The Downfall Mitigation Impact for Xeon E-2300 Series on Linux 6.5
TLDR:

"The primary reason to introduce a new example is when the LLM is incorrectly identifying technology as ABSTRACT vs not, missing connections, or even missing resources entirely. However, we don’t have unlimited tokens for every example we might need. An optimization we came up with here is Dynamic Examples using pre-filtering. Instead of providing examples that would generalize to everything, we focus the examples on what we can guess is in the queries.

We extract a list of technologies using word lists, which is easier than extracting their intents, and if we don’t find many matches, we assume that more ABSTRACT resources are present. Once extracted, we can then create a custom prompt by selecting specific examples to the technologies mentioned in the query and a set of bedrock examples including baseline rules for the different actions that expand language understanding."
Spyware companies would be a good guess. There's a lot of money to be made in helping abusers spy on their partners and/or kids by installing malware on their devices, and of course there's a big enterprise/govt market for that as well whether your goal is to capture dissidents, bust internal unions, or do a little industrial espionage.
There is always going to be people who against any new technology and who makes up reasons to be against it.

The best defence is to move so quickly that you are an established part of the business framework by the time these forces can gather, or to go so slowly that nobody takes you as a threat.

No startup can go slowly.
It's disturbing that nowhere in this article is importance given to the emotional needs of both parties. As a man (5'7"), I have always felt that being 'graded' like meat was offensive, and yes, I realize that women have similar (and probably worse) problems. In such an environment I see no benefit from a relationship, only emotional and financial risks.
From my admittedly limited experience KMM is a complete mess.
There doesn't seem to be a reasonable feature set across platforms.
Even the standard library has massive holes, forcing you to littler your code with expect/actuals everywhere.
This might be manageable for my own code, but completely destroys the ecosystem.
A very large number of important libraries only works the JVM. Jetpack Compose and Compose Multiplatform are also not the same. I typically can't use libs written for Jetpack Compose in Compose Multiplatform.
They are likely wise enough not to threaten a community that’s doing tons of valuable free work for them.

On your last question ethics in particular is rather interesting. I think it's the field where the decline of philosophy is most obvious.

Ethics is supposed to answer real-life questions, like "How do I live a moral life?".

Yet philosophical movements, that actually tired to answer such questions, like the stoics and the epicureans are long gone. When you read on the actual writings of contemporary philosophers you'd see impossible moral standards - "It takes 5 dollars to save a starving African child, a night out with friends is the equivalent to abandoning a bus of drowning children to their deaths"[1]

It's impossible to live by such philosophy, except for those that think of themselves as some sort of creature of pure evil who cares nothing of right and wrong.

Because philosophy is useless as a guidance to life, right and wrong are now decided by the encyclical, the fatwa and the resolutions at the party congress, depending on your religion.

KSP2 had all the warning signs of being a disaster ever since the initial delays and controversies with the original studio. Unfortunately, as usual, the community put on hype blinders until it became impossible to ignore.
Where i live you have to have your chimney cleaned yearly by an accredited technician. My appartment has a chimney that i don't use (and that i thought was blocked off).

Cue a group of 3 technicians at my front door, demanding first that i let them in, then that i pay 100 euros right here right now for their services that i had to do legally or i would face a fine. I looked up the service they were offering and it did seem to be an actual mandatory thing, but a government website mentionned that it normally cost 70 euros. I told them i felt too rushed and that they insisted too much, and that it didn't matter what the truth was, i wasn't paying them to do this. They left.

I later confirmed that they were telling the truth (though i have no way of verifying if they're accredited, i choose to believe that they are) with the management company. I still feel this tinge that you feel when you realize you've been scammed despite never giving them anything.

Sorry for rambling, just recounting how even when you show up in person i still feels like a scam. I find questioning the profit motive of persons that contact you very effective at weeding out scams.
> it's finding its way back to serious consideration after years of being pushed to the underground

It was used in a therapy-like way for all those (underground) years, not strictly for dancing/clubs/house parties. People had informal couples therapy, or trauma therapy where painful memories surfaced and they could be dealt with in a safe space free of inhibitions. Only now it's more formal and the doctors are involved.
Shouldn't have to pya $5k in rent either but here we are. People should be allowed to make tradeoffs that they deem beneficial.

Every job that I feel is "beneath me" is a fake job.

Of course the job I do is by definition a "real job", as is any job I'd like to do.

Any job that is icky and I don't want to do is also a real job, of course. Even if paid less than fake ones.

(heh above is pretty accurate for most people, though they won't admit it).
My house is new construction (although I had no input to the construction) and it wasn't wired for ethernet which is crazy to me. Although it is at least wired with coax so I just bought 2 pairs of MoCA adapters and now I have wired connections where I want them.
You can't create a backup in iTunes (or wipe the phone) without entering the passcode on your device, right? And that's the issue that OP has in the first place. Is it still possible to enter your password via an HID device (e.g. a keyboard with lighting cable)?
If in doubt, look towards churches. They're always neck deep in anything involving sex or sexuality, mostly to distract from their own considerable issues.
I'm just not sure that is true. Have you been seeing what is happening in German politics recently? And Germany is a fairly moderate country all things considered. There are plenty of European countries where 'alt'-right ultranationalism is very prevalent
You can rent a Tesla from Hertz for $40-50 per day, and they are currently including the Supercharger fees (at least I didn't get charged for it the last two times I took one).
> aren’t that many killer products

You've got to be kidding me. Maybe for text. But what about video training neural nets? I could list killer products for days.
I fear such a service may simply tread the same path as Wikia.

Also, any hosting platform has to balance user control over extensions and customisations, on the one hand, with system reliability on the other. You can't easily delegate control of extension installation to Wiki administrators, unless you give them console access.

The Minecraft Wiki is currently hosted by Weird Gloop which is the entity responsible for the forked RuneScape Wikis, and they manage the servers directly: https://weirdgloop.org/

The harder bit is convincing people to move, and trying to beat Fandom on Google. One of the reasons they picked Weird Gloop is the experience in this space - they've pretty much won the battle in respect of the RuneScape Wikis, which have sat dormant for years.
Would probably qualify under "vandalism"
Is that really connected to the loss of staff? I get the impression that many of the advertisers dropped Twitter for political reasons not because some API wasn't as rock solid as it used to be.
More saliently they did all that but also set a full retail price on the EA game as well.
In the US pollution per capita is one of the highest on the planet. So flat electricity consumption is not really sufficient to save the planet. A significant reduction would be needed.
Chromium-based (QtWebEngine) would probably be more accurate. While Blink technically was WebKit at some point, it's been quite a while.

(Also you can still technically run qutebrowser with a QtWebKit from 2016, but I definitely can't recommend doing that)
And this still exists in the USA - it's just much MUCH less common in the high-cost areas, for obvious reasons.
How do you know they didn't install a hardware rootkit while they were repairing your phone?

(btw, this is partially the logic of why Apple wants to forbid uncertified third party repairs)
Yeah. There is this weird meme that there is no space to build in the bay. But at the density I’d say Hong Kong (which is an extreme) you could probably have 100 million people in there. Tokyo you could have 50 million. There’s only limited space when you assume the only thing you can build is suburban office parks, single story strip malls, and single family homes.
Also the fact that you cannot see any tweet or essentially even visit the website without a forced login prompt drives potential visits/eyes/views/users away— this is probably the stupidest thing they have done.
You seem to have made an uninformed opinion where you saw some people struggling to do one thing, and just assumed they were doing something completely different.

Those people writing monad tutorials (those are written about as often as they are read) aren't trying to learn how to do I/O.
You should think more about it.
"Believe" means you are willing to consider some results as premises for your next deduction.
Did you get a sense of the stress level or work/life balance of the role?

I do think it is much different from the past twenty years. Twenty years ago we didn't have ChatGPT. There are things we could compare it to, but there also isn't anything like it.

My biggest fear is just a lack of jobs.

When people need experience to work, and the work you give to people to give them experience is replaced by ChatGPT - then what do we do?

Of course there will still be companies hiring people, but when leadership is telling people to save money - it seems much cheaper to use ChatGPT that it is to train someone.

Why hire a kid that has been using AI, when the AI can just do the work? Or if a kid that has been using AI can do the work of 20 people, what happens to the 19 people that can't find work? Will we be in a place where we need 20 people doing the work of 20 people each? Is that need actually there?

I do very much appreciate your view. I feel like I waffle back and forth between what I'm saying here and your comment.

I apologize for coming across doomer-ish. It is sometimes hard for me to imagine a future for kids growing up with ChatGPT.
I need it to help me dismount and remount my engine, that’d be the ultimate test
I think building a post-scarcity society would be incredibly profitable, so then the question is why we're not just doing that. This is from last week's outro of a fantasy fiction podcast I enjoy. It says it better than I ever could:

Musings on art being the seat of the soul feel particularly timely in this, the year of our generative-AI pyramid schemes. I doubt I am alone among this audience in feeling like the only time I transcend my brief, mortal self is when I create something that did not exist before–that, ironically, I only feel connected to eternity when I create something ephemeral, be it a story to be read, loved then forgotten, or a photograph to snatch at time’s relentless march, or even a moment of roleplay among friends. The one thing that dims that flame is the contemporary capitalist urge to monetise–to derive economic value from every moment of our lives and every movement of our souls, to view everything through the lens of content. It’s perhaps strange to state this from the outro of a pro-paying market, I guess–I never was any good at knowing when not to run my mouth–but then I think there is a difference between that pressure to proffer everything up to the free market, versus us paying writers and narrators so they can afford to devote the time to their art, in a world where there is, haha, relentless pressure to earn money, a pressure primarily created through artificial scarcity and the coercive threats of starvation and homelessness.

I literally think that MDMA saved my life. I was absolutely _broken_ when I came out of high school -- bullied at home and at school just relentlessly for 12 years. Completely unable to relate to other human beings, afraid of being touched, never had a girl friend or any kind of real friendship.

Going to rave and having people -- strangers! -- just hug me, and listen to me, and I'd listen to them and we could just talk to each other like normal people without this undercurrent of constant anxiety and fear of rejection. It was a miracle to me. And I mean that in both the banal sense and the religious sense. It wasn't just the interpersonal aspects of it, but like -- having these feelings of joy and happiness and seeing the beauty of the world wash over me in almost an overwhelming way despite the fact that absolutely _nothing_ had really changed about the world made me understand how much of my own unhappiness was internal, that i could _choose_ to see the world in a better light all the time -- not just when I was on drugs, but at any time, it was just a matter of perspective, and something that you have some level of control over.

I went from being someone who was almost completely isolated and withdrawn to learning how to DJ, to DJing at the _very same club_ that opened the world to me. I had a girlfriend within a few months, I had dozens of friends, I had a better paying job within a year, largely through connections I made at the club. I honestly think I'd have just turned into a homeless alcoholic or something without that experience. I have a hard time even imagining where I'd have ended up. I barely recognize the person that walked into that club the first night.

It's a tragedy that this drug isn't available to more people. I overdid it. A lot of people over did it, but 20 years later I don't regret any of it for a moment, even the bad nights.
A comment says a dev tool got included by mistake
I have an external garage building that I'd love to turn into a small ADU, but it's not allowed in my area.

Additionally, if you look at historical cheap rentals of the past, you see things like tenement buildings, which were arguably horrible, but provided a cheap alternate to homelessness.

You can also see examples of what low rent places look like today in Asian countries, such as Hong Kong tiny apartments. Many of those types of residences are not allowed by local government policies.

An actual $500 a month rental is going to be really tiny, might have a shared bathroom and kitchen with other units. And these are all things that are often disallowed by government policies.
Agree. People use upvote to like or agree a comment. A down vote inversely function the same way. He thinks he is view so special and deserves no downvotes at all. What a character.
Investors cannot magically make rentals profitable at these prices and interest rates.
Unless it puts a stop to the spying, it's not working as intended, no.
That's an argument for extrajudicial punishment though. If anything, that's an argument in favor of sealing the court.

There are good reasons to have open proceedings but providing the public more opportunities to spin sound bites into hate-mobbing isn't one of them.
> Isn't there any value in having variance in the generated responses?

Sure, which is why the technique is used. But that doesn't mean "random" is a useful descriptor. I, as a human, try to add variance to my responses as well - does that mean my mind is "random"?

That's why my point is that there is no inherent randomness in the process. We use a bit of randomness to make it subjectively better, but it's fundamentally not random.

It gets worse because they don't consider the current $50 price to be 'full price'. They claim it's the discounted EA price and full retail would be higher.
Maybe living impassively at the top of a rich world hegemony while children are starving is wrong but we are too used to it to notice.
Why wouldn't shareholders object to dilution and increasing personnel costs in what might look like a lack of cost controls? And, yes, executives don't necessarily like cost programs so much because they are disruptive.

The bit about HFs wanting to engineer downward wage pressure is a bit crazy (also given the small influence on most big corporations) - evidence needed, I'd say, before credible. What would be credible is HFs expecting downward pressure on wages if there were larger tech redundancies.
I live in one of those places. This is a medium cost of living area. That's how much rent has gone up in the past decade in most places that they've raised the de facto minimum wage to 11 bucks, and I wasn't even counting those who live at the real edges. I'm talking about people who are doing reasonably but not excessively well for themselves with high school degrees.
I've explored this space pretty thoroughly, including the Dynamo approach you've described. Dynamo does not have a strict guarantee on when items get deleted:

TTL typically deletes expired items within a few days. Depending on the size and activity level of a table, the actual delete operation of an expired item can vary. Because TTL is meant to be a background process, the nature of the capacity used to expire and delete items via TTL is variable (but free of charge). [0]

Because of that limitation, I would not use that approach. Instead I would do Scheduled Lambdas to check for items every 15 minutes in a Serverless Aurora and then add them to SQS with delays.

I've had my eye on this problem for a few years and keep thinking that a simple SaaS that does one-shot scheduled actions would probably be a worthy side project. Not enough to build a company around, but maintenance would be low and there's probably some pricing that would attract enough customers to be sustainable.

Google is very picky about who they hire depending on which org you're being hired for, since you need to basically win a bunch of dice rolls to get interviewers who

1) understand what you're being interviewed for (are you a linux kernel programmer? better hope they don't assign you an Android Java Frontend guy)

2) are good at interviewing (this is a difficult skill!)

and 3) don't dislike you for any particular reason
Well, I still believe it's going to be good eventually. Like KSP1, for example, or No Man's Sky. There certainly have both the resources and a guaranteed player base to make that happen.

That said, I cannot be sure of that, so I will not buy it until it is actually good.
Okay, but the text model Getty and Firefly are using, that was trained on LAION2b. So it’s all bullshit.
I naively dropped out of grad school to cofound a startup where I was pushed out at the 11th hour before it was acquired. Took some personal time off to process the fallout and have been doing some consulting the past couple years.

No network. No achievements. No notable educational or professional institutions on the CV. Just what feels like an ever-narrowing path to any sort of career success.
As far as I can see you are the apathetic one here. Complaining about NIMBYs won't actually solve the problem. We need realistic solutions, especially short term ones, and these rooms are absolutely part of that. When the alternative is homelessness these units are unequivocally good.
I knew it was going to be a disaster as soon it became obvious that it was a continuation of the old code base, which has a lot of fundamental issues.
All 3. There are over 500 extensions. Lock in your .ai for 10 years if you can. Really all of them. Have a great day.
There's a huge amount of work required to convert offices into actual housing people would want. Biggest and most costly step is you have to completely change the plumbing to add in unit access to water and sewage. Even if you make it super low income housing and convince people to accept shared facilities like a dorm you're still missing showers and laundry.
People always do things "because they want to" - even if forced to do it at gunpoint (they could choose to die, of course).

Things on many metrics are likely better now than any point in human history, but people's perceptions of that are way off.

But it doesn't change that there are people who would like to start a family and feel they can't. Obviously they can, as the mechanics of it all hasn't changed in the last million years, but they choose not to.
Starfield 1.7.33
It was surprising how often I'd be talking to a _complete stranger_ at a nightclub and we'd just start sharing childhood traumatic experiences in between trying to id tracks.
Sure -- but why require engineers to come into the office, but not every other role?
The "complete" part is thanks to thousands of fans contributing content, the "shitty" part is "thanks" to the company that makes money from that crowdsourced content. It's the same sad story for lots of wikis, some of them pretty high profile like Wookiepedia (Star Wars), Memory Alpha (Star Trek) etc.
The article did not mention Cambodia, but I hear Sihanoukville is a ghost town.

It was once a main center for Chinese investment in a close political ally (some would say a country corrupted by Chinese cash).

But it was killed by overzealous Chinese COVD travel restrictions, and now the recession in China.
