> All without worrying about hallucinations. In other words, they are quite ‘safe’

Within limits, yes. In some use cases a vector notion of similarity isn't always ideal.

For example, in the article "France" and "Germany" are considered similar. Yes, they are, but if you're searching for stuff about France then stuff about Germany is a false positive.

Embeddings can also struggle with logical opposites. Hot/cold are in many senses similar concepts, but they are also opposites. Finding the opposite of what you're searching for isn't always helpful.

I wouldn't say embeddings are overlooked exactly? Right now it feels like man+dog are building embedding based search engines. The next frontier is probably going to be balancing conventional word based approaches with embeddings to really maximize result quality, as sometimes you want "vibes" and sometimes you want control.

You are confusing letter with codepoint and glyph. The IJ is one letter, which consists of two glyphs, and in the Unicode implementation two codepoints. This isn't some historic oversight in Unicode, it was implemented like this based on the Dutch orthography.

Yes, this can lead to bugs in software, but so can anything related to names.

It is deprecated in Dutch to use a single codepoint for the IJ. That was never really an option in any of the character encodings in popular use.

The fact that it is one letter is relevant in cases like (vertical) lettering (which most designers nowadays fuck up), in typography (the number of fonts which make ij look awkward and unaligned is huge), and in collation and sorting using a Dutch locale. I will defend its proper use and treatment where possible, but representing it as a single codepoint is not a sensible goal, and never was.
All the things that made WebOS interesting and a competitor to both iPhone and Android (and Blackberry, and Windows) are gone and not usable in the TV interface.

I don't think this is strictly a technical problem, at least not when it happens in international contexts (it's inexcusable for your own country's authorities to not be able to record your actual culturally-specific name).

The reality is that there is a limited char set that is actually understandable at an international level, and it's not that different from ASCII. Even with paper systems, if you go to Rome to sign into a hotel and you give your name as 依诺, they will not be able to even write it down, nevermind pronounce it. And even if you tell them it's Yī Nuò, they will likely ignore the accents since they won't know what those mean. Similarly, if you go to China and say your name is Sângeorz-Băi, they will not know what the diacritics mean and will not be easily able to write them down.

In all times in history, when multiple cultures interact, they have to find a common subset of their languages to communicate in, and that includes names. The situation in writing is actually much much better, even if limitted to ASCII, than it is in actual spoken language. Maybe you can write my name down perfectly (Simionescu), but I would bet you won't use the proper pronunciation unless you happen to know Romanian - you will likely use different vowels and consonants.
Which is why seldom good ever happens in the land of profit-driven business.
As opposed to Apple with no real multi tasking and Safari as the only browser? ;)

The difference was Apple had a clear vision on what they wanted the technology to be while Nokia was divided between squeezing a bit more out of Symbian or invest in their 'follow up' Linux-based line. They didn't need Elop to screw up, they did that perfectly by themselves.
If sales were better and Microsoft had continued with Windows phone it probably would have saved Nokia.
Airlines are probably the laziest of them all. You should always store the original name. If other foreign people are supposed to write or read it, then ask passengers to write in their Romanized name as well. Both should be displayed, but only the original should be used for "ID" purposes.

Shocking that a bank would have such an old system in operation. As a student, we visited ING HQ where a big server room was shown to us that ran virtualized version of much older systems.

In my car I have a comfy seat and can control my environment (noise, temperature etc.) and whom I share the space with. On the bus I'm often standing and crammed in between dozens of other people. Also the really big problem isn't being stuck in traffic on the bus, but being stuck standing in the cold at the bus stop waiting for the bus that is stuck in traffic or cancelled.

You basically start with a cult and once you get adopted by a large enough power you become a religion.

So the first signs would be an AI led cult.

I know Python since version 1.6, and Go is such a downgrade in productivity that I would only use it when not given an option, like on some DevOps tools.

As someone that has experience with static binaries since 1990, way before dynamic loading was a common option in modern computing, yeah it works on the other computer, provided the distribution is exactly the same, and all required files and network configurations are exactly the same.
I'm not the author, but I can empathise with them.

The diff highlighting can be surprisingly distracting and it can definitely help readability to turn it off. I certainly do turn it off from time to time in my diff viewer so I can see the code with fresh eyes, but I don't have the option to show the unified diff in a split pane.
I've personally switched back from console to PC gaming, even in the living room.

The Deck was awesome and reinvigorated PC gaming, but building an AMD ITX system for the TV and sticking HoloISO on it for the same experience as the Deck has been great for couch co-op which has mostly been abandoned by consoles. Online co-op can now be satisfied with the TV and the Deck so we can still play together. Can't really do that easily with many consoles.
Also, historical revisionism anyone?
Yeah ok that just leaves me more amazed. I think the military owns about 1% of all US territory measured by area.
Well, that is Waymo's plan, which is explicitly a robotaxi, that this article is about. If we were talking about Teslas, the self-driving vision for instance would be different.
You could translate beliefs about an all-knowing, all-powerful, divine God and beliefs about the Singularity are almost 1:1 - including faith in an afterlife if "consciousness uploads" are considered.

The only thing the "rapture for nerds" lacks is a rigorous dogma dictated by an AI itself - Roko's Basilisk might count but it's just a midwit thought exercise - which as inferred by the posted article will probably change once an actual AI manages to convince enough people of its nascent transcendence.

And of course it will happen - a Google engineer, remember, was convinced one of their AIs was sentient not long ago. Humans are just hardwired for this fallacy, unfortunately. It doesn't even take superhuman persuasion, people will just believe.

> Outcomes for lower-middle to lower-upper class people (people with insurance, but without enough money for custom treatment etc.) are normal for an industrialised high-GDP country, not particularly better than comparable countries.

Basically nobody has money for "custom treatment" -- it takes years to do medical research, if not decades, with no guarantee that it will pan out before you die. If you're rich and you get diagnosed with something, you're getting the same drug as anyone else (because nothing better is known to exist), in a comfier room and possibly with marginally faster lab results. And if you did manage to spend a billion dollars to actually cure the thing, everybody else gets the cure too.

The rich people in other countries come to the US to get largely the same treatment as ordinary people in the US with insurance get, and it's not for no reason.

> As with so many problems in the US, maybe you could try doing what works in other countries?

This is a structural problem. The US constitution was drafted with the intent of having a weak federal government and doesn't include the right kinds of checks and balances to thwart corruption when there are large federal programs -- and some of the most important preexisting ones were removed, like requiring federal taxes to be apportioned and having US Senators elected by state legislatures so they would dampen federal overreach.

But it's not clear how to unscrew the pooch. Typically that sort of change happens following some turmoil, but those kinds of events can just as easily make it worse as better. You need to have someone in power who is willing to institute formal limits on their own ability to be corrupt, in a system where those currently in power are corrupt and interested in using their power to maintain that as the status quo.

Also, many other countries have equivalent problems, and some other countries have only solved them in ways that create different but at least equally undesirable problems.
In the areas where it's not profitable enough, it won't get set up. And we can guarantee that states and cities will leave huge gaps.

It's not people's behaviour. It's the state of public transport. Lots of delays, dirty seats, crowded spaces, weird smells, hard noises, jerky movements etc etc etc.
I'd be okay if the state would ban cars, and put all that money into extremely well thought out public transport. But that won't happen.

Of course, because in your personal car you have your own A/C, music, comfort, privacy, and agency. A bus really needs its own lane instead of being stuck in traffic with all the other schmucks who refuse to take it, but few US cities have the balls to do it.

If at peak time only 60% of people are driving that means we saved 40% of parking space at no traffic cost, even if we just park the cars normally! That is significant.

I'm also convinced that the peak share of vehicles in use is less than 60% at any time of the day and year, but happy to be proven wrong.
If it was a worthy competitor it would have stayed around in mobile devices, I was never impressed with the Web based UI in the Psions.

Nokia had already tried it a couple of years before with the Web runtime for Symbian, and it wasn't great either, nor the failed Firefox OS.

It lives on as TV OS, and actually the experience is much better than Android TV, regarding the UI junk (less of it), hence why I got it.

And yeah, there are people still shipping apps for it to run on TV, if one feels so inclined to do so.

Continuing along your style of argumentation, mainstream macro, and most other economics, is to economomy what the clergy was to feudal rule. That's probably also its main epistemological justification. Very helpful for few indeed. And strayed quite a bit from Popper.

You own the phone. And they mostly get in trouble for lying about the things they record on phone, not for doing it.

But they own the car. And is it illegal for a cabbie to listen, and then tell their boss a stock tip, or that the Jones are buying a new house?

To add distance, they could real time listen in car, process locally, and only upload highlights as tags/text, so no recording. They could also process live, and then offer services in ride, eg "notice your hair is shaggy, Google Maps says this is a good barber!", and of course if you want that referral, as a barber, Google Maps you pay.

This is a better interpretation and also conforms to experimental / theoretical backing that tries to deemphasize “time” as a measurable.

Refining the time metric in the Heisenberg limit to be couched in entropy is also common. Time is not really trusted as a fundamental quantity due to lack of observerless descriptions, and entropy and time have ultra similar properties, and indeed may be fundamentally linked. They both seem to flow in one direction and are impossible to reverse in the absolute sense.

The point of “squeezing” is to push a lot of uncertainty in one variable so that one could measure much lower variance in the other variable post-squeeze… both pre and post squeeze are Heisenberg bound, but post-squeeze uncertainty is lower than pre-squeeze and therefore “under the limit” pre-squeeze.

When I spoke to ligo for a position they were talking about amplitude / phase uncertainty trade offs.
I find it mildly fascinating, because the parent's argument boils down to: it is more work. As other have already pointed out, airlines may not be the role model for this. More to the point, it likely is better to have actual individual identifiers assuming identification is the actual goal.

I have a Scottish last name starting with "Mc" like "McTavish". Just getting people/companies to capitalise the third letter is an uphill battle some days.

(Oh, and forget about having it sorted next to MacTavish as is tradition.)
I guess Polish people had it worse than Romanians and Hungarians. All our accents are simple to strip away and they still kinda sound like the base letter.

But I agree with you: I don't trust translations and I think the benefits from humans using a single language would be amazing.
"The Judas goat is usually sterilized, outfitted with a transmitter, painted in red and then released." In humans there are evolved, instinctual mamalian brains that still act, react, and decide under some influence of amygdala hijack. Men and women, Men and children. Lone wolf men are still scary, and others are weary.
And people would share drive or whatever it takes to make up for that.
> I live in a place where public transport already has last mile connectivity and I walk the rest of the way. Never owned a car and never plan to.

Is this place completely car free? Because otherwise, replacing the remaining cars with self-driving cars would have significant benefits:

* Less space needed for parking.

* Pedestrians and cyclists can move safely because cars follow the traffic rules.

* Less cost for police, first responders and medical care because of fewer traffic accidents.

If my city replaced all human-driven cars with self-driving cars today, I would actually cycle and walk more. Because I would feel safer to do so.

And I am surely not the only one.

Dunno where you are, but trains suck arse here in the UK. Its half the price to fly to Edinburgh than to take a train and my wife recently took a stressful (delays and cancellations and missed connections) two and a half hour train ride that would have taken an hour.

Why should they be obligated to allow Gazans to participate in normal life in Israel? They're de-facto two separate countries. Why isn't Egypt getting the same criticism? They could do the same, but they don't. And there are many other Arab nations in the region that, while not directly bordering Gaza, could help out if they wanted. Iran does (though not Arab), but they provide them with weapons.

Before the attack, Israel was issuing work permits to Gazans to let them work and earn badly-needed money in Israel; so much for that.

I can see why Israel doesn't want Gazans participating in normal life there: they keep shooting rockets at them. And after the latest atrocity, they'll probably never entertain the idea of good relations with them.

Is Korea an "apartheid state" because North and South Korea refuse to let each other's citizens "participate in normal life" on the other side of the DMZ?

>Israel is not at all innocent in the FUBAR that is the middle east and Gaza in particular

It seems like the reverse to me: their actions in the West Bank continue to be wrong and cause problems (illegal settlements). But I don't see how they've done anything wrong in Gaza in 17 years: they simply don't want that group of people in their country, and they have that right.

Also, why is it that people like you never criticize Egypt for not taking in the Gazans? There's really nothing stopping Egypt from annexing Gaza.
It seems doubtful they’d win in cassation as the GDPR does literally say that personal data shall be accurate (article 5 1.d) and that personal data subjects have a right of rectification (article 14).

Their only possible argument would be that fixing their shit is not a “reasonable step”.

I’m not sure that even falls under the purview of the cour de cassation, but IANAL so I’m not quite clear on what a “matter of law” is exactly.
A reasonable mental model is to view LIGO as a (weird) telescope.
