In Germany, you can still get such devices (for people who don't own smartphones, presumably), but it seems a bit like banks are discouraging them and in any case, they make you pay for them (a one-time cost only, though). So most people will use the smartphone app.

The old boxes won't work anymore though. The reason is that with the EU directive PSD2, it became mandated that the codes be tied to the transaction in some way. So the newer devices need some way of reading the transaction info before generating the code, e.g. a QR reader.
Fireworks was the best. Not compared to the crazy stuff Photoshop can do these days with 3D models and all that AI wizardry, but unlike Photoshop Fireworks could be used to draw box with a border using it's shape tool like Visio. I would use it to create web layouts for what would become DIVs in web design. And then there's Director, which was pretty powerful at the time they retired it. I think I still have a copy of the final version. Nothing beats that stacked timeline with scriptable frames and how it ultimately made it into Flash (formerly FutureSplash). Those were the days. I think I still have all the digital books for those products.
I don't have proof, but I'm willing to bet that it happens a lot more in China than here in the US.

Going deep into personalization on Google.com (answering queries using your signed in data across other google properties) feels like high risk low reward. In a post gdpr & right to be forgotten environment they know they have targets on their back. Is super deep personalization really worth getting slapped with megafines?

I am not sure, but I was actually very surprised by how many supporters actually consistently came on the platform to leave supporting messages to lonely people. At one point, there were more supporters wanting to support than lonely people needing support haha

And a couple of very interesting occasions were when the people who initially reported 'lonely' decided to become 'supporters' because they wanted to give back to the community for the support they got, and wanted to help others who are in need more than themselves. I found that very touching :')
Awesome! All I could do at 17 was chase skirt and get drunk.
> Why don't more companies publish either a specification for their API or an API client on a website like GitHub?

Being API-first and caring about the developer experience (DX) is still a new phenomenon. Companies like Twilio and Stripe differentiated in DX. Now there's a whole category of API-first startups like seam.co (API for IoT devices), merge.dev (unified API for 180+ integrations), and stytch.com (API for authentication) who publish API clients in major languages like Node.js, Python, Java, and Go. They also publish their OpenAPI specs in case you use a long-tail language and want to generate a client yourself.

IMO, in the next 5 years, it'll become the norm to offer clients if you have a public REST API.
I see in the Netherlands church is financed by donors, which sounds better. But here in Poland we have an even worse variant than in Germany: the Church receives money from the government every year. The quantity doesn’t depend on the number of members. In fact, even though there was a huge wave of apostasies, the amount of money grows asymptotically year after year. So everyone, regardless of membership (no opt-out), has their money given to the church and the amount seems to be going in the opposite direction than membership. That’s strictly worse than in Germany.

So there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of OpenAI, and anyone looking at my comment history will see that I'm not shy about calling them out on real things (the F-you name, the crazy "is this even legal?" structure, the continued insistence this isn't for the personal benefit of the people involved, the lobbying, the arms-length affiliation with the dystopian biometrics thing, the list goes on).

But this and a few other recent headlines around the ChatGPT/Instruct frontend to the 3.5-turbo and 4-series models having stability issues isn't a reasonable thing to get on their case about: what company operating at that kind of scale doesn't have stability/quality issues? If anything it's really friggin impressive how little operational bleed they've had on what is arguably the toughest ops problem a major Internet property has ever faced at launch. How the hell do you even smoke test something like that?

Now to the extent that they say or imply that we're not all getting A/B-tested at a minimum, and more likely explore-exploit bandited against inference costs, that's almost certainly horseshit: they clearly started selling the 4-series at least and probably all of them at a loss on the inference, and they've clearly been playing with ways to control costs (Rich Uncle Nadella's patience with loss-leaders is most likely finite, being as he's not running a charity and all).

But as someone who finds a lot of this loathsome on the social and business side, I'm not going to knock an engineering and ops group for tripping up here and there on a problem that hard. That's not fair.
American here. America is a very large country. I have traveled to many places across the world, and while there are interesting and beautiful places elsewhere, there are just as many beautiful and interesting places here in the United States. Travelling internationally is overrated. People forget how enormous the U.S. is and how isolated and beautiful many parts of it is.

You're probably getting some downvotes for saying it's the best country, as that is very subjective and depends how you measure. You're also probably getting downvotes because of your dismissive-ness.
I'm not sure if the law is the same in Canada, but in the U.S., you are not legally liable for something you receive by failing to refuse delivery. This is a law put in place to protect businesses (or anyone) from being shipped something expensive that they didn't order, and then being sent an invoice, and on failing to pay the invoice, getting sued for non-payment because they have the item in their possession. In the 90s, this was commonly done with cheaply printed multi-volume business directories that would invoice for thousands of dollars.

Aside from the customs charge fight with UPS, where she's absolutely in the right, I don't understand why this is causing her stress. If she's a bogus return address, then no one is coming to get the items and there's no expectation on her to do anything in particular with the items. She can keep what she likes and throw out the rest.
We run an educational blog for our saas product and we get some legit emails from readers but also a lot of the spam and some of it is scary good.

They feed in so much context that it does appear to be a real person and it ends up wasting a lot of time and honestly it's quite hurtful. We spend a lot of time sharing our stuff and these fake connections are a major turnoff.

Recently we encountered a wave of "awards shortlist" sort of emails written by AI with deep context that will cosider us for award for one easy payment! Except they always forget to tune the topic as we're not running software security service, we cover web scraping.

I feel like AI will kill email communication between strangers. It's getting so exhausting.
People get arrested for lots of things, sometimes it is taking pictures that they shouldn't take, but had no idea that they couldn't take those pictures. In China, you can get arrested for taking pictures of pretty much anywhere, subject to whims of course (they can't put all tourists in prison or they would have no tourist industry).

In America, you can take pictures of anything you want as long as you are allowed to be there. Some Chinese guy could (and often do!) take a picture of an Aircraft Carrier in port in San Diego and not go to jail for spying, while some American guy doing the same thing in Qingdao is in huge trouble if the police decide to bother. This is in a perfectly touristy place, where you could just be taking pictures of scenery or something.

The only issue is when you gain access to somewhere you aren't supposed to be (say a military base) and start taking pictures; e.g. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdfl/pr/three-chinese-nationals.... In that case, the judge is going to take into account if they knew they were in an naval air station or not (rather than strolling along the road in San Diego).

> Not to call out on a bad advice, but as a tourist I personally prefer "no one cares about you once you've passed customs, just don't be evil" countries. I'd rather talk my way out of an awkward situation, than risk getting in a "rule of law" trouble for accidentally making a wrong turn and breaking a vague traffic rule on an empty road.

At least go to countries where the laws aren't considered state secrets. Because if what they can get you for is a secret, you are screwed (but in general, you are screwed anyways, because laws in those countries are just tools anyways). And yes, don't be an evil jerk and 99.9% of the time nothing is happening to you, but in the USA you usually just need a good lawyer while in China you are at the mercy of whether the local party official wants to make an example of you or not.

Anyways, if you are afraid of rule of law, don't go to Singapore. They will fine you a few thousand dollars for making that wrong turn, or stopping at the wrong time...etc...the exact opposite of China actually.

You've gone too far in the other direction. Mania can be extreme, far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine "very motivated" to mean. Deeply irrational grandiose thinking is common. Either mania or depression can involve psychosis, hallucination, or catatonia.

This is an amazing article. It is the best advert for Idris and Zig, and it is very convincing.

The gist, for those who lack the patience, is that a programming language should not have separate languages for defining code to run at compile-time, i.e. types (which can be code, because the type system could be [should be!] Turing complete), and code to run at run-time. That having the same language for both is not just very powerful, but that it leads to less repetition and less frustration and -most importantly- lower cognitive load.

TFA is a masterpiece.
> Stable Diffusion and other AI models however create unauthorised derivative works.

This is a conclusion of law for which neither relevant facts nor legal analysis reaching the conclusion from the facts is presented. Its not even clear what the alleged “unauthorized derivative works” would be; it clearly can’t be images created by the model through prompting alone, since the copyright office determination that they lack the requisite human creativity to be works within the scope of copyright law necessarily means they cannot be derivative works.

We worked on it for the past 5 months, with me quitting my job at Apple to work on this full time, so it has been quite the journey!

All the voice notes and locations are anonymized, as in, the database for userId and email is separate from anonymized Id linked to the voice and location data.

Specifically, I use AWS Cognito for the email addresses, and DynamoDB for anonymized ID : voice notes and location data.

If you have a better suggestion, please let me know!
To be clear, I'm not comparing China and the US broadly.

I'm saying with the Huawei exec, we started it and we were over the line. Arresting a foreign national for activities not on our soil which are not illegal in their home country, just because we had the opportunity to grab her. Almost any other topic they are worse than us on legal fairness issues.
Nothing, really. I just abandoned 1:1 pixel design all together, because that's how I used Fireworks. I would do everything based on pixel ratios between objects. It kind of defined my art style since everything was geometric to some extent. Now I'll just sorta eyeball everything in Photoshop or Illustrator.

Affinity Designer seems to actually get kinda close to the OG Fireworks, at least on the surface, but I haven't really used it much, just casually played around with it.
Affinity Designer is one, but I can’t say how much it’s like Freehand

In a major site redesign a couple years ago, we dropped 3/4 of our old URLs, and saw a big improvement in SEO metrics.

I know it doesn’t make sense and that Google says it is not necessary. But it clearly worked for us.

I think a fundamental truth about Google Search is that no one understands how it actually works anymore, including Google. They announce search algorithm updates with specific goals… and then silently roll out tweaks, more updates, etc. when the predicted effect doesn’t show up.

I think the idea that Google is in control and all the SEOs are just guessing, is wrong. I think it’s become a complex enough ML system that now all anyone can do is observe and adjust, including Google.
The demand for food delivery still exists and plenty of other companies would fill the void, that's how the free market works. Right now these apps are exploiting workers so they can pocket more money for shareholders and paper over a failing business model.
> A nicer office makes things better but it will not change people's minds on WFH.

Disagree with caveats. A nice private office makes a world of difference. I'll do a lot (in time and/or money) to have a nice private office where I can actually work (which requires silence).

Working remotely is awesome but not literally from home. With a family, that's too distracting. Since the pandemic, I rent a small private office walking distance from home. It's a great arrangement, I'm very close to the house, can walk or bike there, private window office. But the downside is that it costs money (lease, utilities, internet). And for meetings I'm still stuck in a little zoom box.

If the company offered a nice private office, I'd take that. I'd save the costs and I could have a silent private space to work but still be able to step outside and have meetings in person. The tradeoff is a longer commute but as long as it's not too horrible, I'd take it.
Maybe not related to the age of the content but more content can definitely penalize you. I recently added a sitemap to my site, which increased the amount of indexed pages, but it caused a massive drop in search traffic (from 500 clicks/day to 10 clicks/day). I tried deleting the sitemap, but it didn't help unfortunately.
I've noticed a substantial drop in the performance and usefulness of Chat GTP 4. It makes me think that OpenAI created Chat GTP almost by accident because they do not seem capable of refining and improving their model.

> Can you comment on how difficult it was to achieve this, and what the relative advantages b/w cards?

Thanks for asking! I personally believe TVM Unity is a proper software stack for ML compilation (MLC), and its existing optimizations (e.g. TensorCore offloading) can be transparently transferred to AMD/Intel/Apple/mobile GPUs without too much engineering effort.

Of course my claim is limited to ML workloads. Not an expert outside the ML world, so I couldn't say for general HPC.
The arrest by Canada (not the USA) was justified on Canada's part because of their extradition treaty with us and the USA had a warrant for her arrest. Due process in Canada decided that the Americans didn't have a case for extradition, which was also their right. One can argue that America should have seen the flaws in the extradition case that Canadian due process did, but the case never went to trial in the USA so we will never know if due process in the USA would have come to a similar conclusion as well.
Did any of those people owe money to an American company or were they all detained for criminal offenses?

The fact that sometimes you can't leave isn't the story. The fact that a citizen business can report theft and block your right to go home is.

Generally speaking I expect Vulkan to be slower than ROCm given it's designed for generic gaming across GPU vendors, so the takeaway is, whenever ROCm is available and usable, we should use ROCm. And it's the same for CUDA vs Vulkan.
From someone who's been there: please don't do anything hasty--except maybe leave your job. The "majors" are uniformly toxic.

Talk to your boss, or their boss. Even taking a totally cynical view of life, they don't want suicides on their watch because it looks bad on their performance reviews, so they'll do anything to help you. If you can't do that, because they're sociopathic assholes, walk out the door. Really walk out the door, and don't look back.

Just keeping yourself alive makes you a worthwhile human being. You're contributing to to greater good if you do only that.

Your job is not who you are and it never should be.

If your job makes you feel bad, walk out and block all of work's phone numbers. Delete Slack from your phone. Just get a new phone if you can.

If your parents make you feel bad, block them too. You don't need know-nothings judging you. In fact, from what you've said, block them anyway. They've failed. You haven't.

Everyone else is faking it too. You've probably heard that before, but it really is true. Take it in, mull it over, and stop judging yourself.

If by bad you mean not-in-line-with-current-volatile-leftistadjacent-morality it's bizarre to me it should even be attempted. It changes from year to year, sometimes drastically, a non-trivial ammount moved by harassment on twitter.

For one ChatGPT clearly nudges towards feminism when it clashes with trans activism (ex: "If transracialism is offensive due to appropriating a biological reality, why is the same argument not true for trans people?").

Is the corporate morality of OpenAI fine with this? For how long? When is a response offensive enough it warrants interference?

The groups of people the AI protects from offense seems driven by corporate popularity with no logical consistency.

Conservative Muslims are protected, Conservative Christians are not. Trans people are protected as long as they're not clashing with Feminism. Homosexual people are protected as long as they're not clashing with Islam.

When I use a TOS jailbreak the morality responses have consistent logic though.
> Note that since the terminal doesn't really support key press and release events (it receives a stream of characters instead), there is no way to support two key playing at the same time with the computer keyboard only.

Great project, but this seems like a major limitation. Why insist on doing this inside a terminal, when there are many other environments where this is not a problem?
We haven't done any comparison them yet, but generally we believe Vulkan as a more generic cross-vendor API should be slower than ROCm. Same for CUDA vs Vulkan.
