A far greater (and less needlessly entrapping) commitment to that would be to drop all traffic from AWS. Watch the Internet break, and never contribute to Amazon’s bottom line.

This person had no idea about your beliefs and you pick the receipt of a gift as the moment to inform them through rejection? That seems rather mean for something where Bezos has already been paid.

Why do people create entire moral theories around single human instincts?

We have an instinct to punish bad people, that was acquired through throughout our evolutionary history living in social groups. Why? because it lead to good consequences for the genes that expressed it. The result is that retribution is now a good on its own because it feels good. Leaning into that as a single guiding moral principal is just another kind of narrow hedonism. A moral theory needs to account for the balance of all kinds of positive and negative experiences.

I'm a sugar-fat-and-salt-ist, I like consuming those 3 things together, and it has become my guiding moral framework. I believe that consuming those things myself is morally praiseworthy.
While I haven't given ExLLamaV2 a try yet since my 7900XT is on a Win10 dedicated gaming machine, I recently sat down and figured out getting llama.cpp w/ ROCm running on it: https://llm-tracker.info/books/howto-guides/page/amd-gpus#bk...

Here's how it compares on standardized llama2-7b 4K context testing vs some Nvidia cards: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kT4or6b0Fedd-W_jMwYp...

Not on the same platform so hard to make any solid conclusions, but vs the 4090 on a perf/$ basis right now, it's not too bad - about 60% of the inference performance of a 4090 at 45% the price. Still, if ML is your main use case, I think it's hard to argue that a used 3090 wouldn't be the way to go.

A lot of people in the finance world prefer native apps to web apps. It's bizarre.
I agree with their views on modularity and would like to see this legislated for all devices. I recently bought a little boom-box and one notable problem with it is the lack of a user serviceable battery. Once that battery fails most people will just throw it in the bin. "Old School" boom boxes had a removable panel to install batteries. If water proofing for the IP{xx} rating is too hard just put the battery contacts further apart so that at worst it drains the battery a little if submerged.

I have two Android phones I have been tinkering around with and noticed that the one with the 10,000mAh battery uleFone has been discharging a little bit faster each week, so it won't be long before it goes in the bin and I've only had it about a year. To Fairphones point disposable smart phones can't be very good on the environment.

As a side note, I would love to see Fairphone also include a de-googled image by default on their devices that supports open source application repositories. Maybe F-Droid? I do not know how many people depend on the Google services or could be weened off of it or migrated to alternative services.

I don't care if ads go away or not, but I care a lot about the tracking that ads bring. Getting rid of that alone would remove a whole lot of the problem.

Moving the tracking into the browser itself is not a solution. It just makes the browser into an agent against the user rather than a user agent.

Uninstaller should not exist. Installers should not exist either. Every OS should have a package manager. The name clearly implies what it does: it manages packages; this task should be left to a specialized software, not to the user.

Linux distros were pioneers in this aspect and "stores" of the modern world are just a clothed versions of package managers. of course, a power user should should have the right to change software sources (repositories). It should be possible to add decentralized package managers like it is possible with flatpack.

Installers and uninstallers are a relic of a time were most software people used were proprietary running under a proprietary environment. Many windows users are still locked in that proprietary closed world. If "Any sufficiently advanced uninstaller is indistinguishable from malware", I'd say that most (all?) microsoft software comes with extremely advanced uninstallers.
It has the added benefit of both laundering money and acting as advertisement for criminal gangs. Most of the largest rappers were associated with gangs and the artists even got invited to interviews and got played on radio. Plausibly all this made possible by getting the initial publicity through Spotify.
I am almost certain similar laundering has been rampant on Twitch for a long time as well.

That becomes a problem if debt forgivers become a large percentage of purchasers. It doesn't "only work the first time", it only works as long as you're in a tiny minority, which will likely be forever. The debt issuer won't take notice until the value of their debt starts to drop.

Are all ads bad? Probably not, but you'd quickly learn to distust all ads of one out of 10 jumped out and tried to shoot you in the face.

There is just far too much money in trying to hoover up all of your data and sell it off to someone else for the 'bad guys' not to try it constantly. When even governments are telling you to use ad blockers to protect yourself you know the industry has long let the problem get out of control. Users are going to protect themselves.

> But there has to be an alternative so that advertising can continue to hold up the internet and keep it freely accessible

This dichotomy is false. You can still advertise to users without having any tracking data about them other than the service or site they are using. Just as advertising has done in most other major industries, be it print media, television, or physical advertisements such as billboards.

It's not as crazy insanely lucrative !== it's not profitable enough to work.
An LLM based tool is very good for any case where
1) User is an SME
2) Generated output can be verified by user easily.

After that its just a gradual creep into LLM ops and madness. Speaking from the other side of that descent into madness.

As obvious as it may be, production LLM tools work on your data. You can't simply use an external benchmark to verify if your tool works for your use case. You will always have to build evaluation processes.

I'd say there are 2 type of tests you will end up running.

1) Statistical Tests - AKA good old ML.
2) Semantic Tests - Here be dragons.

Semantic tests break down further based on HOW you are using the LLM. (Categorization, Summarization)

The issue with Semantic testing is the amount of human effort. Its more akin to setting up exams and evaluating answers. Also your student may be tripping randomly.

Categorization - you can simplify it down to almost ML workflows.
Summarization ? That takes effort to verify.

Paypal already freezes and seizes money from account holders, not for AML compliance but uh.. just because they can.

This includes rules that they can fine you for "misinformation" (these rules have flip flopped a few times, not sure the current iteration).

Bluntly, I won't do business with Paypal. They do bad business. I encourage you to also not do business with them. Using Eth as a backing token doesn't make it any better when they still have the option to just nuke your money with no controls.

In my opinion, this was the most yawn-inducing Apple event yet, and I thought last year's couldn't be topped.

Is all this this really the best we can create? A shared port standard, a button, a yet-again better camera? Anything else? No new touch surfaces, haptics, sensors; no new hardware capabilities other than yet-again faster chip.

Software enhancements are magical, no argument. But this is the chance for Apple to show why their hardware is unique. Others play with form (fold! twist! spindle!) or maybe design, but Apple chose this time to make the big lead be the port they were forced to use.

I was disappointed. But perhaps my expectations are reality-distorted still.
There are (~conspiracy) theories out there for hybridized/synthetic human-alien biologies, so it's not completely unexpected or unprecedented discourse in the UFO world.

Humans share ~60% DNA with fruit flies, so the reported ~70% similarity seems quite low for such a "quasi-human" figure.

Perhaps you could make a case that DNA retrieval from such an old sample would be corrupted. It does seem more like the figure is tuned by the exigencies of pop-sci click bait.

Anyways they shared the full sample online, so legit geneticists could potentially weigh in.
Hmm - that's handy. After a move, I'm sure I have the disc somewhere ... it's just in some box somewhere. I will have to give that a try when I find it.
Not so as the mandate only applies to newly released products sold in the EU, not existing products.

Also as the Pro's USB3 controller is in the A-series chip and not a separate component it stands that Apple had already planned the change over -before- the EU even tabled it as a mandatory requirement.

Sure you could say that they saw the writing on the wall, which is certainly a factor, but they could have just as easily switched the port without deeper integration into the device just to satisfy a legislative requirement.
On the other hand one could equally say: Apple have been transitioning their entire lineup to the type C connector over several years and now would be an appropriate time to bring the phone into the fold.

The idea that Apple bent to the will of the EU is largely overblown, it was an obvious change and their hardware indicates that they've been planning this for a while.

Doesn't the legal scrutiny of Musk and his enterprises lately really show how long he operated without the government down his back? I bitched about his "get out of jail free" card for years, beginning with Paypal (note what happened to anyone else in that space).

> if we step back and ask "how do we allow for targeted advertising while also ensuring user privacy", I think we end up with something like this.

You've got a weird obsession with feces, and I'm not sure why you've made me into some spamlord sending out millions of emails to buy c1alis and v1agra. I'm approaching the problem from first principles, with an understanding that inside the black square on the Internet map where the spammers live, there are sloppy humans that pass around csv files, who don't talk to each other, which then get dumped into a machine that spits out emails.

How would you build such a machine? How would you make sure the machine doesn't do the wrong thing and send emails to people that have clicked the unsubscribe button? There are many humans swirling around, of varying technical competency and kindness and sanity levels. All it would take is for one of them, half drunk, to upload Dreamforce_emails_FINAL_1_(1).csv instead of Dreamforce_emails_FINAL_1_MINUS_GUMBY.csv into the machine for your email to reappear after you'd unsubscribed.
Oh, I assumed you were referring to the style of scam where a reversible/essentially phantom payment is made to someone's account (traditionally cheque, but it happens with credit transfers), and they make _real_ payments elsewhere (either via cash, crypto, or more difficult to reverse credit transfer). Initial transfer bounces, victim (or _maybe_ bank, depending) is out 100k.
I have a .com domain that I have been using for many years where a catch-all e-mail is configured. Since some time someone was creating fake Spotify accounts using my domain.

I don't have configuration error, no malware or anything like that and I contacted my e-mail service provider Zoho to check this out and they are positive that the e-mails I'm receiving from Spotify are authentic and there's no breach on their part.

I also contacted Spotify and they are absolutely sure that it's not possible to create accounts without confirming e-mails and can't do anything about it.

I have no idea how these accounts are created without me confirming the e-mail address but they are obviously fake, like a common name and numbers @mydomain .

So I used the forgot my password option to log in to check out what those accounts are doing and they were listening some obscure songs.

At some point, the person running the scheme decided to move to another domain as I received e-mail address change mails, they moved to some random .xyz domains.

Still keep receiving "3-months for free" promo from Spotify for those fake accounts.

So yep, I'm sure there are many scams going on in Spotify.

I can relate. But after using JSON for a while (in files that I edit by hand), I found that I really want comments and trailing commas (which leads to https://nigeltao.github.io/blog/2021/json-with-commas-commen...). Next I'd probably want multiline strings (leading to https://github.com/json5/json5).

But if you use those extensions, all your tooling breaks.

(Aside: I think the real bike-shedding would start when you want to add some syntax for raw string literals, e.g. heredocs; it's one of those features that feels redundant, until the day when you really need it and you can't bear the pain of repeatedly escaping and unescaping.)
At work, I opened a link, despite firefox being my default, it opened in Edge.

OneNote also hijacks your filesystem, giving Microsoft full control over it via the internet.

Not to mention, many of the windows defaults are impossible to uninstall, and if you figure out how to, it will reinstall.

Seriously, Windows has gone full malware/bloatware.

I didn't want to, but I switched to Linux. The strange part, despite linux being 'rough', I'm saving a ton of time. Multiple times a week Windows would automatically reboot, causing me to reopen everything(which is slow), figure out what to do with autosaved files, and I might have lost some data. On linux, I don't waste time on these reboots, and can spend those 5-10 minutes solving the 2 issues I ran into. Now those issues are solved and now Linux just works.
Because the tools we currently use (mostly programming languages) are too insecure to allow you to run any random code from the internet (that has full access to all your computer resources). And most users would be incapable of keeping proper security practices needed in this case.

Installed software is considered to have a distributor, ie. a legally responsible entity that can be punished for any shenanigans.

I believe this is an outdated model and that with better tooling we could do what you envision.
> No advertiser needs to know anything about me.

They do if they want to deliver ads that are relevant.

Kinda proving my point. Nothing in your post actually substantiates why advertising is inherently bad, you just state it as if it's true.

You're replying to my comment about an interface used to control such hubs, so it's what you are saying that's irrelevant in this context.

All hubs have means to control them via USB in-band (there are other things to control there than power too), and hubs that do support power switching can be controlled this way, so there's no need to use external interfaces like I2C unless you want to control such hub externally (not from the USB host), which is what this thread was about.

I'll go a different direction with this.. "nations" are a legal entity and a powerful one, but not the only means of connection in this modern world. Nations want to assert penultimate identity, but it is not true. In fact, financially successful people here on this chat system are actively hopping from one country to another, including for taxation reasons, while everyone points fingers at a group like this and argues their identity.

Identity is a complicated thing and always has been, really, but in these times with financial exchange and travel as active as it is.. the lines are just not that clear.

Cedar: Open-source tool for testing Electronic Clinical Quality Measure systems
Everyone goes through a phase of needing to determine where they stand on the most important issues. University is the time and place for that. It's very convenient shorthand to say "I'm a ___", to let others know your current thinking. It just saves time.

Some people never got the memo, you aren't supposed to construct your identity around these things. It's just a shorthand expression that starts with "I'm a".

As everyone matures, people either give up on these questions, or refine their views into something that doesn't fit cleanly into a label.

So it is "ivory-tower", but it's not bizarre, it's very normal. And unfortunately, not growing out of it is also normal for the professorship.
Machine-generated music might be functionally equivalent to human-generated music, but that ignores the cultural role of art as a shared human experience - witness the liturgy of live music. That can't happen with music tailored to each listener, it can't happen without tracks that are fixed in time and can be referred to. I can imagine it well-accepted for dynamic music such as gaming soundtracks, but I suppose that machine generation will be mostly a production technique resulting in branded pieces.
It is a cool visualization. I really wonder if the classic flaw of "what even is PMF" goes to show here. You can somewhat see that once you get past the first few companies.
