Google Says It Will Scrape Publishers’ Data for AI Unless Forced Not To

...and, from the study you link to:

> mRNA-1273 vaccine-associated myocardial injury was more common than previously thought, being mild and transient, and more frequent in women versus men.

"Mild and transient" does not describe a heart attack.
I think there is a big difference in terms of data recovery though. You can't take a compression algorithm, for example, and claim that its "just some statistical analysis" when it can reproduce the original perfectly. Heck, even if it can reproduce it approximately, that's a lot different than what we see in this particular example, where the data could not be used to reproduce a text at all.
Heh. Curious, how old are you? When did you start using linux?

I feel like we may be approaching a generational gap in 'brand' equity.
Bush won Texas by 20 points, Trump won it by 9 and 5.5 points respectively. Expect the margin to go down again in 2024.
I'm pretty sure there's nothing revolutionary here, sandbox games have existed for a very long time and that loading transition isn't anything special.
If you use a captcha to secure your service, they can be. See article 4 of the ePrivacy directive. This is also said in section 3.3 of the EDPB guideline.

The issue of Google's reCaptcha, according to the CNIL at least, is that they use data collected through the service for their own purposes. See https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/cnil/id/CNILTEXT000047346903, point 86. Deepl translation below:

> If a data controller can claim exemption from the requirement to provide information and obtain consent when the only purpose of read/write operations carried out on a user's terminal is to secure an authentication mechanism for the benefit of users (see CNIL, FR, September 27, 2021, Sanction, no. SAN-2021-013, published), the situation is different when these operations also pursue other purposes that are not strictly necessary for the provision of a service. The Google reCaptcha mechanism is not intended solely to secure the authentication mechanism for the benefit of users, but also enables Google to carry out analysis operations, as Google itself specifies in its general terms of use.
Hardware companies simply don't pay as much as software companies in industry. I don't fully understand the reasons, because hardware is often more difficult to deal with than software.

That said, I have found that there has been a rash of companies / recruiters reaching out to relatively senior people making offers that wouldn't have been acceptable a decade ago, much less in 2023. I recently had one reach out to me (I'm in Colorado, so they're legally obligated to provide a salary range) about a job that required a very specialized skillset at a senior level that I happen to have (although it's nothing to do with what I do /now/), and the top of the salary range was $20k/yr less than what I was making doing that same work in 2014, almost a decade ago and more than $100k/yr less than I make now. There's a HUGE disconnect between management at most companies, especially in HR roles, and the actual market for specialized technical labor. At least in the US, I attribute this to HR roles treating Department of Labor stats like the gospel, when job categories in DoL aren't modernized and therefore cover such a broad range of subjobs that they are diluted and meaningless, while at the same time average salary is heavily skewed by the fact that largest employer in the US across almost all job categories is the federal government, which has a notoriously low payscale for skilled labor (which attracts exactly the sort of toads on a log you'd expect).

I am not currently in the market for a new job, but I switched roles at the beginning of 2022 and I made it a point of starting my conversations with recruiters by telling them rather directly "I have no concerns about my ability to do whatever is necessary within the job, my only question is are you willing to pay me what I'm worth?" The company I eventually accepted a position at had to go through a lot of internal bureaucracy to make my offer, but only put me through one round of interviewing before they did the legwork to make sure they could make it worth my while before running me through their entire process. I think it's especially rich that HR people think you're wasting /their/ time when they make you an insultingly low offer after extensive interviewing, especially considering there's a massive skills gap between tech workers and HR folks (who are a dime a dozen).
"you'd have to double my pay to get me to commute everyday?"
How is that common sense?

One-liners are meant to be thrown away, so it does not matter if it's pretty or not. If you care enough to keep it, you should consider rewriting it for clarity. That last step does not require using any particular language; e.g. my PS1 started off as an increasingly convoluted one-liner, until I rewrote it in Go.
> If you see where the packets are going you might be able to block at the DNS level.

There are many DNS blocklists out there and some of them do indeed block domain names from known telemetry (aka "spying") services. But if some telemetry directly report to specific IP addresses then blocking at the DNS level won't help.

FWIW my firewall blocks some companies' known IP CIDR blocks (like FB/Meta) and my DNS (unbound) blocks all known malware, porn and telemetry services (among others).

In addition to that the only process allowed to emit ongoing traffic to port 443 is the process running my browser.

All hope is not lost yet.

> The CEO and analyst are both upper class

Class can be more fine-grained than just lower/working-middle-upper

People commonly talk about “upper middle class” vs “lower middle class”, and then I suppose there are even some people in between the two (middle middle class?)

Well, in the same way there is surely lower upper class and upper upper class, and maybe even more levels than that. A person on an annual salary of US$25 million is undeniably upper class but still far beneath the centibillionaire class.

There’s also no clear boundary between upper middle and lower upper. You may think someone on US$250K is “upper class” but they probably only think of themselves as “upper middle class”, and personally I would think the same. In my own head, to really be upper class, your annual income has to be (consistently) measured in millions, not hundreds of thousands.
Personally I don't have a problem with automatically sending the type of telemetry that makes detecting this possible, but Mozilla could also discover this issue by in-house testing on a wide variety of devices, and/or prompting users to submit telemetry after a crash.

It's not feasible for a smaller developer, but it wouldn't be unreasonable for Mozilla to have a big lab bench with like 100 different devices on it that are just constantly running a script to start Firefox and load a suite of test sites.
The different levels of power and seniority is a class within a class. Different levels of money, power, and prestige (which seniority is a proxy for here) is all class is really
OP, you should take a look at Casey Muratori's course at computerenhance.com

The first part of the course's homework creates a simulator of the 1978 intel 8086 (which modern x86_64 assembly still closely resembles). You will learn a lot of things about computers that are really difficult to find elsewhere.
And promptly smack face first into the First Amendment. There is a reason they are going with moral outrage. Because they know they don't have the right.
> How can it seemingly never be acknowledged following the pandemic that young people do, on occasion, have freak events such as cardiac arrest?

How can it seemingly never be acknowledged that most of the data discussed in the story predate the pandemic? The trend really is not new.

People who jump on any occasion to blame a vaccine are just as blind as those who won’t understand that any action in life has risks.

Well, it depends on exactly how you define accident. In general, it would mean an unintended consequence, but arguably, driving whilst drunk and hitting something may be unintended, but not surprising - I wouldn't classify that as an accident as it was preventable and a known consequence of driving under the influence. If a careful driver suddenly has a heart attack and loses control, then I would classify that as an accident.

No, I think Internet average quality is a lot lower than AVIF or JPEG XL at "large". Instead of using such a high bitrate to save a small amount quality, it makes much more sense to use a low bit rate with a significantly higher resolution, and end up with the same file size.

Even cameras often have relatively little detail per pixel, since they do interpolate a lot of information due to the usage of Bayer filters (which record only one primary color per pixel instead of full RGB values), and because anything with less than perfect lighting will be somewhat noisy and blurry anyway.
I believe buckwheat is most appropriate if you are gluten-free, as it isn't in fact a wheat grain at all. It makes very hard crumble though that 'squeaks'... it's a difficult grain to work with.

Hey great work you did there. I'd also like to recommend nand2tetris and its companion book Elements of Computing Systems. If you'd like to dig deep into how a cpu is actually elemented via HDL.
Is it important that you understand cache eviction algorithms well enough that you can look at a description of an algorithm and see how it applies to your system? Yes. And if memorising is the way you gain that ability, then memorising is what you need to do.

And what is it important for? Why, for making sure that your software makes efficient use of system resources. This is essential if you're writing application software that's used by other people – but if you're writing server-side code, or some one-a-month business-logic data-processing scripts, or code that's only ever going to run on five specific machines, it's not that big of a deal. I haven't needed this skill yet.
Hey who let David Sacks enter our chat ^
Have you heard of phrases like "old money" and "new money"? Or "upper middle" and "lower upper"?

The reason they're used more is because there is a very clear distinction between groups even at high levels of wealth due to the need to socially signal. This is what causes CEOs to flip out that an analyst is trying to casually talk to them at a non-work event as if they are equals.

This is class dynamics in action, it's not all about the working class vs upper class, but how these different classes interact internally and externally.
I had to get a second desk in my place for WFH. It was way too jarring to log off and keep sitting in the same spot. Contextual learning made me feel awkward to browse Reddit “at work”.

Given my space, my WFH desk is much crappier and smaller than my personal one, but still so much better than losing my life commuting.
Thank you. There is no need to be sorry. I'm grateful for the opportunity to clarify things.
Why is that bad news?
Posting may be OK, but I hope thay those two ladies in the picture found their way out.
This is very impressive at 17, and her Github activity. So age definitely qualifies. We were fascinated with Mark Zuckerberg, or Bill Gates at their ages, so this isn't anything new. Doing anything remarkable at a young age is impressive and worthy to be noted.

This is a young person making strides in a hard field, and quite different from majority of peers at their age, but especially today with short attention spans, and TikTok, gaming, other distractions.

Another point is many high schools tend to coddle their students even for very little accomplishments. I was surprised by the attention one 16 yr old student got for making an interesting yet simple science explainer about the sleep cycle. She won the award in the Breakthrough challenge competition, got a 250K scholarship, and given feedback to the tune that she would cure cancer.

There's also a huge competitive gap between US High schools today on average, than many other countries. It would be great for the US system to challenge HS students again and reward real accomplishment.
> If people used those, maybe secret telemetry wouldn't be required.

That argument is simple extortion. Secret telemetry is never required, period.

If people are unwilling to volunteer such data, then the devs simply have to do without. If that means that software won't improve[1], too bad.

[1] Which isn't what that means. Software has always been improving even back when spying on people wasn't a feasible thing to do at scale, so spying is clearly not necessary. It's just cheaper than the old ways.
We seem to always focus on the cost of the patent system, never the benefit.

One day we will all be dead (or much older) and all of these features and patents will be freely available, described in significant detail to be reproducible, and the world will be a slightly more amazing place than it is now.

If you look at all the expiring patents, many filed 20 years ago, you will find there are some neat things documented. It is awesome those are all available for use. The quid pro quo of the patent system is the other end of the pipe.
There's a weird phenomenon I've started noticing when watching streaming shows where I keep thinking a commercial break would be nice. Even on shows built for streaming.

It's not that I want the ads so much as I want a short break from consuming the content.
If your concern is that it's present in breast milk, it seems pretty easy to address - feed the baby formula while the mother is taking the medication, and about a week after (I am not a doctor, this is not medical advice).

Presumably, that's why prescribing information says:

> The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for ZURZUVAE and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from ZURZUVAE or from the underlying maternal condition.

The benefits are presumably being weighed because they don't anticipate the mother breastfeeding the infant while she is on the medication.

Have you considered that perhaps they didn't test it on infants, not because they're a corrupt rubber stamp, but because there is no ethical way to do so? There is no possible benefit to the infant, but there is potential risk; that would violate the principle, "first, do no harm."

Why put children at risk when the problem is avoidable in the first place by not breastfeeding?
Agreed. I was going to point that out as well but a few other comments addressed the dating of the sources so I instead just wanted to address the people who read the title and were ready to jump into the comments to beat a dead horse.
A few years ago I was doing Android native development. Back then Samsung as well as Huawei (and other cheap Chinese vendors) have been known to be doing weird things to the operating system and in Google Play console there'd often be wild device-specific crashes coming from those vendored Androids.

I never loved Samsung devices but since then I avoid them even more.
This site has a list of phones with the same CPU as the Samsung Galaxy S20 they mentioned. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/qualcomm/snapdragon_800/865

I wonder if it happens to them too?

Do you want to share with us how that belief is incorrect?

It seems downright trivial to me that giving employees 4' desks packed side to side, back to back in rows requires less square footage and no walls, vs. an office.

(And thus, the race for short-term gains in terms of less real estate trumped the long-term gains of SWE being able to think, and the race to the bottom began. It seems to me the costs of open-office are all after the build out: lower morale, higher noise, lower productivity, faster disease transmission, etc.…)

Oh, I’ll go back to the office for a very significant pay rise. That’s the only reason, though.
It looks like ups have decided that they want to pay their drivers something in the region of $175,000 in order to do their business though.

If they didn’t want to pay that then they could pay less but then those drivers might not think that’s fair and then go work for someone else, it might not be for $175k but it’s their choice at that point.

Some people like both and are happy with some balance. It’s nice not to have to commute, but it’s also nice to see colleagues and have a place to work outside home.
> when all they needed to do was reboot.

That's not fixing the problem: that's ignoring it. Which might be the right decision if you need the computer to work now, but fixing it would mean it never happens again.
If you walk past schools in higher end neighborhoods in wealthy states like California, you'll notice that far far children fewer have this issue. For example in SF and LA, I see very little adult or childhood obese people from casual observation, then when I return home to Illinois, it's shocking. People look afflicted. And this is coming from a not-skinny person, 6 foot, 190 odd lbs. I'm no picture of health.

By and large, the issue seems to be confined to the south and cornfed middle states who have an absolute explosion of childhood obesity. And it seems to have some association with some combination of factors of money, weather, and urbanism, but I don't know how/why.
>It's also a very good idea to write these types of resources when you teach yourself something new because it clarifies your thought process and helps you identify parts that are still unclear even though you initially thought you understadn them etc.

The authors quotes speak for themselves. They very clearly and ignorantly claimed that this was an "AI training project" when it was nothing of the sort.
Is not usual, but can happen in some species

Not necessarily a clone because sometimes happens in several steps. For example, horse x donkey hybrids are sterile in principle, but if just by chance they produce an ovule keeping only the DNA of one of their parents, it can be fecundated. A female mule can deliver a foal that is either a pure horse or a pure donkey, never another mule.

New Embraer E2 Is Making a Comeback. Here's Why [video]
Distance from home to the office is an enormous factor to me. I’m currently an 8 minute bike ride or 25 minute walk from my office, and prefer going in. But, 10 years ago, when it was a 30 minute bike ride or drive, I would’ve loved to WFH.
Yeah. I was gonna say something about Garry's Mod entering the room.
Weird response to ad hominem my karma, so let me explain something to you since you're new here.

It is usage over time. For all those years, I didn't use the site, then I got all that karma, in one month of comments.

No way to analyze that though, is there.
It says nothing. They don't "scramble" your brain, or artificially make you happy, or any of the other ignorant things people have said. You are exactly the same person on AD as you are off of them.

This is like pretending that anyone who gets antibiotics is weak and if you just exercise, you can beat infected wounds.

Before antibiotics, people just died from wounds. Before AD, people spent their whole lives trapped by things we can do something about now.
This is the correct answer.

I'd much rather just find another job entirely than come back to an office, and I imagine a lot of people feel the same. I think part of the problem is that a lot of companies don't really appreciate what people would be giving up, or that they see much less value in it than the people they're trying to convince.

You'd need to offer something pretty special just to compensate for the cost of the commute, let alone the time lost (which for a lot of people is significant).
In PG only one can use logical or streaming replication. Then all reads to the replica and writes to main. App needs two connections - one for read, one for write.
