Curious what you mean by this. I know it's a sensitive topic but... the people who are really "far left" or "far right" definitely aren't what I would call "on the same side with one another" unless you mean "pawns/positioned against each other by the media they seek out to consume/think the worst of each other/are ultra radical"

Not sure what you might mean by "that's one side"
Again, if you read the article, it would probably say X claims Y, not Y is true. Like BBC articles:

- Hundreds feared dead at Gaza hospital as Israel denies strike (17 hours ago)

- Hospital blast in Gaza City kills hundreds - health officials (18 hours ago)

- Dozens killed as Israeli strikes hit southern Gaza refuge areas (1 day ago)

The last one is before the hospital was hit.

If you have a specific article with a headline, what was it?

The only thing I can find is:

https://www.thejc.com/news/news/bbc-criticised-after-reporte...

Which wasn't a headline, rather than in-person live report. And ya, that's still bad, but it isn't as bad as crafting an article with time to think and still coming up with a bad headline. And even in the live reporting, the byline still has attribution ("health officials: at least 500 killed in strike on hospital"), meaning I would need to actually hear what was said live to pass judgement (if they said "health officials are saying that X is true" is quite different from saying "X is true").
They said "terminal", not "CLI/TUI apps", so probably only using cat, sed, and ed ;)

Well, yeah, of course if you think creating AIs is bad for the planet, then you're going to choose not to create AIs and not to help others do so.
Adaptability is the key to success in the dynamic realm of AI applications. Enter LangChain Agents, the intelligent decision-makers that redefine how applications respond to user input. Here, I’ll shine a light on the role of agents in LangChain and explore how they make applications more adaptive, responsive, and user-centric.

The Evolving User Landscape

User expectations are ever-evolving, and in the era of AI, personalized and responsive interactions are no longer a luxury but a necessity. Users seek applications that understand their queries and adapt to their unique needs and preferences.

Meet LangChain Agents

LangChain introduces a groundbreaking concept: Agents. These agents are the driving force behind intelligent and adaptable applications. Here’s a closer look at their role:

1. Tools at Their Disposal

Agents have access to a suite of tools. These tools encompass various functionalities, from language models to data sources, external APIs, and more. Agents are equipped with the resources needed to respond to user input effectively.

2. Dynamic Decision-Making

What sets LangChain Agents apart is their dynamic decision-making capabilities. Instead of following a predetermined sequence of actions, agents can evaluate user input and decide which, if any, of the available tools to call. This adaptability enables applications to respond to various user queries and needs.

3. Customization and Personalization

LangChain Agents can be tailored to specific use cases, domains, or industries. They are not one-size-fits-all; instead, they adapt to the unique requirements of the application and its user base. This level of customization allows for highly personalized and context-aware interactions.

4. Toolkits

LangChain provides Toolkits, which are collections of tools organized to accomplish specific tasks. Agents can leverage these Toolkits, streamlining the process of selecting the right tools for the job. This structure simplifies the decision-making process and enhances the efficiency of Agents.

Responsive and Adaptive Applications

The real magic of LangChain Agents lies in their ability to make applications responsive and adaptive. Users today expect applications to understand their queries, provide relevant information, and adapt to changing contexts. LangChain Agents make this a reality by ensuring that the right tools are called based on the user’s input and needs.

Conclusion

LangChain Agents are the bridge between user input and application responsiveness. They are the key to making applications more adaptive, user-centric, and intelligent. Whether answering questions, assisting with tasks, or providing recommendations, LangChain Agents are at the forefront of creating personalized and dynamic interactions.

The future of AI applications belongs to those that can adapt and respond to users’ unique queries and needs. LangChain Agents are the catalysts for this transformation, making the dream of truly responsive and adaptive applications a reality.

What's the economic path for a young person who is willing to do so?

If it's "going away to college to get an ag degree," you'll find that most who embark on that journey change course by graduation, as they can make more money with less work in corporate farm ops.

That said, I know someone who went out and knocked on farmhouse doors in a nearby river valley. She met and befriended an octogenarian farmer who gifted her ~160 acres on the condition that she give the farm away for free when she retires. I'm sure that's the exception, not the rule.

That was 15 years ago, the old man is long gone but she's still running the farm today, raising heirloom livestock and selling top shelf meats to chefs in the city.

When processing astrophotos, multiple exposures are “stacked” together. There is a certain amount of noise in each frame - due to electronic noise or simply the random number of photons that strike a pixel in any one exposure - that you want to average out on a per-pixel basis.

However some frames may contain unwanted outliers, for example if a satellite briefly passes overhead it will appear as a very bright streak in only one frame.

By winsorizing, outlying pixel values can be eliminated while still maintaining the same number of samples per pixel as the rest of the stacked image.
They have an option to destroy your data and the original sample you sent in

> any better than reusing a password

It is. That way you only trust your password manager and not every single app you use (that can easily dump your password when you login, or might even store it as plaintext).

If a password manager is open source and you know how to audit it, you could do that. Otherwise you can ask somebody you trust who knows better.

That is a possibility indeed. You should make backups, of course.

It’s all about image. If the spokesperson can’t project the image the sponsor wants, they are gone.

Anything from sex scandals (leaked photos/videos) to being caught doing drugs (pretty much a death sentence for any celebrity’s career there) could get you dropped and blacklisted from the industry.
Note GP didn't say "fluctuations in its asset value are meaningless", they said "Comparing the balance sheet fluctuations of a bank to its market cap is meaningless".

What I can't afford is to deal with a regressive tax legislation [], while trying to get US currency in the black market [2] to save and pay for imported goods and without a line of credit because the rate is ~190% and inflation ~130% [3].

Here's me in 1995 talking about demos on Usenet!

https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos/c/TR8hmM3I...

My demos were my resume (CV) at the time. I remember Jez San of Argonaut (Starfox) contacting me and wanting me to come interview for a development position. I was 16 IIRC.

A year or so after that I became a professional game developer. In fact, the game I was working on was changed from 2D to 3D overnight and I pulled out my demo source and ported the whole 3D engine over in two weeks:

https://youtu.be/t2kdKB18c7I?t=330

Demos really force you to learn everything there is to know about how a modern computer system works, CPU, RAM, ROM, bus, video, etc. That knowledge will remain invaluable.

I mostly do web dev in C#, but any time I write a single line of code my brain is thinking in the background "how many opcodes will this be? what about this branch? am I making an extra copy of this variable for no reason?"
Backup generators, pre stocked fuel, and manual pumps are all cheap ways to provide redundancy.

In the principle of charity, I would assume that the GP meant average tech companies that reach public markets via IPOs or SPACs. Just look at the performance of those in the last few years. They have crashed much harder than S&P.
I can't explain that.

The DOE seems to have assigned "moderate" confidence to the idea of a lab leak on the basis of zero concrete evidence. Taking the assessment on the whole it seems obvious to me that the argument from them is weak, but the assessment can't come out and just state that in plain English.
> who is stopping me?

Their lawyer, if your depiction is covered by personality rights and the situation is significant enough to pursue damages. This is pretty much never going to be the case with an individual drawing (especially if only available non-commercially), but there are plenty of examples of people winning or settling for substantial sums after, for example, their likeness was used to advertise something without their consent.

> So why are we trying to stop AI?

Because a bunch of companies are trying to launder various legal liabilities (copyright, personality rights, etc) through the claim of 'it was just training data'.
I miss the era where if you're bored you would just go to a website and then spend half the day going over every nook and cranny of it.
He's probably right.

But part of me wonders:

Shouldn't we first prioritize other things like, you know, reducing hunger caused by lack of food, reducing ignorance due to lack of access to a good education, increasing human rights in areas that lack them, promoting stable political institutions in places that lack them, engineering solutions to prevent or delay catastrophic climate change, and so on?

There are so many unsolved problems that are urgent right now.

Wait, are they talking about porn of real people (much less children)? My assumption was they were talking about 100% AI generated people where any similarity to real people was purely coincidental.

Yes, you're still a thousand mutations away from each other. The FCS is tiny. The mutations are spread all over the entire genome--although the main areas are in spike RBD (which suggests that RaTG13 may not be able to use ACE2 at all). The PRRAR FCS that SARS-CoV-2 uses is also a previously-unknown-to-humans FCS and not one a human scientist would have naively guessed would work.

>there is zero obligation, moral logical or any other kind, on people who are worried to prove anything.

There's no obligation on anyone to prove anything. However, if you want others to change their behavior, there is a practical advantage to actually bringing evidence to the table. In the absence of evidence, the next best thing is to bring a convincing argument.

People who are working on AI aren't trying to change the behavior of folks who gesture vaguely at ill-specified dangers. Or, at least, they aren't trying very hard. Vague gesturing isn't a very convincing argument, so why would they?
I am not sure if companies like this should be illegal or heavily regulated. Where I live (in France) recreational DNA testing is illegal since 1994.

But also, if they were legal, with the GDPR they would have to obey much stricter rules about the data they collect.

"High-resolution images of Australia..did not yield signs of civilization."

I'd been living here my whole life when it flew over, and hadn't had much luck detecting such signs either.

More seriously though, I wonder if the same tests could have detected anything a few 1000 or even million years after life first evolved?
My 20 year old half-ton pickup is larger than a Rivian. People just didn't notice until urbanism became a bigger topic.

I guess the idea of "outdated" is different, as you're not the first person to mention checks still being used (in the US I assume).

Not 100% sure but I am relatively certain the last check I used here in Germany was in the 90s and the last one I had in hand was a return of an overpaid fee by some government org in the early 00s that I didn't bother cashing in (like 2 bucks or so).
Yes they are in the same space. The key difference is in how opinionated each is.

PartyKit is extremely unopinionated. It's essentially lightweight javascript server, that launches fast and autoscales (I don't say this as as a bad thing, it's a useful primitive). Most people seem to run yjs in PartyKit, but you can also run automerge or even Replicache – my company's other project.

Reflect is entirely focused on providing the best possible multiplayer experience. We make a lot of choices up and down the stack to tightly integrate everything so that multiplayer just works and you can focus on building your app.

That's the plan anyway :).
Also, the sad decline of onion-belt wearing.
Actually even before that we have to figure out how the logistics of any sort of ban involving porn models will even work when said models are made open-source and are smeared out across a million websites, discord servers, and torrents; with new varients coming out as fast as the various overpowered gaming and mining machines of the masses can shoot them out.

Like, I really don't understand someone can look at how well suppressing something like piracy has gone and then go and be like "Yeah an AI ban could work"
As the old adage says "porn doesn't pay, but hoarding user's data does!!!"
I'd think it would also depend on the prevailing winds. Better to live upwind than downwind. And same with the river. Better to be upriver than downriver.
That's a miscommunication. I didn't say it was 100% of the population, I said that it's 100% an Arab city. Not a Jewish city.

I highly doubt the 37% number though. I'm guessing it includes new construction on the outskirts as Arabic is the main language around in the street and in most shops. Looking at the Hebrew page there are more than 46,400 Arabs living in Tel-Aviv/Jaffa compared to 414,200 Jews most of whom live in the Tel Aviv region. Some Jews live in Jaffa but it's still very much an Arab city.

This is a description of someone without a scientific mind. You don't need to be a scientist, but if you believe in magic, maybe a technology organisation isn't the best place for you.
