So this was the outcome I guessed would need to happen, but I didn't think publishers would be the ones to push for it, but I guess they are.

The thing is if this upsets you on some gut level, this is just a sign for how valuable information to train on is. May be billions is too much, but hundreds of millions? If your immediate thought is "this must be stopped, this isn't fair" it is a signal of how reliant AI at all is on the data it trains. An untrained nn is useless, it's only useful if it has information to train on. It's not like value creation is zero sum but it certainly doesn't come from zero, and the "something" it comes from is definitely more of the data you train on than the training method you choose.
I defer to my favorite comment I've ever made on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28947742
I don’t know about Clojure specifically, but Java and the JVM have bridge methods for such purposes. Meaning, a hidden method with the old type signature would still get generated whose implementation transparently forwards to the new method with the changed type signature, e.g. converting the T value to an Optional<T> value (or whatever).

Ora Technology (ORA) a software company developing a digital carbon trading platform, has been admitted to the AQSE Growth Market and has begun trading today, 20th July 2023.
Precisely. Storefronts want their cake and eat it too: they want to take control they have over the license from the user, but without the obligation of actually keeping it accessible forever to the user.
America started to do this to try to collect taxes on small transactions. Not to prevent money laundering.
> that does not actually work with original hardware

Well, if you were to populate it with the chips from your old board, it would work. So as a replacement part if it was just your PCB that was cooked, it's not a terrible option. Just having the option to get such a brand-new ancient part is still valuable, regardless of cost.

On the bright side, I could spend $500 more on Mac Pro wheels.

There's so much Reddit-tier Musk-hate in this thread. I don't really understand it.
Not all porn is produced by abusing someone. Not even all CP. So your statement can't be generally true.

Anyway, my point was that pedophilia being mostly caused by child abuse doesn't make much sense. Pedophilia is not child abuse by itself, and thus there's no cycle.

Cycle of abuse would just make you abuse someone in the similar way you were abused. (regardless of any attraction to the victim)
I can't remember any specifics I'm afraid, it was probably 10+ years ago. I remember being prompted to change it (either by mail or in the client), I never did and I never logged in either. The account is gone. Since it was that long ago I can't rule out simply misremembering.

OpenAI absolutely does not have licenses for 99%+ of the content used to build their models. They're following the standard tech company model of "negotiate forgiveness rather than ask for permission".

Agreed. It took weeks of researching to find this term when I was looking to optimize travel time search. Once I did, everything became easier! Ended up forking Open Transit Planner, this was back in 2015. Turned 40 minutes real estate searches into 40ms or so.
Many emulators for these old calculators go out of their way to be as skeuomorphic as possible, using JPEGs of the actual calculator hardware. While some people may enjoy that, I appreciate that these emulators don't make the effort. My dream has always been a 50g emulator in this style.
Thank You. I had not heard of Bolero.
Yes, I agree, they could have invested in the various AI companies, instead the kept bleeding their content creators of all they have. Well the boat sailed, see you later big publishers.
Yet it's been a god-send for nation-state authoritarians in the US.
Buterin reminds me a little of string theorists in physics. There is a lot of intellect but they have chosen to chase something that doesn't produce anything really useful despite a ton of effort.
Google owes $338.7M in Chromecast patent case, US jury says
This might be a good example of feature creep for no reason. They already added a weird “multi video” post thing where you can scroll right on top of scrolling left and I feel this is another step into overloading the UI. The big tiktok of 2019/2020 was magically simplistic where you could basically only swipe full content in a tinder-like fashion, I fear this is another step away from that.
I would like if PlantUML would be implemented in some lighter language. JVM size and startup time is atrocious. You can easily notice latency caused by it even on modern hardware when rendering diagrams locally. In CI/CD it takes too much time to install JRE and run PlantUML. Probably, I can optimize it to some extent, but if it were implemented in another language, I wouldn't have to spend my time on it. Everything Java related is a monstrosity in size and consumed resources (CPU, RAM).

You here means anyone watching it, but interesting to see you get so defensive. The idea that you think "watching CP != abuse" is suspicious to begin with.

I wasn't, but it would be reasonable to accuse you of being a pedophile based on this.
The issue is that the activists represent a real minority of users.

When we hang out in echo chambers, we start thinking that there are “a lot” of people that think like us.

Most folks aren’t technologically savvy. They don’t particularly want to be bothered by the “nitty gritty” of tech usership. They just want their tool to do what they want, without any fuss.

This has had a lot of terrible results. Tech moguls have made a lot of money, by taking advantage of this.

But it’s far older than smartphones. Demagogues have used this propensity for thousands of years, to keep most folks on the smelly end of the stick.

The refusal of tech activists to understand this, has, in my opinion, caused an enormous amount of damage.

People aren’t dumb, and we need to understand, and embrace that. Just because they don’t find tech as fascinating as we do, is no reason to dismiss them.

In fact, as I said, some rather rapacious tech robber barons understand this all too well.

Want to be effective? Make security and privacy easy to use. Otherwise, we’re just howling at the moon.
That many want to do this again is absolutely insane to me.

I see so much support for Mao BECAUSE of his murder of landlords and business owners, not DESPITE of his atrocities
I’m not sure on the level of F# support, but Blazor supports full ahead-of-time compilation of .NET code to WASM:

“Blazor WebAssembly supports ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation, where you can compile your .NET code directly into WebAssembly. AOT compilation results in runtime performance improvements at the expense of a larger app size.

Without enabling AOT compilation, Blazor WebAssembly apps run on the browser using a .NET Intermediate Language (IL) interpreter implemented in WebAssembly”

> But automated testing (unit tests) does not actually produce reliable software. Only extensive manual testing does that. And if you do extensive manual testing, why do you need that automated testing?

Unit testing is not the only form of automated testing. You can have automated regression tests, integration tests, and even automated exploratory tests (similar to what you get with the "million QAs typing on keyboards" approach of manual exploratory testing).

Automated tests are reproducible and reliable (particularly for regression testing or with tight timing constraints) in a way that manual testing will never be. You sound a bit like my old boss who had to be convinced to let us automate tests by sitting him at the relay box and telling him, "This test procedure says 'flip the switch 10 times per second for 10 seconds and a fault indicator will appear', can you do that?" The answer, of course, was no. No one can, automated tests are useful for making reliable software (this was a safety critical system, we cared very much about reliability and if you've ever flown you ought to be happy that we cared).
> had been gifted the wealth elmu was, they could have turned it into more wealth the way elmu has

I definitely would have not done that. I am not that ambitious and I guarantee I would have been happy to achieve practically nothing while enjoying the comforts of my upbringing.
This is a chicken and egg problem, stop making excuses for Western governments. Nearly all US cities had streetcars and dense walkable downtowns. There are pictures of this. They were destroyed in the 1950s due to pressure from car/oil lobbies, as well as eager house buyers who wanted cheap FHA loans. (Only available to whites)

Europe is not immune either, they would've followed the US's footsteps entirely if it weren't for the 1973 oil shock, which hit them harder than the US.
> they aren't considered serious positions in philosophy anymore.

Statements like this say more about your biases than about anything happening in philosophy. As recently as 2019, Chalmers published "Idealism and the Mind-Body Problem" (https://philpapers.org/archive/CHAIAT-11.pdf), a survey of some current positions in idealism.
Plugging those things into the public Internet is a recipe for disaster, and not at all worth it if you just want to use the remote console. They are a lot more than just "KVM over IP", they own the machine totally and completely. BMCs can generally load firmware into CPUs (and NICs, storage controllers, etc.), they can read/write arbitrary locations in host memory, etc.

Those are for plugging into an air-gapped management LAN; their utility is pretty much nil in a shared datacenter. (Which is implied by colocation.) - I would not even connect IPMI unless I "owned" enough of the rack to justify having my own router and switch. If you just have one or a handful of machines, cabled into whatever top of rack switch the DC provisioned, your security posture is way better off just using their crash cart. (Which is roughly the same magnitude of risk as having a keylogger installed; many many magnitudes less than every secret on your machine being compromised.)
Funny, in my high school literature class I clearly remember being chastised for having sources in my works cited; but not warranting their inclusion with an actual reference in the work.

It's kind of wild that LLMs and other models/sequences will be able to quickly suss out which papers have high levels of referential integrity.
As a frequent internet user, I must admit that "X" is my go-to symbol when I want to close a browser tab quickly. It's a simple yet effective design that has become almost universally recognized across various web browsers.
This is super cool. This exploit will be one of the canonical examples that just running something in a VM does not mean it's safe. We've always known about VM breakout, but this is a no-breakout massive exploit that is simple to execute and gives big payoffs.

Remember: just because this one bug gets fixed in microcode doesn't mean there's not another one of these waiting to be discovered. Many (most?) 0-days are known about by black-hats-for-hire well before they're made public.

Back when it was OpenAI, I easily could side with the open source software.

Now that one company closed it off, is trying to regulate things, and is profiting from it: Let the lawyers win with fees.
I still haven't seen anyone address the question of how the orb will determine that I am one person, and not two one-eyed persons. It seems like by chosing something that most people have two of, people can easily create a left and right identity.

Especially in the context of environmental justice it’s important to consider why/how it got to be like it is today, and it seems like there’s a pretty clear line from the current conditions to the land speculators/railroads and the bureau of reclamation.
The plug in hybrid is a better choice for most people honestly these days. Fiat only sold the 500e in california where every other new parking garage sees a dozen ev charging spots put in. It’s hard to imagine that being viable in other parts of this country.
+1 for Plantuml. It has a great ecosystem, but there are certainly tradeoffs vs using mermaidjs, because of their different compilation models. Mermaidjs seems to look nicer out of the box as well, but usually that's not the point for a sequence diagram.

I'd use whichever works for your ecosystem and diagram lifecycle. The syntax is similar enough that I think the diagram creation constraints are often a bigger difference.
Please give some concrete examples (which aren't a decade old) of twitter being the bane of billionaires and corrupt nation states, that would help a lot. For now my only reaction to your comment is 'huh?'

It's in the article. Fuzzy iris hashes made with specialized hardware.
There are legitimate reasons to dislike the man but it's so obvious that the mob is just grumpy that Musk allowed criticisms of the Democratic party line to exist on Twitter.
No, it's not. You are reading into things. There is no elevating one modality above the other, they are related but different.

Why are you projecting your own biases into my statement? Call a spade a spade. What you take away beyond that is on you.

I have entirely given up on getting Firefox bugs fixed; considering stuff like the entire browser crashing because the GC gets starved during heavy load [1] to seemingly having no control of their file handles at all [2]...

Wait... now there's also APU's under the AMD Athlon brand? I know that people are happy when AMD's product offerings are on-par or outperforming Intel, but they didn't have to outdo Intel in the consumer confusion arena as well.
Meh, it sounds creepy, but the article goes into detail on why the iris hashes are sufficiently private.

I suspect the media and uninformed commenters will far overblow concerns about this, without actually learning how it works and why it's private enough.
>most of the business software that goes into said mainframe is in fact very simple and straightforward

Yeah no. I worked on mainframe code for 15 years of the last 20 and can tell you that you’re wrong. Even reasonably simple business lines have cobbled together insane cobol, batch and cics screens that would make spaghetti blush.

When you open up a 100,000 line batch program that’s just 1 of 30 cobol programs in that run which is a mess of gotos, global mutable state and basically every single other generally frowned upon software practice we know about, you start to understand the issues.

Moving off of mainframe is practically impossible because of it. That other person being voted down is actually correct, nobody in the organization actually knows how any of it works.

When organizations try to transition away, what ends up happening is they get these insane promises of “5 years” from vendors (like IBM. Ask me how I know!), but then it takes 10 years to transition single systems.

Nothing is documented. So you have business people who have no clue how anything works providing high level work flows. But then there’s always 50 random edge cases or interactions they never considered cause the 40 year old code just does it.

IT contains most of the business knowledge, but the mainframe grey beards are… stubborn. The business hangs on to these people because they’re seen as insanely valuable, not realizing that the grey beards have actually been actively suppressing knowledge to only their hidden documents, and they’ve got 8 years till retirement and are going to make sure that their job exists at least until then by actively sabotaging efforts to change. But also, for some reason, the business manager love the saboteurs. It’s insane to watch.
Beautiful. :):):):)

>As I said in the video, the hypothesis for the finches is unproven. I simply wanted to show an interesting alternative theory that throws up some interesting questions.

The trouble is that the example fails to be compelling. Why should the flexible stem of finches be in their agency, rather than their DNA (which might justify what set the finches apart from the other songbirds)? Why should we then start to ask questions about agency, when there's no strong reason to believe that agency at cause?

There are lots of interesting questions in counterfactuals, but almost none are particularly worth thinking about scientifically. What do I about a world where agency influences evolution, given that there's no evidence that that world is this one?
Pragmatic, but a marketing move like that has far-reaching consequences -- both in their relationships with social media companies and the normies that look up mastodon and associate it with "hackers."
Can confirm. Work for a midsize manufacturer. Core of the business is on AS/400 and DB2.

Although a lot of new development is happening in C#/SQL/.NET and BLAZOR.
IIRC LHC has two separate experiments doing largely equivalent physics, complete with separate teams, buildings and instruments, precisely as a cost-saving measure. (They tried axing one of them at some point, and the budget for the other very quickly increased twofold and then some more. Of course cross-checking is also a concern, now that the US can’t build accelerators anymore.)

On the other hand, I don’t see how you could pull this off in an adversarial environment incentive-wise. If everybody gets paid, a winning strategy during the contract is to not really try; if only the winner gets paid, a winning strategy when choosing the contract is to avoid everything that looks even slightly risky. Supposedly there’s a whole not-a-Nobel-prize-winning theory of auctions—I wonder if it has something to say here.
No details on the performance impact of the microcode update. Presumably it disables speculative execution of vzeroupper?

The problem is that companies see that they undersold their content relative to the value it’s providing LLMs, and now want to renegotiate past and future deals with AI companies. Exactly as you said: they just want a bigger slice of pie.

I made my proposal for improwing this wholl workflow still waiting for interested developer to implement it
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/ux/-/issues/5
I looked into those points and:

1. `sfd` is now closed. This cost me an extra line of code tho so I had to improvise.

2. `j` was not initially -1 as even empty input contains one "\n" character. But it could go pass value of 0 underflowing the buffer when buffer contained only white space characters (like in case of single "\n"). This was corrected.

3. `h_addr_list[i]` about this one. I'm quite sure I took it from example in one of man pages. Anyway, I replaced it with `memcpy`.

I also tried to use valgrind. This is OFC my first step but I will continue my studies on detecting memory leaks in future projects.
"Past Performance Is Not Indicative Of Future Results"

I think the actual dynamic here is that a personality who is good at inspiring passionate following in a small group of people [0] is not really a good personality for endearing himself to most people. So driving startupesque innovative companies working on hard engineering was in his wheelhouse. Whereas being on the political stage, and running a company whose chief asset is its hundreds of millions of users, is not.

With his ability to create that type of following, Musk would have been much better starting his own social network. Having found himself owning Twitter, he should have put the company into stasis mode, viewed the debt interest payments as a sunk cost of a bad financial investment, and brought in professional management to run the company and slowly cut costs. Alas, he was overconfident based on his previous successes.

It absolutely wasn't intentional - a flood destroyed the diversion works, funneling the entire Colorado river into the valley. It took two years for them to force the Colorado river back into its original channel. It was the impetus for what eventually became Hoover Dam after it left such a negative impression of the devastation an untamed Colorado river could do.
