Google isn't blocking the internet on out-of-auto-update Chromebooks. They just stop getting updates.

That means that as the software drifts farther and farther out of date, which in turn means that some things will stop working, but it's not a kill switch.

There already are native boot Linux distros for most Intel Chromebooks.

The schools may decide that the costs or risks are not worth it to run unsupported hardware/software in their environment, but Google isn't turning them into doorstop as some people on this thread seem to be implying (or believing themselves).
Another project designed to get L7-9s promoted at Google. Ambition and the ability to wave hands are all you need. I like cool stuff, like capabilities, as much as the next person, but nobody needs a new OS. Linux will evolve sufficiently anyway. A new OS isn’t compelling for users.
By contrast, any system that relies on benefiting others at the expense of the self as a core foundation seems doomed to instability, by human nature itself. Requiring a class of expendable people, expected to deprive themselves for the benefit of the group, the utilitarian price to pay for the needs of the many.

It’s immoral and it’s just plain flawed design.
Twitter has had two profitable quarters ever. The technical quality is actually great; its problems are on the product and business side.
The news you are getting is wrong is the simplest explanation.

It has a homeless problem, just like every large city in America, maybe worse than some, definitely better than some.

The CHAZ was a protest 3 years ago. That area is now basically indistinguishable from before, which is to say that it is a counterculture hotspot in the city, but still very safe. There are two colleges within a block of where the CHAZ was that are thriving, and it is a great place for shopping, a night out, seeing a show, etc.

It is a city where housing is much more affordable than many parts of California, but you can still get access to major career opportunities. There are beaches in the city, and skiing, hiking, glaciers, etc within an hour or two. The cultural scene is thriving.

People think that big lefty cities are dangerous without having ever been there.

If I asked you which of the following cities has a higher murder rate than Chicago which would you select: Cleveland, Las Vegas or Kansas City.

The answer is all of them have a murder rate 30% higher than chicago.

The point is that the news likes to pick on certain places, but you should look to more reliable sources.
Note that 2017 is only six years away!
i’ve tried arc a couple times and never got to the “aha!” moment. in a lot of ways arc reminds me of software from the early 2000’s that tried to do everything.

i think they’re doing some interesting stuff, but i just couldn’t find features or workflows that were safari-killers for me.
Maybe there is retail churn.
I just tried to get chatgpt to generate something in the style of tony soprano and it couldn't do it, because tony soprano kept waxxing about how good everything was and how positive everyone is.

I don't know why it makes me so mad, but it infuriates me. We somehow have circumnavigated back to 50s era censorship, but instead of a government it's now in the hands of supranational corporations.
This would initially be a community, like Wikipedia, Reddit, Github, etc. People who are passionate about the future of AI, believe in the value of open source data and want their voice to be part of a community of data that will be used to train AIs in the future.

In my wildest dreams, and even reasonably, you could incentivize people with a digital currency. I was thinking something along the lines of a community that could stake some money ($100/$1000). They would then get "ownership" and moderating rights to the contents of a dataset. Other people could submit content to their dataset that they could allow or deny. The allowance of the content would distribute some share of the stake in the form of tokens. Then they would be able to re-sell the data in the set to people who want to fine-tune AIs using that dataset. The value of the tokens associated with that dataset would go up thereby distributing some portion of the profit to the moderators and the contributors.
> Second, your scenario doesn't analyze another human and issue judgement, as the AI detection algorithms do.

> When a human is miscategorized as a bot, they could find themselves in front of academic fraud boards, skipped over by recruiters, placed in the spam folder, etc.

Is the problem here the algorithms or how people choose to use them?

There’s a big difference between treating the results of an AI algorithm as infallible, and treating it as just one piece of probabilistic evidence, to be combined with others, to produce a probabilistic conclusion.

“AI detector says AI wrote student’s essay, therefore it must be true, so let’s fail/expel/etc them” vs “AI detector says AI wrote student’s essay, plus I have other independent reasons to suspect that, so I’m going to investigate the matter further”
Pretty much exactly what you'd expect him to say...
Because it's slower with no security benefit.
As evidenced from the poster's ORM rant, two languages for the same DB seem just as offensive to them as different languages for different DBs. I suspect you're still going to have an uphill battle converting them, unless they were hit with a blinding shaft of sunlight on the road to the SQL History Museum or something.
iCloud Mail Error?
I've just recently started receiving an iCloud Mail error and I'm not sure why as all other services work and the status page seems to disagree with me. Is anyone else seeing what I'm seeing?
Microsoft has created a pizza-scented Xbox controller
I mean Capitol Hill really was seized and people were killed and stores were looted. Crime really is escalating along with the homeless population. Plus there is a drug issue. So the news I am consuming is not the issue. Thus the answer is that in spite of these things the city is growing, hence my question.

No need to lob insults in some sort of misguided political crusade. Thanks!
Yeah, that's disposable technology, and, guess what, that means you're the bad guy.
If this pans out, this is some 2044 Nobel Prize stuff
Much of the criticism of market research comes from inexperienced researchers that ask hypothetical questions.

If you focus on past and current behaviors and problems you can fairly accurately predict future behaviors since most consumers/customers tend to do the same things over time.

That said, I read and enjoyed the book you linked to and thought it had valid points. If you can build a quick prototype to observe actual behavior then go that route rather than starting with a formal discovery process. That’s not always doable though…
I suggest the prior to any question about recent stock price movements should be “random walk”.
Why wouldn't they catch this before they started work on porting this device to Fuchsia? Why isn't this a problem with the existing OS (Android? ChromeOS?)?
Well, 48gb is better than nothing at least. And it has the potential (if we get the build right) to drop a second A6000 card into it with the nvlink module (I think this does allow you to effectively have 96gb) later.
No, it depends on supply and demand. Lots of people want to act. Lots of people want to make tools.
I'm sure those were all completely above board and reputable businesses getting raided by the IRS, like Mom-and-Pop hardware stores or town doctor's office, and not used car dealers or nightclubs.
Is this more or less exploitive than the western powers?

Shell will massacre villages that resist exploitation, how many massacres have the Chinese financed so far?
arXiv overlay journals are a thing, and should be more common. https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.03383
These numbers often get inflated because the people in change count every part-time worker as a full team member (bigger headcount = bigger promotion!). But it's still a crazy number. At every level everyone is incentivized to bloat the headcount as much as possible.
always keep in mind that startups are a different kind of stupid from large corporations.
I am skeptical that it is physically possible for water to be retained in a child's mouth long enough to make a difference. Might the 25% also have something to do with introduction of enhanced dental care, and encouraging frequent brushing of teeth with fluoridated toothpaste? You know, the stuff that leaves a significant residue, and is not completely wet and slippery?

I'm also skeptical whether you realize that "fluorinated water" is rather impossible. Fluorine is a gas, and a highly reactive one. It will explode (oxidize) if you mix it with water, you know. So, for your 25% factoid, [citation needed].

Off topic, but I hate the name Assistant. It is the most uninspired name imaginable. There's no personality to it and no fun.

I apologize, I couldn't not resist to the occasion of being technically correct. I should also have stated that a superconductors based CPU would be incredibly cool figuratively and physically!

> When it comes to smoking, at least in the US, it has largely become an affliction of the poor and uneducated.

We all are capable of addictions. Smoking is the one most available to the poor.

A lot of smart people get hooked on drugs -- even though they probably shouldn't. Wall street investment bankers and cocaine come to mind -- even though they are maybe some of the smartest people on the planet.

> So the main issue is that tackling smoking rates among the poor ... is really about tackling many of the issues of poverty itself.

You're right, but your cause and effect are switched: Addiction is more likely to create poverty than the reverse. Not only does it create poverty, but persistent poverty. People would rather get high than clean themselves up and own a house.

Anecdotal, I am not seeing any difference with the low paying jobs.
What? No. It says right there on the Wikipedia page that they ate fish and lean meat.

"The traditional diet of the islanders contained sweet potato, green-leafy or root vegetables, and soy foods, such as miso soup, tofu or other soy preparations, occasionally served with small amounts of fish, noodles, or lean meats, all cooked with herbs, spices, and oil."

well, that is completely opposite to my experience. on or next to the road i have to constantly pay attention to traffic. every moment a car could get to close and scrape me or worse. away from the road i can ride much more relaxed. only at intersections i need to watch out for traffic.
If I understand this correctly, the source code of a Marsha program does not fully determine the running code. And we aren’t talking about immaterial optimizations, the LLM could do vastly different things with the same Marsha source.

A programmer is a human who connects the world of humans with the world of machines. To do this, he is required to sufficiently understand both worlds. On the human side this requires social competence and professional accountability, which machines don’t have. On the computing side, it requires at least that machines behave in predictable and comprehensible ways. Marsha appears to fall short on both counts.

Using an LLM for programming is inherently irresponsible. The people arguing in favor of doing so have not subjected LLMs to any kind of rigorous testing. They simply have unshakeable faith.

I am in the midst of a careful review and surgical takedown of a 9000 word demonstration of ChatGPT’s supposed ability to help testers test. It took maybe 20 minutes for some drooling consultant fan-boy to produce the demo. It has so far been about 30 hours of work to carefully pore through each sentence and show how it is wrong. I am doing the testing and critical thinking that the original consultant failed to do.

The Marsha site has a brief line about how it produces “tested” Python code. The one thing you can bank on with LLMs is none of you big eyed enthusiasts have a serious attitude about testing. It’s all simplistic demonstration.

I’m frustrated by this culture of fawning adoration of unproven and unprovable tools. I hope this trend peaks and become a generally acknowledged joke soon! Then we can resume with craftsmanship and responsible engineering.
You want a 90/10: 90% of the benefit, 10% of the effort.

does anyone have an example of how to use the (position,position) syntax? I can't get it to work.

FWIW, I think the discussion here this highlights the biggest problem with the approach. Either it's confirmatory and wasn't a question worth asking in the first place or it's surprising and people need real data to evaluate the response.

I think that you could move those bits to destroy them somewhere else but what I got from pezezin post is that there are many order of improvement to achieve before that loss becomes significant enough to warrant the incredible complexity of shipping wasted bits to the heat sink.
I'm increasingly inclined to see classical footnotes or endnotes as a preferable compromise.

Simply hyperlinking text often provides little context as to where that link is going, though alternatives (as with your own pop-up context cards, see also Mediawiki's use of same) are useful. I've played with sidenotes as an option, implemented in CSS (I've a few CodePens on this concept). That also works reasonably well (and can even be responsive to screen size).

There's also a fantastic quote of Walter Benjamin's I've just run across:

“Already today, as the current scientific mode of production teaches, the book is already an obsolete mediation between two different card file systems. For everything essential is found in the index box of the researcher who wrote it, and the scholar who studies it assimilates it in his own card file.”

-- Walter Benjamin - Attested Auditor of Books, in One Way Street (1928)

The thought of books (or Web articles) as inter-process communication between author's personal datastors (Zettelkasten, databases, wikis, org-mode notes, ...) is a fresh and illuminating one.

After reading up on it, it was a bit of both. They either know how to game the system or got lucky they filed a lot of death threats while the tro is pending and Then followed up with more after. The main legal error was that a judge granted a final restraining order based on he said she said. They then filed many more claims of death threats. The da did drop the charges due to lack of evidence, but the criminal switched jurisdictions to keep playing their game
Fine-Tuning or Grounded Generation?
When applying GenAI to "your data": do you use fine-tuning or grounded generation (aka retrieval augmented generation)?
It's worth noting that when a VC says "there's no money in X", their definition of what constitutes "money" is very different from a normal persons. It's more accurate to say "there are no wildly market-inefficient profit margins to capitalize on and make hundreds of millions from in tools".
I get it's "just a prank bro" but if you look at the issues for the repository it's full of other similar trolling, especially within the current 656 (!) closed issues. It would suck as a developer on the project to deal with that.

Open source is supposed to benefit everyone and here we are trashing this project in this instance just because of anger towards the name of a company?

That is not a reliable indicator even today. GPT-4 (not the ChatGPT RLHF one) is not distinguishable from human writing. You could ask it about modern events, but that's not a long term plan, and it could just make the excuse they don't follow the news.

> If your phone or the cellular phone network was inadvertently making extra copies of texts and sending them to the wrong people, how would you ever know?

Timing of the texts, contents of the messages.

If I text my friend "I'll be there tonight," and then I get a strange text within an hour saying "Who is this?" then I would raise an eyebrow, but likely not engage.

If I text my friend "sounds good" and then I get a "Who are you" text an hour later, that's not as relevant to what I wrote, so not worth a second thought.

If I text my friend "Hey, Lisa says she lost your number, is it cool if I give it to her?" and then I get a text a day later saying "Who is Lisa," I'd be very concerned.

This post is a master class in why you shouldn't get all your information from Wikipedia. Press releases are not reality.

Yes the M855A1 was developed and started operational testing in 2010. However, it wasn't available to anyone who wasn't forward deployed until...my memory says 2015. The M855 is still used on post because a) it's cheap, and ballistically similar to the M855A1 and b) the production lines at Lake City are still geared for them

The Marine corps didn't formally adopt the M855A1 until 2017/2018. Brass didn't like it because it broke the feed ramps on machine guns. There was a big procurement SNAFU about this.

I get that you're trying to be snide because you were so publicly wrong, but your tone here really just makes you sound like you're trying to sound smart about something you know nothing about. Something to consider. Frantic googling does not an expert make.

You're right about the copper core on the new model A1 - I thought it was steel entirely with thin jacket. I would argue that when, by weight, the majority of the bullet is steel, my original point still holds.
What Is the Future of Calculators?
Wait, most of _what_ code is unsafe? Aside from this one comment it sounds like you just came here to shit on Rust, lol.
Cheers for the suggestion, I might give that one a go.

Something that I was wondering while I was reading about Heinlein and his books was why I hadn't read him. My school library was surprisingly well stocked in classic science fiction, which I explored and read a lot of. So I assume it must have also had Heinlein, unless he'd been 'censored' because of some of his more radical content but the library did have the Illuminatus trilogy, so I don't think so. Did I just never find his books, or did I find them and reject them? It's odd, because I pretty much read any science fiction I could find back then.

I'm much less tolerant of science fiction now, to the point of being somewhat intolerant. I often label people as suffering from 'science fiction brain' and I certainly apply that label to Musk for his beliefs in things like that 'Artificial Intelligence' is actually possible (I consider it only an idea to play with in books and not ever feasible in reality). That's why I found your comment interesting; as an insight to the roots of such a 'science fiction brain'.
Perhaps they didn’t think the impact was going to be as bad as it was and it turned out it just wasn’t possible to meet their standards as they had hoped w/o requiring crypto hardware.

Or, perhaps, they simply changed their minimum security standards and had to raise requirements as a result.
