You see this a bit with hand tool woodworking. Some people will restore old tools (hand planes are a popular choice) and sell them on, some will keep then and claim they will use them some day, and others give up on making things and just collect the tools.

All of the above is fine, learning the history of and techniques in restoring things is cool.
This is so far from reality it's not even funny.

I mean its only common enough that the headline grabbing feature of the markets undisputed largest GPU vendor is a feature literally designed to reduce its impact as a bottleneck.
Well, you're just in time for the rental car companies. Hertz was releasing their quarterly results yesterday, and they sounded pretty negative on Tesla (they signed up for 100k Teslas last year - was a pretty huge deal):

"The rental car company cited Tesla’s price cuts negatively impacting the resale value of its EVs, and higher than expected repair costs for EVs as a reason to slow its pace of electrification."

"Hertz now has 35,000 Tesla vehicles and around 50,000 electric vehicles in its fleet -- far shy of the 100,000 Teslas that Hertz originally said it was ordering and expected by the end of 2022."
> I don't think it's very reasonable to think "AI" is more of an existential threat than global warming and nuclear weapons. In fact I'd say that's a ridiculous claim.

AI x-risk is effectively a superset of global warming, nuclear war, engineering bioweapons, grey goo scenario, lethal geoengineering, and pretty much anything else that isn't just Earth winning the cosmic extinction lottery (asteroids, gamma ray bursts, a supernova within couple dozen LY from us, etc.). That's because all those X-risks are caused by humanity using intelligence to create tools that endanger its own survival. A powerful enough[0] general AI will have all those same tools at its disposal, and might even invent some new ones[1].

As for chances of this happening any time soon, I always found the argument persuasive for the time frames of "eventually, maybe a 100 years from now". GPT-4 made me revise it down to "impending; definitely earlier than climate change would get us", because of the failure mode I mentioned in footnote [0], but also because of how the community reacted to it: "oh, this thing almost looks intelligent; quick, let's loop it on itself to maybe get it a bit smarter, give it long-term memory, and give it unrestricted Internet access plus an ability to run arbitrary code on network-connected VMs". So much arguing over the years as to whether you can or can't box up a dangerous AI - only to now learn that we won't even try.

[0] - Which doesn't necessarily mean superhuman intelligence. Might be dumb as a proverbial bag of bricks, but able to trick people some of the times (a standard already met by ChatGPT), and to think and act much faster than humans can think and coordinate (a standard met by software long ago). Intentionally or accidentally tricking humans into extincting themselves is in the scope of this x-risk, too. But the smarter it gets, the more danger potential it has.

[1] - AI models are already being employed to augment all kinds of research, and there's a huge demand for improving the models so they can aid research even better.
Yeah, I feel the same. On my Node projects I even removed Prettier to keep only ESLint, but seems like that won't last very long.
Frankly, I'm not even sure details matter that much, really. What actually happened was smaller acts of aggression that escalated step by step. It was totally uncontrollable. There was a huge amount of hatred on all sides. And nobody had any idea how to stop it. For everybody outside it was completely senseless killing, there was no real reason for it. The UN mission was a total failure.

Then NATO came with the idea of bombing but they were afraid to fly too low so apart from bombing the military they also bombed civilians. Many people in Serbia remember this and Putin loves to remind everybody of that. When you dig into it you only discover ugly things.
So this is just moving goal posts IMO. End of day it's harder to go from the poorest to the richest. Speaking as someone that was born below the poverty line and but later was earning in the top 1% in the USA, going from sub 14k to 36k was gigantically huge...going from 50k to 250k in as short of a span didnt affect me very much, but moving to France and not worrying about medical bills or insurance companies again was a game changer ... YMMV and everyone is different

> The thing I have most of is certainly cables and tech widgets of various descriptions, but I don't try to collect them

That makes me think that someone who is a hobby cable collector must have the easiest time of it!

People do collect all sort of non-expensive things (pebbles, seashells, ...) so it feels like just a coincidence that collecting pens means also collecting a lot of tools that will never be used.
I am the other way. I like others to make good frameworks and I like building the customer facing thing.
What door? How did they know your address? I don't enter my address when flying. Maybe my miles card has it, but that feels far removed from the baggage handler's computers.

Since this is an article on regulation that increases competition in the market and it is your opinion that it is favoring the big players than what you are saying is that competitive markets favor big players. Will we now be receiving a quarterly reminder that competition favors the big players?
> The incumbent companies have no idea what to do at the most basic level of human needs when it comes to EV charging stations.

That's clearly false.

Rust has todo!() and clippy has a lint you can configure.
Having written a 2-d curve renderer, what I want is parallel compute and high bandwidth; gpus deliver. (Especially with newer interfaces that support scatter-write; not sure how much penetration these have in the browser yet.) It's true this is not what you want at a higher level, but it serves as a fine base to implement higher-level abstractions. You could support them in hardware, but it's not at all obvious what the advantages would be; no one complains that cpus don't have architectural support for for-loops.

Edit: upon a reread, I don't really understand what your problem is with gpus. You can ignore the vertex processing pipeline entirely, drawing just a single fullscreen quad (or use a compute shader); the gpu will handle this with aplomb, and this is the sort of thing the linked article is talking about too.
The "general" and "intelligence" terms are really badly defined in ways that can include GPT-3.

So far as I can tell, 3.5 "knows" more than I do about everything except software engineering, maths, and events that happened after it stopped learning (and also possibly how to avoid clichés when writing short stories, but that might just be me not prompting it well as I don't really want it to do my hobby for me and therefore don't try to get it good).

Even in software, it codes like a university student, or like someone doing interview questions, not a complete idiot.

You could also argue that as it had to do the subjective equivalent of non-stop reading for 50,000 years to get this good, it's "skilled" without being "intelligent" — a distinction that matters in some cases and not others.
Germany's postal service is launching a NFT with an AI generated Brandenburger Tor. You can buy it for €9.90, and you get a real post stamp with the AI generated Brandenburger Tor which is worth €1.60 and a NFT that proves that you bought it. It's limited to 250,000 pieces.

I don't really know what to think about this...
It did not occur at the source of event, because at source gravitational waves and light waves were probably pretty close together, so "not simultaneous arriving of light and grav waves" is an event which was observed as happening on Earth in 2017.

Maybe, maybe not. Spectre-type attacks (of which this is one) rely on a shared address space (in other words: the same process). Meltdown can cross address spaces but the authors do not know of any such attacks on modern Apple processors.

I don't get why it has to be a keyword. It can be a function with return type bottom.

In Rust it's a macro, but not for type checking. The reason is only that it can take an optional format string, and arguments, and functions can't have optional/vararg parameters (and also, format strings are statically compiled), a more dynamic language wouldn't have that problem.
The cache on Apple's processors are fairly standard (but implemented well)
True, but the problem is not the collecting. It's that people want to 'succeed' at some hobby, and are blaming the lack of gear for not achieving some particular goal or level of success (however they define it).

To re-imagine the situation, they would have to give up the original goal of the hobby.
Impeccable timing, I was just about to try and get into shaders. Thank you so much for writing this, I will be reading it on the weekend.
This kind of nonsense doesn't play well in Europe. Nor should it.

Welcome to Europe, Elon.
I mean we didn't, just look at the red tops reporting on court cases, or indeed entrapping non-famous people in "sex stings"

However, I do understand your point, and empathise deeply.

> Do you prefer desperate people have fewer options?

Yes.

For an individual poor person, one could argue that the individual would be better off if they were allowed to sell their internal organs. But this isn't just about individuals, this is about societies. A society which pushes poor people towards selling their organs to survive is worse than a society which doesn't do that, in my opinion.

I feel like one equivalent of problematic hoarding in software is adding feature after feature by stacking complex dependencies until nobody can maintain it without tripping over the jenga piles.
While cool, learning to pack light can also do wonders. I'm not suggesting to onebag a 50L backpack, but to just travel with a wheeled suitcase carry-on and a day-bag that slides onto the handles.

Low Cost Carriers (LCC) sometimes weigh your carry-on bags, and I was so proud of the day that happened to me. My suitcase + laptop bag weighed in at exactly 7.0 KG, and the check-in agent kinda looked at it in shock.

While American Immigration & Customs is a breeze thanks to Global Entry, other countries can have long immigration lines (and elite status may not help you there), which is when I see people carrying their backpack for an hour or having to slide it across the immigration hall for an hour. The wheeled suitcase carry on saves your back while still being able to store plenty. Don't get a hardshell, get a fabric based suitcase as that will be lighter. I also often travel with airlines that I have elite status with, which affords me either less scrutiny or extra carry-on weight allowance.

Just need to plan when to book a suite that has a laundry machine, a hotel that has self-serve laundry, or a long stay where you can send your clothes to be cleaned overnight.

> And sure, it sucks to be the one rejected by an effectively automated process[0], but it's better for everyone than not having any process at all.

You could have a much lighter weight process, that leaves more of the decision making powers with individuals and families. That would be cheaper and overall suck less.
OMG, it's even worse than Dropbox, who absolutely ruined their website for me with the last redesign with an insanely ugly font that looks squished in all the wrong ways.

I was going to mention this as a non US resident.

The Disney travel agent told me to print these labels out in Australia and just attach them to the luggage. Then we just had to hop on a bus when we landed in Florida.

Shame they don't do this anymore by the sounds of it. I was completely sceptical of the whole Disney experience but it all went so smoothly.

What is your evidence for this claim?
From what I have heard a Kosovo-Albania union has a sort of cheery superficial support among Albanians, completely unbacked by any serious desire or ambition, on either side.

How would power be shared in such a constellation? It's not self-evident.
personal anecdote: used dialogflow (when it got rebranded from api.ai after getting acquired by Google) to create a chatbot in 2018.

funny to track how it got placed inside Google's AI offerings since. i may have missed a few, but it got moved inside their GCP suite of offerings, and now lost somewhere in Vertex GenAI offerings probably.

advancements happen and i understand that. but when your entire platform to achieve x changes drastically within a span of a couple years, how can we consider creating stable systems like of the past with XaaS model?
No, you misunderstood. Perhaps I stated it poorly.

My statement is that every interaction with local government in the US generates a public record. This is true even when email is not involved. For example, let’s say that you have purchased a property. The deed is registered with a county government. The tax assessor decides how much property tax you will owe. They record whether you have actually paid that tax or not. All of these records are public information, and there is very little concession to privacy. In the US, there is no expectation of privacy around these records. Anyone in the US can look up these records for any property at all, and your name is there for all to see. The amount you paid for the property is there for all to see, and so on. Your phone number and email address would be there too, except for the fact that they don’t collect or store that information. They don’t need too, because they always do business with you by mail. These days you can also use their website to pay your property tax, or to look up information about a property you are interested in, but that is ancillary.

The same holds true for almost all other ways that you might interact with the government. Building permits and inspections are public records. Arrest warrants are open. Trial records. Water bills are public records, if the water is provided by a utility owned and operated by the government (varies from place to place). Drivers licensing is almost entirely open. Vehicle registration. Bids on providing goods and services to the government are only sealed for a short time; once the winning bidder is selected all of them become public records. All of this is business as usual in the US.

Finally, all of the official communications of government employees and elected officials, whether internal to a government department or not, are public records. That means that if you talk to a mayor, whether by phone or by email or by written letter, and the mayor is acting in an official capacity, then the entirety of your communication is a public record. That includes the type of communication, how it was delivered, your phone number, your email address, etc. All of it is to be recorded and made available to the public upon request.

Of course public records may contain information that is not public. When a member of the public requests a public record, such non–public information should be redacted from the copy that they receive. That includes things like credit card numbers and social–security numbers, but not necessarily phone numbers or email addresses. Especially not the phone numbers or email addresses of the parties to the communication. Maybe it’s different where you’re from, but here those are important parts of the public record. If you want to talk to the mayor but don’t want your email address to become part of the public record, then don’t talk to the mayor via email! Write a letter instead.

Know someone who fled Bosnia during 90s to Germany. No more Yugoslavia so this person had a Bosnian passport in Germany. He had a kid in Germany, so his kid had a German passport. His parents fled to Serbia, his dad had a Serbian passport and mum - because of her 'nationality' - Croatian passport. Four members of the same family, same surname, four passports. Made for some interesting border crossings when they travelled together.
So, basically, a government controlled Pi-Hole / uBlock Origin project.

I'm confused, did I miss something?

Is this not just another way for the government to get a tighter grip on censorship, I.e. to control what the people have the ability to see, or to see only what the government provide? Seems like another pathway to those 1984 shenanigans.

Is the next step to impose MITM proxies that manipulate everything see in realtime.
I wouldn't go so far as saying it give me "heebie-jeebies," but I also don't see the point in collecting mass market consumer items that are not and have never been rare. Probably the closest I come to ever wanting to do so is that I have a real appreciation for old computer systems. Once, I even got it in my head that I could theoretically own and run a working PDP-11. Fortunately/unfortunately, I've never had the space to properly store, much less display a collection of obsolete home computers, and I don't even want to think about the power and space requirements to actually operate a working PDP-11

So, yeah, I truly do not understand collecting Beanie Babies, Funko Pops, or fountain pens. But, I do collect coins. I find them interesting on multiple levels. I can't think of too many other hobbies that give one a good excuse to study history, economics, art, metallurgy, and more. So many things that happen involving humans and human societies also involve money and commerce. Going back to the rarity aspect, I own quite a few coins that are anywhere from quite scarce to truly rare. It also really helps that they don't take up a ton of space, either.

I don't see anything particularly maladaptive about it, except that it's a hobby that can take up arbitrarily much time and money. But, that's actually one thing I like about it: I could definitely have fun collecting coins on less than a $100/month budget, even though I actually spend quite a bit more than that on it. The acquisition process is fun as well. I like going to coin shops and coin shows. Buying online or at auction is slightly less fun, but it gives me a greater opportunity to find what I'm really looking for. When dealing with things that are, as I said, fairly scarce, the hunt itself becomes part of the enjoyment.

It probably depends on the reference point. If I now use 4 words (2*2 rhyming words) instead of passphrases with 2 words, then the password is more secure than before (even if the attacker knows for sure that I use a rhyming password).
Besides, there is the rhyme scheme, which is not necessarily known to the attacker.

The idea is fun. I'm just not sure it helps much in practice. If I can't remember the exact words, the rhyme makes me only marginally less lost than without it.
I see your numbers and obviously I can't dispute them, coming from NOAA itself. But then I look at the measurements of actual CO2 level in the atmosphere at the same station which NOAA uses for those YOY calculations, and they don't match up, or at least I don't know how (most likely:) ). When I look at the graph of CO2 levels I see that if we plot the line across max peaks of 2021 and 2022 then peak 2023 measurement is higher (so the acceleration is positive). Same with min levels for the same years. If all measurements are higher in 2023, then how YOY can be lower? I don't get it.
I'll try to research more this topic.

There are multiple definitions. The most basic (and common) is k-anonymity [1]. Basically, for a given collection of data you group by all variables that are already non-anonymous (like age, address, gender, occupation) and end up with groups of fewer than k people (where k=5 is common), any other data items in the data set linked to the same individual also become non-anonymous (PII).

Even if you have groups of size greater than k, though, information elements may be non-anonymous if there is not enough diversity in the group. For instance, if every 49-year-old male on a given postal code in a given occupation has a certain religion, then religion is non-anonymous for that group, according to l-diversity [2].

This can be narrowed down even more by t-closeness [3].

I think they need to get Threads out to the EU before Bluesky opens up to the public since Bluesky is so similar to Twitter of yore that it'll definitely be attractive to European Twitter users. Not sure what the timeline for Bluesky opening up is though. Last I heard, they needed to make architectural changes to allow scaling before they could get rid of the invites, and the ETA for those were end of this year.
A 3D printing hobby is basically GAS/GFS-as-a-hobby. You buy the cheapest printer, then print better parts for it, then you buy a second printer to print faster and with more quality, then you go on an ebay spree and buy a VORON kit to make your own, then you build a "mostly-printed CNC", lathe, plotter, laser cutter, and then you run out of room in your garage and start looking for a bigger house.

It's a huge money drain, but fun even if it doesn't ultimately get you anywhere ;)
