs. Everyone wants to have their brand name associated with being "the first" or "the best" in their segment for providing such technology, no matter how trivial it may seem -- e.g. as the article points out: just wrapping already available info in a dialogue.

Given these incentives and high stakes, it's also hard to "exit" the bandwagon, due to various factors like reputation, costs, and the uncertainty around your competitor not doing the same.

I'm not an AI expert or even novice nor am I a neuroscientist, but I have been thinking about how I interact with the world.

My current imagining says that novelty and unexpected inputs drive our immediate understanding of the world around us. To have expectations you have to have to have a model. When that model breaks and is adjusted you have a novel experience and the model can be updated. This feedback loop is critical.

Example: other day I was grilling food and my digital food thermometer was on the metal prep area near the hot griddle. As I was walking away I reached for it, grabbed it, and expected to pick it up. However! I didn't know it had a magnet and it gave me back unexpected stimulus.

I immediately jerked my hand away and several thoughts happened near instantly. My thoughts went from I burned my hand to no, no pain, maybe a really bad burn, to no, no heat, no sizzling of flesh, to oops, wrong stimulus, something resisted, resisted how, it slid but wouldn't pick up easy, ah, a magnet.

The researchers here are right, I expect. You need curiosity and some goal, but you need to constantly tune the input for expectations and tweak the (mental) model of the world.

How many times do you, for a split second, totally misinterpret what you see or feel but near instantly self correct? Better AI will require putting forth it's initial result and then validating the result with feedback. The more unexpected the feedback the more novel the experience and more learning that can happen.

I'm not trying to be offensive in any way with this comment.

Why did you try Threads?

This question comes from a person who doesn't have a twitter account, so if the answer is that you want to replace your twitter usage with something else, could you elaborate the value you get out of these platforms?

lol, and I thought Mastodon was a conspiracy by Big Janky Off-Brand Domain Name.

but really, Bluesky users have spent the past two months going wild with novelty domain names. You can pay $1 for the first year for all manner of stupid funny names, and people do.

For anyone here that would be easy - but for non-techies you can see the use case for a service that does it for them.

This really is just providing a convenient service that this specific userbase demonstrably wants.

If anyone else wanted to do the same they could, nobody's stopping you. But this is an actual service for Bluesky's users.
Thank you for bringing this to out attention! We are currently working on a fix.

Tbh, I'm not against a Basic Income. I'm against the "Universal" part. A basic income should be something handed out to those in need of it and they should be helped so they can stop relying on it.

I have used a similar-sounding service called AirHelp, and it was absolutely worth the (tiny) effort on my part. I believe they took 1/3 of the compensation I got, which seemed very fair since they got through the request process and denial and all the way to lawyers sending letters to each other: I would probably have given up with nothing.
good question, but a lot of small Mastodon instances know their users and the users would happily throw in a few euros* to help them as needed.

100% agree with this and the other post, the biggest red flag is "Meta".

Whoever thought something good and user-first would come out of this wannabe Twitter killer is completely naive.

I expect that federation won't last and there's 2 things that can happen, either Meta decides it's not worth it, or they will find a way to draw out most of federated users and then deal a killing blow to the fediverse.

I was skeptical about being against Meta's Twitter being federated, but now I am totally in favor of it being banned by most instances.

A more charitable interpretation could be that they just haven't implemented a bunch of stuff that's required by the GDPR -- like being able to export data and deleting your account.

It's not the 'government' paying this particular interest payment is it. It's the Bank of England.

If you want to talk about money the _government_ is actually paying then you need to look at the portfolio of gilts (government bonds). At current interest rate trends the national debt will be costing the UK £160bn/yr in coupons

£45bn is small potatoes.
I was lucky enough to do some programming work, very many years ago, in the 1990s, in the laboratory of Ralph Siegel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Siegel_(scientist)), who among other things worked on this type of worm connectome models. He used the Hodgkin-Huxley equations to simulate neuron responses on the connectome. The Hodkin-Huxley model, as someone explained to me, is kind of like modeling a human leg as three rigid blocks connected by hinges - it's enough to be useful in many models, but of course it's not a full description. Also, it may not the right model for worm neurons, because worm neurons are non-spiking, and the HH equations describe neurons that produce trains of spikes; they exist in more complicated nervous systems. The HH equations are used in simulations because it's the mathematical model we have, and it seems that they're still used by the OpenWorm project. (I am not very sure about properties of worm neurons, I heard about this a long time ago and the information may be out of date).

I think it's great that this work is still going on, it may produce insights about functioning of nervous systems. But the difficulties are fierce, and we're making very slow and difficult progress in an immense unknown area.
Have a look to Neuron / Core neuron (https://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/ / https://github.com/BlueBrain/CoreNeuron), Nest (https://www.nest-simulator.org/) and for the ultra low level STEPS (https://github.com/CNS-OIST/STEPS). For most computational neuroscientist, they are the bread and butter.
There's so much discourse focused on playing the biggest games on max settings that it can be easy to forget the sheer number of older or non-AAA games that work just fine on modest specs. Or games that work fine if you bump down to medium/low.

Oddly enough that is partially to the credit and fault of Sony/Microsoft. games have been stuck targeting 2013 hardware for a very long time, longer than any other generation prior. But it was also needed in a way; the cost/speed ratio of storage was woefully behind the power advancements, and we see that with the crazy load times in the mid-late generation games of gen 8.

On the same end, mobile has been advancing in huge strides and there were more x86 hardware that could run on lower wattage. Valve simply saw a hole that only certain Chinese manufacturers were trying to fulfill, and they used their market advantadge to slash prices. Honestly surprised Microsoft didn't try this first, given their dabbling with Surface (I know Sony has long since been burned out on handheld gaming)

Satellite images won't show private areas. It's even hard to tell anything significant about the area besides that something is there.

They follow privacy laws, don't record private areas, and are not public accessible. There are also generally less security cameras in Germany than in similar countries AFAIK.

> it's not clear until the very end whether the character is going through increasing levels of paranoia, or dealing with an adversary

Er, which one do you think it resolved as? Your phrasing suggests you went from doubt to believing the narrator is reliable and sane. I was and am convinced in his reliability; yet, he fell for a painfully obvious ploy by the adversary, which is not terribly consistent with superintelligence. Nevertheless I understand the story to be, in-universe, reliable, but from outside, intentionally following narrative tropes consistent with mental illness. Other tropes include "there's something in the jab", "CIA is after me", "I have become the renfield of a hidden adversary".

So there's a lot of evidence for the opposite interpretation, that the protagonist is simply ill the whole time. This interpretation has the distinct advantage that falling for the attack was truly a flaw on the part of the protagonist (qua confabulator, I suppose) rather than the narrative or the author. In fact I can't really say why I don't adopt this as my preferred interpretation; perhaps a bias for my original interpretation, or skill on Chiang's part in convincing the reader of the less plausible explanation through, what, sheer sympathy?

Ah, yes, the one weird trick of GDPR "compliance" by being a smaller, less appealing target to the enforcers.

The "GDPR is dangerous" meme needs to stay alive because it's massively ambiguous and different country's interpretations vary wildly. The types of companies the law is "protecting people from" are non-European ones. It's just economic protectionism in the guise of privacy.
I did my Ph.D. in computational neuroscience (2020 grad).

This project is often used to joke about the limitation of computational modelling of nervous system. If you can't compute the behavious of an effing worm with mere ~300 neurons, whats the point of all hot-air around connectomics (mapping connections of the brain). Connectomics used to be a big word when I started my Ph.D.. The apologists are always like, "real neuron is way too complicated!".

IMHO, chemical computations are often over-looked in neural "computation" communities which are extremely hard to model. Forgetting modelling, we don't know reaction parameters of most proteins and other molecules involved. Electrical side of computation is easy to measure and one can understand why we started with it. There are a thousands types of proteins even in a small structure such as synapse, and individual protein can implement interesting non-linear computation. E.g. CaMKII can implement and bistable switch (flip-flop) and thus store 1-bit of memory using just a few molecules (the real story is a much more complicated).

Indeed, you do need kind of a loss leader weak compute GPU to get people interested and experimenting with your platform.
Cloud does not fulfill that purpose being too expensive, too limited and not secret enough.

Normal gaming nVidia GPUs fill that role. You need big guns, you buy a lot of their compute cards next.

AMD had decent compute capabiliites in their CDNA line, but they didn't follow through with drivers. The cards were pretty bad to try to use for compute with early ROCm, and just as bad for gaming.
For thousands of years, there has been a creepy-looking guy on the corner, with a cardboard sign that says "REPENT - THE END IS NEAR", and just because she's a 20-year-old autistic Swede right now doesn't make the message any more credible or relevant.

I personally prefer the guy carrying the sign that reads "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" because that's the best individual action we can take.
That’s not “independently created” you’re suggesting reimplementing the output of a process not from first principles but from the output of the process. I can make a compiler in a programming language without it being a derivative work of any other compiler.

Further, people have programmed in languages before any compilers where created which worked after the compilers where created.
