Another way to say is "They don't already have that right?". Can't they already get/negotiate work-from-home jobs voluntarily with other equally free people?

I'm not arguing against you, but you're giving the technical, logical explanation to a purposely a-technical and a-logical claim. The vast majority of people (not the ones who think like you or me) simply call the use of force against other people in order to get what they want (the social order they want, etc) "rights", whatever the moral implications (or even practical consequences).
Sex, entertainment, games, movies, health, fitness, education. It's takes a little twisting but you can frame every one of these such that they are in fact problems that need solving.

Yeah it's easy to play word games to describe everything as solution to a problem but that's really just cheating to be able to actually say "every business is the solution to a problem".

For example, "entertainment/games are the solution to boredom". You'd only say that if you really wanted to back the idea that every business must be the solution to a problem.

Hard to argue that Twitter solves a problem, nevertheless there's an awful lot of people using it constantly. In the "every business must solve a problem" world, you could say "Twitter solves the problem of people needing to communicate with all the other people in the world in public conversations", but that's really trying to force it.
I think manually editing your last sentence would be cheating in the context of a speaking app.
Entirely erasing the last sentence of the user (as well as the AI's reply, if any) and having him repeat the sentence he had in mind would be better because it would force him to speak more clearly.

(Also an undo button would be easier to implement than a whole system to edit previous sentences, right?)
Not sure we read the same book then. Because I was commenting on the idea that “life is inherently meaningless and absurd, yet we can find purpose and significance by embracing and confronting this absurdity.”

Interestingly, people also believe both Trump and Musk are playing some kind of 5D chess mere mortals just can't comprehend. And supposedly, both Trump and Musk's staff (outside of Twitter) had systems in place to keep the king's madness in check.

At least people stopped saying that about Trump - I wonder how long it will take Musk's sycophants to realize he's not the genius they think he is.

Hearsay from my friend who lives abroad and who was attending a Democrats abroad function and they kicked him out of the meeting after he suggested that they pass a rule that anybody who could be eligible to be elected to the board of directors should be able to pass a basic tax audit. There was support in the audience but the organizers immediately banned him.

There are stories of the IRS being used as a political weapon floating around online as well.
your feelings about the matter isn't actual data though
The only slight correction I would add here is that the Japanese were not playing to win the war at this point. They were simply playing to not lose. Their calculus was that they could inflict enough casualties on invading forces that any surrender would take into account them, continuing the whole China, Korea, and all of the other Pacific islands that they had seized. casualties were not a bug, they were a feature.

This is what all of the constant debates on hacker news failed to take into regard. If you look at the correspondence and the commentary of the people making decisions, it is quite clear that prior to the atomic bombing, the only side that was trying to minimize casualties was in fact, the United States. In fact, even on the allied side, neither Russia nor the United Kingdom, were particularly concerned with minimizing casualties. Since Stalin felt that he would gladly trade Soviet lives in favor of land that he could hold after the war, and the United Kingdom government was determined to make an example to justify their occupation of Asia .

It’s also worth noting that Nimitz and King, were proposing a path that would’ve led to an order of magnitude more death than either an invasion or the atomic bombs. A fleet blockade of Japan would’ve starved everyone in Japan.

Recording industries have fought end user reproduction often. They’ve fought sampling battles.

Go after the pocketbooks and go after the technology waves. If there’s a derivative argument they can make, they will.
Of course they can be fixed. To say otherwise is nonsense. The questions are:

1. How to do it? My thought is the answer involves building AI's that are much more than just LLM's. You need a system that has knowledge and a world model and common-sense reasoning, etc. When you're doing nothing but "predict the next token based on statistical patterns" then yeah, you're going to get hallucinations.*

2. How much will it cost?

3. How long will it take?

And so on.

* Let me add that that's a very "off the cuff" view of my current thinking on building AI's that are less susceptible to "hallucinations" (or "confabulations" if you prefer). But I'm not saying that is the only way, or that it will ever be possible to construct AI's that never make mistakes at all. After all, our current "gold standard" for intelligence to compare with (eg, human intelligence) is quite prone to making mistakes. So I'm only talking about getting to a level that eliminates the really egregious hallucofabulations (to coin a word).

The basic premise is that it has somewhere in it that is telling it to make more paperclips. Put the constraints there.

If you're saying such an AI would be too smart to be a simple paperclip maximizer, then I'd agree, but then what's the point of the thought experiment if a paperclip maximizer is impossible.
Yes, but part of that time is an investment into the intern's professional development. Everyone started there at some point.

It can be hard to remember though when there are unrealistic deadlines and helping someone inexperienced to do the work is twice the effort.
Yeah, agreed that makes much more sense!
AI will solve web accessibility by screen readers that summarize visual content, ignoring ARIA and making it irrelevant. Multimodal GPT-4 can take a screenshot jpeg and answer questions about what’s in it (buttons, links, ads, headers, etc). The future of accessibility is rendering DOM to jpeg and asking GPT to be your eyes; we’ll look back on semantic markup as a failed idea that was never going to work
No. The two claims are contrapositives of each other:

You just threw me back into time I spent on EKF implementations on early iPads over a decade ago (as an exchange student), as part of a M.Sc. in Control Theory... before I had learnt about KF. The goal was to compensate for the drift observed on the position of those devices which made them useless for the need (art exhibition stuff).

I don't think I even fully completed the project because my understanding of both quaternions and KF were at that point pretty shaky, this could be a fun project to pull with some old hardware now..
> Er, what? GPL is completely fine for corporate use; it doesn't even trigger until you distribute to third parties

A lot of us distribute software. It’s not an outlier, it’s the majority. It may have been a different concern 20 years ago, but software and adoption has changed dramatically.

> It really doesn't. And if you're at a point where you're arguing that BSL is Open Source but GPL isn't... on the bright side, there's no point in arguing after that; you're clearly in a different world than the rest of us.

I’m not. I’m saying that it’s odd to be able to justify GPL as open source yet be unwilling to consider something like BSL as part of the ecosystem. Both have serious restrictions, albeit different. Neither let you “do whatever you want” which some might write is true FOSS.
Respectfully, today people just chuck the entire phone/laptop in the bin. I don’t think making the battery module removable changes the outcome one bit, except that it would allow a tremendous amount more life out of these devices, reducing all the other (non-battery) waste streams and reducing the environmentally costly manufacture of new devices…. which is the reason why the shareholders love the current strategy and why all electronic manufacturers are moving the same way. Why allow users to get 3 more years of life from their laptop when you could convince them it’s e-waste after 3 because of a $15 battery?
Isn’t an AI “hallucination” just the equivalent of going down a wrong path due to closely related or incomplete information in the LLM? I thought that it was possible to “tune” the LLM when this happens?

Maybe “one-size-fits-all” solutions won’t be fixed; but it seems that domain-specific systems should be easily tailored.

> No ips

It sends the information to a remote server, so your IP is obviously shared as well. It also sends a "project_hash" as "distinct_id" which sounds like a unique tracking ID to me.
Wouldn't the company still need to show up and tell the judge that there is an arbitration clause?

Additionally (I am not a lawyer) arbitration does not override any court or have any authority unless authorized by a court. If a party does not cooperate with the arbitration, the other party still has to go to court to convince a judge that the arbitration was good and get the judge to enter a judgement against the noncompliant party.

If as a consumer, you agree to arbitration and it is grossly unfair, you can still go to court and the judge can decide whether or not to use the arbitrators ruling or make their own ruling. The other party would also have to convince a judge that their unfair arbitration was fair.
I’m describing an ideal future state. You’re describing the suboptimal current state. This is why I emphasized “should”.

In my city the police deliberately avoid enforcing basic traffic laws and petty crime in a bid to get more funding. As that continues more and more of my neighbors arm themselves. At some point the scales tip and the people take matters into their own hands.

Police can abuse their power in the short term but it can’t continue forever.
As as a meta comment the dynamics and interplay of language adoption and language evolution is quite fascinating. For whatever reason, a lot of people have learned Python in recent times. Whether the hype is data science, machine learning or AI, the number of users creates its own reality.

So now you have some serious talent looking at the pain points people express about the platform, because ofcourse you want to keep the "devlopers, devlopers, devlopers" happy.

Personally I dont see the attraction of an all python approach to the web. The event driven nature of client side programming has no particular affinity with Python. While JS is clearly a monopoly, it doesnt strike as we are paying a huge price for the lack of alternatives. Maybe its just my lack of imagination. If people complain about JS frameworks is because of the choices and designs and burdens these imply, not the fact they are JS.

The area where an all-Python approach would be a radical new take that opens entirely new horizons is actually not the web, but mobile apps.
I believe a more accurate term would be AI confabulation.

When one confabulates, one shamelessly inserts words which sound smooth and grammatical and potentially acceptable to a listener (and the speaker), but shamelessly with no hesitation or corrections to achieve actual truth.

I suspect there needs to be some layering on of reflection and inhibition to avoid this.
What kind of floppy are we talking about here?
Another problem is the reputation of veterans. While many countries with a closer relationship between military and population (e.g. USA and UK) have managed to make a military career a great feature on your resume, in Germany it‘s almost assumed that you weren’t able to get a proper job and therefore ended up in the Bundeswehr. Enlisting for a couple of years is more or less career suicide so almost noone with a sought after degree would consider it.

If this is really the reason for losing the account, I can't understand why Apple wouldn't just blacklist the credit card and leave the account owner to deal with their bank. Closing their account seems excessive. Especially after contacting them. I doubt too many CC thieves are calling up Apple to explain themselves.
Nice results so far. "Perfect for the beach" is a very funny description of music, because it has nothing to do with the acoustic qualities, so consider these descriptions to be anthropocentric! (As if they could be anything else) It is less about describing the actual sounds you want and more about describing the quality or vibe of the atmosphere. This is markedly different than incremental composition, maybe we can call it "composition by collage." Puts on COLLAGE shirt like in Animal House
But is your worry for the authors, for other platforms, or for customers?

I'm very sympathetic to all of these concerns, at large. However, as things are done, many authors will make the most money by agreeing to this contract, and customers get the cheapest option there. The only people actually getting hurt, right now, are the other platforms. To paint this in any other way is not at all honest. And that is the part that is annoying me.

There is also a moral hazard "they will switch some day" argument to be made, i suppose. But I don't like hinging current practices on future hypotheticals. Making a choice today should be possible with the understanding that you can make a different choice in the future.
>I could've been more precise in my language, but the point was that the big revolution of transistorized technology - the game changing stuff - came much further down the line then the original invention.

This point is really wrong too. It was immediately useful. They could have used the transistors to make unexpected new inventions. There's so many applications, if you were a competent electrical engineer (back then at least), you'd be able to think of many uses.

>A small supply of secret transistors wasn't going to give anyone a massive technological advantage.

That depends on what you're actually holding, and having a handful of microprocessors may not be as useful as you think. Simply owning a few would be of limited utility without computer science, or the developers to make cool stuff. It wouldn't be able to talk to too much. They were doing more than you think with active electronics back then.

You keep barking up the wrong tree. For some background, this is very frustrating, because I've had these discussions repeatedly with "SV types", who can't understand that entire universes of engineering exist outside their comprehension. Meanwhile, fairly minor, poorly adopted tech is something "everyone knows".

People say "it's an SV site" what do you expect? Well, it's also a tech site, and these perspectives are wacky. You can't talk about technology while pretending entire fields don't exist, because they aren't so relevant to you.

Maybe; all have large target markets and the last two have unique things.

That said, let's say you're 100% correct. I went back and forth on whether to even include the rubric, because I myself (the author) think it's a little silly to pretend there's a formula.

I found in early feedback of the article, however, that it forced people to really ask themselves good questions, which they might not have done if they read only the rest.

Therefore, I felt like it was useful for that reason -- posing good questions that folks should answer -- but I agree with you that it does have the problem of being a "formula" that cannot really be accurate.
I'm not sure you can differentiate the horror of what actually happened in Japan with the existential threat posed by the proliferation of thermonuclear devices immediately after the war.

If the threat stayed in the small-kiloton range, I think we'd very likely have seen them used again -- especially if one nation had a monopoly on such weapons.

But that's just a supposition; in the real world, we went from "there are two bombs, and we used 'em on Japan" to massive proliferation of weapons orders of magnitude stronger by opposing superpowers in a really really short period of time.
Everything costs something, and maybe I'm looking at things through US centric politics, but in my experience people who are ideologically opposed to social programs use costs as a way to cloak their ideology in technocratic language and cast themselves as "the sober adults in the room" rather than ideologues.

In truth we waste a stupendous amount of money and human potential by, for instance, introducing a system of unnecessary middle men (insurance companies) to the healthcare system rather than negotiating with pharmaceutical companies as a nation with astronomical buying power.

Human potential, I'll note, is worthy in it's own right, but is also a very valuable through a strictly economic lens. People who meet their potential contribute immensely to the economy, people who aren't able to because their society never bothered to invest in them may contribute not not nearly as much as they could have. Eg, if we hadn't funded NASA, we wouldn't have a space industry (to say nothing of the many other industries that benefited in ancillary ways).
> Ethernet is capacitively coupled

It's usually magnetically coupled. I've only seen capacitive coupling when both devices are on the same PCB
Those are astute observations. There are some sensors that have been considered for AV applications that use these principles - for instance, gated short wave infrared, or FMCW LiDAR. For now, though, they still remain relatively uncommon.
Well consider nearest neighbor upscaling. Since we are upscaling, every pixel in the source image will determine one our more pixels in the result image. Consider one of the source pixels that turns into multiple result pixels. If you manipulate one of those while leaving the other(s) intact you can still recover the source image (assuming you know which pixels are still good), meaning no data was lost.

Not even a week ago, I tried _actually_ using ChatGPT for the first time beyond silly novelty prompts, saw the value immediately, and subscribed to GPT4 like the Fry meme.

Looking at the pretty extensive list of what you're outright not allowed to query on their TOSes and the amount of times I hit the stonewalls, I'll readily point the finger at them. (Yes, invested board members, laws, regulations, snooping state actors, nat'l security, etc., I get it.)

I've been bitten by the bug and am already looking to see what people can really do with these less-encumbered, self-hosted options.

I'll be happy to see the day where the climate looks more like a spectrum than black/white.

Yeah, ESG data is kinda crap at the moment.

At least in the US, there isn't enough regulation to force companies to provide the data needed for an accurate ESG score. The scoring agencies are essentially just guesstimating based on what the companies are willing to expose. So, they're easily manipulated.
Actually, that is not the reason why they should exist. That is the story you are told. But this story has never been true, the propaganda is just a bit more effective these days.
