You don’t anyways now. You just have some assurance, not total assurance, with current practices. Many people will find something conversational (in that you have some documentation about what it did and can correct assumptions) good enough because it brings close enough to the human status quo.

I hope your pessimism is founded though, I would really like to see programming by human advance rather than the whole thing be taken over by AI. Hybrid approaches are also possible (AI in the loop but not in the core position).
What kind of argument is that? Google's mission was literally to "organize the world's information" - of course they would include newspapers in the index, irrespective of any opinion about the articles.

there are many points where big tech abuses their monopolistic advantage making competition not fair.
IANAL, but basically anything that negatively impacts a protected class and doesn't have a clear business purpose can be argued as discrimination. "Reasonable accommodations" without "undue hardship" are key phrases you will commonly hear as being the expectations for employers. Those accommodations can include stuff like installing ramps for an employee in a wheelchair or granting a new mother time to pump. The employee doesn't have to be fired or denied a promotion, simply making their job or life more difficult is often enough to be considered discrimination.

To me, the TV station/network watermarks from the original broadcasts are actually part of the history.
i guess it's that time of the week for my weekly response that de-hypes the buzzword hype:

>but I feel like Apache TVM and the Various MLIR efforts (like Pytorch MLIR, SHARK, Mojo) are much more promising for ML inference

1. There is no PyTorch MLIR. There is torch-mlir but that is not a PyTorch sponsored/affiliated project.

2. MLIR has nothing to do with any of the issues that AMD is having with drivers because MLIR is about IR not drivers. Nor does it have anything to do with tinygrad because there is no mature autograd implementation in terms of MLIR (Polygeist, with all due respect, is not mature). So each of the projects you name-drop depends on some existing frontend that includes an autodiff implementation. I don't know how tinygrad works but if at some point they decide to lower their graph to MLIR (instead of their own kernels), there is no barrier/impediment (other than actually implementing the lowering).

3. Mojo is just a complete non-sequitur here; besides the fact that you might as well consider it vaporware until there's some release outside of their walled garden (sometime this month supposedly for the SDK), they expressly aim to target CPU rather than GPU.

I work on MLIR. I like MLIR. I hope MLIR succeeds bigly but it doesn't need to be shoe-horned into absolutely every single conversation about AMD/GPU/ML/LLM whatever.
> They systematically took these audiences away from the content providers

It sounds like those audiences have an equivalent chance of organically discovering those news without centralized search engines or news feed systems? Then what's the value of those systems? If they don't provide any values, then why don't those audiences just go to the new website instead of clicking a link from Google/Facebook/whatever.

Plus while corruption is possible, protectionism is the less greasy term, and equally likely to be driving things
This has always followed protectionism, I'd guess. Really the solution would have been to socialize the domestic losses caused by globalization (retraining workers, etc.), but there seems to be no interest or political will towards doing that.
And only made possible by the fact that levels of neutrality were enforced lower in the stack. These tech giants would not have been possible if the telecoms companies had the power to leverage their platforms for advertising.

That's not to say the social media model wasn't revolutionary. It was like the emergence of the Gnathostomata. But it seems crazy that people's online identities are tied directly to the companies trying to manipulate them.
Ask HN: Why is iOS 17 setting TCP reserved bit?
I started using iOS 17 beta and I am noticing that websites take long to load. I looked at my firewall logs and it looks like safari on new iOS is setting reserved bit in which firewall's IPS engine is blocking right away: Invalid TCP reserved bit. This is not happening on iOS 16.

Is there some hidden TCP change with iOS 17 that is now secretly using those TCP reserved bits?
I don't disagree there are some instances of this in other areas, but in the case of links to news websites I don't think there's a meaningful argument against customers choosing which URL to visit as it relates to competition.
I only got the clustering working this morning, so aside from playing around with it a bit I've not had any results that have convinced me it's a tool I should throw at lots of different problems.

I mainly like it as another example of the kind of things you can use embeddings for.

My implementation is very naive - it's just this:

sklearn.cluster.MiniBatchKMeans(n_clusters=n, n_init="auto")

I imagine there are all kinds of improvements that could be made to this kind of thing.

I'd love to understand if there's a good way to automatically pick an interesting number of clusters, as opposed to picking a number at the start.

> Your MPs’ WhatsApp group can be secure, or it can readable by law enforcement and the Chinese, but you cannot have encryption that can be broken only by our spies and not their spies. Pick one.

It doesn't seem technically infeasible for WhatsApp to move to a protocol where, say, every message is transmitted twice, once encrypted with the recipient's public key and once with the NSA's public key. Or for the state to ban all messaging systems that don't follow that protocol.

Arguments against encryption are generally philosophical rather than purely technical.
> What he saw was Country Crock Plant Butter Made with Olive Oil, a product with a green lid and a label showing a leafy olive branch floating above a buttered slice of toast, with the words “New!” and “Dairy Free” in delighted-looking cursive. “Most margarines, they don’t put pictures of the ingredients,” Clemmons went on.

> Reading, he made a startling discovery: the spread wasn’t made of olive oil, or even mostly made of olive oil. The primary ingredient was a processed blend of palm and canola oils. “I’d been drawn in because of the picture,” Clemmons told me. “And they knew that. I’m sure they knew that. Why wouldn’t people be attracted to things that are natural?”

But it did contain olive oil -- it just wasn't the sole oil source. I don't think that's fraud, and, again, anybody can read the label and make up their own mind. A lawsuit over this is a joke.

Also, implying that canola oil and palm oil aren't natural is pretty funny.

Geoff was an amazing and unique individual. His depth of knowledge of Windows was unparalleled — he and I spent many a night arguing about the merits of Dave Cutler’s design philosophy, security decisions in modern Windows, and so-forth. Usually we would be doing so over far too much Italian wine, the quality of the arguments would tracking appropriately with the amount of wine consumed. Probably how loud we were, too… weirdest argument to hear in a New York bar in SoHo on a weeknight, I’m sure.

Geoff’s love and knowledge of the Beatles, David Bowie, the Who and other 1960’s and 1970’s British pop was staggering… I love these bands, and he took that passion to another level. I’ll never forget listening to the various mixes of Bowie’s Space Oddity and noticing the subtle nuances Geoff would point out. His huge collection of singles made it easy to discover something new, especially with him curating a journey through his favourites, or even versions that he would express great disdain for! This was only matched by his love of classical music. You’ll see signs of these passions in his musings in his website.

Raise a good glass of wine with friends, have a hell of a party, listen to some great music… a great way to celebrate his life.

Well yeah because cars are at the most like 10% of global emissions.

And because of climate lag, we're still only experiencing the effect of emissions from a couple of decades ago. Plus there are climatic feedbacks to take into consideration which nobody really knows with certainty how these will react in the coming decades.

> why is the feature better handled within SQL as opposed to in the general purpose query language managing the DB queries and making the calls?

If the environment hosting and managing the queries (e.g. psql) is open source, maybe you can hack in support. Often that is not the case. Even when you are able, then your work becomes non-standard and thus not easily shared with other analysts, which kind of defeats the whole sharing of modules.

If you are writing a full-fledged application, using "real" programming languages, then a lot of people build their own query languages on top of SQL, treating SQL as just an "assembly language" that their query language compiles to, to add what SQL lacks. That's all well and good, but totally overboard when you just want to answer some questions about your data.

I do think you make a point that SQL tries to be too many things to too many people. No question, it is useful being able to embed SQL strings into other code without needing to worry about complex dependencies... Except you still have that worry as we already tried adding that composition through stored procedures, views, etc. which are dependent on a particular database state being true. It's there, just not very well thought out from a developer ergonomic perspective. Indeed, SQL is confused.
I agree with the principle of your argument, but not with "zero moral compass". You may have a moral compass that goes against software patents in general, but it would require a very strong one to sacrifice your ability to advance your career and your family's quality of life on this altar.
This boiling temperature conclusion makes the assumption that we continue using thermal power (steam engines, etc...), where waste heat is around 60%.

However photovoltaic and wind does not produce much waste heat. Arguably solar and wind cannot scale 1000x but then you could have non thermal fusion like Helion's https://www.helionenergy.com/technology/.

Btw, thermal power is already showing limits (rivers overheating in summers), we don't have to wait 400 years to see its failure.

Some marine fishes are "so poisoned with heavy metals". Farmed salmon is a different category of food, and can help with that problem.

Honest question. It is really poisoning people or are we just assuming it? Just because some stuff can kill a shrimp does not mean that is also able to harm human metabolism.

not to mention the fact that there are safety intervals on industry, because this is aquaculture, not fishing. Treating a cage on spring does not mean than you will be able to buy that fish before Christmas.

> nothing gets shipped unless it's perfect, and so nothing gets iterated on…

That’s why a solid, painless, quick rollback story is absolutely vital but underrated for agility. It’s not a big deal if you ship a regression but can roll back quickly. On the other hand, if every release is playing for keeps, you’ll slow down to a glacial pace to try to ship perfection. But perfection is impossible no matter how much process you put in front of it—you will ship a bug some day. So pretending like you can’t ship bugs because you have initial design reviews, multiple code reviews, sign-offs from multiple stakeholders, CI that takes 3 days to run, etc. just makes the day you do ship a big that much more painful.

If you are correct, then those newspaper businesses will now enjoy an economic upturn, since Google and Meta no longer allow links to them on their platforms. But I think we'll see it hurt the Canadian businesses instead. At the very least, it will hit the small independent companies very hard, since it was the primary method readers found them in the first place. This may have the unfortunate side effect of reducing the number of players who can meaningfully contribute to public discourse in Canada.
Maybe instead of "embrace, extend, extinguish", it's "promote, extend, prevent competitors from extending, then charge for extensions".

I understand your point, and it is a heuristic at best, but I'm having more and more trouble listening to the ever-growing gymnastics explaining how prices will not come down even though mortgage rates have gone from 2.75% to 7+% in the last year-and-a-half.

I have yet to hear a convincing argument beyond "people will just stop selling their homes, forever," which is obvious nonsense. Once the adjustable-rate mortgages reset in a year-or-five, many, many folks will be forced to sell. Prices only come down when people are forced to sell at a loss.
The Llama 1 paper [1] was one of the earlier models to question the assumption that more params = better model. Since then they've released Llama 2 and this post is offering more evidence that reinforces their hypothesis.

I wouldn't say it was an oversight by other labs that they missed this. It's easier to just increase params on a model over the same training set instead of gathering a larger training set necessary for a smaller model. And at first, increasing model size did seem to be the way forward, but we've since hit diminishing returns. Now that we've hit that point, we've begun exploring other options and the Llamas are early evidence of another way forward.

> France is estimated to import between 117 and 750Mt of CO2 a year, quite a large error margin…

I don't know, if your basis for your opinion is that you googled it and you got some very wide ranging and contradictory results then that seems like a poor foundation to start with.

> Why? These exports from China generates GDP in China so it just grow the energy consumption as well as the Chinese GDP, making the ratio flat.

If the ratio is flat then there isn't really much of an export of energy effect in my view. If you are exports were dominated specifically by the use of energy (over say human capital or laxer pollution standards) that intensity would rise because it would be the source of the economic advantage. I.e. if domestic consumption trade 1 unit of energy for one unit of growth but exports trades 2 units of energy for one unit of growth intensity will rise if exports dominate the energy mix. That does not seem to be the case.

A huge proportion of US imports seem to be based on "assembly" from what I can tell, the dominant categories from China are electrical/electronic goods and industrial machines - most of the stuff is the assembling of US & EU (and Taiwan for semiconductor reasons) made parts.. the energy mix of the import-export dynamic seems like it needs a lot of analysis - I would like something authoritative that shows an attempt at an analysis, I can't seem to find it.
Then just tax them to hell (aka tariff Apple imports if they move out of the country significantly) if that's the game these companies want to play. They need the US customer base and investment base more than the US needs Apple.
You’re making the original point - you can have encryption that can include the NSA, but it would also end up including other spies too, as secrets tend to leak the more important and widely used they are. The original point was not that you can’t have a secure leak, but that the secure leak ultimately wouldn’t stay secure forever. You don’t want to build the weapons your enemies end up using against you, and in digital ecosystems it’s often trivial to do this.
> The majority of people seem to have immediate -scoped concerns I suppose.

Well, like you write, aggregated data is already being used to influence populations which makes it immediate. An hypothetical hacker is not.

> Most of the really scary big data possibilities seems more like political issues than data issues, the data is just something they could use to do the things people are worried about.

I don't follow. Not giving away the data removes the need for politics. Crime is illegal nevertheless it exists because it is possible to commit.

> It's not great, but it's competing for mind share with a lot of other possibile horrors people are afraid of and people are rather fatigued.

Not everyone shares the same concerns and nobody likes problems, that doesn't' mean they should be accepted.

All the more reason not to give them more.
The personalized hate content is a direct consequence of big data aggregation.

All in all, seems like more of an issue than a possible compromise of a FOSS project.
Would Youtube make financial sense without a "free" tier that includes ads? Would people use it? Would creators on Youtube even be found?

> I think Nintendo is the only company that could compete and introduce its own app store/walled garden.

Maybe they could, but the "ecosystem" business isn't very attractive these days. With European changes coming down the pipeline and increased US regulatory scrutiny, another entrant might make the outlook even less profitable.

> I also think that SteamDeck, with its desktop support, shows the interest in something that can replace desktop/laptops[0].

The Steam Deck includes desktop mode because it's more work to patch it out of the OS than it is to add a "switch" button. It's a fantastic feature and very helpful in a pinch, but I don't think it exhibits much of a demand for anything. It's just a nice feature, testing the waters. Same goes for Samsung DEX and the like.
Until Svelte or any other JS framework can compete with React Native React will continue to reign.
I think that you really have to use some Lisp to get the point here. The point is it's the best of both worlds, and the problem somewhat vanishes. But I don't know if I can convey that to you in words.
I am not a cryptographer, but the standard objection to this is that the NSA key will leak, either generally or be stolen by a Russian/Chinese agent.
And in implementation, how many keys are we talking about? USA, UK, France, Germany, USA, Australia... Every country's law enforcement will demand a key, and how long will that remain secure?
