There's a community of people who really seek out "AI girlfriends". Once or twice a year I sort of peek in and see what they are doing.

What surprises me is how bad the tech is. It's "mediocre chatbot" level currently and yet these people are VERY happy with it, spending hundreds a month and having all sort of custom artwork done.

For a meaningful percentage of the pop, very low fidelity tech, even at an extreme price, is enough.
What was the workflow to create the icon? It looks great.
This is the Intel recommended exception handler:

• Store the NPX environment (control, status, and tag words, operand and instruction pointers) as it existed at the time of the exception.

• Clear the exception bits in the status word.

• Enable interrupts on the CPU.

• Identify the exception by examining the status and control words in the save environment.

• Take some system-dependent action to rectify the exception.

• Return to the interrupted program and resume normal execution.

and one of the examples for writing the handler is this:

SAVE_ENVIRONMENT PROC
;
; SAVE CPU REGISTERS, ALLOCATE STACK SPACE FOR 80287 ENVIRONMENT
PUSH BP

MOV BP,SP
SUB SP, 14
; SAVE ENVIRONMENT, WAIT FOR COMPLETION,
; ENABLE CPU INTERRUPTS
FNSTENV [BP-14]
FWAIT
STI
;
; APPLICATION EXCEPTION-HANDLING CODE GOES HERE
;
; CLEAR EXCEPTION FLAGS IN STATUS WORD
; RESTORE MODIFIED

MOV BYTE PTR [BP-12] , 0H
FLDENV [BP-14]
; DE-ALLOCATE STACK SPACE, RESTORE CPU REGISTERS
MOV SP,BP
POP BP
;
; RETURN TO INTERRUPTED CALCULATION
IRET
SAVE_ENVIRONMENT ENDP

Make of that as you like. I am somewhat curious about what happened here.

I did not read it that way and I think that she would have phrased it differently if so.

“an industry where women get to call the shots” she would have said “would get” imo if your interpretation was correct, just as you use ‘would’ in your comment.

I took her to be describing sex work in the present, not some hypothetical future sex work.

Here is the excerpt for those who want to judge for themselves:

‘Unlike sex work, my “good” jobs didn’t threaten to overthrow traditional power structures. Many sex workers, including myself, have long hypothesized that the reason so many people in power work to keep the commercial sex trade marginalized is because they’re threatened by it—by the idea that it’s the only field where women outearn men, that it’s an industry where women get to call the shots, and that women profit off something that men have been told they’re entitled to for free: sex and attention in equal parts. In my experience of the corporate landscape, there was none of this radical power structure, only an upholding of the traditional: men talking and women listening, men in powerful positions getting both credit and profit for the labour of women beneath them’
They literally said they believe the pyramid of needs to be upside down, so you'd have self-actualization at the bottom, and food and shelter at the top.
She also doesn't know how many of those office drones also "paid their dues". But that's a nitpick on an excellent piece of first-person journalism.
thank you - I appreciate it.
This seems a subtle shift in general with AI is people feel entitled to treat it as an end in itself or a black box. The agreement says they can use "User Content" for:

> the purpose of product and service development, marketing, analytics, quality assurance, machine learning, artificial intelligence, training, testing, improvement of the Services, Software

So notice most of these are somehow qualified to the service they are providing you, but the AI part stands alone. If it was to improve the service to me, that would be pretty reasonable, but here it says they can use it for AI as an end unto itself.

Something about the inscrutability of modern AI (nobody knows how it really works, what the limits of its capabilities are etc.) seems to lend itself to this kind of open ended vagueness. If they just wrote "we can use your user generated content for anything we like" it would almost amount to the same thing but people would be outraged. But when they say "it's for AI" everyone nods their head as if it's somehow different to that.

> 14 vastly different experiment of the caliber described in that post in the course of one semester

My one remaining did-not-graduate nightmare is that I never completed that course. And I was an experimentalist.

Had a summer student work on my nearly-intractable dissertation experiment. He immediately switched to theory.
Having lived there for a year, I agree about the flakiness

However, along with that comes an openness to experiences from people: If you do anything creative, you will be surprised how much the median person in the Bay will be sincerely into it

Less of the "why would anyone do something like that" attitude I found in the Midwest or East Coast when I show people the stuff I do.

Yes, a pretty lame and short-sighted decision by product management. Suddenly, millions of perfectly good links to resources stopped working without a 3rd party FTP client.

Does Safari still support FTP?

It would be remarkable if Brave re-enabled support for FTP. It increasingly seems like Brave is our best hope for a pro-user, pro-usability web browser.

Well, it looks like something, but if you're not talking to me that it's water, I can not say. I just have a strange feeling about it. It's not water, it's something different. I don't know why, maybe it's the way you visualize, or maybe it's just the two-dimensional nature of the simulation. Or maybe it's the reflection, maybe it's the post-processing procedure. We don't have some ray tracing, we don't have those normal calculations, reflection index, all those crazy stuff.
I've seen other people say that people in NYC are notoriously flaky.
It takes just 20-40 seconds to generate an AR experience, and all that is needed is a smartphone and the Shader app. It provinces a new way to make videos with its AR-first video creation tool that anyone can use.
Four engines shutting down isn’t great, but not the end of the world either. I’d give a tasty beverage to know the details behind each one, though.

It would be even more useful to know if the entire test was cut short by the four engine shutdowns, or if some other, “global” reason (tank pressures, temperatures, who knows?) caused the test to abort.

Happily, being SpaceX, we will probably find out on TwitterX tomorrow.
The most popular spots aren’t necessarily the best spots, and somehow no matter how many taquerias there are in the Mission, new ones continue to come in and figure out how to do it better.

If you haven’t yet, check out Al Carajo, Loltun, El Patron, Tacos del Barrio (who do al pastor on a proper trompo), and El Charro (a little, probably unpermitted stand on the sidewalk at 18th & Mission who somehow also have a trompo set up for al pastor).
Because nobody cared.

No consequences, profit-driven company, metric-driven agencies, nobody cared.

Constructing a modern-day criminal justice system from the ashes of the Bad Old Days is going to be a project for our generation or the next or the next after that, but it probably requires burning things to the ground.

In the meantime: Most of the liberal democratic ideals you and I were raised on with regard to criminal justice were from academia musing on what should be, or from copaganda television shows lying about what is. They live in our heads - if you want them to be real, you have to make them real.
Ah, I see, one interesting part is how the LLM generates a summary of the shown "cards" and weaves a narrative together. Interesting and unconventional use of an LLM.

..

It seems to me that the only thing that "works" about Tarot cards is that they allow the "user" to generate a semi-prompted narrative via symbolically rich-enough images and concepts. The rest is either hopeful thinking, a reflection of one's emotional state, rationalization or some combo thereof. This makes me wonder: do people like having ever aspect of a tarot "reading" laid out for them? Or do they get more out of their own interpretation?

I don’t recall any shareware back then having open source access to the dos,windows programs just floppy disk shared binaries. The reality was before the always on internet and broadband speeds, malware was very rare, but viruses were ubiquitous on shared floppies but more of nuisance. Floppies with shareware by named distributors we’re unlikely to have virus unlike online boards or floppies handed around student to student back in the day.
This place: Money in, nothing out.

If this is the crux of the issue for you, I assume you don't frequent the following places:

The impression she seemed to be making was that many of their patrons weren't there for physical gratification but rather a sort of emotional catharsis. Yours is a highly judgmental and uncharitable take.

> It doesn't imply that it's matching black people to white perpetrators. The claim is that A) the model itself is worse at matching for black faces and B) the database being searched against is often disproportionately made up of black faces.

Right, I understand that in the context of this specific quote, but the article implies that claim.

> Give it a photo of a black person to search on and you're probably getting a black person as a match, but the likelihood that it's actually the same person is lower than it would be if you were searching for a white person.

Lower, but by how much? The number given here is six in all. It feels very premature to use probably in that sentence. (Edit: misread that as you’re probably going to get a match)

> The quote doesn't say it's increasing arrest rates for black people, but arrest rates for innocent black people.

I meant this quote from the article: “facial recognition leads police departments to arrest Black people at disproportionately high rates.”

But I agree. It seems that there is a disparity in accuracy, it’s very unclear on how much of one but so far it appears that we’re talking about a fraction of a percent. We only have a sample size of six to draw on. We don’t know the demographics of the districts this has been employed in, and it seems strange to assume that they’re the same as the American population at large. I mean the first example is from Detroit.
This is the game that taught me how to change my mind and also that I have an active role in developing myself into a person who I want to be.

It turned me from a passive observer of my own story to a white knuckled driver of my own self narrative. It's something I'll be eternally grateful for.

I'm sure the one hotel you stayed at was far from residential areas (I'm assuming you mean areas with Singe Family Homes). From what I can see, the majority of hotels I checked are near apartments and/or SFH neighborhoods. If Google wanted to find a handful of hotels meeting that criteria, it could.

> And that really isn’t the point, there are probably no shuttles in MTV other than the Caltrain station one. If we are talking about other areas in the bay, it’s the same

Are you suggesting Google, which is headquartered in Mountain View, and runs its own bus lines for employees in the bay, doesn't have shuttle-stops in MTV?! If so, then I don't believe you.
"could be less productive"

whats the chances whoever wrote this has never been in an "open office" before? I can hear everyone's personal conversations and it's distracting as hell

It really is. And it's not good software. The UI looks decidedly amateur, and some of the modules are absolute garbage amateur hour (one I see a lot in my job is the ED track board, which captures information from the ED charge nurse about incoming ambulances, bed holds and cleaning needs, and gives a picture on what the ED might look like in the next hour or so).

It looks like a VB app from the 90s. Text layout is poor, often overflowing boxes, it's not customizable.

Epic is where it is because hospitals are so fucking locked in.
The studied problem is that with representation in tech at all levels, the product wouldn’t have been released at all or greenlit to begin with.

I agree that “the most qualified person for the job should be hired”, we just dont agree when I point out those qualifications have nothing to do with prior professional pedigree or academic name branding, as opposed to having a different background since that would be more useful here to say “hey wait a minute this product doesnt work”

sparing all of us from the debate and just having better technology
Of course people don't know what they want, but saying people don't know enough is irrelevant. What is relevant is the capacity you may have at convincing them they should follow your lead. That's it.

I do when I take the bus to work. I didn't have a single head cold (or COVID), late 2019-2023. If wearing masks prevents respiratory flu/head colds/whatever, I'm going to wear a mask. I do wear KN-95 masks and I'm careful about fit.
I'd say it is a bad idea because you're not going to succeed at it.
If they simply acknowledged that and said "we are making a tax on tech social/search companies" and then that they were distributing the proceeds of that to news/media? I'd be fine with it. It's the theatrics that are the problem - pretending the underlying issue is social/search "stealing" content from news media.

This isn't benign - setting precedents that linking to something is stealing it is toxic to the whole concept of the internet itself. It may take a while to seep through but that precedent is going to get built on by every other aggrieved party who sees an opportunity there eventually.
Be sure to read the whole thing. It gets better and better (or worse and worse...)
I used to weld in a shipyard, and one of the things I miss about it was that literally everyone I worked with was skilled and knowledgeable about our work. There was literally no way to fake being able to do what we did, so all the ego-first blowhards crashed out before they could affect our day-to-day much.

It was refreshing.

It could still be the MSG for some people. My post-doc research was related to Parkinson's disease. Glutamate toxicity is a recognized aspect of the disease [1]. Furthermore, glutamate is a neurotransmitter. Many of the receptors hit by glutamate are targets of anti-migraine meds [2]. Sure, for most the dietary glutamate may have little effect on blood glutamate concentrations. However, if MSG does readily enter the blood of certain people, migraines could certainly be a possibility.

> perceptive and incisive thinkers

Alternatively, people who live in a bubble and don't give a damn about real horror, like what is happening to the uyghurs, or child trafficking in the US, or the US government selling guns to drug cartels via operation fast and furious under president Obama, or any number of self-induced things that are genuinely bad.

The fact that Google has built a browser, indexes websites for searching, has an advertising business, and also a mobile phone operating system is NOT horror.

It is, at worst, a plot in an incredibly boring legal drama.
I wonder if problems like this would be drastically reduced if there was an instant, automatic compensation offered in any case of mistaken arrest, like $5,000 or something.
Epic provides support for their implementation of the standard.

Any person working in healthcare software, which I did for 15 years, knows that for every standard there is a myriad of vendor implementations, bugs, hacks, workarounds, and just saying "System A speaks FHIR and System B does too" does not mean you can just load an EHR dataset from A into B and have all the information usable.

Not a placebo... I can feel the effects of msg. It is there.
Why? For the record, in my early twenties I moved to a city, fell in with a bad crowd, was robbed of my savings, and ended up living in my car for a time. I lost almost a pound a day that month. At no point did I start thinking differently, like a reptile or robot (or whatever you're imagining), or stop thinking about myself as a personality or a soul. Soft-science textbooks are manipulative bullshit.
How would floss not add any value? It literally removes food particles that otherwise would feed bacteria that cause cavities and bad breath.

It was hard to take the rest of your comment seriously after that, and only reinforces the “europeans have bad teeth” stereotype.
99% is bombastic. What I would say is that the median scientific paper is wrong and back that up with a very long list of things that could make a paper "wrong" or "not even wrong". In the case of physics, everything about string theory may be one day considered "wrong". In the case of medicine all the studies where N < 1/10 the number it would take to draw a reliable conclusion are wrong.
I don’t think the question is about Zoom’s safeguards which are audited, and as you say almost certainly stronger than HIPAA requirements, but rather whether they can use the stored PHI for product development where the law appears ambiguous.
Yeah you can get fantastic food in SF but it requires maybe more effort to find than in other big Metros. I would speculate it's the fact that a lot of folks are vegetarian and therefore tend to cook for themselves at home: The fact that they are no longer in the "restaurant eating" pool of people negatively impacts the restaurant scene.

Also, California restaurants tend to emphasize ingredient quality over other factors- I don't know what's in a slice of pizza when I go to New York, all I know is it is delicious.

Again, just wildly speculating here
>computers are orders of magnitude nimbler than what experience in our day-to-day

True but that's looking at it from only a technical POV. The market clearly doesn't care about some extra latency, and in return bloat means a massive decrease in the cost and time taken to develop software. Electron allows a company to use a single team of web devs (most common skillset, cheaper labor pool) cross-platform, why would they give that up for better performance? The bloat will keep piling as long as that's the case.
I meant specifically what organization did you use for "not easily orderable" data. Or was i wrong in assuming you meant simply lack of (natural number like) order and didn't mean total lack of clear classifiability?
If there were a fixed amount of such drivers, sure. There's always people turning 16, though.

I grew up in the Bay Area my whole life. I simply wouldn't want to live anywhere else. The natural beauty, the politics[1], the community, the employment options.

I agree with the article on niche interests. I am a queer polyamorous trans woman and Oakland (which I consider basically "SF" for the purposes of this discussion) is a hell of a place for people like me. I think there are very few places where I could find the kind of queer community I have found here. I also recently joined an artists collective and I have been helping work on burning man art as a group, that is really cool to work with others on something like that! I can't say which city is best if you are a straight white dude working remote for a FAANG company, but for the kind of community I want, this place is a dream.

[1] On politics - I actually do not really want to talk about "SF politics" on hacker news because it is instant flamewar territory, but all I will say is I am NOT talking about the specific decisions of San Francisco politicians, which seems to be a HUGE mess and very wrapped up in special interests. I am talking about the political ideologies of regular people. As a trans woman I can walk around here and feel perfectly confident that NO ONE is going to be weird or threatening to me because of my identity. People can be gay or trans here and no one gives a shit. I can get the health care I need without issue. If I lived in London it would have been extremely hard to get the healthcare I need. And then there are other things, like the guy I saw today wearing a "#schoolsnotprisons" t-shirt. YES! I very much agree with this. And then Oakland decriminalized mushrooms (and Santa Cruz, and maybe SF did too) and there is a big push to legalize more drugs here. These are the kinds of things I mean when I say SF politics - the politics of the regular people.
