It's still not right though. People will say at 9pm "I did it yesterday" about something they'd done the previous date at 6pm
Maybe. Usually, relatively recent deltas are great which is mentioned in the article. They are less ambiguous enough to be helpful. But longer the deltas are from NOW, the higher is the cognitive overhead in my experience. And interfaces should reduce the overhead to make life easier for people.
> The thousands of years old saying: "The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the state" has never been truer

Can you tell me what is the correct number of laws? What's your threshold? And what happens when a new thing appears / enters the mainstream, do you have to remove an old law first before creating a new one?

As a concrete example, LLMs and how they relate to copyright and image rights. Should we have to remove e.g. the rail packages to be able to legislate on them? Or screw it, anarchy?

> But the EP is tiny compared to the EC and the EC is pulling the strings: the EP is supposed to bring some kind of democracy but there's none.

You know that the European Parliament has to vote on EC proposals, right? And if they refuse them, they don't pass.
Those messages are very annoying. Play Protect periodically tries to get you to turn it back on, once every few weeks or so. I really wish there was a way to turn that annoying nag off.

Glad I have it off though: KDEConnect is great, I use it all the time to transfer files and send text messages from my computer.
Nah.

Once they enter territorial waters, and not engaged in 'innocent passage' they are legitimately a target for us to defend ourselves against.

However in 1939, that would have been around 3-4 miles off the shore, so your point largely stands.
Is that even legal ?

Banking and public services are too important to be restricted to people with smartphone ownership (even regardless of OS).

It's even more important to refuse to use them, publicly shame them, and complain about them failing at their duties.

The only people who can force you to pay those automated tickets are the courts and they 100% have to prove who was driving the vehicle. Or, you can voluntarily pay, I suppose...

One of my old neighbors got a letter (complete with a picture of the "perp") kindly asking him who was driving his car and I told him to just ignore it unless they drag him into court since they obviously knew he wasn't driving. There's also the "spousal privilege" thing, his wife was driving, so they theoretically couldn't even force him to say who the offender was.
Anecdotally, to me it seems like my metabolism hasn't changed. I was overweight when I was younger because I overate. Now I don't, and my weight is normal, on the low end for my height. But nothing about the quantities turning into pounds changed, from my p.o.v. (mid 40s now).

Actually the main thing that changed for me is I started compressing all my eating into 1-2 meals per day. That way I could track it. Before I couldn't tell you if "I haven't changed my diet" because it was a continuum of eating from morning till night. I have no idea what changed over time, couldn't even tell you for one week. Once I "bounded" it I was able to bring my weight down quickly.

Btw, sorry if this sounds snarky, it seemed like flagging this as anecdotal was the right way to start so I copied it.
At the "last week" level, assuming we don't keep track of today's date, wouldn't it be good enough to see in the date if it's in the same month or not, and eventually see if it'rougly at the beginning, muddle or end of it ?

If you were told something was uploaded on 2023-10-02, with just the average feeling that we're currently around the middle of the month we'd know the video is roughly a week or two in the past.
Even better if you burn 200 more per day without feeling more hungry than someone who burns less than you
This isn't just a "problem" with computers and fuzzy "<time ago>" labels. Humans do this, too. The worst is when people use inappropriately long periods, for example when a reporter says something like "Joe Criminal was convicted last month of XYZ", when "last month" means some time in the previous few days that happened to fall in the previous month (this kind of thing happens a lot). It takes more effort to come up with that bullshit than to simply be more precise.
"Haha, sure, it’s real invigilation terror over here in Europe. "

More like slow addition of smothering layers of bureaucracy upon bureaucracy until your breathing space is severely limited. Combined with our ghastly demographics, I think our growth is a thing of the past.

In many individual EU countries including mine, something like Chat Control 2.0 would not fly and the attention of the public would be very negative; especially east of the Iron Curtain, memories of authoritarian regimes are too strong for people to trust their politicians with this kind of power.

Brussels is distant enough that EU politicians can pull off such legislation without the general public being aware of it.

The distance between the EC and a random European is way too big. Even bigger than the distance between the Feds and a random American in USA.
Yeah I agree muscle is a big factor, given you use it too
> The most important one should be: Every citizen is free to express his opinion.

And if their opinion is that, all Jews are subhuman and have to be exterminated? (real life example)

Most EU countries have "hate speech" laws explicitly banning hate speech such as Nazis and Anti-Semites. Nobody sheds any tears over their opinions being restricted, and nobody should. Debating with pidgeons doesn't work.

It seems like over the past 10 years there has been a global retreat from freedom and democracy.

China is returning to at least a superficially softer version of Maoism. Russia has returned to Stalinism. The Middle East never had much of a liberal tradition but it’s certainly not gained any ground. The US is flirting with populist strong man rule with Trump and RFK. South America seems to keep oscillating between authoritarian socialism and their own forms of right wing strong man rule. Not sure about Africa but from afar it still seems dominated by strong men or illiberal theocratic states.

The UK and EU felt like an exception but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Both are trending toward undemocratic bureaucracies in service to either the bureaucracy itself or the powerful.

Surveillance is everywhere and is barely challenged. After all we get cute videos on social media and apparently cute videos are more important than freedom or human rights.

One problem might be that we teach everyone about the dangers of fanatical explosive totalitarian movements like Hitlerism and Stalinism but not enough about “softer” creeping authoritarianism that is less easy to identify or oppose. Both are a risk but the strong man cult type is easier to mobilize people against.
> AMD also openly said that they are patching game engine code, which is just bizarre. Not sure what the thought process was

Hasn’t it been true for ages that GPU drivers contain fixes for a lot of GPU instructions from popular games that would otherwise be broken.

In that case, if they are used to fixing games already, it might not seem a big step from their side when they decided to also patch game code that runs on the CPU. It was unfortunate that they did not realise this would lead to triggering anti-cheat systems in games though.

But there is history of others altering program code too. For example Microsoft Windows included code specific to various pieces of software that would otherwise be broken. I wonder if that ever lead to trigger anti-cheat systems in any games.

Its just me that thinks there is something really wrong with the way politicians try to pass such controversial laws?

Politicians bring up something controversial. Most of the time influenced by some lobby with very little interest in public benefit.

To combat this lots of people need to do activism. Those people need to devote your time and energy to prevent such thing.

So far it sounds good but after the dust settles the same politicians and lobbysts bring the thing again this time with another name or sneakily group it into some other law. Perhaps something bad happened and that momentarily gained public support, of course with lots of emotions involved and very little context given to the common folk.

The politicians and lobbyists are literally being paid for this. You are not. They can pretty much push the same bullshit forever until it stays while you are devoting your life to prevent it.

You may as well ask if John Carmack is so productive because he's really motivated, why can't someone "just" make a productivity program that replicates this motivation, and then we can all be that productive. How is 'motivation' more potent than 8hrs/day which a lot of people do and still aren't as productive.

> If you can crack differentiating between "command" tokens and other input tokens, you've cracked prompt injection!

Isn't this simple? Have two different tokenizer with non-overlapping output ranges, one for “trusted commands” and one for “user input”, do training with various mixes of commands and input with the appropriate reactions to each, and then have the trusted command fixed (or selectable from a small set of preselected options/payterns based on interaction style [chat might used trusted tokens to indicate which participant each piece of the exchange is from, as well as for the internal system prompt, for instance]) for external users and allow them to freely specify only input that gets sent to the “untrusted input” tokenizer. Even if you allow pretokenized input, you can sanitize it to accept only tokens from the untrusted space.

Trees do not affect CO2 levels, over long time. The basic reason is explained by why it is also called "carbon cycle". Plants grow, temporarily storing carbon, then die, releasing the carbon back to atmosphere either by burning or by decaying or by being consumed and literally breathed out as CO2 back.

Rather than planting a tree, you can actually help the atmosphere more by cutting a tree and building a house out of it and not letting it rot for a really long time. By cutting the tree and building the house, you are sequestering the carbon for probably longer than the tree would live (depending on what would be its future) and also making space for new trees to grow.

If you are looking to actually affect the long term outcome, you need to do one of two things:

1) stop emitting CO2

2) sequester the atmospheric CO2 somewher, for a really long time.

Yep, too busy boosting my lines of code for an unskilled BS manager. I don't even have time for my family, let alone the environment.
They want to overplay their hand.

An oppressive internet that they can bully, works for them.

An internet that withdraws into itself and the EU returns to pen and paper + dumb phones works for them.

The US is all on this. As long as the US owns the internet and big tech, they are happy to let other countries do the dirty work of setting boundaries.

The long term solution is to 'manualize' tech. Make all tech we touch, open and ready to modify, run at full capacity and be easily controlled by a single man.

The only way to keep tech free, is to take it out of the System's hands and put it into the hands of the average joe, for his control.

And feed the machines silence.
Interesting idea. At the least it’s always good to see both sides of the coin not just blindly believing one. Not saying one should accept there’s no free will but at least think about it.
I gasped when I saw this screen, it was the first game I played on a computer, my science teacher's TRS-80 he brought to school. My friend Jim and I would take turns sitting at the keyboard and calling out commands to type. I haven't seen that screen in over 40 years. Later that year I got my first programming job writing some program in basic to track grades for the teacher. Goodness it brings back a flood of memories, the black science lab table the computer was on, the green or was it amber screen, the floppy disk drive thunk when you closed it and the sounds of the drive working. Our excitement when we would destroy an enemy, or make it safely to a space station. What a great time we had with that simple machine.
I feel the opposite way. I rarely even use complete sentences with GPT4. It doesn't need them and I find any pretense that the object is a person insulting to people.

nah that’s just what ideologues say because they care more about their top-down control agenda. If climate change was fixed tomorrow, they’d be disappointed because they wouldn’t be able to exact control over others in the name of climate concern.

Plant more trees. Invest in renewables.

Fidgeting can make a big difference, at least it’s appeared that way in a couple sources I’ve seen referenced here in the past - failing to have those handy I found this:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15681386/

No idea how accurate it is, but an extra 350 calories burned is a pretty big improvement over _not_ having those burned.

I doubt fidgeting alone is sufficient to keep most people skinny. There’s a lot that impacts our weight. But if somebody’s automatically burning calories because they have a hard time stopping fidgeting, that might ease the load a bit so they could eat a bit more or walk a little less than would be the case without it.

EDIT: it feels worth mentioning that fidgeting can be an all day activity for some people, 8+ hours. Walking 10k steps takes maybe 1.5 hours, more or less depending on the persons speed. It wouldn’t be as much of a workout replacement as a whole lifestyle change.

Neat!
That is so awful, Britain is trying on this sort of thing too saying it is to protect children. However they don't try and support citizen organiztions that do a good job there, and have been involved in actions showing it is much lower priority than control. Has anyone ever done a study even of how much benefit it would have in countering paedophiles even ignoring any loss from the general control freakery and general loss of freedom? I think it would be quite ineffective compared to the citizen organizations countering paedophilia. It's just trying to emulate China in conttrolling the population.
I think it doesn't mean everything within the last 24 hours is yesterday but everything before the past 24 hours isn't yesterday anymore.

But usually that's not the decision of the computer but the programmer.

So the original release of ChatGPT would call a URL you entered in the chat? I don't recall it acting that way. In the linked post ChatGPT literally goes to a URL from an image... i.e. it calls something like curl with that URL. This definitely seems like something adjacent to an LLM.
I loved this series a lot. Watching these classic songs just tumble out of them was very magical and electric.
I don't think it is right. Moment.js for instance, does not work this way. It uses the calendar day definition of "yesterday". Times between the immediately preceding midnight and the midnight before is considered yesterday.
I use it all the time to embed graphviz diagrams by instructing it to url-encode them and include it in the query string to a rendering endpoint. It spooked me enough that I added proxy layer to verify that it’s not rendering what appears to be a chat or PII.

The world isn’t ready for LLMs unleashed like this. Any plugin could do the same thing, and exfiltrate any part of the chat context with very little instruction engineering to bypass what things guardrails exist on the plugins side.
I care enough that I limit my own carbon footprint (easier in Holland where you can bike to most places) and always vote for the party that is most eager to tackle climate change. Sadly it looks like it will take many years before a voting majority goes that way...
They were not "doxxed". There is no expectation of privacy when signing an open letter and using your affiliation to boost it.

Also, I don't think they deserve much sympathy. These are the same people who will put your name in a hundred lists and advocate for your firing if you say anything significantly in contradiction to their ideology.
Trees are great carbon sinks. Especially the ones that live for hundreds of years. If more trees get planted, then soon they’d be giant carbon sinks for hundreds of years. That’s more than enough time for artificial co2 sequestration tech to catch up with more effective permanent solutions.
A diet that contains a high nutritional content will prevent you from over-eating due to satiety signals (unless you have a hormone issue) rather than eating to the point of feeling "stuffed" - if someone is eating to the point of feeling "stuffed" then it would suggest that they are not eating food with a high nutritional content, or that they have some disorder that is interfering with their normal eating process.

if this were true it would be possible to create a diet full of foods with such satiety signals and the obesity crisis could be fixed. way easier said than done. 7-grain bread is very nutritious yet a loaf is easily 1000+ calories. Easy to overeat on it given it's just mostly air.

So many works of science fiction deal with illusion of choice, but they typically go the time travel route to make their point.

But for my money, nothing beats Alex Garland's miniseries Devs for the way the entire production is designed around the idea of a deterministic universe. They really try to get you believing and feeling the reality.

What would it feel like to be in a deterministic universe? To have the certain knowledge? Dread isn't quite it, but to contradict the OP a bit, something like existential terror is an understandable reaction. To quote from a poem appropriated in the show, "the mind blanks at the glare."

> As a concrete example, LLMs and how they relate to copyright and image rights.

Why the heck is any new law needed at all for copyright? The only accusation is that LLMs did not respect current copyright laws, not that the current copyright law is insufficient. Specifically, there was a commonly used corpus of pirated copyright material (books3) that was used to train many LLMS. Its hosting was withdrawn when challenged by copyright holders. That's the system working as intended.

The main issue to me is the asymmetry on how much it really matters when date need to be precise, vs how how little it matters the rest of the time.

Putting the spotlight on the format optimized for the people who care the less feels odd. There's not much load on the brain if we just skip the info we don't care about.
Waiting is also a good strategy!

As of Linux 6.5, the scheduler understands that when one SMT "core" is busy, that means it might not be the best idea to schedule something on the the other "core", since it's really just a single core with a very low cost context switch. This makes certain very-parallel things noticeably snappier for me, and I can see it on the CPU usage graphs.

YMMV due to cache coherency and NUMA issues. :D
