Proving something always comes with assumptions and caveats. Even if we're talking about proving something cryptographically, the underlying assumption is that crypto primitives are unbroken or that participants retain control of their keys.

In this context, DKIM definitely proves a user sent an email if you're willing to accept the assumption that the email provider is not arbitrarily sending emails that users did not write. This is perhaps not as strong a proof as if there were user specific (and user controlled) signing keys, although even then you're still making assumptions about the user's ability to control their keys, the software involved, etc. In the case of DKIM, it's certainly a much stronger proof that the user did indeed send an email than if you did not have the DKIM signature.
Earlier this year we built a live depth estimation system in our research lab. It uses a small laser projector with visible light and an event camera to estimate the depth of the projected points. You get a point cloud of whatever surface or object you’re projecting on, while being free to project any content [0]. Also it’s fast enough to process 1280x720 points at 60 Hz with a laptop CPU.

Explaining this work and use cases can sometimes be a bit of a struggle. Maybe if “ambient computing” is established as a widely known buzzword, imma have to steal it to make that part of the job a little easier. Until now I was mostly going with mixed reality.

To test his theory, Dr. Jenner took material from a cowpox sore on milkmaid Sarah Nelmes’ hand and inoculated it into the arm of James Phipps, the 9-year-old son of Jenner’s gardener. Months later, Jenner exposed Phipps several times to variola virus, but Phipps never developed smallpox. More experiments followed, and, in 1801, Jenner published his treatise “On the Origin of the Vaccine Inoculation.”
...
Vaccination became widely accepted and gradually replaced the practice of variolation. At some point in the 1800s, the virus used to make the smallpox vaccine changed from cowpox to vaccinia virus.
A regression analysis without one single graph rolls eyes
A CD signal stream fed to a DAC is a 44.1 kHz 16-bit signal, period. All you did was force the drive to spin a bit faster to keep tracking, or let it fill its buffers more slowly if it spun at the same speed. The buffers, after error recovery, are what feed the DAC. Assuming an error-free read on two discs burned with the same data (regardless of "pit length", disc material, etc), you get the same bits in the buffers.

There's no "slower bitstream" for the DAC. That's provably nonsense and you can work it out from basic principals. The same bits would come out of the optical interface of a CD player, at the same rate either way. If the CD player has a built-in DAC, the same bits would get fed to that same DAC either way.

I'm sorry, but if this is truly what you believe, it really puts everything else that you said into question.

To give you the benefit of the doubt, I might say that the lenses or lasers on your CD players are filthy, and you're just hearing skips or noise from poor reads and that a slower-written, borderline-spec disk might just allow them the function better. Perhaps your player was interpolating or concealing frames [1] that it couldn't read correctly and failed to correct via ECC and you were just hearing a poorly reconstructed digital data stream.

This sort of confident incorrectness, ignoring the underlying technical architecture, is probably why people don't believe anything that an audiophile says.

I agree. Despite the "more active" category being anyone who answered that they would use a solarium even once per year, they're still only 6% of the study population if I did the math right (see Table 1 on page 10). It also seems noteworthy that the study cited for that correlation was primarily investigating the factors driving use of tanning beds, not sun exposure.

No mode of transportation is truly inherently better since they all have unique strong and weak points, but...

Cars as the main method of transportation are obviously not good. They're too inefficient, no matter how you look at them. Manufacturing, infrastructure requirements, footprint per person, energy use, impact on human health and the environment. Cars suck.

People use whatever's most convenient and that's realistically going to be whatever the government has invested in the most.

The more car dependent a society, the more degenerate it is. This is hard to understand due to how car-infested most of the world is. Watch some videos by the Not Just Bikes channel on youtube [1] to see what the world could look like instead. Here's some poignant examples (direct links): [2][3][4][5].

I was thinking of picking up the new Pixel Watch as I miss calls and notifications all the time and I thought it might reduce my phone time. But I'm also frustrated I receive too much marketing spam on apps in which I can't disable notifications. The last thing I want is those same notifications spamming my watch. Phone vendors keep releasing features that are useless to me when it seems we're all in agreement the notification spam is out of control. The vendor that gives us some way to mark notifications as spam will actually give me a reason to switch.
Fine tuning doesn't help avoid jailbreaking, it just makes it harder. So no, you're not always mucking with prompts and contexts. LLMs fail at following orders in almost exactly the same ways that humans do, much to everyone's chagrin.

The only real solution is mandating light and heavy rail. California was hit hard by the car companies that bought out the rail and got replaced it with roads.

I think people are also equating apples to oranges here. Vision is analog. There is no "DPI" or "FPS" that human vision can see. Some types of motion the human eye can perceive at thousands of "frames" and others it can only perceive at 60, some colors (green) and contrasts it can distinguish extremely fine detail in and other's (blue), it cannot. Ultimately it's variable and non-digital so it's never going to equate to some strict terms.

The audio, on the other hand, that reaches your ears comes from an analog source, even if it ends up digital in between. There aren't some resolution arguments to be made here, all that matters is that the output device can accurately reproduce the proper analog signal. Which has been proven time and time again, and that any simplification of said signal is imperceptible to anything but the most finely tuned listening devices (or maybe some special "golden ears" that the vast majority of audiophiles don't belong to).

>LLMs are have guardrails engineered into them

They don't. What do people think LLMs are lol ?

The only way to control the output of a LLM is to essentially rate certain types of responses as better

or to tell it not to do something. any other "guardrails" are outside direct influence of the LLM (i.e a separate classifier that blocks certain words).

Nobody is "engineering" anything into LLMs.
The real fuckery is the system-wide insistence that there's only two sides to every debate and that the line between the two parties defines the terms of the debate.
Ah I guess in the case of ultrasound, the thing you're trying to do is not nudge or move something, you're literally trying to "ablate" or hit it and only it. That's more like pressing a tiny button with your finger and trying not to touch the outside of the button.
Countless smartphone users like to use Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube, mobile games, and so on, all things only possible with a screen. Meanwhile nothing could prevent Google and Apple from implementing the same kind of AI controls on their phones. The only thing that remains is the laser projector and it doesn't seem like people are excited about it.

Many don't actually want a "world without displays", and goals like a better "human experience" look vastly different between different people. I'm guessing those startup founders like interacting with people and want tech to be in the background, meanwhile I'm the opposite. The smartphone in its current shape happens to be the compromise most users find good enough, and it doesn't involve a lot of voice-based commands even though they've been supported to some degree for years. Maybe this device is good, but it's not made for the mainstream user of 2023.
You're certainly welcome to disagree. I'd never claim we get all of this right; but we still have to moderate the site, decide which accounts to ban and when, which comments to mod-reply to, and so on. It's better to have some principles for this than not, and it's better to explain what they are than not. Then (at least some) people (hopefully) won't be (as) surprised if they get moderated or banned.
> It's very very difficult to show that that is actually faster by real wall clock measurements so you have to use a more stable proxy.

That’s what I’m saying though. You don’t actually need a stable proxy. You should be able to quantify the wall clock improvement but it requires a very long measurement time. For example, a 0.5% improvement amounts to a benchmark that takes 1 day completing 7 minutes earlier. The reason you use a stable proxy is that the benchmark can finish more quickly to shorten the feedback loop. But relying too much on the proxy can also be harmful because you can decrease the instruction count and slow down wall clock (or vice-versa). That’s because wall clock performance is more complex because branch prediction, data dependencies, and cache performance also really matter.

So if you want to be really diligent with your benchmarks (and you should when micro optimizing to this degree), you should validate your assumptions by confirming impact with wall clock time as that’s “the thing” your actually optimizing, not cycle counts for cycle counts sake (same with power if you’re optimizing the power performance of your code or memory usage). Never forget that once a proxy measurement can stop being a good measurement once it becomes the target rather than the thing you actually want to measure.

So many comments here about American spread which I agree on but how to fix it? Even in the Bay Area where cars are hated it’s pretty much a requirement at some point. I always had a dream that some commercial developers built tried building some communities where green space and commercial store front was baked in. Essentially building some tasteful strip malls in the center of the community and making sure a grocery store leased part of it.

Then I always realize that it’s actually probably pretty hard to manufacture this. Which grocery store do you get to move in? Do you allow liquor stores or do you just let the market decide what moves in? You have to have some influence by building it and planning it though.

That always leaves me down the road that I think it’s partially a failure at the local government level and how we do zoning. At the same time though I dont think Americans want to live Asian style in massive apartment skyscrapers or in close quarter multistory buildings with store fronts on the first level. It’s as much of a cultural problem as it is zoning.

You actually can implement LLM guardrails by "just asking" it to not do X in the prompt. That's how many LLM guardrails are implemented. It may not be the most effective strategy for implementing those guardrails, but it is one strategy of many which are used. What makes you think otherwise?

This reads to me as along the lines of, "I speak aloud to an AI and it replies, rather than taking something out of my pocket", but 'ambient', 'artifical intelligence', and 'doesn't rely on screens' are carrying the weight there. The rest seem like features of such a system.

In the same way that vaporizing vicious dictators--subtracting how many people they personally killed by their own hands--would have no detectable difference to global murder rate.

This specific idea of limiting CO2 is being taken a bit too out of context of the broader point. Sanctions against Russia hasn't stopped the murder, any more than limiting individual CO2 consumption would stop climate change. Yet both are correct actions because they are steps in the direction of fixing larger issues.

> If your comment wants the readers to draw a connection between the quality of "AI products" that are involved on a particular webpage, it is reasonable to assume they would be made by the same company.

My comment doesn't want to “the reader” to do anything. My comment is just noticing that the random French user seeing an IA product with such a broken automatic translation is likely to be tempted to judge it poorly. Also there's not a single instance of OpenAI (whose brand is itself much less-known than ChatGPT) on that page, so unless the guy landing on the page was already familiar with Dall-e, they're going to assume the AI product is from Microsoft, which is also the author of the borked AI translation…

> You haven't demonstrated any common ML translator doing such a poor job translating the specific phrase on the page

Well, the translation is here on the page… Do You want a screenshot or something? Also I can't try to feed the original text to bing translation given that I don't have access to the original text at all because of MS's broken i18n…

> The mistranslation honestly feels like human error that didn't involve "AI"

At this level it cannot really be explained by an human error unless the human making the error is “the product owner asking someone who doesn't know French at all to translate the damn text”.

Automatic translation of marketing slogans with jargon in it isn't something you can really trust a automated system to do reliably by the way. It's by design as short and catchy as possible, leaving very little context for the transformers to work with and often having an unnatural structure. Current translators also suck at translating music lyrics by the way.

There was no serious threat to democracy during January 6, nor was anyone seriously planning a coup (as opposed to Trump perhaps delusionally thinking he had won).

> Sounds like it needs a special program and configuration, which is not needed on Apple devices

How else would it work across different devices? Apple devices can not connect to e.g. Android devices without a 'special program and configuration' nor can they do so with Linux or Windows or whatever other devices.

> Also, KDE Connect needs both devices to be in the same network - which is not needed for Apple devices

KDE Connect and other similar tools work fine over a VPN which is the preferred solution for such setups. You can choose which VPN you want to use, OpenVPN and Wireguard are two popular choices. Here again that VPN can be used to connect disparate devices - Linux, Windows, Android, Apple-things, whatever. Apple devices only talk to other Apple devices which is far more restrictive.
