It's a new hammer and everyone is trying to make up new nails to hit with it.

Heard a pm say "hey we don't have anything about AI in there, what should we do with it" while reviewing the plan for next quarter.

But hey the good thing is that we'll have to figure out AI solutions for the problems that bad ai generates
This approach is really interesting as it connects to function, since the mapping is done molecularly (ie, which genes are activated in any given cell). Previous methods to categorise cells by morphology and electrical activity patterns also roughly correlate to function, but this should be able to give us better insights about which pathways to manipulate.
Problems with GPS around Kremlin existed way before the war and I experienced them myself. Didn't know about the other places because last time I've been to Moscow itself (not the airports) was several years ago.
Did people buy less food after grocery stores raised prices? I doubt it. If you have something people require then you can increase prices a ton as long as you ensure everyone else also does it.

The reason this doesn't happen for groceries is that starting a grocery store is very easy, if everyone increases grocery prices a competitor with lower prices will appear extremely quickly. But for services that are harder to setup you can't do that, replacing a pharma or a chip company isn't something anyone can do even if they had lots of money.

And the reason we don't want a monopoly to set these prices is that it blocks progress. Imagine if you had to pay the maximum you'd be willing to pay for food instead of the cost it takes to produce? You'd be forced to spend most of your salary on food or ration it, that isn't a society you want to live in.
Profit margin is the relevant metric, not profit (aka net income).
Awwhhhh. Boo.

Such fond memories of Worms. I finally played Dredge & it had such a charming little world & unfolds so nicely.
mainstream gaming is closer to crack addict culture than anything else

once you start exploring gamedev, FGC, or retro gaming cultures, you find more interesting people that care about game mechanics. your average call of duty player would put up with the verification can system if it meant they keep getting their gaming fix.
I am of the opinion that regardless of whether they are both illegal, the penalties for “AI” should be significantly less.
Shit writing, shit take, [current thing], #1 on HN, how the mighty have fallen.

Exclusive IPs aren’t and shouldn’t be a marker of good stewardship.

IMO, exclusives are one of the biggest issues with game systems nowadays, especially now that consoles are basically just reskinned and optimized computers.
Sandwich site?
AFAIK the last step is going to require an unsafe block, which is going to be a bright red flag even for people who don't think to grep for include_bytes.
It's still an improvement, and having a significant number of your imports be unable to use any kind of unsafe code or access files or the network greatly decreases the amount of code review you need. If I import a jpeg decoder that works only on buffers I provide and has no unsafe code or equivalents, then I don't have to worry about it exfiltrating any personal data.
The problem is the env stays readily accessible to most programs with similar permissions and all child programs if no special actions are taken.

This is (part of) the reason programs accept secrets like passwords normally only (or strongly recommended) over stdin or similar instead of env variable or cmdline.

Or why it's not rare (or was in the past, probably is today) to have a encrypted cert file and inject the password to it through a side channel.

It's also not rare for programs to dump environment variables in various situations, including to logs. Or e.g. an intrusion detection program might snapshot all programs running + their cmd arguments + their (creation) env and then run analysis on it.

And while you can use e.g. selinux and similar to add a ton of security and prevent such issues, or use systemd to run the program under ad-hoc users with minimal permissions and various isolation it's very often not done.

EDIT:

To be clear I'm not saying you can't use secrets in environment variables safely.

I'm saying by default by their design environment variables are not "secure for secret passing". But many things for which stuff like that is true can, under the right circumstances, still be used securely.
I was let go from Google in January, I started work on an iPad app: a visual schedule for neuro-atypical children to help them with tasks:

Never mentioned: How much $$$Extra the farmers will have to pay for each GMO'ed chicken - which cost will then be passed along to consumers, with a fat mark-up.
Yes. This is one of the large reasons why I stopped going to Amazon entirely.

> Now if I want to shop online, I visit a store's website and buy directly

This is what I do as well. Interestingly, my experience doing that has generally been better than Amazon in every way, except that if I want 2 day shipping (which I rarely want very much) then there is often a minimum order or additional fee. Which is fine.
Networked Life (Penn Syllabus)
> Way back in the day, there used to be a field of study called Human Computer Interaction, where people would learn about things like Fitt's Law...

Which, despite the name, is not a law and should not be called such. I've had so many people claim that I'm wrong for disliking the global menu in MacOS because "Fitt's Law" says it's better. And yet, it's still less usable for me despite the claim that this "law" makes or what Apple's defenders say.

If people's subjective preference can be contrary to what Fitt observed, then it's not a law. A law is something that is true for everyone, it is not a matter of opinion. I have no doubt that this is a useful maxim, but it's not a law and I really wish it wasn't named so poorly.
Nature doesn't care what (and how) we humans think.
> Why did the FBI then start a manhunt on Reddit leading to the suicide of the falsely accused suspect?

You have your facts completely mixed up. The man falsely accused by Reddit, not the FBI, had died a month before the Boston bombings occurred. The entire reason he was accused by Reddit is because he was already known to have been missing. His body was subsequently discovered more than a month after he died.
That sounds pretty bad, a cloud service needs to see all notifications?
And white is 1+2+4 = 7. Wow, it makes so much sense now.
An excel spreadsheet for budgeting and my phones calendar.
I was also using a LOG.txt which is now a LOG.odt.
It’s got more of a simulation element than the others (though it’s still very game-oriented, to be clear—I’ve played modded Skyrim that was more simulationist than FC:Primal, without even cranking those mods as far toward realism as they go) which is probably a downer if you’re in for a fun casual romp like most of the other far cry games (especially 3 on).

What I found interesting was that it, at times, made me feel a tiny fraction of the kind of awe and fear—and power—that I expect Stone Age people really did feel, for similar reasons.

It’s also one of the few games that’s ever taught me a practical non-computer skill. I string my recurve bow the way the first-time longer crafting animation for a bow shows you doing it :-)
Seems like you want to bring all the success of the war on drugs to the war on generated images.
I really wanted to test this idea last weekend at a crowded festival in a town center. I had been waiting for a spot since parking was basically impossible to find. As I was halfway into the spot, a woman ran up and placed herself an inch from my front bumper while calling her friend four blocks away to tell them she had a spot. I was still blocking the travel lane partially and she refused to move even when I closed that inch down to mere millimeters. I may have even tapped her slightly.

If I hadn't been 1500 miles from home I would have gladly continued moving forward at idle speed or just left my car where it was and gone on my way but any legal hassles would have been extra painful having to travel back and fight it. As it was after about 5 minutes of this, a spot opened up two spaces over and I was able to slide over and grab it.
What you say is true but in terms of hiring and screening candidates it really depends.

One important aspect of all skills is to know the limitations and boundaries of said skill. It’s probably fine if somebody implemented ML on a trivial problem to learn and practice, but if they didn’t realize there could be better solutions in the first place and that ML isn’t a solution to everything, then it’s a big red flag for me.

Also, finding a good problem for a solution is also a handy skill, if one can’t figure out how to apply their skills to a real problem, then that does give slightly negative impressions.
You can ask it to give you its prompt or change the prompt.
Do voice calls work (it is a "phone", after all)? Will my texts and emails get through with less than 5 minute latency? Will it jump to wifi when I'm at work or home? If so, that's fine.

I'm not trying to serve websites with my phone, I'm merely communicating.

And I have run out of energy for fighting an increasingly hostile service provider to bring my $130 bill (which used to be less than half that) back down to earth when it could be $15.
Hack a Tier1 ;)... Start a workshop and get tester access? Look into the comma ai pile of stuff they gathered?
In my specific case, we were already doing business with a client for unrelated matters and they brought a new problem to us asking if we might be able to address it. Turned out the broader market had a similar problem so it took off. Once we had 1 client, we could convince the 2nd and so on.

I think much of this is chicken-egg at the end of the day. Trust & networking is a hell of a challenge. There is no reality in which we could have walked into a client totally cold and proposed what we are selling today.

I think "hunting for problems" is part of the mission, but you also need people to be willing to work with you once you identify one. One element of successful professional networking should be a constant stream of "hmm maybe an opportunity?".

Building reputation in your target market seems to be the most difficult aspect of B2B SaaS.
> Adults would come in and say things like "What would I ever do with the internet?". Today feels a lot like those early days. Make of it what you will.

That makes perfect sense, as online shopping wasn't what sold consumers on the Internet. It was email.

Online shopping came years later and early Amazon wasn't much more than an electronic mail-order catalog.

You wouldn't be able to sell Internet to somebody on the promise 'A lot of cool stuff is coming down the pipeline soon'. Same thing with consumer AI currently. Lots of potential, no killer app.
I was curious about this. The guy you're saying was falsely accused was ALREADY dead from suicide before the bombing took place. His body was found days after the bombing according to Wikipedia [1]. (took 3 seconds to find this reference)
Also its a bit ridiculous to suggest the FBI tasked redditors with a manhunt.

My initial thoughts are that it will be a free entity. As per local regulations in Europe, this can't be a tax exempted enterprise either. So basically a cooperative or a private business with a non profit charter.
You make an interesting point - I never thought about advocacy groups and the PR risks they might carry. I was more thinking about end users/consumers and private businesses. I suppose that is a risk you carry irrespective I guess - even if you were a private, for profit business.

Where was your non profit ISP based if I may ask?
I'd wager this is more of a result of Mark Zuckerberg not wanting competition from other reptilian forces and he's using weather machines to wipe away competing cold-blooded tribes
Awwwww fuck.

Digilent is a National business unit, and I use their Analog Discovery devices day-in and day-out on a Mac. They're way better than Saleae Logics. If NI is dropping OSX support for LabVIEW, then Waveforms will be collateral damage. Fuck.

Indeed! (Numbers themselves lie at the foundation of Nature.)
I'm on an iphone X also. I have no issues consuming information on mobile devices. They are great for that, in fact. Ad blockers, reader mode, and instapaper solve most issues related to intrusive ads and bad formatting.

My problems arise when I need to actually do something (copy, paste, create, edit, move, etc.), then they are terrible and I very much prefer a desktop.
> I assume the answer to that will be that there is no need to differentiate between them. And honestly, I agree with that argument.

Why do you believe that?
aren't ideological lines fake? people are just incoherent liars who pretend to have beliefs, but really just react to whatever is panicking then right now.
Age of Empires, for one. Thoughtful updates and remastered versions that aren’t priced like new games. Then new games that are actually worth the update. Can’t wait for that same ethos to be applied to Warcraft.
I hate most auto-hide scrollbars. Something I didn't see mentioned in TFA was the fact that I mostly use scrollbars as a read-only tool; sure they are good for the occasional scrubbing through content, but mostly I scroll with the keyboard or scroll-wheel.

Glancing to the side and seeing both how much scrolling there is (by the size of the scrollbar grab target[1]) and how much space I have to go (by the position of the scrollbar grab target is something I use all the freaking time.

1: This is a relatively modern feature. The first decade or so of me using scrollbars they were a fixed size)
> You don't get to just 'decide' if your fledgling business is a potential unicorn or will just be a lifestyle SaaS business. It's a product of your idea/technology, the size of the market, competitive pressures, and your early traction.

Sure you do. Of course there are types of businesses that only succeed if they're a unicorn, but for the most part, you can decide how much business you want to do. I know we're talking about software, but I deal with lots of restaurants in my life. Say you start a restaurant, and after the initial opening craziness, you see that's it's a sustainable business with lots of loyal customers that like your food. There are people who are going to tell you to open another location, to franchise it out. You'll need investors to do that. It may or may not make you more money. You might think your product has the potential to be the next big chain. You also get the choice whether you want to do that or not.

If you have a good product that people want to pay for, you more than likely will have the choice to decide whether you want to scale the business up larger.
Yeah but you don't get to rub elbows and party with VCs! Isn't that what it's actually about? /s
The part I was objecting to is "A misfire is raw fuel being expelled." That's just plain wrong.
To paint broad strokes, the layout phase (~= take the HTML, take the CSS, determine the position and size of boxes) is largely sequential in production browser engine today. Selector matching (~= what CSS applies to what element) is parallel in Firefox today, via the Stylo Rust crate originally developed in the research browser engine Servo. Servo can do parallel layout in some capacity (but doesn't implement everything), https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Servo-Layout-Engines-Rep... is an interesting and recent document on the matter.

Parallel layout is generally considered to be a complex engineering problem by domain experts.

Rendering the page, as in deciding the colour of each pixel and putting them on the screen, based on the layout, style, and various other things, can be done with lots of parallelism, on the CPU or on the GPU (that is preferred on most platforms in production browser engines, these days).

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/08/inside-a-super-fast-css-en... is a really cool article that is related, that is a few years old but what it says is largely correct today.
It says:

> This shows that the database can be tainted with non-CSAM material by an entity that can submit entries to it.

Actually, it can easily be tainted by anybody. Take your massaged hash-colliding image, which remember is still visually child porn, and post it on some pedos-R-us forum. The people who maintain the database actively troll those forums. They'll see the image and add the hash to the database for you.

This is a habit-building app that I've been personally using for months now. Although it's still buggy and slow as heck (prototyped with electronjs), it has been very helpful and effective for me so far. Aside from slowly reading and finishing a book[1], I alternate in doing these on my free time:

- learn zig (currently with ziglings)
- learn 3D gamedev with godot
- learn blender
- read Crafting Interpreters
- read Computer Graphics from Scratch
- meditate consistently every early evening

Although the pacing is gradual and slower compared to traditional means, it's more relaxed and it doesn't intrude in my daily main activities. I also learn better due to natural spacing effect, which also gives me time to reflect on what I did.

Currently thinking of rewriting it in the future, especially the scheduler, but it's good enough for now, I'm instead searching for a remote work to support development.

Every cloud “dashboard” is total shit (there are whole businesses that do nothing but provide a better UI for them, that’s how bad they are) but AWS does indeed take the prize for worst.
On a tangent, the Japanese electronic trade group blocked the manufacture of Dual Deck VCRs in the '80s. Go-Video[1] had a arranged for a Japanese manufacturer to manufacture for them when the trade group went in an nixed the deal.

As for the question, I have no idea. But why not?
No, I don't support any automated scanning system or really any sort of "going out of our way" to find new criminals.

The reason I think it's a bad idea to differentiate between real or AI is similar to the arguments against "means testing" for distributing benefits. You don't want to put real victims in a situation where they're deprived of justice because they can't prove that their victimization was "real." Imagine a real CSAM criminal claiming a defense that they "thought it was AI generated." Do you want to give them that out?

If protecting those victims comes at a cost of punishing criminals possessing AI-generated CSAM with sentences equally as harsh as those for "real" CSAM, then it's a worthwhile cost to pay. They are still criminals, and they are definitely not innocent (unless they're being framed, but that's a risk with both real and AI images).
Unsafe is hardly a bigger red flag than mmap'ing an opaque blob with PROT_EXEC and then calling a function in it. But the entire pretense of such an attack is that you're not looking at the malicious code.

Unsafe is not really a red flag, except for people who don't understand what unsafe means. And like you point out, if you see it, you need to audit the code regardless.
This is the problem with all players raising prices to the same rate at nearly the same time. There are simply no alternatives and people need to pay the higher price. That's kind of the whole point of the article.

True, but it gets into weird situations where say something can take me an hour that takes most people 3-4 hours. How do you bill in those scenarios? It rarely ever ends up fair to me vs what other people would likely charge.
If you want to be scientifically accurate; most of the time queen doesn't do work. It's workers/foragers that collect food and do most of the work. I have done research with for few years, if you want any suggestions on these aspects.

Oh, how I wish that were my experience. That Amazon failed at this for me more than once was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Honestly the biggest issue with Linux desktop right now is that Xorg is still more compatible and widely used. I tried Wayland on multiple machines and always had trouble when using it on my Laptop with no way to switch between integrated and dedicated Graphics cards(on X i always used optimus-manager which works fine 99% of the time).

I can't wait to finally switch to Wayland when those issues are fixed.
Natural Language to SQL on real estate data
Question answering with an LLM on relational data is hard because the LLM does not know the business and data context. Current approaches are to use few-shot prompting and instructions.

This is a sample set up showing how to set up with US real estate data. With ~60 sample NL <> SQL pairs and ~5 instructions the accuracy gets pretty good. The agent does take ~90 seconds to answer each question though.
> thoughts on reliability of iCloud primary (only?) storage of important documents?

Using it for primary storage is fine, using anything as the only storage is never fine.

iCloud isn’t a backup solution. Combine it with Time Machine for making backups to a local disk and you’re probably good enough.

The risk of losing the hard disk while also losing iCloud data is low. The risk of mismanaging your backups may be higher than that.

For extra safety or if you think you’ll sometimes really need a non-current version of a file, use multiple local disks, swap them around each week or so and keep them in different locations, or store the files you may need non-current version of in GitHub/GitLab/…
I can't find any evidence this happened. What I did find evidence for is that Redditors started a manhunt leading to a suicide. If you actually believe this happened, please inform us.
Good to see more attempts at analyzing dependencies for malware.

Plug: we've been building Packj [1] to detect malicious Python/NPM/Ruby/Rust/Java/PHP packages. It carries out static/dynamic/metadata analysis to look for "suspicious” attributes such as spawning of shell, use of files, network communication, use of decode+eval, mismatch of GitHub code vs packaged code, and several more.

After using all these AI systems I still don't believe we will have AGI anytime soon. At least by the definition stated here in the article.

Uber put a huge part of it's future value into self-driving cars replacing those expensive drivers. Didn't work out for them.

Tesla's system won't pass Level 2 with vision only.

Google's setup works good enough until it doesn't.

I see ChatGPT and others as the next step up from factory robots. Those robots replaced certain workers and repetitive tasks. Now ChatGPT can do that for copy and certain things like that.

However there are still a lot of physical jobs that a robot can not do even though we have tried very hard even on a factory floor. Elon had to learn that lesson the hard way. The same will apply to these systems. It will program something for you to a certain point, then you need humans.
Are there any other good websites that have these kind of printable tools?
