I wonder if the makers of AI may have some index of learning material to perhaps prove they did not infringe? Or they just throw everything they get their hands on to the LLM?
I used to think I caught accidental flags very well… I no longer believe that after reviewing my list of flagged submissions. I just unflagged anything I didn’t think was worth flagging in the first place but some of these are years old.
Haven't read the complaint, but there might be an argument that OpenAI used stolen works to train their data, and as such fair use doesn't apply.
I got excited at seeing the arm64/Linux support, but it doesn’t yet run on Asahi, due to pagesize issues (same as FEX)
Me too, like 20+ over the years. I had no clue I was misclicking. Some kind of confirmation would be a real good idea!
> People who are priced out of an iPhone Pro are not going to take out a loan to pay for a headset they'll use like a game console

Yet people take out 0% interest loans from Apple to buy $3000* laptops?

Besides, in most countries, people tend to pay cash for phones and carriers don’t offer payment plans.

> with it, there's no point in buying it. It's a product that inherently relies on an ecosystem (albeit a strong one) to survive

You mean like you can’t use an Apple Watch at all without an iPhone paired to it initially - not even the cellular Apple Watch and I doubt very many people are buying AirPods that don’t own Apple devices. The main value add over other BT headsets is the tight integration.

> Much like the iPad and the Apple Watch, if the iPhone and its app ecosystem didn't exist it would be DOA.

But the iPhone does exist and Apple’s services revenue from selling to existing users is larger than its revenue from the Mac and iPad revenue combined.

To a first approximation, no one buys Apple Watches for its third party app ecosystem. Most use it for notifications from the phone, for workouts using first party apps and for times when they don’t want to have their phones on them like running or other exercise

> I wager more iPhone users will own Quest headsets than Apple-branded ones by 2025.

And more iPod users and iPhone users own Windows PCs.
News about North Korea should be taken with a very large grain of slat given the medias history of reporting fake news about them [1][2][3][4] (note: I am definitely not pro-North Korea and this story is obviously very bad, but I think people should be a little more skeptical about North Korea news)

Back in the day, I'd flip it around to display the Fry's ad.
He's a singer-songwriter though not a virtuoso guitarist.
What are the current plans/aims of the deferred renderer? I seem to recall coming across a GitHub issue in the past (but can't find it now) that mentioned that this wouldn't be an aim of bevy for the foreseeable future. What changed?
Perhaps not, I thought one of the claims is interesting though, that they illegally acquired some of the dataset. What would be the damages from that, the retail price of the hardcopy?
Better context switching from work to meditation to entertainment then sleep. Anything health serious in that direction with biomarkers would be far better than what we have now for screen time.
I severely doubt that the spiders which crawled the data would go to the trouble of dereferencing and downloading torrents.
No, but that sounds like a place I would have enjoyed.
Does that still show really old removed items though? Some items I remember deliberately flagging don't show in the list.
Yes, this is very helpful! Love you suggestions to do a personal SWOT; and factor pressure/stress into personal runaway.

Thank you!
Pros can/will pay so that their time isn't wasted, but ideally know what to spend the money on. Anrej Karpathy hinted at this in his Lex interview and I agree. Tools are not the point, the point is to decrease the time to a quality product and the misery of doing so.

When I was young and didn't realize I had ADHD, I thought getting a great chair and monitor would help me keep going longer and help prevent frustration leading to burnout. They did end up helping eventually, but only if every other environmental thing got out of my way, and the problem I was grinding away on was right.
If one is going to go there, why not make decisions that increase the amount of money you make? Why help companies succeed shipping crappy software?
If I remember correctly, it assumes the size of a char is greater than or equal to
seven bits, and a char is defined to be the smallest addressable unit.

C does not support bit-addressing.
Apple’s thesis seems to be that it is not overkill — that, in fact, every other option is significantly underkill, and that’s why you don’t use them despite knowing they exist.

It doesn't matter. Pick a number. Maybe you have a 650 MiB cap because you're releasing software on CD. Maybe you have a 25 GB cap because you're releasing on BD. Or 100 MB for some app store. Yet, semver only considers API compatibility, not other factors such as binary size. Any minor change could push the size beyond an acceptable limit. The point still stands.

A more convincing exhibit would have been convincing ChatGPT to output some of the text verbatim, instead of a summary. Here's what I got when I tried:

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, I don't have access to specific external databases, books, or the ability to pull in new information after that date. This means that I can't provide a verbatim quote from Sarah Silverman's book "The Bedwetter" or any other specific text. However, I can generate text based on my training and knowledge up to that point, so feel free to ask me questions about Sarah Silverman or topics related to her work!
Sorry, I'm not following. Could you rephrase your question? Are you asking me if I believe North Koreans should have the right to travel freely? If so, yes, I do believe that.
Could a suitably prompted LLM repeat, verbatim, the book in its entirety?
> Who are the occupiers of North Korea if there are no North Koreans?

Rebels, traitors, and criminals (at least, those claiming to be the North Korean government, or its active adherents), just as was the case of the self-described Confederate States of America within the terriory of the USA.

The bullshit asymmetry principle:

I don't think I'm wrong otherwise I'd stop arguing with you. But you insist stubbornly that I'm wrong without providing any good arguments.

Regarding the downvoting, I don't have evidence for it, but you don't have evidence for your version either. My assumption is that you for some reason see the need to uphold social science as a science, and anything against that narration must be wrong automatically.
Any CD is going to require some kind of authentication key. To minimize the surface area of a potential leak, create a user in AWS for the tool, only grant it access to the resources needed, and then create a key for that user to place in your CI. You should also enable audit trails in your AWS account so you can monitor for unusual activity.
It'll be by appointment so they can control the tap, say it is sold out, say there is a waiting list. Create a buzz.

Whether issues are real or not, I am sure that Apple's marketing team knows how to spin everything. They are famous for that and indeed one of the best.
Data structures is often part of the model, but that's not what the "data model" is all about. It's about having a good overview of how everything is connected.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_model
1000%. I’ve worked for almost 15 years in empathic computing, what we have now for screen time is already deeply dystopian. So the question remains how next generation computing experiences can make our connected lives better. Because connectivity isnt going away, and maybe if we’re strapping it to our face we’ll be much more conscious of the times we choose not to.
Great article & visualizations of how systems have gotten more complex over time.

Per his suggestion of "testing against a service stub / fake server" (instead of method-level mocking), my suggestion for large internal orgs is double down on this and have your service owners to ship their own stubs:

https://www.draconianoverlord.com/2013/04/13/services-should...

I.e. if your `accounts-service` team has an API that is used by ~20 other internal teams, why should each of those teams either a) pollute their tests with low-level method-based mocks that are brittle coupling to impl details, or b) each write their own `AccountsServiceStub` when the `accounts-service` team could ship both `accounts-service-impl` and `accounts-service-stub` artifacts that implement that same API.

But the stub artifacts is a) in-memory, and b) has additional methods to facilitate creating & asserting against the in-memory data, both of which should ideally create a pleasant out-of-the-box testing experience for their downstream consumers.
Agree, developing a value prop. and insights is necessary but not sufficient.
Apparently I’ve flagged about 100 submissions since 2015, and I’d wager none were intentional.

Apologies to posters that didn’t get the complete chance their submissions deserved.
That's just impossible. Even if everyone had perfect e2e encryption, the government could just ban it and throw people who use it in jail.

You can't solve social problems with technology.

What is necessary is a governmental system which tends away from the abuse of power. This requires better voting, more transparency, and the literacy and engagement of its citizens.

The problem is, just like in Conway's game of life, the current system's state informs what states it'll progress to. If a system tends toward corruption or abuse and isn't actively changed, well eventually it no longer will be possible to change.

First a password manager would never store a key unencrypted on the cloud.

When implemented correctly a password manager storing the database shouldn't have any information (keys) to decrypt the database. Only the user & the client knows this information, and it never leaves the client.

There is still the matter of authenticating to the password manager service to retrieve the database. There's a couple of ways to do it, but usually a strong password hash (least desirable and I think this is what LastPass uses) or a Password Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) in which the service keeps an authenticator to verify your password/credentials but the authenticator cannot be reversed or attacked to determine the password (similarly observing the PAKE transaction over the wire or MITMing it won't allow any attack to find the password).

Even if the authentication aspect fails and someone could download all the databases, the database should be protected with at minimum a slow password hash, so a dictionary attack should be very slow. I believe LastPass has stuffed this up in the past. On the other hand, 1Password took a proactive stance despite a hit to the UX by requiring a password + "secret key" which is I believe at least a 128-bit secret that's mixed together to come up with a high entropy password that is used to encrypt the database - so an attacker will have a hard time with any 1P database.

Put bluntly, as a 1P user I'm the least bit concerned that the database is stored in the cloud. I guess the only thing I have to worry about is a surreptitious version of 1Password being distributed to my machine which may capture/exfil my password & secret key. I guess not being open source is a net negative here. So I do place some trust and faith in AgileBits to protect their supply chain and software distribution. Their reputation depends on the security of the service after all.
Sometimes my comments get flagged, that is always a good lesson on what is possible to say in some abroad communities. In some areas of possible opinions I do not even receive a single downvote, but a flag and it is always instant. I have no opinion about the topic, just a little observation.
I have a Valve Index, I've tried it, the resolution is simply not good enough for it to be comfortable as a screen replacement. It (and all VR headsets before it) were simply not reaching the minimum viable product level of hardware for this use case.

This essentially came down to:
1. We've started blurring the lines by having optional depth and normal prepasses (to enable new rendering features)
2. We have renderer devs that are currently experimenting in this space

Whether or not (and how) we embrace deferred will come down to the user experience, effects on the render plugin ecosystem, desired features, perf characteristics, etc. The decision hasn't been fully made yet, but we're going to explore the space.

I'm not the one insinuating that North Koreans are indoctrinated into thinking the great leader has magic powers. You should be the ones to present the sources to such bizarre claims.

Jesus, the guy is saying people are indoctrinated into thinking the great leader "didn’t defecate ever". Do you really think North Koreans are that stupid and have zero biology knowledge? Or maybe, uh, this is just fake? Pure propaganda? Are you really that dumb to believe something like that?

I say leave taste to the artists. Our job is to herd electrons through sand such that it does something useful for someone else, not produce art. We would all be better off focusing on the machine's point of view of the code instead of misapplying our mate selection circuits it.

My understanding (my mother is a doctor) is that we do try to do contact tracing for STDs, but this relies on patients' self-report of who they've been in contact with recently.

IDE tools like what? LSPs for Rust are on par / better than that of C/C++, partially because of language being stricter, no #include nonsense etc. Unlike C/C++, sane build system and dependency management system that are universally agreed upon actually exist. What exactly is "going take a while"?
I don't think the blog post derides the value. Rather, it points out that, while fixing bugs is valuable to the dev (professional self-respect shipping quality products) and the user (obvious), the way software market works in practice is that it's not particularly valuable to the company - at least, not valuable enough to justify the expense. Speaking as someone with 20 years of software engineering experience, I think this is an accurate assessment of things. But at the same time you're absolutely correct that it doesn't make it okay, and it is actually detrimental to both users and developers for the aforementioned reasons.

But, well, this is capitalism for you - whatever is the most profitable thing to do is what gets done regardless of how not okay it really is. I think the question we should be asking is: if users hate using crappy buggy software, and devs hate writing it, but it still gets written, aren't our basic economic incentives clearly out of tune?
After some bantering with Swedish police officers on Twitter I’ve come to believe that many of them simply do not make a distinction between what they have the authority to do, and what they can get away with in practice.

>A confirm dialog may help.

I'm not really a fan of dialogs in flow if it can be avoided, at least not without trying other indicators first, but I would agree some UX experimentation might be worthwhile. Like rather then have it simply go to "unflag", a two letter difference purely in gray, also have it turn bold/bright red for an hour? At least as an option? I just tried playing with the CSS and flagging/unflagging your post, and setting [unflag] to color:red;font-weight:bold makes a real difference without being obnoxious.
I'll share a parable:

When I first got into cycling as a hobby/activity, I didn't know anything other than "get a bike and ride it." I didn't know about clipless pedals or carbon wheels or gear ratios or anything. Nor did I particularly want to know about any of it. I just bought a basic, average, all-around bike and started riding it.

That bike served me extremely well. It didn't do anything particularly great, but it also didn't do anything particularly badly either. It was totally average. I rode it thousands of miles around the Bay Area, and in the course of doing so, got really quite into the sport (which is now, thankfully, a major part of my fitness life). And in getting into the sport, I learned about all the widgets and gadgets and what equipment was better for what situations.

When that bike got stolen (thanks, SF), the timing was such that I was ready to treat myself to a major upgrade. And so I built myself a dream bike. And picking out every component was SUPER fun, because I knew exactly what I needed and why I needed it. I knew I wanted an endurance-optimized frame because I enjoyed long rides with lots of hills. I knew I wanted smaller diameter wheels because it's so darn windy going over the GGB that I'd get tossed around with deep-dish aero wheels. I knew the gear ratios that would be ideal for the type of riding I enjoyed.

And so I remember VERY distinctly when an old friend called me up one day and excitedly told me he too was ready to get into cycling. But oh, was he wracked with indecision, and could I help? Which gears to get? which frame? which brakes? Which indeed.

He was the quintessential amateur obsessed with the tools. And I advised him to take the same path I'd taken: Just buy a bike. Ride it. Learn what you like and what you don't like, and the decisions for the next one will be infinitely easier. Master the basics and then you can focus on mastery with the right tools.

BTW - this wasn't wisdom of foresight here. I lucked into the experience because I was truly an amateur when I started and just didn't care. But I think it worked out well.
This article sets a new benchmark for mental gymnastics.

The "skeptics couldn't debunk him" (ignoring Randi and plenty of others), and by that we mean, "The real point is Mr. Geller is an entertainer" who "challenges our relationship to the truth".

Weird that he "is less dogmatic about claims to otherworldly gifts now" given that the "skeptics couldn't debunk him" and the "anti-Geller brigade laid down its arms."

But really, aren't deep fakes much worse? I mean, not that Geller was bad.

On the other side of the spectrum - code reviews have never, not even one single time, given me any real opportunity to learn something of value. They have only ever been someone else shoving their preferences onto my coding style (for better or worse)

I was shocked at my first job to realize the code reviewer didn’t even read my code, merely glanced over and demanded style changes (which were not consistent from review to review in the slightest)

It really felt more like how you hand your advisor your thesis with obvious easy to fix errors so he doesn’t compulsively decide “well something must need improvement” and make you fix something difficult
