I drank five or six cups of coffee a day for decades. I’d even have a cup before going to bed — that’s how tolerant I had become.

Got a mild flu/Covid/cold couple years ago. Better in a week. But, during the illness and since, the slightest bit of caffeine would make be incredibly wired to the point of panic attacks. Had to quit cold turkey. I’ve tried a cup now and again, and it’s the same thing: 6 hours of overwhelming anxiety.

Wierd. It’s like I became hypersensitive to caffeine. Oddly, though, nicotine doesn’t have that effect, and I always figured the two stimulants were similar.
Casinos provide leisure and entertainment. If what you're actually trying to say is that they are overall a net harm, then I'd point out that imperial mercantilism was also quite harmful to many people. At least MGM hasn't overthrown any countries.
It’s not clear for people that put their hands over their ears and go LA-LA-LA-LA. Hell, in many places bullshit like that is not even enforceable.

There was a good comment on one similar threads: oracle is thought as this litigious monster because they provide DRM-free, no phoning home solutions to companies. This is very important for these customers, as you just simply can’t shut down a country’s hospital system because Google or whatever managed to falsely flag it as some malware and now you try to grab onto any form of human contact from their support, without success.

But every sufficiently big company is only after money, so to make some form of profit they do have to actually enforce their contracts somehow, here comes the inspection - which sure suck, but there is no other way around it given the previous limitation. And sure, some higher management can easily have fked up and used some feature that was not part of their plan, and they desperately want to cover up their mishandling, and Oracle “kindly” offers them the option to forget about the fee for that plus option, if you subscribe to this other service of ours for X years, we are good; and higher management couldn’t be happier.
Don’t most companies have budgets? Wouldn’t raising prices just cause companies to buy less? I feel like folks don’t just increase spend when prices go up, when it comes to ads.

Now if everyone is increasing budgets, prices of goods, ad spend, that story would make more sense. But that would correlate to whole market movements which honestly makes sense for something of this scale
Taking a long term view, half a century or a century out, at the rate the world is currently developing, it seems possible there will be no poor countries left to supply cheap labour. Most of the world will be wealthy, except for a few basketcases mired in warlordism and economic isolation, such as Congo, Burma, or North Korea today. Such regions will certainly have still have plenty of poor desperate people - but they will not have the education, etc., that the migrating masses driving the economies of the highly developed countries do today. They will be malnourished and illiterate and no one will want them as immigrants, just as they are unwanted as immigrants today. The rest of us seem to be on track to be part of one competitive globalized labour pool.

Presumably the insurance requires a security audit (yearly?) in order to get in the first place?

As long as the auditors OK'd it then the insurance should pay out. Unless they can show that MGM intentionally lied in the information they gave the auditors -- which will surely now be gone through with a fine-toothed comb.

I'm glad you asked!

Step 1: Anyone who uses any media, be it watercolors or generative AI, to create pornographic content of a minor should go to a LOT of prison and be registered as a sex offender.

Step 2: Educate children on these tools, what they may be used for, what they may not be used for, and illustrate vividly the extreme consequences thereof.

Step 3: When it inevitably happens anyway, enforce those consequences. The offender needs to go away for a long time, and be subject to rehabilitation programs to re-enter society. They should be treated as any other sex offender would, because that's what they are. Their age does not change their crime.

Step 3.5: Support the victim. Make it abundantly clear that anyone possessing this material any further will be subject to less severe certainly, but still severe consequences. It is to be deleted, to the maximum extent possible, from the maximum number of places possible.

Step 4: Any platform that permits this content to be distributed upon it should also be subjected to extremely steep fines and if the issue persists, seizure by the appropriate authorities. And frankly this should be expanded to all CAM, regardless of origin. Don't wanna regulate it, or feel you can't enforce this? Then shut down. Nobody asked you to to build a website and if you can't keep CP off your website, then your website doesn't need to exist, full stop.

Step 5: At this exact moment, begin changing how these generative tools are constructed. Make sure they only use training materials that are properly licensed and given over by their subjects and creators. If a given AI contains the ability to generate pornographic material, then it's distribution should also, in turn, be regulated as pornography already is. Yes, that will be probably be just as ineffective as it is for regular pornography. No, that is not an excuse to not do it. A tool that can make pornography on demand is indistinguishable from pornography.

And yes I am certain all of this will stifle innovation in the AI space. I don't care. Frankly if this kills it off entirely I think that's an unmitigated win.

Or how many studies are useless, period? It's like publishing a memoir to Amazon. You can now say "author" on your resume, or when you're introduced or at cocktail parties but nobody finds any value in what you have to say. You can also use ChatGPT because people might not notice.
> who would publish such a document?

The banks? In this case. Because if you do the manual searching, you will “manually” go to each bank site, go to accounts, business section and read, a good search engine will do that for me, no middle man (aka some 3rd party sites) and summarize it based on my query, a bad search engine however, will look into a 3rd party website that already created a list, recommended some based on affiliate links, boosted itself in the results by playing the SEO keywords game.
> The finding falls in line with other large scale replication studies in medicine, which have had replication success rates ranging from 11 to 44%.

These numbers seem almost wholly unrelated. A perfectly good study may be extremely difficult to replicate (or even the original purpose of replication - the experiment as described in the paper may simply not be sufficient); and an attempt at replication (or refutation), successful or not, is under the same pressure to be faked or flawed as the original paper.
Fair point! When I wrote that the archive link hadn't been posted, so I saw Washington Post, and assumed.

Hmm...

Of course, the question of whether a particular technology is good or evil requires a moral framework, that's a necessity from the "good or evil" part.

Now those who say "technology is neutral" imply - if I understand correctly - that technology is out of this discussion. They think that the use of technology can be good or bad, but the technology itself is neither.

And that is what I question: should we consider that technology is completely out of the moral debate, or not? Obviously if we conclude that it is part of the moral debate, then it depends on the moral framework. In this case, the technology behind deepfakes was developed by people that I am convinced don't approve of the use in the original article.

So it seems legit to me to ask whether those people questioned the technology they were developing, within their moral framework, before doing it and releasing it to the world.

Am I missing something?

I found it interesting that you used nanoid for this, a very simple and elegant solution. Can you speak to why you made this so scaled down, and how you chose the domain name? I find that the main downside to shorteners is that the domain itself looks like something that would hack your computer, which means sending a shortened link to anyone who doesn't know the domain is followed by the question, "did you send this or were you hacked?"

Not the person you responded to, but I have random thoughts derive from making a summer visit to a friend in Tucson back in the 90s. We tried riding bikes from Oracle to some place several miles away and my tires got so soft from the pavement heat that it split, the tube burst, and we aborted the trip. Now, this was way back in the 90s when both A) bike tire compounds were probably of much worse quality than today, and B) I was a lazy teen with no grit who didn't even try to change the tire, nor would I have wanted to, because it was hovering around 38C that day and all I wanted was to be in the pool.

These days, I love riding my bike everywhere. When I was living in southern Japan for a while, summers there were at least as hot as that summer in Tucson and just about maxed on the humidity. With more age and grit I still rode my bike everywhere, plus took weekend trips through the mountains of the island.

I think not everyone has the patience to build up this grit or, in some cases, might have medical conditions that prevent it. Heat stroke is a concern, as is just showing up places drenched in sweat. Also, looking at a bike lane map of Santa Fe, their infrastructure today is not great.

All this is to say, I think biking in Santa Fe would be an option, but for many it might not be convenient, safe, or desirable.

Greengrass was so bad we built an entire edge platform.
The "setup this benchmark" happens in medicine all of the time, and it's super insidious and no one sees it. It's hard to tease out.

For example, say you have a new (patentable) drug that you're trying to get approved and replace an old (generic, cheap) drug. You need to prove that the new drug is at least as safe as the old one and/or more effective than the old one. Which sounds reasonable.

Let's say that the old drug is super safe and that the new one may not be. What you can do is set up your RCT so that you surreptitiously underdose the control arm so the safe drug looks less effective. And then you can say that your new drug is more effective than the old one.

Peer review doesn't notice this because you can easily hide it in the narrative of the methods section. I've seen it a couple of times.

So you can easily have "gold standard RCTs" that get the result you want just by subtle changes in the study design.
> Because it is? Ad blocking is arguably at least unethical.

If all an ad was was a static image, I might agree.

> That's a weird way to phrase "in the cooperative style, scheduling points are explicit, and in the preemptive style, the burden is on the developer to get it right".

Because it's the opposite. In the preemptive style, the mutual exclusion assumption -- i.e. the relevant correctness assumption -- is explicit, while in the cooperative style the correctness assumption is implicit and does not compose well. I.e. any addition of a scheduling point requires re-examining the implicit assumptions in all transitive callers.

> Preemptive multitasking gives the runtime more capabilities and makes it easier to implement because you can just assume the user has to deal with anything that your implicit rescheduling causes.

Preemptive multitasking is far, far harder to implement (that's why virtual threads took so long) and it provides superior composability. Cooperative scheduling is very easy to implement (often all it requires is just a change to the frontend compiler, which is why languages that have no support of the backend have to choose it) but it places the burden of examining implicit assumptions on the user.

> After decades of legacy, none of that is feasible in Java of course, but let's not pretend that preemptive scheduling is objectively "preferable".

Java is no different in this case from C# or Rust. They all support threading. But after significant research we've decided to spend years on offering the better approach. It looks like C# has now realised that, while hard, it may be possible for them, too, so they're giving it a go.

If we look at true clean-slate choices, the two languages that are most identified with concurrency as their core -- Erlang and Go -- have also chosen preemptive scheduling. Languages that didn't have either done so due to legacy constraints (JS), lack of control over the backend (Kotlin), complex/expensive allocation in low-level languages (C++ and Rust), or possibly because it's simply much easier (C# I guess).
That’s.. one way to look at it. Should read “perhaps the company doesn’t feel the need to give developers 100k+/year”.

> If current quantum computers were scaled up to more qubits

That depends on what you mean by "scaled up". There is a concept of "Quantum Volume" that exists, which basically means the depth of the longest qubit circuit you can pull off.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_volume

'Simply' (it's never simple ;) ) adding qubits to a machine does not necessarily increase its Quantum Volume. Decreasing the noise typically will.

However, there is a threshold at which point you can scale up mostly indefinitely. This is what the whole Quantum Error Correction is all about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_error_correction

There is a paper

https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.09749

That goes into a clear discussion of how to build a quantum computer and the associated thresholds that would allow you to do so. There is a minimum number of qubits needed (that work perfectly), but the paper analyzes how many qubits you'd need under realistic assumptions about how many noisy qubits you'd need to get error correcting qubits at the needed reliability.
