I use ChatGPT occasionally to produce complicated queries, or to do some complicated stuff on nested data structures (if I don't care to give them example data).
I like how readable the code and docs are. Thanks for sharing.
>A motion sensor in your phone is also a microphone and might be able to pick up speech.

It's also possible to read lips and monitor typing or writing motions using 802.11, so that's another modality. In addition, your phone's baseband could potentially be used for those same purposes given it affords access to an additional spectrum of RF.
When I studied Econ 20 years ago, behavioral economics wasn’t offered. A decade later, I’d read a bunch of books on the topic, including by Ariel’s. I lamented that this field wasn’t offered when I was in college. Now another decade later, I’m glad I wasn’t in school during the period when it was offered, since it seems to be holding up so poorly. I hope that it can have a more rigorous rebirth, and in the next decade produce some results that are more robust (even if they give rise to fewer TED talks).
Give me a giant hardware toggle switch please!
Ah, matrices! Does * mean dot product, cross product, or the usually less useful matrix multiplication? Ooh, or maybe you should you use . for dot! How clever that would be!

> And that's speaking as someone who once implemented a path class with a subtraction operator that would return the relative path between two absolute ones. I thought I was very clever.

Haha! It's ok. The temptation to be clever with operators is too strong, few can resist before getting burned (or more usually, burning others!) at least once.
Is QubesOS used in the security companies or community?

I know it’s used in Mullvad, and recommended by Snowden (but he isn’t a security specialist).

I have been playing with it, and it might work as a daily driver.
Seems like we need some legislation to prevent airlines from price gouging direct flights. Any flight that includes a stopover in a city should not be cheaper than flying to that city nonstop.
Another way to fix it is to accept that a better product (i.e. skiplagged) has entered the market and attempt to improve their own (shitty pricing UI). Instead they're intimidating minors.
> A carefully shaped money-backed lever over the market is absolutely part of reason you never see DisplayPort inputs on consumer TVs, where HDMI group reigns supreme, even if the TV might use DisplayPort internally for the display panel connection.

Curious about this. Is the HDMI standards group engaging in anti-competitive behavior to prevent DisplayPort from taking over on TVs? I've always assumed it was just momentum.
The relevant applications for hydrogen are ones where efficiency doesn't much matter (long term storage, rare event grid backup). What matters is minimizing capital cost, which probably means using combustion turbines, not fuel cells.
I know a painter who consciously paints himself in all his paintings even if as a viewer you don't notice it much, he basically snips features from himself and projects them onto other subjects in his paintings, whether they are men or women. But this question is perhaps too generalized, some painters do so while others don't. Plus that subconscious part, we're never going to find out.
LLMs are significantly slower than traditional ML, typically costlier and, I have been told, tend to be less accurate than a traditional model trained on a large dataset.

But, they are zero/few shot classifiers. Meaning that you can get your classification running and reasonably accurate now, collect data and switch to a fine-tuned very efficient traditional ML model later.
I just bought a Raptor Lake NUC. The box is physically sitting on my desk, unopened.

And it seemed like they finally hit a good price-to-performance balance with the Alder Lake + Raptor Lake P-chip NUCs.
This is sort of the fundamental building block of many socialist and anarchist movements.

The concept of "mutual aid" as put forward by folks like Kropotkin is basically we should build communities that help one another, offering our communities excess when we have our, and gracefully accepting aid when we need it.
GPT-4 seems far and away the best model at coding. It's the only llm I've tested that can borderline pass a technical interview.
Isn't the efficiency of free markets supposed to be self-evident, thus making it weird to call oneself a "deep believer" in it?

"Distributing goods and services" also sounds as if these were inherently available in infinite quantities.

Problem is, they use finite resources. Such as oil, gas, soil, people.

So you are probably right and your belief is not a belief but a fact, but I strongly disagree with the implicit statement that this would maximize human wellbeing, present and future.

What is the empirical evidence for the efficiency of "free" markets (free from "externalities" too?), and what do they minimize, what do they maximize?
Just because some library writers abuse language features, that doesn't mean everyone else who uses those features correctly should be punished.
HDMI was designed to accommodate home theaters. That usually means a sound system with good speakers. Not every user needs this expanded feature set, but enough do that DisplayPort does not make a good alternative.

Here's where ARC/eARC really benefit me, and I don't see how this problem could be solved with DisplayPort.

I have a PC and a PS5 that support Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) over HDMI. I bought a new TV last year that also supports VRR, but I did not want to replace my perfectly adequate 3 year old reciever that does not support VRR. Even today, VRR support on recievers is questionable at best, and most users likely want their VRR devices plugged directly into their TV.

Thanks to eARC, I can plug my PS5 or PC directly into my TV and have it send the PCM 7.1 surround sound audio to the reciever over HDMI. I can still leave other devices like an Apple TV or Blu-Ray player plugged into the reciever, and everything just works.

Without eARC, I would have to fall back on TOSlink. That means extra cables, and dropping down to compressed dolby digital 5.1 if I want to keep surround sound. Using dolby digital on a game console incurs a pretty noticeable latency penalty, which is why they all default to PCM.
Same here, I wanted to have a mini desktop to transplant the hard drive of a dying laptop, so I was looking into them, and exactly because of that I gave up.
It's almost like things like food and drinks are incredibly subjective, and things that are highly praised by some won't be enjoyable for others.

It's fine to admit to yourself you didn't like something that was hyped.

But "worthwhile" can mean so many things! If you're going to place X to try "the best Y", with that as your only goal, you're almost always going to be disappointed. Did you try something _new_? Was it _interesting_ in some ways? Was the _experience_ around it nice? Did you learn something about your preferences for Y in the process?
Yes, I just found out, at least Samsung Android, my phone does OCR on every picture ond does store it somehow in a DB. When I search for something on my phone, pictures with a part of the search string pop up instantly. Even bad pictures from a monitor, every word is indexed.

Of course .. I'm pretty sure, everything goes to Google / Samsung, you know, to help to make a better service.
Yeah. Versioned. Easy export for other tools. Simple setup. Works on my phone with just a browser. Can make home network only as I am vpn'd to my house anyway. Ticks a lot of boxes.
Biogas is a mixture of methane and CO2. It's been discussed to separate out the CO2 (easy because it's at such a high concentration) and sequester it. This makes biogas net carbon negative. Alternately, hydrogen can be added to convert the CO2 into additional fuel.

The downside is the large land area needed to make the biomass that gets digested. In a fossil fuel free future, carbon-containing waste streams will be valuable as feedstocks (for chemicals, for liquid fuels that cannot be electrified easily), so there will be competition for these streams.
That every successful tech company has to play ball and give up whatever asked. If they don’t then they won’t exist for long. That everything you say and do is stored, cataloged, and searchable. Hell I’m reasonably sure nifi wouldn’t exist otherwise. There is a notable example from 2011
Thanks. For a CTO, he is extremely active in the community. Only the ClickHouse robot is on par with his engagement. I'll reach out to him to see if ClickHouse is a viable option as my plan is to replace GitHub's insights tab with a useful dashboard (this is why DevBoard has such an minimal look), so I'll need a very performant DB that can work with my queries.
> Is there data on how well they actually sell? I always vaguely assumed it was a pretty low-volume product that they couldn't actually get rid of due to niche customer applications. They've historically often been very slow to _update_ it; they definitely don't treat it as one of their more important products.

The Mac mini has always been Apple's low-cost trojan horse product for existing PC users who already have a keyboard, mouse and display. The issues with keeping it updated in the past had more to do with the Intel processors available to Apple.

In the short Apple Silicon era, the Mac mini has been upgraded multiple times. It's remains an important product.
I've used this as my daily driver before when my workflow needed more crossplatform operability between windows and different varieties of linux. This was a long while ago on some old 2013 laptop with 16 gigs of ram and it worked fine.

The real thing you gotta watch out for is full compatibility with all the virtualization extensions it needs in the processor. Key in that old laptop working was that it was an i7.
But life is not a game. You cannot get 100% completion of creating open source software. These statistics (as well as the real githu

If it were, they still wouldn't be able to commentate about it.
I don't think you can, actually, from the level of a team. If you're designing a bridge, you can work with gravity, or against it. But if you're a car on the bridge, you can't work with or against it; the bridge either will hold you up or it won't, your car will either go or it won't.

Conway's Law is about how your organization's communication structures work, and how that inevitably leads to specific outcomes. That outcome is an eventuality for the team, because the team can't change the communication structure. They can design the best damn microservice in the world, and the resulting use of it could still be shit, because the other teams aren't necessarily up to snuff. And you still have all the baggage of dealing with those intra-team, intra-service issues.

I suspect that somebody knows for sure, they just aren't announcing it to the press.
Are the media always this harsh on "based on a true story" movies that take a few liberties? For example, the A Time to Kill novel and award-winning films were inspired by a real rape and near-murder of 12 and 16-year old sisters, yet I don't think any publication condemned the artistic liberties taken there:

Unlike Grisham's depiction, however, the Scotts were white and their assailant was black. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Time_to_Kill_(Grisham_novel)...
I hadn't checked on this project in some time, and last I looked it seemed to be stagnant. Good to see it going strong again.

I just remember that, hardware wise, there wasn't a lot of things that could run all aspects of the OS and be 100% with it. The "certified hardware" on the site also looks like it's out of date.
They're overpriced for what you are buying. I'm not interested in paying $400 for a bare bones i5 with no ram or disk which adds another $150-200.

I bought a quad i5 nuc on sale off Newegg for $300. I also ordered parts to build a little AMD 6 core APU itx setup for 50 bucks more. If the Nuc wasn't on sale I would not have bothered to even look at it. And for 50 bucks more got waaaaay more compute power. The only reason I even bought the Nuc and not another itx was simply the very small size.

The hardkernel odroid h3 with a quad Celeron, dual 2.5 GbE and m.2 M key costs $130 without the case/PSU. Intel can do better on pricing.
I'm with you for the most part, but your examples don't seem to represent the type of citizens that the IC has been targeting for at least the last decade.

Still, we should never allow the government to do to our opponents what we wouldn't want done to our allies.
For a ton of reasons. Fake or purchased reviews is a big part, but also the fact that honest reviews are often misleading or incorrect. As one example, I've often read reviews where the people submitted them before or immediately after they've received the product, and so can't possibly have enough information to write a useful review. Or reviews that are often skewed by price point, encouraging people to rave about crappy products simply because they were cheap.

Amazon reviews are a great example of all of these problems, I think.

If the reviews are about an employer, then there's a whole other level of problems with them. Perhaps the reviewer didn't get along with their manager and so have an honestly terrible opinion of the place, but really, the place is generally great. Or perhaps the opposite -- the reviewer got along wonderfully with their manager and so they're ignoring all sorts of real issues with that employer.

> What if there was a cost attached to posting a review?

I don't think that would help. It might even make things worse, because it would filter out more ordinary people and tilt the balance more towards paid reviewers.

I mean, I could be wrong here. But I've not yet seen a place that allows the general public to submit reviews where the reviews were helpful or accurate in terms of figuring out if the product or service is worth purchasing.

If conspiracy were our only worry, what a wonderful world it would be. However, dangerous developments like this happen all too often without supervillains cackling and masterminds plotting... and people make mistakes like this through innocent decisions.

We don't need to worry only about conspiracy, seemingly arbitrary design choices undermine us at every turn. No one said "if only this room-sized computer were able to fit into a speck of dust and be powered by ambient temperature differentials I could spy on everyone!"... we want those things because it is convenient. Or because it can do things we couldn't do otherwise.

The universe itself has it out for us.
The Toronto Zoo wants you to stop showing the gorillas your cellphone
Right, but it's blade-shaped instead of cube-shaped (with ports on both sides IIRC), which in some cases means it's harder to find room for it.
That's because it's using the phones processors, no? In a hypothetical fbi is recording scenario they might have more sophisticated language processing
Why would the airlines accept this?
Something I have seen in academia while I was in school is that the researchers are well-meaning but can't code. They make dumb mistakes which cause data to be misinterpreted. You try to correct them and they look at you like a deer in headlights.
Your best bet would probably be starting with an iFixit guide[0]. Even if they don't have the exact thing you want to do, some of the guides will just help you learn a lot. The first time I took part a phone I was terrified because they are expensive and I didn't have a lot of money, but I quickly learned how easy it was. It looks much harder than it is, just be patient and go slow (especially when removing the screen). Here's an example guide in how to replace the earpiece on the pixel 7 pro[1]. I chose this because it is a more involved process and because one of the microphones are in that speaker (sorry, gotta disconnect both). It may look complicated, but the number of steps is because of the thoroughness of the guide, not because of complexity. To modify this guide to your goal, all we'd need to do is find where the (other) microphones are. Which for this, that isn't hard since they have to face the outside and Google even tells us[2] (note that there are 3). Not a schematic, but we at least know the location and should be able to reason it out. What also helps in this is a teardown guide, which we can find a video version for this phone here[3], where he does mention the location of the microphones too.

I hope this helps. Just be aware that sometimes components are coupled or you may need to do some minor soldering (which in this case, is probably necessary). The good news though is that if you intend to NEVER use the microphones again, then this is much easier because if you do a little damage then it doesn't matter. To remove those surface mounted mics shouldn't be that hard, but again, patience is key. Use the largest (preferably flat tip, like a flathead screwdriver) soldering iron tip you can get in there and just push (since we're not worried about repair, you don't have to be as concerned about heat).

Cancer outcomes in Canada are approximately the same as in the US. Give or take. Some are better in Canada, some better in the US.

> Conclusions: Among younger Canadian cancer patients in the lowest SES group, greater access to health care may have resulted in higher cancer survival, while higher screening prevalence and access to health insurance (Medicare) among older Americans during the period of this study may have resulted in higher survival for some screen-detected cancers. Higher survival in the highest SES group for stomach and liver may relate to treatment differences. [1]

This study breaks it down by type, and socioeconomic status too, if you're curious.

This is just one more recent study, but there's a lot of evidence to support this.

[edit] Note that 5-year survival rate comparisons tend to benefit the US because the US does more aggressive testing. Studies show that this testing often doesn't actually reduce mortality, but it does start the 5-year survival clock earlier. So odds are this data overstates the outcomes in the US, particularly in the older demographic as the conclusion calls out. But that's a conversation for another time.

The grass is always greener: Lots of people who work with their hands envy us sitting at our climate controlled desks all day (doing god-knows-what).

Although they do often tell me "oh I could never actually do that, I'd lose my mind". Which of course many of us do :)
The FCC aims to stop SIM swappers with new rules
If there was ever an obvious use for AI, identifying (or at least scoring likeliness) images should be one.

Heck, we could even brute force this by resizing images via different methods and comparing checksums. But _surely_ AI can help us here.
Untrue, clear-cut cases with plain facts like a patent being expired are dismissed with prejudice straight off the bat. Judges can be unreasonable but not to that degree, even in shitty districts.

I can't find a single example of this happening. Perhaps it has given someone some trouble but it would be exceedingly rare. It's hard to imagine anyone trying, the law explicitly forbids it.
Thanks, great to hear you enjoyed it!

The round robin "view change" in VSR is still consensus, and uses quorums to do fault isolation of the old primary, and to preserve the intersection property, to ensure that the committed log survives into the new view.

What's cool about VSR's consensus though, is that the dice is also preloaded, ahead of time, so that there's more information baked into the protocol than with Raft or MultiPaxos, which means that you can neatly sidestep their dueling leader problem, or the latency padding that is often added to mitigate it.

You can read more about VSR's intuitive view change consensus here: http://pmg.csail.mit.edu/papers/vr-revisited.pdf

The round robin view chance can also make VSR (slightly) more resilient to weird network faults, like you describe. For example, variants of VSR using stable storage as hinted at by the '12 paper, are in fact able to survive most of the OmniPaxos liveness scenarios (we submitted some errata to the paper's authors for this).

We haven't yet explored visualizing asymmetric connectivity in SimTigerBeetle (we tried to start with the big things!), however we recently wrote about how we test for this in our VOPR simulator here: https://tigerbeetle.com/blog/2023-07-06-simulation-testing-f...
Take a look at those areas I referred to in my previous comment and you'll see that your image of Dubai is but one part of the wider picture. Ask yourself if the West End and the City are all of London or if Beverly Hills is all of LA?

Plenty of people live in Karama and Bur Dubai (i.e. not in Sharjah), for example, who are not especially rich - those parts of Dubai are in fact the oldest and most populous parts of Dubai! Visit those places - don't just go to the usual tourist traps of the Palm, the Marina, and Downtown!
Don’t be ridiculous. But Stable Diffusion could start hallucinating PII.
Screw it, I'll bite. Got a weird feeling you just didn't phrase what you were trying to say as well as you could, and would appreciate clarification.

Is your assertion accurately represented by the following prepositions:

A) The poster you're replying to, is desirous of the purported safety of guaranteed informational asymmetry from those in power

B) the poster in being so desirous, in all likelihood, is mistaken in the perception that codified informational asymmetry is a protection to them, because the same protection covers the person in power, except arguably moreso

Or...

C) the only reason to be desirous of such asymmetry in the first place is that one harbors the possibility of criminal intent.

Which from your phrasing of your original comment, came off with an unsaid part of "which I (referring to yourself) don't have or care about).

I'd like to think C doesn't enter the equation; and I'm fairly sure others have probably reacted thinking that was where you were going with it. If that was the case, fine...

However, even C) is rebuffed by "the definition of criminal is fluid and changes over time; and there is little guarantee in the stickyness or aggreeableness of said change". Material examples resonant with said rebuff can be found in the Roe v. Wade overturn, among other things.

But if B) is more in line with your thinking, I'd be quite interested in further expanding on it. I'd also be interested in where you fall eith regards to the statement "everyone is criminal at some point, no exceptions".

I've always entertained the hunch that one of the best disinfectants for a serving public official would be the complete dissolution of any right to privacy for the term of service. Coincidentally, there'd be problems in that most potential candidates for such work would be few and far between, and there could be pathological effects/selection pressures on the candidate pool, but I've never really had anyone to rubber duck the theory off of before.
