> translates to something along the lines of 'corrupt regulatory capture for the benefit of my Union's interest'

And you don't think the veto translates to something along the lines of 'corrupt regulatory capture for the benefit of tech companies'? Just because you don't like the proposed solution doesn't make it double speak for something you think.

> where the government uses double-speak to convince the people

It was used to control the narrative/population, not convince people - everyone knew it's obvious BS. But there the government was implementing totalitarian system squashing opposition. Here, we've got agreement from majority of both the government and population and a veto from a single person higher up. It's almost the complete opposite of the book.

> how shitty and unfulfilling life is that the government needs to invent make-work jobs like sitting in automated trucks

Wait until you hear about mining and farming subsidies in lots of countries and how much voting weight those groups had around the time of increasing automation and phasing out coal. Or why corn is in everything in the US...
> there are legitimate reasons someone might want to resell, like no longer being free on the event date

Which can also happen with airplane tickets. What makes it ok for an airplane ticket to be strictly tied to an ID, but not for a show?
As the original author, can you rate this ai generated summary of your video:

Video tutorial on language models by Jeremy Howard from fast.ai. In the tutorial, Howard explains the basics of language models and how to use them in practice. He starts by defining a language model as something that can predict the next word of a sentence or fill in missing words. He demonstrates this using an open AI language model called text DaVinci 003.

Howard explains that language models work by predicting the probability of various possible next words based on the given context. He shows how to use language models for creative brainstorming and playing with different word predictions.

He then discusses language model training and fine-tuning processes, using the ULMfit approach as an example. He explains the three steps of language model training: pre-training, language model fine-tuning, and classifier fine-tuning. He mentions the importance of fine-tuning language models for specific tasks to make them more useful.

Howard also demonstrates how to use the open AI API to access language models programmatically. He shows examples of using the API to generate text, ask questions, perform code interpretation, and even extract text from images using OCR.

Additionally, he discusses the options for running language models on your own computer, such as using GPUs, renting GPU servers, or utilizing cloud platforms like Kaggle and Colab.

He mentions the Transformers library from Hugging Face, which provides pre-trained models and data sets for language processing tasks. He highlights the benefits of fine-tuning models and using retrieval augmented generation to combine document retrieval with language generation.

The tutorial concludes with a discussion on other options for running language models, including using private GPT models, Mac-based solutions like H2O GPT and lima.cpp, and the possibility of fine-tuning models with custom data sets.

Overall, the tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of language models, their applications, and different ways to use them, both with open AI models and on your own computer.
Had the same experience when getting my non-iPhone repaired.
They said they need it to verify the new screen works properly.
I said, I will not give them my PIN. That apparently removed some warranty that it's working?
It's very very weird, but it's probably just to test each area of the screen (can't be done when locked).
I just tested it in the store myself.
The main challenge is when things go wrong. Feature flags are designed for high-rate evaluation with low latency responses. Configuration usually doesn't care that much about latency as it's usually read once at startup. This context leads to some very specific tradeoffs such as erring to availability over consistency, which in the case of configuration management could be a bad choice
Fair. But I'll still write this off as stuff you can get away with once you're on top, but not while on your way there.
> Canada is the 5th freest country in the world. The United States is 61st. India is 87th.

Yeah! Free enough to carry out terrorist activity against another country. It matches very well with your misguided definition of freedom.

> Who did Canada invade on shaky grounds?

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

Let's see how many of those had a good reason. I'm pretty sure that defense contractors in Canada consider it as a good enough reason.

> OK, your turn.

False equivalence. The Khalistanis in your country are your citizens fighting for a secession in another country. Foreign terrorists at best. The so-called Khalistani movement is not as popular in India as it is in Canada. It's basically an overseas separatist movement supported by Canada. Let's see how Canada reacts if another country - say China- wants to annex its territories.

> Non-Indian Citation Needed

No. Just common sense needed. Canada fucked up hard in the AI182 bombings case. Did the political leadership do anything to correct it? Did it atleast try to curb the activities that supported it? Do you think your fav US would allow similar activities to happen against them on your land?

> The rest of your post shows there is no point us continuing to go back and forth.

I have reached the same conclusion - because of you insistence that anything is justified in the name of 'freedom of expression'. Your entire argument on the other hand is based on that flaky, false and bad-faith premise. It's fundamentally accepted that freedoms are not absolute - they end where they start infringing on others' rights.

> Canada does not have this reputation from anyone except India.

Yeah. Keep telling yourself that. Canada is a PR disaster on the scale of a country. Have a look at its recent diplomatic relations. And in this case - India is accused of killing one person. Canada is accused of supporting terrorism by its citizens on Indian soil with causalities in the hundreds. Let's not neglect that part of this row.
I use an old version of palemoon (FF fork) with all script disabled and plain HTML works fine as of right now.
I just don't understand the meaning of this, and thus I have a hard time not seeing malice in this.

I manage RMA for consumer electronics, and we don't do any shit like that.

We just have a factory test firmware that is signed by us, that can be booted from a USB storage, boots in RAM (so it doesn't need anything from local storage except first stage bootloader, and we disable secure enclave in first stage boot in that mode).

It's still a bit of a security tradeoff since that gives attacker an extra surface area to execute code on Application Processor, but still nowhere near giving your password to strangers?
This is surprising to me.

As a self taught hobbyist (crap) programmer that doesn't try too hard to make 'good' code. It nevertheless seems obvious to me that you'd want to deal with the errors first. I kind of disagree with the articles Pareto principle. 80% of programming is working out all the ways that things could go wrong, so it's better to think about those first, rather than getting into to juicy bits and leave the error handling for 'later'

Maybe it was from my ASM phase, and wanting to avoid the extra branch?

Or maybe it's because 'professional' programming is more cargo culting than we'd like to admit?

Free service to store lightweight data on Ethereum
Ethelia is Ethereum blockchain storage provider for different kinds of lightweight data. The idea is to store tamper-proof and sensitive data on blockchain instead of regular database. Blockchain gives decentralization, security and resistance against data corruption or falsifying. Since blockchain node does not manage direct data access — we have to build high level service to do that. This is Ethelia.

I trust the vendor to want to keep their name out of the papers. I don't trust an unknown individual possibly in their first job with no privacy training.

The amount of sensitive information I've seen in my circles alone being posted to Instagram in the background of a cheeky work selfie.. don't even start on the deliberate stuff like "hehehe this guy has a silly name" "hehehe aye he does (I wonder if anyone screenshots my private info and shares it with their friends?)"
Yeah, text editing on tiny screen keyboard sucks. I could never really make the transition myself, so I keep bringing my Thinkpads with me (guess why Thinkpads too :)).

As phones are so big these days they require two hands anyway, I reminiscence of Palm Pre/webOS hold-below-the-screen-and-swipe-left-and-right to select exactly the right spot quickly and precisely. I don't remember the rest of the gestures, but at least I don't remember it being as frustrating as Android.

Nokia N9 (Maemo/Meego) also had a few interesting things, as did Ubuntu Touch.

I applaud any research into this though I can't imagine how it will ever beat physical keyboards (other than mind-reading).
Its just blatant protectionism, which ironically hurts both Americans and American automakers.
What is PEFT (parameter efficient fine tuning) for LLMs?
How do you get list of companies to target? What is your conversion rate? Do you do the cold calls yourself?
How would the transfer work with a completely dead screen on the old phone?
I think that summary is pretty good, although it doesn't really highlight the most interesting bits, such as the fact that we implement a code interpreter from scratch, and that we cover fine-tuning to create a model that successfully converts prose questions into SQL queries.

I actually just created my own summary of the bits I'm most excited about, in case it's helpful to folks: https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/1705883362991472984
Well, yes, I imagine it's true that people don't print photos as often as they used to, for obvious reasons. My point is that most people seem to find smartphone photos perfectly adequate for printing in the scenarios where they do still want to print photos.
I feel that it's lacking in accountability, like what the hell happened that made them go through with these plans despite them being obviously poorly thought out? Who was responsible for this scheme and how do they ensure it will not happen again.

Games take such a long time to develop and you have to be able to trust that your engine won't change the terms of service when you are like 3 year into development. They have shown that they either don't care about or understand that, neither of which is great.

Like what is to say they won't pull another one of these in like 3 years.
Because Kubernetes is both abstraction and de facto standardized platform across infrastructure providers. All deployments to customers who are large institutions start with provisioning, OS alignment (there are huge differences between RHEL, SLES, Debian or Amazon, then customisations like hardenings are put on top), networking, storage, access rights. You don't want to deal with that from scratch each time. It costs both time and money. Direct dealing with hardware is long gone (Hyper-V and VMware), and now it's time to cut out the upper layers. Also, Kubernetes allows better resource utilisation and scaling.
That cannot work for all the payment cards etc you have right? That data never leaves the secure chip on your phone, I hope?

> the job of a Chief Executive Officer is to run the company

Thats a very vague job description. Executive's jobs are to make investments that will maximize shareholder return and an executive of an engineering company will only be able to make the best investments if they understand the technology they are selling and their customers. People have been noting how engineers have been running more and more companies, thats because more and more companies rely on technology to drive their growth.
Thats a good analogy. Or simply take my personal diary out of the glove box.
Right, my mistake. I was talking about both shadow-bans and error-bans/The Frustration Loop. The common thing here is that you're being gaslighted by the service.
That's a really good point, and I agree with you fully. What I do not agree with and am not sure if you agree with either, is that the dentist has bad teeth to begin with. Furthermore if you where to say that 1+1=2, isn't in fact 2 because a dentist with bad teeth said it was then you are simply plain wrong.

Legitimate top traders would not need people to follow their trades. In fact, the best ones would advise you against it.

Trading is a redistribution of wealth from the bad traders to the good ones. You might make this idea work but it sounds shady. I don’t see how this has any value to legitimate traders. Let me know if I misunderstood though.
OP was working on a survey ship, as mentioned in another thread.
I lived in America for most of my life. I raised three children. Every parent I’ve known, myself included, and my own parents, made sacrifices for their children and would sacrifice more if necessary.

I live in SE Asia now. I see lots of devoted parents making sacrifices, just like most parents everywhere.

I’ve seen selfish and negligent parents in the US, and in SE Asia. Those parents occur everywhere.

Some Asian cultures emphasize the extended family, and children taking care of their parents later in life, perhaps more than Americans or westerners emphasize that.

America doesn’t have much of a pension system either, and lots of adult children care for their aging parents.
Not sure if everyone knows just how easy making something like this is. This kind of an app takes less than one week to develop, using the OpenAI function calling API.
I know for sure most people don't know either of them.

But, more people know the name Intel from those Intel stickers on those old laptops people used back in the day.

So because those worked fine for them, they just choose to ask for the same name, making Intel over AMD.

I'm sure there are more factors than just these that make Intel the most popular CPU brand, but this is the best one I could think.

I like this anecdote because it's the exact opposite of what I've seen in Dubai, Doha, Riyadh and practically any city where they're building up massive infrastructure. The government has a vision for a certain skyline to take shape, so small scale residential don't really find much government support. On the other hand, the governments strongly encourage a 70-storey residential skyscraper with a wonky rad shape, because why not? The end result is a massive oversupply of homes - there was a such a large glut that prices remained depressed even now, except for Dubai after the Russo-Ukrainian war. My cousin lives in a cozy 3 bedroom rental in Dammam, just outside Aramco City (the part where all the Western oil engineers live and where there are American schools and bars and stuff), for a tenth of what I pay for my tiny apartment in Zurich (which is at the typical level for any non-sharing home for a major city worldwide).

If living in a liberalizing autocracy doesn't rock your boat, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are nice options. I've seen a lot of Israeli techies moving to the UAE too.

You say 'mass produced' and 'plastic' as if these were obviously bad things, but why?

Mass production brings down costs and makes it economical for manufacturers to spend more on R&D. If Apple was selling only as many iPhones as Cannon sells cameras, you'd be paying through the roof for all the advanced technology that goes into the iPhone camera system. I'd also point out that all modern lenses and cameras are mass produced. The lenses are not hand-ground!

Plastic moulded lenses enable aspheric designs that would be impractical or impossible to make out of glass. Given the size constraints imposed on smartphone camera lenses, the lenses would probably perform worse, not better, if they were made out of glass (which would require totally different optical designs).

> One is overwhelming technical debt. […]

This sounds like an organisation with bigger problems than a single manager. The devs hate the job, but don't have the clout to convince management to let them do things properly? Run. It's not worth it. An organisation doesn't suddenly "heal" once a bad apple is gone. More likely, everybody is at least five years behind current best practice, and very much used to doing things that way.
That is true for everyday use, but false in a legal context.

Try saying that a product contains x when it contains y. For example, extra olive oil that contains gutter oil. In certain contexts you will have to explain to a judge that language is not prescriptive and you committed fraud, and maybe harmed people in the process.

It is hard to make it an "exact science" when we don't have actual long periods of competition driven innovation to juxtapose. But there are plenty of hints. Take for example the story of RISC. The architecture is only now being "rediscovered" after being crushed for decades.

If such a no click ACE is the mother of all exploits, it could be a little harder to patch, especially for your average end user. If that's not the case, then maybe the advantage to it might be that it can run on the hardware you need it to for a specific use case, but that itself is a big disadvantage for most other use cases. If neither are true, then are they worth the same amount? What makes one ACE better than another?

Let's say this exploit did exist, and it was better for some reason. Then maybe I shouldn't use it, instead I use a cheap one time use exploit on a target that would cause it to be patched anyway.

"Despite economic volatility, jobseekers in the US and UK have maintained their salary expectations at $146,000 and 82,000 pounds a year."

No doubt some folks think that because they were paid at rate of X during times of zero interest rates and rampant dumb money injections from VC that they are now "worth X". Right.

The rest of the economy is generally doing quite well. It's the fantasy world of Silicon Valley "innovation", where "software engineers" try to overvalue themselves, even believing they are "professionals", and VC feed this silly delusion, that is taking a hit.

Reality is returning. After a long vacation.
