At least for news, something like [PBS NewsHour](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/) is available free for cord cutters. Sports, you're mostly looking at illicit streams from dodgy sites.
It's crazy how little society values kids despite the constant drumbeat of "won't somebody pleaaasee think of the children" when it comes to safety or censorship.
You'll have to check back when it gets to alpha then, since it doesn't claim to be there yet.
rg111 below does a good job explaining how to go from scratch

For me, my work in software and AI specifically predates 2012 - blood sweat and tears of going from non-big data statistical forecasting programs (Bayes nets) to big data forecasting (R, Python stat packages) to geometric vision (SURF, HOG etc) to big data CNN & MDP image processing for CNNs (tensorflow) etc…

Like I said, blood sweat and tears
I have a lamp right next to my bed that I also turn on as part of my going to bed routine, so that I turn off the room light, get in bed, and still have light.

This is a lot cheaper than a home automation system.

The problem with the filesystem is that it privileges organization scheme which isn’t the best one for every editing task. This makes, for example, implementation inheritance hard because your class has a bunch of invisible code in it. But, it you could expand all the superclass methods into a single view and then have edits automatically integrated into the appropriate places, this wouldn’t be as much of a problem.

Java’s filesystem hierarchy is a great example of a “fileout” format for the sort of environment I’m talking about. Another example here is smalltalk repositories generated by Iceberg: https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg
You surely have to compare the rates per horse not per unit population.

The time has probably come for better global tax rules for multinational companies. It's tricky because you need multiple governments to agree but even so.
> The same type of thing is in play in military schools. There will be few-to-no kids of poor single moms. All the kids will be well fed and groomed and socialized.

I grew up near a military base, and that describes very very few people.

> no kids of poor single moms

I'd suggest taking a look at what the military pays before you make the claim no poor. As for single moms it turns out that divorce is a big problem and if your dad is stationed overseas for months at a time it's a lot like being a single parent, except with the constant wondering if you are going to get a letter saying your spouse has died.

> All the kids will be well fed

I'll give you that can be the case, if the MLM and the 30% interest on the new Dodge Charger didn't take all the money.

> groomed and socialized

It turns out that sending parents out of a child's life for long periods of time can cause lots of behavior issues, beyond often times people that make their way to the military come with a lot of baggage usually and although the military can be good at reforming people's lives into productive members of society it doesn't always translate to being a great parent.

It sounds like the kind of thing postulated by someone who didn't spend a lot of time around the military culture.
Might be worth looking into neck/shoulder structure (with a PT that's CFMT certified) just to rule out it being an issue with a compressed/tension nerve due to how your neck/shoulder physiology developed.

I saw two different physiatrists, a neurologist, two ENTs, an audiologist, and my GP about the sudden onset tinnitus and they all just shrugged it off. I had a hunch something was going on with my neck because I could modulate the tinnitus a bit with the position of my neck and jaw--I shared this with all of them and they said I was being neurotic. It wasn't until I saw a good PT (she was the third different one I saw) that I was able to get this addressed.
Pruning is particularly annoying when it hits books that are not available anywhere near that library. If it was something that's everywhere I wouldn't mind. But if I use the public libraries for more than just random entertainment, I need them to be somewhat reliable. And around here pruning seems to be entirely based on how often books are checked out at that library. That's a poor criteria.

It's fair that no library has space for as many books as they would like. But they could at least coordinate with the other regional libraries so that things remain available. And for that matter, my local library has so much space they should do any pruning at all for now.
I think the weird thing about this is that it's completely true right now but in X months it may be totally outdated advice.

For example, efforts like OpenMOE https://github.com/XueFuzhao/OpenMoE or similar will probably eventually lead to very competitive performance and cost-effectiveness for open source models. At least in terms of competing with GPT-3.5 for many applications.

I also believe that within say 1-3 years there will be a different type of training approach that does not require such large datasets or manual human feedback.

Probably all three:

1) They hiring too talent to make their models as efficient as possible.

2) They have a sweetheart deal with MS.

3) They’re better funded than everyone else and bringing in substantial revenue.
There was interview with him on TV. Apparently he wanted to open Mellanox branch in Gaza. They asked him if he still wants to. After small pause he replied that he still thinks that this is good idea, but in a more distant future
Yes, all the people who couldn't imagine the censorship being used against "their team," here it is. It always happens. Censorship is the tool of authoritarians. Fight it in every form.
> dumb debug consoles have accidentally exposed env vars

Huh? If the app can read the secret, then the app can... read the secret. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you call a "debug console", but if this is anything running in the app, it can ... read the secrets. Regardless of their source.

Or, to put it differently: it matters nothing if your secrets at rest are stored in a quantum-resistent-encrypted vault, secrets.yml or ENV vars, if your logging, backtracing or debug consoles dump them somewhere, you are compromised regardless.
But contact law also strikes down contact provisions all the time.

Generally speaking, contracts between two parties who know what they're doing, with lawyers, are pretty iron-clad.

But TOS with consumers are not. Unreasonable/abusive TOS clauses are struck down quite frequently. Things like consumer protection laws supersede anything in a TOS.

And consumer protection laws are precisely the kind of thing meant to stop companies from playing bait-and-switch with consumers like this.
Yep, batching is a feature I really wish the OpenAI API had. That and the ability to intelligently cache frequently used prompts. Much easier to achieve this with a hosted OS model, so I guess it's a speed + customizability/cost tradeoff for the time being.

This adds an uncertain future to OTA, but I don't think you can say it's implemented widely yet.

Here's a list of current ATSC 3.0 channels, with an indicator for the encrypted ones: https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=atsc3

For now, most network affiliates that air an ATSC 3.0 signal must simulcast the primary video programming stream in ATSC 1.0 format. So most primary channels are still available without DRM. [1]

Sequoia needs to be investigated and those who were involved in perpetuating this fraud need to be imprisoned. They are as culpable in this as anybody else.
> Seeing noobies and experienced programmers struggle with it for years, my conclusion is that this is a bad idea. Most problematically it creates "programmers" who have no idea how their project is actually organized

The layout of files on a filesystem is not how a project is organized. The organization of a typical project is a graph that’s lossily represented by filesystem trees.
I read the RP1 documentation so you don't have to
Shareholders who got in before that last round, that is. Employees who joined in the last few years will likely have underwater options unless Loom internally repriced already-granted options.
>Basically, everyone agreed that actually doing the review on gitlab was a lot worse compared to email. There's just so much more flexibility.

Could you elaborate? This is truly shocking to me. Admittedly I have never worked on a project with an email-based workflow, but I can't think of how email would allow comments inline with the patch, which is an incredibly beneficial feature to me.
Most very unfortunately, I have to reluctantly agree, but for reasons that are completely hidden: My CS program design teacher, would do three things: He would write the subjects he would cover on the board, and then cover them, and secondly he would check them off. When ever a question would come up from a past lecture, he would ask if someone else had the notes to answer the question, well. Guess who kept the best notes? I also ran the study hall after class. Aced all classes. I finally got up the nerve to ask him directly: "Where did you learn those three things?" "Oh! The Military." Turns out that those three exact things are used to 1) Write English essays, 2) Critique plays, 3) and organize client therapeutic meetings. etc. etc. etc. 4) organize code walk throughs and 5) multi team debugging sessions.

Yes, Jeff Withe. Diablo Valley College.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-tab-a...

I built this for personal use, but maybe someone else also finds it useful.

It's a Firefox add-on that arranges YouTube video tabs based on the runtime of the video. I often hoard many YouTube tabs and at some point I want to either watch the shortest ones or play something lengthy so I can do household chores while listening to the video. This makes finding the correct video from tens of different tabs so much easier. There is one known major bug: if a video is playing, the sorting doesn't work.

There is an older version published for Microsoft Edge, but Edge Add-ons started rejecting the updates based on unclear reasons (something along the lines of "no value for user" ???). When reaching for support through email, I only get responses from people who don't understand English and just copy-paste the exact same unclear rejection report and close the ticket.

Chrome Web Store has a publishing fee and outright rejects me paying it, probably because I live in Switzerland and my credit card is from a Finnish bank.
I’m confused don’t a100s cost 10,000 to buy? Why would you pay 166k per year to rent?
However, crossing the autobahn on foot is actually forbidden (§ 18, Absatz 9, StVO), so there is a "jaywalking" law in Germany that probably helps reducing pedestrian deaths on the highway.
Hm, I'm not immediately seeing this glancing at the book's Amazon reviews:

https://www.amazon.com/Going-Infinite-Rise-Fall-Tycoon/dp/B0...
I don't see a runaway AI itself causing the conflict but I could see AI easily fanning the flames. Think both AI tools such as completely fake viral footage of war atrocities and other propaganda to win over public opinion and AI consequences such as massive unemployment causing internal problems and stoking the conditions for either internal or external war.

Alternatively and even more twisted, I could see someone scapegoating a runaway AI to start the conflict - "it wasn't us that attacked first, it was the AI malfunctioning, we're the good guys but they won't listen to us so we have to fight them now"
She risked everything to expose Facebook. Now she's telling her story
Sophie Zhang, a former data scientist at Facebook, revealed that it enables global political manipulation and has done little to stop it.
I've noticed that people who don't drive usually don't have frame of reference of what cars are capable of, and usually don't understand all of the simultaneous requirements that must be fulfilled by drivers. So you get pedestrians who don't understand what the stopping distance of a car is, or pedestrians who don't recognize dangerous situations that they create.

In other words, people with driving experience are usually safer, more considerate as pedestrians.
Up until recently I was editor at an AI company, and parts of this read exactly like some of the outputs I'd get out of GPT-4/ChatGPT Plus.

Many of the linked references are too recent to be in the training corpus (Llama 2, for example), so unless there's some web-search component to this it looks like an LLM wrote the first draft, and a human went through to edit, add links, and populate with images, etc.
Canada using AI to catch immigration fraud
Yeah, this is the problem my proposal solves.
Germany does have jaywalking laws though. I'm not sure about Holland which has very low pedestrian deaths.
Actually the nice thing about all the recent advancements in machine learning and generative AI is that you can set it up to record everything you say in the house, and train itself to learn your speech patterns and voice. Then it can behave realistically when spirit mediums attempt to contact it. No more of this canned prerecorded nonsense that falls apart after a week of investigation.
Well I'm old enough to have lived during Ceaușescu's times for a while and I remember very little plastic from back then.

Plastic bottles were basically unheard of. Glass or metal containers it was and they were also recycled. Bags were mostly cloth. Again, no plastic. So it's definitely possible to live in a much-less plastic polluted world.

Unfortunately we live in the society of "It's pretty amazing that our society has reached a point where the effort necessary to extract oil from the ground, ship it to a refinery, turn it into plastic, shape it appropriately, truck it to a store, but it, and bring it home is considered to be less effort that what it takes to just wash the spoon when you're done with it..."
Clicking through a few Wikipedia articles, we get [1]:

> Tanaka Seisakusho (田中製作所, Tanaka Engineering Works) was the first company established by Tanaka Hisashige, one of the most original and productive inventor-engineers during the Tokugawa / Edo period. Established in July 1875, it was the first Japanese company to manufacture telegraph equipment. It also manufactured switches, and miscellaneous electrical and communications equipment.

>It’s almost like there are improvements in PL design.

Eh, not really, at least not in the last 10+ years. I'm sure some obscure hotness does something neat, but mostly inconsequential for the vast, vast majority of shops.

>someone will be a senior in any other language as well.

While I agree with you, that often isn't the opinion of people hiring. If someone is looking for 2 years of java, in most places, 10 years of C# isn't what they are willing to hire.
Yes, and I write a lot of lisp
Those motion sensor light bulbs are perfect. My basement lights are all chain-pull so I got them in, and now everything is illuminated by the time I reach the bottom of the stairs.

I also like the IKEA tradfri stuff, since you can just pair the remote directly. No apps or internet needed.
There's also a kind of giving up that's happened. You can't take kids seriously, no matter how bad they behave or how little they do they don't face any consequences. There's no getting kicked out or left back, some classes are just a social club and the teacher has no choice to stand by. I just had a relative leave after sticking it out in some really challenging schools for ten years.

People would really like it to be underfunding. Teachers are somewhat underpaid, but where I live they get a pretty good salary. The real issue is that teachers have no autonomy to teach, they spend their time filling out forms and checking boxes and they can be told what's what by administrators. They also have no tools for classroom control, even in situations where students are doing things that would be crimes if done by adults. It's impossible to perform well in those circumstances, and most self-respecting people wouldn't work under those conditions. And this is reflected in abysmal teacher retention.

Where I live, schools spend $38,000 per year per student. It's not underfunding that's the issue, it's some really bad ideas and a kind of willfully ignorant utopianism.
It's chaotic, but not terrifying or likely that dangerous given the speed / injury/deaths are very unlikely at such low speeds[1]. Vehicles are moving at near-walking speeds, and even with the added weight of carriages/cars, there's a lot of reaction time.

I was this way, coming from 1970s computing origins and DEC VT terminals[1], but the Solaris console and OpenWindows[2], and NeXTSTEP[3] and macOS eventually beat me into tolerating "light mode" terminal windows.

Still do dark mode terminals after sunset, though. And Dracula is among my favorite themes.

My district spends $29k per student. More than almost any other in the world. Yet some of its schools are so bad that a quarter of high schoolers opted out. It's not about funding. It's an overwhelmingly blue area, politicians are not purposefully sabotaging the schools. The government is just utterly incompetent, and worse, corrupt. And unfortunately many of the students are from households that don't emphasize the importance of education.
It's called blue noise dithering because it's not ordered. Error diffusion dithering approximates blue noise dithering (poorly, I might add). What error diffusion has going for it is very low overhead, and built-in edge-enhancement if you pick your kernels right.
When I was still playing tabletops a lot, we had the luck of having an extremely creative game leader who was a graffiti artist. So our maps were drawn during the game, which was super awesome!

So do you just play online with strangers? Or do you also play in person?
