The article makes the painfully obvious mistake of conflating Google’s interpretation of value with a private investor’s.

I am absolutely sure there is hesitancy at Google of overturning their search model (I.e. money printing machine) which led to the loss of the scientists. But let’s wait until they actually turn some semblance of a profit before claiming Google “lost” $4 billion.

It's not obvious to me that this is somehow inevitable. Yeah power efficiency wise Apple is ahead currently. But are there any reasons AMD/Intel why wouldn't be able to catch up and surpass Apple in a generation or two?
> I’m disappointed they don’t consider trans women women because they are

Not really though. There are only two requirements to being a "trans woman":

1. Be a man

2. Call yourself a woman

That's it. Excluding them from women-only spaces is the only sensible policy if the essential character of such spaces is to be maintained.

Yes, that’s how politics has always been and always will be. People get into politics to advance their vision for making things better. The question is how those visions differ.

If the difference still isn’t clear, keep in mind there is only one party that consistently opposes giving food to hungry children.
Emergency vehicles here do the same thing, but there’s a human element that may be hard to implement- the drivers assume that a vehicle has “seen” them if it stops. But an automatic car (and some drivered cars, too) will then start up again and drive into the side of the truck.

But the biggest reason they slow down is that if two emergency vehicles are responding from different roads - they can hit each other - so much so there are multiple examples of it on YouTube.

That’s why they switch sound approaching an intersection and slow down. It actually helps them if there are cars stopped at the cross streets, running interference.
I've only filled W-8 BEN forms for personal trading.

As a small business in Poland, I'm issuing invoices to North American businesses with no added VAT (netto==brutto) and a side note that tax is a liability of the party receiving an invoice.

What does it mean, for something that is not you to experience feelings, qualia?
How would you be able to write any meaningful definition, from the outside?

You categorically reject that an LLM running in a loop could have a sense of being, however, neither you nor I have experienced what it is like to be an LLM, if it is like anything at all. You're making assertions about the inner state of something you've only observed from the outside.

The point is often repeated, but it's an important reminder. We have been alarmingly wrong before about whether other beings feel pain (compared to contemporary consensus), based on just what we could see from the outside, and the idea that humans occupy a higher special place.

I think that you're very quick to see "clear evidence" in animals, but not in digital large language models. Both, you've only seen from the outside.

If you're trying to improve upon Descartes, how can you be so certain about what's outside your own head.

Happy to.

My point is that home ownership isn't something that workers in even some of the most enlightened countries have. In contrast, there's incredibly high home ownership in some places that have dubious quality of life.

And so it begs the question why home ownership is voiced as such an important need of workers? I would argue that the incentive structures should be more aligned around good shelter.

Home ownership has been advertised and indoctrinated in the psyche as The American Dream, but I would question that dream...

Need them here in the UK. There are so many cars modified to have explosive sounding exhausts it's unreal. I get woken up regularly in the night when they drive them around at 2AM making a lot of noise. I still don't get why anyone would want to drive around sounding like that. There is no reason other than you want to look like a complete wanker and at that point society should crush your car to a fucking cube instantly.

Edit: turns out we do have them and they have been fining people. But it's mostly supercars. The problem is with shitty little cars with stupid exhausts which outnumber the supercars by at least two orders of magnitude.
JS also kills Python for inline functions thanks to hoisting.

It's much easier to follow the control flow with hoisting. I see `run()` being called, and then I want to know what it is. In other languages you are usually seeing a huge bunch of inline functions and then asking: okay, but when and how is this actually called?

def foo():
def run():
print("hi")
run()

function foo() {
run()
function run() {
console.log('hi')
}
}
Ah well, that is possible too. I feel that if the housing crisis is bad now, sparse off-grid housing sounds like a far worse way to solve it. And that's besides the wilderness-ruining prospects it has unless one is to build without heavy machinery (access also sounds expensive in environmental and financial costs). And with wildfires becoming more prevalent…location becomes way more important.

So again, not a solution for many in my mind (even if they want it).
This is great. Noise pollution really is a massive blind spot in vehicle regulations. Even combustion-powered cars can be made pretty quiet, but morons associate "loud" with "fast", so manufacturers keep installing defeat devices in the mufflers. Motorcycles are even worse. The noise measurements are apparently made under completely unrealistic operating conditions, and on the road they are many times louder than most cars.
I'm in my late 30s! Can't wait to see what condescension comes next.

When i was a kid, removing or significantly altering the muffler was the #1 mod to obtain more speed, and then of course there was the psychological effect of making noise to let everyone know you were around, which to me isn't that different to beasts growling loud to mark a wider territory. I guess that is normal for kids, not so much for grown ups.
>People did not program word processors themselves as they didn't exist, typewriters did.

That's funny. I had to laugh that off.

Now the type in magazines at the time were amazing - especially with error checking "co-routines" to make sure you did it right. But there were bugs in printed material that a month or two later you could fix from the errors section. Best use case of a subscription model assuming you didn't want to fix it yourself or redo it all etc...
Also as a side to that there was a barcode scanner for the code for a few publications.

We are about to start exploring just how deep the rabbit hole goes. We took the red pill when we embraced the emergent properties of LLMs, exposing that human intelligence is actually not structural or algorithmic, but rather encoded into the data of our memetic identity and may be accessed through simple inference algorithms either in a brain or on a computer.

This is the deep implication of data == calculation identity.

The only time I’ve ever seen emergency vehicles violate the “slow at intersections” was when the presidential candidate motorcade went into emergency.
Amazing, it's so great to see this done and I wish sound pollution was taken nearly as seriously where I live.

Another cool thing is when I visited Japan and I learned a lot of the tools and drills used in renovations have more quiet/less noisy counterparts so when someone remodels a room in an apartment building or house next door it doesn't actually have to ruin your work-from-home day.
I think you misunderstood the OP.

From what I got, the OP was not claiming that a TPM is simply a HSM (despite the first sentence making it seem that way).

What they claimed was:

- You only need to provide a HSM, a general-purpose microcontroller and a specific, very simple trusted bootloader.

- Then clients can supply the rest of the TPM implementation themselves as untrusted code to the bootloader.

- The resulting system has the same security properties as a TPM implemented in firmware.

- It would lead to simpler implementations and a lot less complexity in general, as clients only have to implement the parts of the TPM spec they need an not the entire thing.

I'm not enough of a crypto guy to be able to judge whether OP is right - but I think you'd need some more substantial cryptographic arguments to disprove the claim.

(In particular, I wonder how easy it would be to cause a collision - i.e. pass a program to the bootloader that results in the same hash and CDI as the program that you want to attack and still lets you do something useful, such as leaking information about the CDI to the host)
They have an API too.

Outside of Russia? Come on. Most young people know of Chernobyl because of the TV show. The tourism there spiked after HBO rolled it.

The former USSR is a totally different matter. It's a very well-known and painful, very close part of history. Not knowing about it is a shocking level of ignorance and miseducation, and yet - this is what we have.
Same here where I am in the UK. It seems to be getting worse over time too.

> ignoring the fact that an array access is out of bounds and performing the array access

This doesn't mean anything. The standard imposes no requirements that an array access is translated into a memory access by the compiler. And that's a good thing because it enables optimizations that can be critical to achieve decent performance.

Assume for example that the compiler is able to prove (after inlining) that all elements of an array are equal to zero. This array is then used in a loop where in each iteration an index into this array is calculated and the corresponding array element is added to an accumulator. If the standard were to impose a rule that array accesses have to correspond to memory accesses, this code could not be optimized because one of the computed indices might lie outside of the array and the compiler is then forced to produce assembly that performs the memory access.

With UB, however, the compiler is allowed to assume that all accesses to the array are valid and will be able to completely remove the (very cache-unfriendly) loop.

When I'm a billionaire, I'll still have fun sniffing around Amazon for things I'd like to buy. The only difference is I'll have the money to buy them.
I live in Amsterdam and beg to differ. You are probably only referring to Jordaan, indeed it's pretty quiet for a simple reason: most streets aren't accessible by car (or if they are, they are a huge pain to drive around on). Have you been to de Pijp? Or the Oud Zuid? They're much more accessible by car and they're also incredibly noisy. I have lived in all 3 and can tell you that the difference is noticeable to say the least.
The reason exhausts are loud is that there is detonation happening inside the exhaust. This happens when you increase the fuel-air mixture above what the cylinders will support for combustion and often gives slightly (maybe 10%) better performance of the car, for the cost of much lower lifetime of many components (not just the cylinders), and of course making enough noise to wake the dead.

There's plenty of motorcyclists who do the same though.
I'm not sure how common it is over Europe, but at least in Prague and in Amsterdam, there are very active campaigns regarding respectful noise levels in the major city areas, which most people seem to be pretty okay with.

I still see huge groups drinking and smoking outside every night at the pubs near where I live, but I can't say I've ever needed to complain about their noise levels, so people definitely seem on board with it; I can't say I've ever seen/heard persons getting into a heated discussion over noise, but naturally this is just my limited point of view and reality may differ.

Edit: also, just remembered that I even saw a more active approach to this when I lived in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where a few bars even had a "noise meter" outside the bar (just a simple dim but legible LED screen with the purported noise level and a sign explaining that if the number is > N, you're being too loud). It seemed to work pretty well.
I’m interested because I face a similar issue. However after installing and attempting to share a screen shot with the application I receive a blank gray pop up. Interesting concept though and I’m excited to see where it goes!
I think the comment was a reference to Terry Davis
Yeah I used to be conserved about blue light too, but it just doesn’t make any sense. Like the article mentions the amount of blue light we get with regular daylight is orders of magnitude more than anything we get from a screen. The light from the moon that we’re evolved with is not orange either.

But I think there’s a psychological comfort with orange light. Perhaps since we historically would have bonfires and candle light in the evening. So I have Philips Hue set to get very orange in and around our bedrooms at night. I guess since we tend to have more light than natural in the evening, it could be a good hack for the circadian rhythm to reduce blue light in the evening and at night, though I think the total light level is the most important. What’s nice about the Philips hue colour bulbs is that if you set them to minimum dim with orange color it’s just barely enough to see which is perfect when going to the toilet at night.
So you do understand your use of "ideological religion" was ad hominem towards that person, and hypocritical besides, since you are a climate liar ignoring the facts of climate change due to your ideological religion.

How is enforcing the law to not make loud noises that make everyone else's life around you worse a bad thing?

Nowadays I would be curious, and rather worried, about known carcinogens in those old books. I remember buying in the 1990s a fantasy trade paperback from Tor Books that had an enchanting floral scent, such that I frequently stuck my nose into the book while reading. I don’t know if the publisher and author had deliberately used certain paper or treated it with a certain scent, or this was just a nice coincidence. But now I wonder if I was just giving myself cancer from some chemical that was considered innocuous at the time.
Super rich people have children and their kids don’t have executive assistants.

That and some people like doing their own shopping (at least the looking part) because it’s relaxing. Like when you see Oprah buying diamonds in a store when technically she could just ask for someone to do it for her.
It is soft pegged and has leeway.

This is, btw, exactly the reason why the interest rates are pushed down as a consequence of Novo having success.

If the Danish central bank did not need to maintain this peg, they'd probably just let the value of the DKK increase relative to the USD – instead this manifests as more expensive housing in Denmark as the interest rates are kept artificially low.
People are loud. If you live in a city where people walk around, you'll hear every conversation from your street-facing windows. Cars are more obnoxious for sure, but they're hardly the exclusive problem contributing to noise.
I think, "It can't hurt to ask," is the leading mindset of ask culture.

If the other person is also an asker, it's probably accurate. As an asker myself, I have no trouble saying no when the answer is no. I will generally offer some explanation of the no, and I'll probably also suggest some other way the other person can accomplish what they were asking me about, but saying no just feels like "being honest" to me.

I'm also comfortable with the prospect that I might disappoint people this way. I consider my own disappointment to be my responsibility, and thus also consider other people's disappointment to be theirs, not mine.
> There is more than just cars that make noise,

There is, but there is a vast difference in how much noise and when they make noise. I live next to a tram line with a 10-minute schedule. 12 trams/hour are substantially less annoying noisewise than the constant influx of cars the whole day.

Also, the app seems to insert undismissable fullscreen ads every few minutes, without even having the courtesy to stop the video when doing so. But at least background play definitly works, I guess...
