No, it typically generates a recovery key which you can keep offline (or discard and live dangerously).
> Unicode is a standard that aims to unify all human languages, both past and present, and make them work with computers.

This is doubly wrong.

First, it conflates languages and writing systems. Malay and English use the same writing system but are different languages. American Sign Language is a language, but it has no standard or widely-adopted writing system. Hakka is a language, but Hakka speakers normally write in Modern Standard Mandarin, a different language.

Second, it's not that case that Unicode aims to encode all writing systems. For example, there are many hobbyist neographies (constructed writing systems) which will not be included in Unicode.
CNN is addressing its American audience to a practice that is not familiar in the USA. Yes, CNN is USA-centric, because...it is an American news company with a primary user base in America.

That other countries mortgage unbuilt homes is more a "what about" rather than "facts needed for reader to understand."
If you are testing a system, you can't simultaneously tune the system - or at least, if you're establishing a new testing approach you can't once do. Maybe the testing approach is established, someone could experiment with ways to improve the system on the benchmark. But if you're establishing a benchmark, improving at the same time is going to make such a benchmark kind of meaningless.

I'm a recent Google Summer of Code intern and software-building enthusiast. I love picking up new technologies and tinkering with anything I can get my hands on. I've always enjoyed the process of problem-solving, so I'm open to any opportunities!
I suppose then that Theranos was never really viable based on the technology back then, as this seems to use "next-generation sequencing" tech.
Absolutely. I spent an entire summer writing translation layers for a bunch of different microscopes so that they could interface with the detector software of the company I was interning for. It was tedious work!
There was an early kickstarter for a watch that did something similar and I backed it, thinking it was brilliant.

One of the first times I wore it was to a meeting, someone asked about it and when I explained how it worked he refused to continue the meeting until the watch was in the other room, turned off.
There's a way to just send a bug report if you have the developer options... In settings and about phone or whatever tap on the build number a whole bunch of times. Or right above the build number might be send feedback about this device. There are a lot of ways you could do exactly what you're talking about.
I had one of those, though I used it as a way to automatically get a smattering of photos while doing tourist stuff or going to concerts, rather than lifelogging. It was also pretty great for no-effort time lapses. I'm still disappointed there isn't any decent successor that can meet the same basic functionality, especially battery life.
I think you are missing the GP’s point. Or here, the American organization we’re discussing might be compararable to your fringe deniers of evolution. My background is in an adjacent field of the humanities to anthropology, but I am in Europe. Our professional orgs and conferences over here generally show none of that obsessive focus on trans issues, taboos, and claims that some presentation would be “harm” or “violence” to “vulnerable people”. That is viewed as a distinctly North American circus, which has made a few inroads elsewhere, especially in the Anglosphere, but has thankfully spared most of the rest of the scholarly world so far.
In the open source world, a DAW could really just include everything. You'd still need plugins occasionally, but I don't see why there couldn't be a curated collection that covers all the basics.
Do you sue everyone that has a phone? Where's the line? Is it the form factor?
noshdelivery.co provides technology to local restaurants to operate their own delivery services (ordering app/driver management/etc). The restaurants that we partner with form a cooperative and get the software while we get a non-voting stake. I think it is quiet cool. The truth is that delivery companies are a scourge on the restaurants and restaurants will go to great length to avoid working with Grubhub, Doordash, etc. We are planning on expanding into a few more cities.

If you are interested in cooperatives the most prominent public thinker on the topic these days is Nathan Schneider, who is a professor at CU Boulder and one of our advisors. For example look up an interview with him on "Frontiers of Commoning" podcast - "Nathan Schneider on Cooperatives and Digital Governance". It is an excellent listen.

> She needed grants to pursue ideas that seemed wild and fanciful.

You cannot even realize how many people in academia are running for wild and fanciful ideas. Don't blame the scientists, they are probably the most open-minded to the new ideas. But filtering out bad ideas is a part of their job, and they grew thick-skinned from constant bombardment of fancy ideas, we cannot pursue them all.

So I'd say this story is pretty traditional in the history of revolutionary ideas (e.g. a similar story of John Snow vs. cholera -- how many years and lives it took).
Definitely agree with that! I use a US kbd (incl on phone) no matter what language I’m writing in. A little annoying but switching kbd layouts is more disruptive for me.
It seems like a situation that would benefit from separating the logical/structural definitions from the layout/presentation rules, much like HTML and CSS. The structural side would be clean and easy to maintain and all the fiddly presentation stuff would have space to be specific. Constraint-based layout rules a la flexbox would seem useful. Has anyone tried that approach?

Edit: You're probably still going to have to render it as part of the review for non-trivial changes but when the visual result matters I don't see any way to avoid that.
If they take a picture of me and I know it, yes. You can't see my house on Google Maps.

I live in a civilized country with some privacy laws, which will likely just pump out more laws once silly products like this start popping in the market.
I didn't have internet at my house for a week and had to use my phone hotspot: the amount of heat my phone generated greatly increased while the battery life greatly decreased.

If you're not noticing a drain on your battery from keeping your hotspot on its because no one is connected to it / using it.
perhaps it depends on the audience as well correct? for example, a dev tool has sa technical audience who would primarily not be influenced by say PPC in contrast to form posts
There are ways around that too... store bytes in a string or a REM and then execute it directly. No DATA or FOR needed.

There were some workarounds posted on of Robin's recent video.
Can’t AI simply carry on a complete phone conversation in your voice, trained on all your emails and transcribed zoom calls?

Oh, we are trusting the corps won’t train in that and won’t fine tune on our personal data. Ok!

Things can get really wild when AIs can open lots of fake accounts all over the place.

Most banks ask me verification stuff that has probably been stolen many times by now.

Slightly different case in nature but analyzing all the passport photos for duplicates is a no brainer move and led to at least one arrest and extradition in Canada. They allegedly paid drug addicts to file false applications in their names with different photos.
My anecdotal experience is that whenever I'm in the office, 90% of the people there do nothing but chit-chat with each other, half the time with screens turned off. And no, it's not one of those mystical magical watercooler chats that solve every single problem in the company, it's just idle chitchat about their weekend or whatever.

My direct peer whom I work with closely every day takes hours to respond when in the office, while at home it takes him a few minutes at most. PRs take 10x as long to get done when he's at the office (even on the rare occasion I'm in the office, it actually takes longer cause all he wants to do is just chat), the PRs themselves are of a lower quality and less useful etc...

> Also, inevitably remote/async work flips the priority such that employee would be much more responsive to interrupts/errands of their own life than to focus their full attention on the employer's concerns.

I mean, good? I prioritize a lot of things, arguably MOST things over work. If I had the option to do nothing yet still earn money you bet I'd do it, but since we don't live in a post-scarcity Utopia I will in the meantime give minimal effort and not let my job dictate how I live my life.
> The backend never needs to do things like figure out how long a string

Not as measured by clusters, no.

> search for one string in a database of other strings?

Hence I said "normalisation". The frontend already has to do all the unicode twiddling, it may as well normalise the input too.

"any idea, to be truly groundbreaking, can not be easily distinguished from noise / crackpot theories"

This is an interesting insight. Yeah, I think you are onto something here.

Groundbreaking ideas, as opposed to new technologies, tend not to have obvious real world applications/results for years. As such, they aren't easily distinguishable from random crackpottery.

We tend to validate ideas by their later applications, or, at the very least, a heap of corroborating evidence. Both takes a lot of time to aggregate.

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding of libel is that at least in the US you need an element of intent to be guilty of libel. Simply being wrong about something isn't libel unless you can prove they know it was wrong or should have known it was wrong. Unless you can show Google knows your site isn't malicious and is labeling it that way anyways, it seems more likely it would be an open and shut case in their favor. I'm also fairly confident Google's lawyers have put a fair amount of thought into this and are already prepared to demonstrate how their labeling is done in good faith, etc.

I didn't do any downvoting, but I suspect it could be a reaction to the fact that treating this as libel would make operating any security company or service effectively impossible by requiring zero false positives. That seems like an obviously unworkable standard even if getting incorrectly flagged as malicious admittedly does suck.
The truth is there's massive ageism throughout this industry. It's everywhere --not just SV/SF/west coast, but it's much worse in that region relative to others.

I feel it would be best to give you the truth directly.

I usually see this remark associated with the idea of a struggling person stealing essentials, which I would probably not report either. At least in Australia, supermarkets are making record profits and increasing prices in the middle of a housing crisis so the general feeling is they can afford the loss, rightly or wrongly.

As far as the article goes, I’m opposed to using these data sources for anything other than their original purpose, as it’s the same logic that would be used to test for example medically collected DNA against crime databases just in case.
It's tribalism and it's not going to be 100% present in every individual, but it's still pretty prevalent in humans. It's a neutral concept and I hope has more upside than downside, depends on the situation I guess.

> Unicode the complete, total and utter clusterfuck that it is.

Yikes, does it really deserve that much derision? They’re trying to standardize all written human language here. I think they’ve done a fantastic job. Pre-Unicode you had to worry about what code page a document had, and computers from different countries couldn’t interoperate. The work the consortium does is hugely important, and every decision has extremely complex tradeoffs. Composed characters makes a lot of sense, and there’s a lot of case to be made that it was the right call. The attitude of “this one thing I don’t like makes the whole thing a complete clusterfuck” is something I wish fewer engineers would have.

I have 5 years of software engineering experience, mostly back-end. Lately, I have been working on a tool that uses LLMs to query NY State Court dockets, contributing to legal tech open source, and learning Haskell.
So, iphone/Mac only?
I love all this new exploratory hardware coming out. At $59 this seems like an easy way to try out the concept without committing, and the form factor doesn't seem fiddly.

I wonder if there's ways to get the benefits of this while avoiding privacy issues. The best way I can think of preserve others privacy in an unobtrusive way would be to detect & remove other people's voices from any recordings (private by default). The only way to override this would be if others say "its ok to record" or equivalent phrase.

That way you get meeting notes (where people consent) but not conversations in confidence (where people don't). For the in-between cases that users wanted to remember, they could repeat back what others say (e.g. other: 'that is $59' user: 'ok $59').

If this were accurate enough it seems like it'd address most of the privacy concerns, and is a pattern that can be used by all types of recording devices we'll be seeing in the coming years (and may be a good basis for legal regulation of this class of device).

Zooming out, we're early in the cycle of this kind of tech, where forgetting is seen as a problem. There's a chance we over-shoot and remember too much, which is going to introduce its own problems because tech doesn't have a sense for what things are important psychologically for us to move on from and not have access to. Much like in other domains where tech gives us too much of what we want, I worry the response will be a dismissive "just don't look at it" personal responsibility argument. But that's further down the road from where we are.
> A finger prick to take a blood sample to confirm humanity?

Funny enough - I actually wrote a [cathartic] short essay on that very concept a few months ago when I was being buried alive by captchas. I called it 'Blood for Access: An Alternative Approach to Circumvent Captchas'.

Here is an excerpt from the final paragraph:

In conclusion, the current state of captchas deployed across the internet can be frustrating and exclusionary for many users. My proposal for a blood-based authentication approach aims to highlight the absurdity of captchas and advocate for a more user-friendly and inclusive internet experience. While there may be challenges in implementing this approach, the potential benefits in terms of improved user experience and inclusivity make it worthy of consideration. It's time to explore alternative methods that prioritize user accessibility and convenience while maintaining security, and blood-based authentication could be a step towards a more inclusive internet for all users.
Yeah, the LLM outputs a distribution of likely next tokens. It is up to the decoder to select one, and it can use a grammar to enforce certain rules on the output. https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/Constrained-Text-Genera... or https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/grammars/... for example.

It does if it ever wants to trim, summarize, sort or compare equal a string.
I don't think there's truly any technical solution to "two users edited the same piece of text" tbh. You can try to be smart about it in various ways, but at the end of the day you're still going to hit situations where it's really not clear what the users' intent would be to handle two mutually-unaware edits on the same words
Humans are even more irrational! For CRISPR most people expecfted the prize to go to 3 people- Doudna, Charpentier, and Zhang. But Zhang was ommitted and many people think it was because the head of his institution wrote this: https://www.cell.com/fulltext/S0092-8674%2815%2901705-5 (the establishment hates Eric Lander, and this was a particularly egregious example of his behavior).

But the original discoverer of CRISPR, Francis Mojica, was not awarded the prize. That's because, in my opinion (as well as the Nobel Committee), Doudna and Charpentier played the greatest individual roles in the process of turning the original discovery of CRISPR into a powerful tool (CRISPR/cas9), that is much more general than CRISPR the process that occurs in bacteria. I still think Mojica should have been given the prize, and if 4 recipients were possible, also Zhang.
