There is very little incentive for engineers to spend a lot of time on support at big tech. In fact it detracts time from their projects which tie to their performance review.

Internally big tech would need to prioritise customer satisfaction as some OKR to incentivise engineers - but this doesn’t happen for some reason. As a result you’re at the whim of whether the engineer cares enough to spend time on your case.

Note in my experience AWS has great support - so their internal incentives seem to be aligned with customers.
I am fully aware of what the topic is about. I'm just pointing out that the English language and native English speakers definitely use the concept of mom's mom and dad's mom without the needing "official" words like "momdad" and "dadmom" because the person I responded to said

> I am fairly sure English doesn't have (or at least does not use) separate everyday words for farmor/farfar.

They then said you would need "academic" language to describe mom's mom and dad's mom. That's why I said I could not tell if they were serious. Anyway, I think you would be surprised if you asked English speakers what they call their grandparents. I personally used memere and grandma to distinguish between my mom's mom and my dad's mom. The point I'm making is that not having specific words for these relationships does not make English speakers unaware of the difference.
You can always call any theory about consciousness "pseudoscience" because consciousness is subjective individual experience and the scientific method requires shared consensus which it calls "objective".

By definition if you delve into consciousness you're doomed to be called a scammer sooner or later. And any experiments that could prove or disprove a theory of consciousness would be labeled unethical as it'd require messing with the brain of an intelligent being which can communicate back their experience (i.e. humans).

For this reason I'd say keep all theories at an arm's distance and keep exploring the space. Any confirmation or dismissal of a theory of consciousness is unwarranted jump to conclusions.

Why does a moving electric charge cause magnetism? Why does moving integrated information cause consciousness? We have no clue and yet it's a fact. We're only at the start of this journey and the best we can do is ensure we travel the path long enough to learn more "why-s" before we wipe ourselves out.
Anyone doing this for cars? I feel cars are much worse than browsers in terms of screwing their buyers and much easier to topple.

But it's important to remember that just because someone is laughing at you doesn't mean you will definitely win.
> selling this work would be copyright infringement. There’s no ambiguity there.

>Generating it would not.

Are you sure about that? My understanding is that under US copyright law the copyright owner has the exclusive right "to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work."

Which is to say, a derivative work - which this would certainly be - would legally still be infringing even if it were not distributed.

not at all. I feel (this data is from running SEM for large website(s)) that Google earns most of their revenue from tactical searches. For instance, most people search for website names instead of typing the url. This creates a massive tactical search traffic base for google and brings largest revenue for them. There is a huge competition in this category as most competitors bid on others.

Similarly, product searches are second largest category in which they make tonnes of money. This is also done by people as they don't really like to search on amazon or other ecommerce sites. This is also a huge money spinner for them.

Both of these are not going anywhere as both of these are tactical spends.

Now let us come to long tail. These are again big money and are at risk for Google. However, you have to understand that Goog ads are clicked by most tier 2 users. We, techies, do not really click at ads. We go for organic ranking (mostly). We are the base of chatGPT right now. Tier 2 and lower users don't really use chatgpt.

Even if they do, they would not do it for product discovery or site discovery as it has too much friction: go to chat.openai.com, type in your question, it responds in slow, jerky manner vs just type in browser bar what you are thinking.

To top it, Chatgpt also has stale data. Moreover, it is heavily lobotomized to not give any controversial or edgy answers. This curtails usefulness of chatgpt.
I was thinking that just now and will rewatch this evening! Any other recommendations of the same vibe?
Incentives don’t align. The casino needs speed, but the slower the contractor is the more they get paid. You could say all employment is like this but would anyone take a $100/h

iMessage is sandboxed, and does attachment processing in yet another sandbox (the exploit is named BLASTpass as it circumvents this). These days iMessage itself is probably more tightly sandboxed than other apps.

It sounds like the exploit was triggered in another process by iMessage forwarding the post-parse attachment content to that process - the blog post says this is passkit related so I assume any app that has passkit interaction could do this. iMessage is simply universally available so why use a different medium.
This seems more political than scientific, despite originating from scientists.

I came to similar beliefs from some very personal experiences outside of the field, and it's just that -- a belief. Trying to turn something that's not really easily provable or not into a labeled 'pseudoscience' or 'not pseudoscience' kind of thing seems to just be asking for grief.

It sort of reminds me of the hullabaloo around a lot of things way back when historically, where the general opinion ended up being horridly wrong. It seems to me like one of the unifying threads was how politically motivated and communicated the outcry was. Again, just an opinion on my part.

I can't say what the nature for reality is or isn't. I do find appreciation in an idea, as another post here alluded to, of consciousness being an illusion of experience.

An analogy that I think of is how a rope gets tied up in a knot. The knot is information, it adds information, it does not change the rope.

But also my beliefs do come from a belief in a more unified metaphysical 'thing' (as it were, to really simplify my belief into a silly analogy) that makes us all up, so a lot of the ideas for me come as our own self concepts being like these temporary hurricanes or bits of self-sustaining 'knots' of information that live for a time, and then pass on (with or without the body experiencing them, as a part of this greater 'thing').

Again, these are just a sort of partial translation of what I believe. Apologies if I explained it poorly.

I think spiritual things are hard to study scientifically, and I feel that duality is alright. As others have noted here, you could call many theories "pseudoscience" by the very same logic as the above, as best as I understand it. :'((((

Unless there's a clear and present harm I don't see much reason in political pressure to suppress the idea. Perhaps I'm missing something here, unfortunately. I don't think I know the whole story yet, there has to be a cohesive explanation for how this (potential) rift has formed. :'))))
We went with her to a physiotherapist when she started crawling in an uneven fashion - with one leg always extended sideways.

Apparently this is what babies do when they're not stimulated properly in the limbs and have built-up tension in the muscles and compensate for it.

Long term effects include one's default posture being like that of Mr. Burns from the Simpsons - with wrists in a sort of T-rex position:

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ed/e3/b6/ede3b668d617f03927aca5ca5...

It's easy to fix - you just have to squeeze the baby's limbs a lot so that they learn their body's boundaries and challenge them to use their whole body by tactically putting toys out of reach.

Unfortunately all this takes time, so being there to do it is invaluable.
>The newspapers are the masters of the cheap and nasty rhetoric I referred to in my first post on this subject.

Yeah, and you were wrong. Newspaper rhetoric is not a tenth as cheap and nasty as what you hear from fascist assholes like the AfD.
I resonate with your the experience you describe, from a different place. Your post reminds me of a quote from Kierkegaard:
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable, insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"
Falkon uses QtWebEngine, which uses Blink, Google Chrome's engine.

Which is a shame, because as a KDE user, I would consider using Falkon otherwise.

It's extra painful knowing that KDE built KHTML, used by Apple to build WebKit, used by Google to build Blink…

You are quoting out of context, losing the meaning of the quotes.

The conclusion of Eileen's talk is that by not following with upgrade and essentially forking Rails 2.3 they painted themselves in a corner. They took short term gains, and produced longs term losses. It's a self induced problem.

In the end they upgraded and are now tracking the main branch, so the problem wasn't Rails.
I don't see why UK and US should avoid confrontation with India, if there were solid evidence to back up these claims. After all the entire western world is up in arms over similar cavalier behaviour exhibited by Russia and China. There is literally no reason to pull back from China when India shows similar tendencies.

I'm betting the evidence, if there is any, is just hearsay BS.

The financial motive is to get people looking at your website so you can sell things. SEO has always been an arms race, and I don't see how it can not be that. Occasionally there's a paradigm shift that causes one side to get massively ahead (e.g. the original Pagerank). But eventually things settle back down.
Trying to dig into their statement is a moot point:
R Kelly on Youtube Music is alive and well. You can argue, that it's separate from Youtube. But then here is a search result for R Kelly https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=r+kelly I assume those those videos that come up copyrighted content and someone gets monetization for it? And he his not been merely accused, but convicted.

There are other examples if you dig. This Brand is a tool and can't stand him, but this all happens conveniently right when he gained a little bit of traction by being an outspoken critique of the government.
Do ddg has a public api or are these search wrapper in violation of ddg tos?

Also gpt gets expensive real fast if any of the linked result is long enough, and no search augmented result over the search engine snippet is often not enough to answer the question. And you are not accounting for the cost of where langchain or similar tooling runs.

That said I haven't tested yet fastgpt searches, so quality is still unknown. It is useful however to have a real api with a real tos, a clear pricing model and good enough is great to have in the toolbox, compared to a library that may or may not work for unknown stretches of times.
Yeah you're not doing it in 7 days

Total pay for this would be 1100 * 7 so, 7700 for one crazy week? (IF you only spend 10hr/day, which I doubt very much)

Yeah, I don't think that will happen. Maybe for a 4 wk commitment at least
> What is mind-boggling to me is that it includes an actual, physical, hardware Gameboy Advance CPU in it for when it's playing Gameboy Advanced games.

The reasoning why as pointed out by the article makes it even more mind-boggling to me. It includes the GBA CPU almost by accident, because Nintendo took a Matroshka doll approach to backwards compatibility.

The Nintendo 3DS contains the entire system architecture of the Nintendo DSi for backwards compatibility (the DSi CPU also functions as a supervisor CPU of the system), which is mostly an overclocked variety of the original Nintendo DS architecture. The first two Nintendo DS models contained a GBA slot for backwards compatibility and therefore also contain the GBA's original ARM7TDMI. The Nintendo DS also used this as an auxiliary processor for various things. The reason the GBA hardware is there is because Nintendo kept shipping their previous gen hardware in the new generation twice over.

As part of the that Ambassador Program you mention, Nintendo released a boot firmware for the 3DS called "AGB_FIRM" to boot into Game Boy Advance mode (another being "TWL_FIRM" to boot into Nintendo DS mode). If you hack your 3DS today it can be made to load other Game Boy Advance software and essentially achieves perfect backwards compatibility and runs GBA games with perfect accuracy, modulo any GBA peripherals that were popular.
I‘m using Kagi for a month now and switched over all my devices to Kagi as a default search engine. I tried doing the same with DDG a while ago but it never really stuck, with Kagi I’m happy and was actually sad when I ran out of credits and had to use Google until I increased my quota. For the first time since I started using Google the search interface looked clunky and unfamiliar after getting used to Kagi for a month.

This couldn’t have come at a better time as I was a bit hesitant to add another subscription while still keeping in mind the additional searches I might have to pay on top. Signed up for a year!
The article lists potential societal causes, among other things. The fact that Mayo is not "the left" if anything makes my point stronger. If this is the "institutional" view, imagine the actual left-wing view (that I was too lazy to google)!

An institution that is barely left leaning describes one of the major causes of female depression (in turn a major cause of suicide) as being, to use a shorthand, patriarchy - i.e. some problem with men. The causes of increased suicides in men, as far as I've read, are also various problems with men.

Which is exactly the point I was making... see also, violence and incarceration, etc.

Unsure why you’re being downvoted - bizarre.

Anyways, I agree completely. Life long struggle with anxiety and depression. Most of my issues come from ignoring my worst feelings and not dealing with them. I find the idea of suppressing feelings to be bizarre for treating clinical issues. Maybe that’s why mindfulness only ever provided me temporary relief.
Do you always have direct line of sight between the marker and where you're walking? Probably not, given the forest background, but it never hurts to ask. If so you make the problem quite a bit simpler.
The link marked "(German)" in the post is actually in English and has some more info and screenshots: https://www.amigashop.org/product_info.php?products_id=386

Looking at the screenshots (https://www.amigashop.org/images/Screenshot%206.jpg), the first thing I noticed is the abundance of verbs: look at, open, close, pull, push, look around, use, turn on, turn off, go to, turn around, take, give - that's got to be a record...

Yes, please, tell all those auditors, security scanner vendors and journalists that they should treat CVEs with this knowledge. That having report with "1 critical vulnerability (CVE-2082-555) !!!!" does not mean that you have a security problem, and your equipment vendor has to drop everything and go fix that.

You are telling me what CVE is.
I am telling you what the effect of having CVE is.
Yeah, anything can be implemented incorrectly. My point was specifically that ignoring memory safe languages in favor of post-exploit mitigation is foolish, not that the latter is useless.

But in practice, type systems can be proven to be sound, implementations of type checkers can be proven correct, and while it’s still possible to make mistakes there, that isn’t so much an issue in mathematics, simply because of how rigorous it is. This does not just include type systems, there’s even an effort to rebase the foundation of mathematics on a type system instead of set theory!

In other words, we likely agree that steel vaults can have holes. But we probably also agree that an average steel vault is better in keeping things in or out of it than a velvet curtain.
Running out of disk space (or inodes!) is probably how everyone running a server learns about monitoring and alerts

God I hate XKCD so much. It's a blight on the internet. I just get unreasonably angry whenever I see a link posted. This is just me venting.
Perhaps you would understand if you accepted that some of us feel like we're surrounded by weeds, weeds that cloud our vision and impede our movement, which prevent us from detecting any beauty or value in our garden; we've forgotten what roses and tomatoes look like altogether.

Therefore, our approach and solutions are different from what you're espousing.
That question seems synonymous with "are those [current] behemoth LLMs close to optimal?" and it seems obvious that they are not.

I wonder what ideas there are about how one could estimate the optimal size.

I'd guess the issue with that project is that it is mostly a single person effort and if that person is busy with other projects/repos/real life, they might not have the bandwidth to keep-up with the review, loose interest or maybe did not notice the PR update in the stream of incoming requests.

I guess the community (if there is any) can request to have more maintainers added to the repository to share the burden, else you still have the option to fork the repo and publish it under a different name.
Well it can be. To me, my spouse's sibling's husband is just...my spouse's sibling's husband and nothing else. Some vague acquaintance I may vaguely see once every decade when someone die or get married in my spouse family.

It really depends how tight knit families are and how families are spread accross the world. I have to take a plane and cross some borders in order to visit my parents or my sibling's and same applies to my partner so there is that.
