Of note, Canada's deputy prime minister has a masters degree from Harvard in slavic studies and wrote a book about Russia. They knew what army the guy fought for, it's unlikely that she or anyone else who knew about history could really not have known if they'd thought about it at all.
Can you expand on your last point? AFAIK, whe you're part of layoffs you get unemployment benefits.
If what Google does - closely observing us, collecting the data for further analysis, often without our knowledge or permission - is not surveillance, then what it is? Which word should we use to describe these activities?
Do you expect each MP to individually vet the guests that other MPs have invited to the house?

The fault here lies in the pathetic vetting done by the MP that invited him (the Speaker no less). And he'll likely resign or be fired shortly.
Who wants to do that? I assume you're talking about large language models? They are great at making word soup, but not great at diagnosis.

There have been expert systems since the 90's that perform better on average than doctors when diagnosing illness in patients, and / or help doctors make better decisions.
have you tried florisboard? i would probably use that as my main keyboard but the way it doesn't add a space after words when you swipe something kind of bugs me, especially after getting so used to it with other keyboards
I doubt it would happen in Labour's first term, it would suck up all of their time and energy and give the pro-Brexit crowd endless fodder to attack them with. It could be a second term project, or maybe even a risky re-election bid if they perceive that it might win them enough votes to secure another term.

This is complicated by the fact that the whole process of re-joining would likely take longer than a single term to complete, and the EU is unlikely to start that process until they believe that support for it in the UK is strong enough that the whole thing won't just be abandoned part way through due to a change of policy or party in government.
> The lawsuit claimed that Leone (like other cheaters Bungie's legal team has taken on in the past) had broken copyright law by using cheat software with a graphical overlay owned by Bungie, claiming that the use of "inject[ed] code" had created "unauthorized derivative work" that violates US copyright law.

Can't you create whatever the hell derivative works you want, as long as you don't distribute them?
Exactly. A lot of investment market charts are zoomed in like that because small deviations can matter a lot, and you don't want the base price (or whatever measure you're looking at) to swamp the signal.
Could you cite the part of the agreement that Israel is not complying with?
That's good news. I've been cheering for them since the 1st undersea cable deployment was announced (the one that fell through).
In Safari or Chrome, none of them.

Arc seems somewhat resistant to large memory grab issues, but the Notion database kills it as well.
I really like the additional controls AnySoftKeyboard[1] brings: I like to configure it so that it always displays a left/right arrow above the keyboard to move the cursor. And if you "lift" (gesture up) the space key, there is an additional copy/paste (with clipboard manager)/arrows/selection/undo/redo/etc menu, which is quite useful[2].

Unfortunately I stopped using it in favor of OpenBoard[3] due to subpar autocorrect, especially when typing in French[4].

My internet connection will suffer this night! Thanks a lot!
NPR seems to be one of the most reliable sources in America.
And they want it to perform proofreading. And to generate copy for articles and blog posts and job listings and email responses. And to respond to tech support tickets. And to operate a phone tree. And, heaven help us, to write software, and - oh God no - to drive cars.

The problem is that people are actually finding it useful for all of those things!

I, too, would never have drawn up a functional specification for a product release which said the product might hallucinate and might be parrot incorrect facts about eggs melting if you phrase the question wrong[edit: if you insert an incorrect premise in the question], or might drive into a bus if it had a mural printed on the side. I'd have required correct performance to a lot more 9s before releasing the thing to the public than the products which have been released to the public demonstrate, or at least required a confidence metric that would allow the product to respond with an error message and escalate to a human if it thought it might fail (for tech support, not for self-driving cars, obviously).

And yet here we are. Turns out people and corporations do find utility in hallucination-prone, often-wrong, easily misled, easily confused LLM chatbots. And they'll strap a weight to the wheel of their Tesla so they can stare at their phone while it drives them on Autopilot.
Yes, things were much better as a result, no.
The best part of this article is perhaps the following critique of ngrams and by extension their popular use in modern algorithms:

> The text of Etymonline is built entirely from print sources, and is done entirely by human beings. Ngrams are not. They are unreliable, a sloppy product of an ignorant technology, one made to sell and distract, one never taught the difference between "influence" and "inform."

> Why are they on the site at all? Because now, online, pictures win and words lose. The war is over; they won.

One never taught the difference between "influence" and "inform". What a scathing rebuke of our modern world and the social media that is part of it. Algorithms that attempt to quantify human speech and interaction and get it wrong most of the time in their quest to maximize their owner's profits.

This somber warning is especially poignant in an age more and more ruled by generative AI, which I'm told is essentially an ngram predictor.
I always have to think of the Wu Ming Foundation/former Luther Blisset collective and their fake news/LARPing missions[1] that showed how easy it was to fool major news outlets back in the 90s. Too bad that now those same techniques have been weaponized with great success.

Did you apply semantics? I think so
I use AMD64 containers on my
M1 Pro under Docker Desktop with zero problems. It’s about 10-20% slower than my AMD64 Linux machine on average, which is usually fast enough.
> Surely a lot of communications are within a continent, not needing deep sea cables?

Why? Lots of packets flowing in all types of directions, even if I'm just writing to my neighbor on Whatsapp. I'd be surprised if even 10% of my packets never left the (European) continent. Maybe it'd look differently if I lived in North America.
What's the solution? A powerful enough regulatory framework to fine (or otherwise punish) proven misinformation?

Even then it's probably hard to prove that insufficient checking was performed at publication time
Like AWS SQS? Others provide at least once processing as well.

Kafka has been the slowest out of them that I've used and definitely more complex to use.
Why does that matter? Top Fuel dragsters are designed for a quarter mile, you wouldn't use them for a 400 mile round-round.

Different things have different purposes.
I work on a large SPA: https://notion.so

It’s a document editing application. A document title might occur in the browser’s titlebar, in the header of the main editor, in a “mention” (a link to the document) - in another document title, or in the text of a document, and in multiple places in the user’s sidebar - like in both their “Favorites” section and in the the contents of their team.

When the user edits the document title, we need to update all those UI bits to render the new title. I have a hard time imagining some imperative code that iterates over all the possible views that may render a title to mutate them. Without binding/data subscription I can’t imagine Notion working at all.
I struggle to think of anyone who has done more to hurt the open Internet than Google.
Sure, but they're hard to swallow and have a metallic taste.
Most of the big data stuff is surveillance technology. The more data you collect the more you know about people.
I have a race drone. It was fun to fly it through tall grass like a weed whacker.

The first few props were super brittle and shattered at the slightest botched landing. I also think they were poorly designed with no fillets, so the stresses would concentrate at the base of the blades and the plastic would crack.

A bought another couple of bags of props, and they were MUCH higher quality. Often I can just bend a blade back after a rough crash landing.
1. Yes. I let my employer know that I would be going to graduate school and offered to continue employment part-time in the field in the area. They asked me to wait a week for them to plan. I was laid off 4 days later. Two days before layoff, they gave what I felt was an unjustified middling performance review due to two punctuation errors from a pre-existing template on a report sent to a client.

2. I would have preferred the stability and benefits the job offered, but life happens and I moved on. I was reasonably angry at the employer for about six years after. I've moved past it now. I threw myself into graduate school work and getting supplemental income for my small family.

3. No. Any employer who reads personal performance or morality into a candidate's layoff isn't worth the time or effort to engage.
Signing keys can be derived from a root key that allows for rotation and revocation. Multiple keys can sign the same content.
It literally says chatgpt in the screenshot.
>People use it as a label for Google's business model simply because it has a negative connotation

This reads like parody.

Let's say that states and police forces alone (for the sake of the argument) used to do surveillance.

For the last 2 decades, Google, Facebook, and co ALSO collect data in 1000x the times the data breadth and detail than even Stazi was capable to collect, including collecting data covertly, and abuses it for all kinds of purposes, both aggregated and targeted.

Not to mention that, beyond the surveillance they do for their private interests and business, even the "states and goverments" vs "Google and Facebook" are not even remotely separate from surveillance by states and police forces, cooperating, sharing data, or even ordered to give surveillance data, to both.
Wikipedia is not meant to be an archive of all information. It's meant to be an encyclopedia of things that are notable [1], which is probably where the confusion comes from.

As you can imagine, the topic of what notability is, has been discussed at length since Wikipedia's inception [2].

I remember searching for the Rainbow Bridge and learning that it connects the USA and Canada while being guarded by Heimdall, the Asgardian.
> However, for real desktop tools that utilize the operating system's bells and whistles, which truly make an app a desktop app—like Sublime—I'd never use an alternative in the browser.

I such cases I would also never favor an Electron app posing as native software.
interesting. long live the NYC side project hustle.

curious to hear how the NDA and other laws shift around that.
I was at a company that got bought. Shortly thereafter they started laying people off. For some reason I wasn't. I was one of the last ones there, commuting to a mostly empty office not doing much. Obviously by that point I was already deep into a job search.

They did some shenanigans to try to fabricate reasons to let me go with cause, presumably to save money. It had absolutely no impact on me afterwards in any way whatsoever. I got a new job within a month or so. It was a much better job that I stayed at for way too long.

I feel worse about the people who were laid off before me. The company took everyone on a big team building type trip to a tropical place. I refused to go. After everyone got back from the trip they started the layoffs just before the holidays. I told that CEO straight to his face he was a scumbag. That people probably would have rather had their paychecks through the holidays than some vacation with their co-workers, would they have known.

And yet, somehow the person who didn't go on the company trip, and stuck it to the CEO was one of the last ones still around.
I did not think academically rigorous proof was necessary when the issue can be plainly understood using basic knowledge of physics.
I'm guessing that GP is referring to how in Lex's interview, he seemed to ground his decisions based on how it delivers value to the user. Iirc this came up more when they talked about his time at Meta.
The link to Quora is not a problem, it's the faulty interpretation of the content of the page. In fact, Kagi's Quick Answer says this:

> You cannot melt whole eggs like you would melt ice or cheese. However, you can soften the proteins in eggs through heating.[1][2]

Reference 1 is to the Quora page, reference 2 is another Quora page.
Pencil and paper is also excellent for doing math. Get all the distractions out of the way and it’s just you and the problem you’re working on. Figure it out with a pencil and paper and then go to the computer to write the code to implement the algorithm or calculate the result from the equation you derived or whatever else you were doing. Too many kids have such negative experiences with math in school that they never want to touch a pencil and paper again after they graduate. To me, that’s a real tragedy.

I just love the smell of a freshly sharpened pencil made with good quality wood and the feel of it gliding across the paper. There’s a friction and give to it that you can’t get with a touch screen made of hard glass. No matter how good the stylus or what coating you put on the screen, it’ll never have the (cushiony, slightly rough but smooth) feel of a good writing pad or notebook.

And of course it’s fairly easy to digitize your handwritten scribbles, if that’s what you want to do. I just use a scanner app on my phone and take a picture. The app detects the borders of the page and corrects the geometry automatically. I also have it convert the colours down to 1-bit for maximum contrast and to get the background solid white. But that’s only when I need to send it somewhere, otherwise I don’t bother scanning.
Who is the 'they' you refer to? You are incorrectly assuming that there is some big consultation about every guest invited into the House. There is not. Indeed Freeland would have noticed this if she was involved with the vetting, but she's the deputy PM, she's not doing minutia like checking guest backgrounds.
Many of the simulations on this site are Java web applets, kept running thanks to CheerpJ (https://leaningtech.com/cheerpj/).
The semantically significant bit is "technology" and that is what is tripping up the "mah local model" group.

Technology develops as the result of focused application of capital and shaping the evolution of that technology to serve the interest of that capital. The driving force behind AI -- when ranked according to impact and significance -- is being funded by surveillance capitalists. In that sense one can say "AI is fundamentally a surveillance technology".

AI and Capitalism are a toxic mix, in my opinion.
I mean it's probably not helped by the fact that most regulators can't even change their phone's wallpaper without help from an intern. But also they are not even remotely scrambling to solve the problem either so, both? Both.
Not non-useful at all if you are willing to answer follow-up questions:

1. How long have you been continually employed for?

2. If more than one job, have you ever moved between jobs?

3. Have you changed jobs due to forces that were outside of your control? (i.e. you chose to move on out of practicality or necessity)

4. If your job moves were unrelated to #3 please expand on why
My response as someone affected by layoffs, but not because I was laid off.

1. No

2. N/A

3. N/A

But my workload increased drastically after this years cuts. My team has to shoulder additional responsibilities that are neither interesting or fun. I am in Switzerland and in hindsight I would've loved to be offered voluntary redundancy and take home the severance package.
Serious question - do you have experience to EB?

You mentioned SERP and I thought - doesn't matter to me, I have a custom search for Wikipedia that I use instead of google when I know there's a wikipedia for something (I've developed really good intuition for this).

But... the same isn't true for EB, but should it? Does EB ever have anything that's not on wikipedia? Like, ever?
The rub is that ISPs, at least in the US, do not charge a fair rate for data and under provision the service because it can compete with their other service offerings. Consumption is a huge problem until you subscribe to their triple play packages, all IP based, then it magically goes away.
This is the best one I've seen: https://boseansafety.com/products/air-quality-monitor-home-t...

It's by an industrial mining supply company instead of a consumer goods company, and seems to be more accurate than the cheap Amazon options I tried.
After Jan 6 it is no longer prudent to assume that people making threats are always bluffing.
Assuming it actually "exists" or is anything but a urban legend, the area is supposed to be between Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda, so area starts below Bermuda. The map doesn't show the cable location in detail, but if they pull the cable through or above Bermuda, it seems to narrowingly avoid the area.
1. I was laid off from a unicorn startup in January, along with about half the company over multiple rounds of layoffs.

2. I received multiple offers for data engineering / data management roles within 2 months.

3. No. All of tech deciding to do cuts is a great cover.
The thing that concerns me most is looking at the fix it is very difficult to see why this fix is correct. It also appears as there is lots of code without explicit bounds checks. It makes me worried because while the logic may be safe this makes the logic very complex. I wonder what the cost would be to add an explicit, local bounds check at every array access. This would serve as a backup that is much easier to verify. I suspect the cost would be relatively small. Small enough that I personally would be happy to pay it.

This is also a great reminder that fuzzing isn't a solution to memory unsafe languages and libraries. If anything the massive amount of bugs found via fuzzing should scare us as it is likely only scratching the surface of the vulnerabilities that still lie in the code, a couple too many branches away from being likely to be found by fuzzing.
Well, you could use variable names longer than a single letter?
in this example it's showing the seconds on the clock, which might be useful to some. (Just pointing out that using < 0.1% of the total CPU (depending on how you'd weight the efficiency cores) should not be a dealbreaker if you like this feature)
It's possible that Quora, like StackOverflow before it, overvalues the people coming to have a question answered, and undervalues the community of regular answerers that give it life.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

I have evaluated possible outcomes and mistrust by default is one of the biggest thorns of modern world. It seems okay because everyone's doing it, but it leaves everyone hurt including the person applying it as a rule.
> "Erudit claims to leverage AI models ... to extract and classify the sentiment of chat messages sent between employees."

> "Will teams that Erudit finds to be insufficiently “engaged” or “aligned” be punished unjustly?"

the purpose of these tools is for self censorship and self regulation. if you can't physically observe then you can make them feel observed remotely.

usually workplace issues are a by-product of how the company fundamentally makes it money (like low wages, high demands/pressure, cost-cutting). and as such there is no real desire to improve them beyond theatrics.
Unions are definitely not perfect and the institution needs to mature a lot as to keep representing the worker class long term, but I think the fact that most big companies are strongly against them should be a good enough heuristic for you to know you should join them.
Eh. In those parts of europe Soviets/Russians was the evil. First, Soviets/Russians came in 1939. Atrocities started (Katyn, Rainiai, mass deportations to Gulag, pick your favourite). Then Nazis came as a new management and stopped those atrocities just to start their own. Few years later, Soviets rolled back in to resume what they started few years ago.

And then there's another can of worms of how Poland acted to it's neighbours in 1920.
I once googled a niche question, liked the instant answer, saw it was on HN. Clicked on it. It was me. I wrote the answer to my own question, and I guess forgot 5 years later.
> The claim was never was about the logical or practical impossibility of AI to also be used otherwise.

Well, yeah, it actually was the claim. It's literally the headline and I even quoted directly from the article where they say that there is literally 100% overlap between AI and surveillance. If you want to say "that was hyperbole", congrats, you've arrived at the premise of my comment.
They’re using text-davinci-003 which is a static instruct endpoint.

The 3.5/4 ChatGPT endpoints are dynamic and continuously updated. You magically find buggy behavior fixed when using those.
There is actually an ongoing investigative committee (i.e. formed by the government) looking into the improper use of NSO's Pegasus!

Is it due to the years of reports of improper use of Pegasus by the Israeli police against Israeli citizens? No, it is due to an alleged use against the Prime Minister in his ongoing trials...
Kagi's "quick answer" option is this though:

No, you cannot melt an egg.[1][2] When an egg is heated, the proteins inside will begin to cook and solidify rather than melt like ice or butter. However, you can melt chocolate eggs by heating the chocolate slowly until it becomes liquid.[3][4]
Looking at you Schwab.
> I'm pretty sure the users in general wanted it for at least a whole bunch of the subreddits.

No, they didn't, most of the users never even spoke.

r/DIY mods never asked before going from the original 48 hrs to permanently deleting.

> Polls are usually pretty accurate.

I hope you're being facetious and realize a time limited self-selective poll where most of the population can't even vote is not accurate.

Polls are accurate when you put work into making them accurate. They're not magic.

> the action of the admins is a betrayal that hasn't been walked back in the slightest.

So what? If you feel betrayed, remove the content you own and walk away instead of locking away content you don't own off the internet and enticing people to post porn of John Oliver.

Tantrum is the perfect word to describe what these people did.
Which is why I said: “All of that stuff was not a first ever implementation, of course, but it was well executed and led the way.”

Apple is rarely the first at doing something but it's often the first that's good and cheap enough that people care about.
