It does make iOS slightly more inconvenient, such as when adding each other on iMessage. And it severely reduces JavaScript performance in Safari. I think Apple wants to avoid making iOS feel slower or clunkier than Android. And zero-day spyware is usually targeted towards important individuals, not used for mass surveillance, so it indeed is a smaller risk to individual people.

I'd prefer a third mode that compromises between the two, perhaps letting you lower your security for a few minutes when you need the extra functionality. For example, Safari could detect when JavaScript is being slow and pop up an offer to re-enable JIT.

"Audiences are dumber." Says the filmmaker Paul Schrader.

Schrader's last half dozen films were rated across the spectrum by critics on RT, middling by audiences, and barely broke even in aggregate. The idea that this is done combination of RT and dumber audiences' fault is a possibility but equally possible is that he just doesn't know how to make movies for modern audiences.
Are you willing to take the downside too? How about the company doesn't pay you anything but gives you a cut of the profit, but also charges you if the project fails.

There's no upside if there's no downside.
If everyone is standing do you really want to be the fist to sit down? Particularly when the evidence is clear that if you do and basically any significant percent of the audience does not that you will see and hear only 50% of the show?

They're not claiming that it can never spit out code exactly, but that they will take liability for if:

- It does

- The user didn't turn off the filters that prevent this

- The user didn't intentionally make it do it

- This use is found to be illegal

There's a difference between code that needs to be kept private from bad actors (from their point of view at least) and code that is public but with restrictions on its use that anyone who gets it should be aware of. This is like saying "if you truly believe that license agreements are legally binding, then publish your user's passwords publically with a license saying no one can use them"
I think the line is _very_ thin, but I think I understand what OP means:

"ok" is taken verbatim from english and has not undergone any "modifications" to adopt it to a local language (though, I guess, that is not 100% true? in polish we sometimes spell it "okej", but I would argue that "ok" and "okej" have slightly different connotations.)

Whereas "chocolate" is "localized" into many other languages, "Schokolade" in german, "czekolada" in polish, etc.), and is not the _exact same word_.

Yeah my explanation was definitely a lossy summary. You can do similar things with GPT, but BERT is bidirectional, so for a given token it can take into account both tokens before and after it. GPT would only take into account tokens before it. Looking both ways can be helpful. Another comment in this thread explains the same (maybe clearer).

WeWork recently cut the subscription cost for many buildings by 50%. It’s more than doubled the average daily occupancy and probably tripled it for the building in Portland I go to everyday. In a way it’s frustrating because I’ve been going there since 2021 when the daily attendance was in the low single digits.

It feels packed between 9AM and 2PM and it’s a struggle to find an empty phone booth.

Now I pay $150 for a monthly subscription now and it’s an insane value. I really hope they stay in business because a decent coworking space is basically the only thing keeping me in my remote job. If I can’t find a comparable coworking space when WeWork folds then I’ll be back on the market for an in-office only job.
so no winner then?
I did this road in an SUV two years back and the experience is surreal. One noticable different is in how trucks drive this road. On a regular highway, they are calm and easy going but on this road, trucks have the right of way and they don't compromise their right any time.

Regardless, the beauty is like I have never seen before. Skinny dipping in Arctic was bonus on top.

Honestly, with or without “nation-”, “state-level actor” is a useless phrase, because (other than juridically), “state” isn't a level of an actor (particularly, it isn’t a capability level.)

If you mean a “major regional power”-level actor, or a “global superpower”-level actor, then say that, but a category that includes both the United States of America and Tuvalu isn't communicating a coherent capability level in any domain.
> An executive at Alaska West Express, another local trucking company, told me in May that such truck drivers can make $150,000 to $170,000 a year, in addition to benefits.

That's ~$200k/truck/year of incentive to replace them with auto pilots, when they're good enough. But those drivers do more than drive. Maybe they'll replace one driver per truck with one mechanic per convoy of self-driven trucks.

And an automated truck can spend a lot more time on the road, released from a meager human driver's duty cycle.

Most of the software I’ve written has gone into hardware products. Currently working on an embedded Linux system and writing a UI in ReactJS. We are late but only by a couple of months and I have every expectation that the software will be completed. The product has pre-sold about $1M already.

If you want to be working on shipping products, work on embedded stuff.

I’ve done customer facing business software too. Still mostly successful but that is where I’ve seen a few failures. One project I did was writing automated functional/integration tests didn’t see release but I take no blame for that one. The tests worked. The product didn’t.
I liked and. purchased Lightwave, but it just couldn't keep up with the industry. The one feature it had that so many other modeling programs were missing, was a way to snap a vertex to an axis plane when moving it. Other apps had to switch to an orthogonal view, but Lightwave could stay in the user view. Such a small thing, but was such a UX time saver.

> The defense of “you shouldn’t change anything about my beloved series” is pretty flimsy.

Nobody said that. You're building a straw man and putting words into people's mouths (or comments, rather).

Of course there's always going to be changes when adapting for different media. People dislike when important things change.

> If you don’t change anything, then what’s the point of watching/reading/playing the same thing over and over? Doesn’t any series just get incredibly boring without variation?

I've re-read lots of books, and there's many reasons I do it. Sometimes it's as stupid as missing the characters. Sometimes I'm co-reading with a friend who just recently started the series and I recommended it; so it's like a little book club. Sometimes it's nostalgia, etc.

Similarly regarding TV shows. Sometimes I just wanna share the moment with another person, see their reaction etc.

Games are a whole different situation though. Not sure why you even put that in there. Do you play games often? I feel like you either don't, or just play a genre of games I don't. It kinda baffles me why you'd even ask what the point of replaying games is...

> Great literature, TV, and films say things. Sometimes you might not agree. But at least it makes you think. Ideally, each entry in a series should say different or evolving things.

I both agree and disagree... I like the way something like BSG or Arcane (TV show, great btw) or even Buffy "says things" where they're not, ... literally spelled out in a patronising way?

> But I do think even beloved series have to have room for adaptation and experimentation. Because otherwise, they stagnate and can get to a point where they’re no longer worth watching

I kinda agree with this, though. There's some great successful examples of this (JoJo's Bizarre Adventures or Supernatural come to mind)
It is without doubt that the earth is home to a wide variety of life that procreates similar but not identical forms. Those forms which are more suitable for the present environment are on average more successful in procreating while others have fewer or if their differentiation is particularly negative have none or even fail to launch as it were.

We can observe especially in simple life with short generations accumulating changes. Claiming small changes don't accumulate would be like claiming water drips in a bucket but never fills up. There are plenty of arguments to be had about details and mechanics but there is no competing alternative to evolution. Do you disagree?
Sometimes I search for why the USA has outperformed global stocks and it is right there in front of me. Unfortunately it seems we are moving that direction too now.
This conversation would be mildly more interesting if you could get beyond name-calling. I see no response to the substance. This mirrors the quality of argument I've seen supporting gender ideology. Insults and claims of harm.

I don't acknowledge gender as a category. I am gender critical. Gender ideology is the cult that believes gender matters, that people can self-ID, that biological males should compete with women in sports, and that children should receive hormones and surgery to get them out of the "wrong body". That's the ideology. Normies disagree with all of it, and I am one of them.
My favorite "word avalanche" is this one:

"James had had had had John had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher"

With added commas, to aid parsing:

"James had had had had, John had had had - had had had had a better effect on the teacher."

The context being a hypothetical sentence in which either "had" or "had had" were valid constructions. "Had had" was the formulation which the teacher liked best.

It really boggles the brain to see that many repetitions, but I find it easier to parse/explain than the Buffalo one.

They sometimes sell to nations that generally promote human rights, and other times sell to nations that are very repressive yet important allies to Israel.

One subtle benefit of the opt out is that it forces commercial ML companies to reveal what they trained on. So Copilot would need to reveal a list of repositories, in order to give the repo authors a chance to opt out.

This is a fairly big deal since right now there’s no incentive for AI companies to disclose their training data, and it seems unlikely that legislation to that effect will be enacted anytime soon. Whereas this opt out mechanism is already getting widespread adoption in the EU.
I’m interested in how orgs choose which underrepresented groups to target. This program works to improve female, black, indigenous, and Hispanic people.

But they don’t target (or allow really) non-binary or lgbt (except trans women are allowed). Or don’t allow Arab/middle-eastern persons. Etc etc.

I think it’s cool that an org as large as Apple is working to improve representation but am interested in what criteria are used to specify underrepresented.
The Hungarian language is totally different to the dialects spoken by its neighbours, which usually speak Indo-European languages. Hungarian comes from the Uralic region of Asia and belongs to the Finno-Ugric language group, meaning its closest relatives are actually Finnish and Estonian, which are two other really difficult languages for foreigners to learn because they are pretty alien compared to any other languages.

I'm guessing the words you mentioned are all close because they are modern. In the same way that many words that have entered Japanese in the last 200 years are actually English or Portuguese words brought in by foreigners and adapted to the local pronunciation. You can cheat so much in Japanese by simply learning to read katakana and finding all the English words.

To be quite frank this is mostly bullshit. Few people in the majority could live on less than full time hours or successfully launch a new endeavor on less. The counter examples mostly involve the "business" of owning things. For example owning the house someone else lives in especially if the day to day affairs are managed by a property manager, or investing in an endeavor wherein the majority of the work is done by those slightly less privileged wherein the "work" is effectively giving direction to secure your investment.

And if the author has made one so simple mistake, we have to assume there are many more with the more exotic languages.

> If Apple were liable for their defective products then they might decide not to ship them at all until they can be sure enough that the risk of the lawsuits putting them out of business is small enough that they can absorb it.

I think this works best at that level, like if there’s a sliding scale based on your company’s importance to normal people’s security. I think a lot of developers are worried that their two person consulting team is suddenly liable for bugs but it’s totally reasonable to say that Tim Cook should shake the spare change out of his office couch, call Graydon Hoare into his office and say “here’s a billion dollars, who should we hire so I never hear the phrase ‘buffer overflow’ again?”
> It is interesting how fish-out-of-water the story is, given that the author covers that industry.

Well imagine you created a novel generator that just cut-and-paste whole sentences from the Harry Potter books to create a new Harry Potter, and posted it online. Now, as long as this was done as a just a bit of fun, non-commercial, I feel like that likely should be allowed as fair use (whether it actually would is not the point), though borderline. If you tried to sell it, definitely too far.

So I think "used for profit" is quite key.

But another example is someone writing and selling a reference guide to Tolkien's mythos that catalogues the content of his novels. And we would say that should be allowed, though that could be taken too far as well, for example it could duplicate the material in the appendices to LoTR.
Really? As soon as I turned on fractional scaling on Wayland, Chrome & Electron apps became blurry looking to the point of being unusable. Actually, a lot of apps I'm used to using were unusably blurry and horrible looking (like Jetbrains products). Maybe Windows doesn't handle decimal scaling, but at least most everything looks and works fine. You have to look really deep to find stuff that doesn't work (like event log or group policy editor, leftovers from a bygone era Windows, things I don't use day to day, and I'm sure nobody uses them every day). As it is now, as a developer, using a browser and Jetbrains IDE or VS Code, Wayland is completely unusable and makes the whole Linux space feel more like a toy than a professional tool.

So I don't know what decimal scaling you're talking about when Wayland can't even do 125% or 150% scaling without half the app ecosystem breaking.
