If so, may I wonder if your drop rule 2 and insist on having for most vector u there exist a v so that u*v = 1. As an icing let us say having a 0 vector. That could be something.
Interesting that Telegram only blocks channels that embarrass the Russian government.
AI can become a highly autonomous system that's separate from us. Current technological limits make it currently a hard sell.

LLMs, viewed as general purpose simulators/predictors, don't necessarily have any agency or goals by themselves. There is nothing to say that they cannot be made to simulate an agent with its own goals, by humans - and possibly either by malice or by mistake. Model capabilities are the limiting factor right now, but with the rise of more capable uncensored models, it isn't difficult to imagine a model attaining some degree of autonomy, or at least doing a lot of damage before imploding in on itself.
Some people have tiny hands. Kids, for example, have tiny hands. It looks similar to a Switch controller. Not something you can go all day on, but good enough for a few rounds of Mario Kart.
Interesting. This work was done at ITP (which is short for interactive theorem proving, but not here). The ITP has been founded by Red Burns, who has written a foreword (really a foreword interview) for John Maeda's "Creative Code". And I am currently looking at Maeda's work, after recently discovering his book "Design By Numbers", which is just fabulous (and looks great on a coffee table, although I don't have one). And as it happens, I plan to implement a version of Design By Numbers in Abstraction Logic. And in order to make it easy for users to write down Abstraction Logic terms, I have invented a new simple text format called Recursive Text [0]! Which closes the circle to RecursiveDrawing.com.

[0] More info about Recursive Text (RX) will be available next month at http://recursivetext.com . Its semantics is really simple:

RX = Block+
Block = Line (Line | Block)*
Line = Character*

RX is saved as a text file, encoding above semantics via indentation. It can be edited as a normal text file, but is intended to be edited in a special editor that respects and exploits above semantics.
I sure hope they don't use my DNA to catch any criminals. I hope they roam around undetected as before, I would never harbor any bad feelings towards any members of my family regardless of their rape, murder or other crimes. You don't want them in prison either, and wouldn't believe they did anything wrong regardless of the DNA and OTHER substantial evidence would you?

so let me tie this with a controversial topic - gun control.

If people agree that gun control would reduce the harm from guns, wouldn't this same logic apply to AI? Is it different?
In 1950, India had a GDP per capita of $597. China was only a little higher at $614. Pakistan was at $650. Taiwan and South Korea were $922 and $876--significantly less than twice as much. Fast forward to 2023, India has increased by less than 5x, and is at $2,600. China has grown 20x, and is at $12,000. South Korea has grown 40x and is at $35,000. Taiwan grew 35x and is at $34,700.

The defense of Nehruvian economics--against all evidence and experience--would be funny if the consequences weren't so deadly. It, and the neighboring ideologies of Islamic Socialism in Pakistan and Bangladesh, left those countries far behind Asian competitors that didn't have that much of a head start at the time of independence. Pointing to the least bad implementation of that tragic idea isn't impressive to me.
This, nepotism is rife in private American companies of all kinds from my own experiences and others.

O God, there's at least one company, I personally have experience with that not only is a nepotistic hellhole, but is actively defrauding the government and a few big names. The result of spoiled brats getting control of a very niche private hardware engineering company after their father died.
And a private entity should have zero say or lever over this.

Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, etc. should have no right to censor public discourse.
"Sociopathic" is not just another word for "selfish".
I've always thought of this as the best example of deferred execution. It's surprising how often businesses get it wrong. I think the problem is most "good" workers are over eager to demonstrate value. They do that by over engineering and that leads to hell etc...
The fact that some culture becomes better at hiding it usually means that it's less accepted by the society, hence hiding it is more important.
Of course it's a failure, but the context was whether all transactions are equally important from a user point of view, not the business point of view.

If a financial company fucks up and loses me $20 because of it, it could mean I never use that company again (because how can I trust them not to fuck up for more money next time, if they don't fix this time?) but it doesn't make me feel that the $20 lost is important.

Miguel Bezos (Jeff Bezos's father) was a refugee from Cuba. Miguel came to the USA empty handed, got a scholarship to university, worked at Exxon for 32 years, invested in his son's (jeff bezos's) startup and became a billionaire because of that investment.
I get tons of messages from otherwise reputable companies (household names) that have no "unsubscribe" options because they consider the messages required for active account holders (and I'm not ready to close my account) but the messages certainly aren't triggered by a transaction that I'm party to. For example, banks will periodically inform me about how I should stay vigilant to avoid fraud, and all sorts of similar concepts. Any thoughts on whether this type of stuff violates CAN SPAM?
If someone gets forwarded the email and they take action based on another person, or erroneously get unsubscribed by an email scanning tool, those are no-no events according to our lawyers.

IMO there's a place in the world for easy, low-cost niche services that save you time.

I use things like remove.bg (a background remover) or VectorMagic (for raster vectorization) frequently, even though I have decades of experience in Adobe. Sometimes it's just easier/good enough to go through a dedicated tool that repackages some common workflow into a simpler wizard rather than have to DIY everything.

I tried to set up my own stable diffusion workflow the other day, using the ready-built GUI app Draw Things. Several hours of work and many gigabytes later, I managed to create several iterations of low-quality images that reminded me of early AI a few years ago. None of it approached the ease of use or output quality of, say, Midjourney, much less the state of the art these days (whatever it may be).

Maybe I could've tinkered with it for a few more days/weeks, but why? It's just an occasional toy hobby use for me, not something I want to get a degree in just to understand.

My main gripe with these services is their pricing model. I don't want to subscribe to something I might only use a few times a year. Wish I could just plop down like $10-$20 for a bucket of tokens that I can use-as-I-go. But that's not very sustainable for their business, I guess.

On paper they are similar. However, when it comes to recsys competence, TikTok blows other platforms - past or present - out of the water. TikTok's feed is algorithmic crack, and is shockingly quick to figure out users tastes. Instagram and YouTube had to scramble to copy ByteDance's innovation.

Power accessible by few in private contexts is ripe for hidden abuses. We have seen this time and time again. I would rather 1 billion people trying to work with AI to "change" the world than a group of elites without many to care for. The technology can be used for defense as well as it can be used for offense. Who says the people with unsafeguarded access have the best intentions? At least with equal access for all, we can be sure there are people using it with good intentions.
The billion dollar question: do we think SEC filing disclosures are about to get a bit more interesting to read? Or is the standard boiler plate "we might get hacked, our controls may not be sufficient" going to remain?
OS's have limits on when you can do some stuff - for example allocating/deleting stuff in an interrupt handler (and the associated code that interacts with it) - mostly you code around this by just not doing it if you possibly can - but C++ might be doing this behind your back. And when you do need to do it you will likely use a special allocator and associated heap that knows how to interact safely with ISRs - just doing a 'new' without being able to say "where" and "how" is a problem. And then you have to be able to delete/free it the correct way too.

Essentially it means that an important chunk of the language and standard library are off limits in an important part of an OS, and lots of evil bugs are available to people new to the game who just blindly new stuff (or let the compiler do it behind their back)
To my knowledge, they have been a safe haven for anti-Russian (and pro-Russian) sentiments ever since I remember during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

That's a big part of immersion learning techniques, which even go as far as having you pick a "parent" to binge watch as you will naturally imitate their accent and cadence.

That's the theory there too, if you wamt to speak like a native, let your brain bathe in native speaking and it will be absorbing all the nuance that won't be in textbooks or classrooms.
Sure, but that's not the part that matters. The innovative part is the recommendation algorithm that redefined what it means to "optimize for engagement".

I mean, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram are trying to hook you up on a dopamine drip so they can force-feed you some ads. TikTok is just pure crack that caught the world by surprise - and it's not even pushing you ads! Honestly, to this day I'm not sure what their business model is.

You’re right if global cultures includes all cultures - even US. It’s how businesses and governments work worldwide unfortunately. The USA just (and has) had multiple presidents who were nepotistic.
Came here to say Schwab as well. Caught me very pleasantly by surprise. It's easy to get a human on the phone, they are always very knowledgeable and get me answers fast.

This is a heavy lift, and a commendable effort. I doubt it will work because the "problem" here lies beyond the reach of deliberate solutions, but good on you for trying.

Anyways, I think you need some kind of ELI5 or walk-through example of a toy addition or suggestion on a fake topic. I tried to find nuts and bolts about how suggestions were vetted, etc, and what I saw on the site seemed a bit hand-wavy.

Now you are into ad hominems. You are completely lost. You can't acknowledge the topic nor the point of concentration in currency, which was 80% percent of my entire point. You are shadowboxing and really have that strawman on the ropes.

Nice job distracting from the OP even about concentration and early owners of Bitcoin.

> Bitcoin's encryption is elliptical curve.

Did you just learn this? The point is processing power at quantum level already starts to threaten some of the encryption methods and early keys are definitely at risk over time. Additionally there is motive to find holes in early tools that someone could unlock all that lost bitcoin... over time.

Did you ignore everything like this?

"AES-128 and RSA-2048 both provide adequate security against classical attacks, but not against quantum attacks. Doubling the AES key length to 256 results in an acceptable 128 bits of security, while increasing the RSA key by more than a factor of 7.5 has little effect against quantum attacks."

Since you are so singular focused, combative, and black and white on this. Since you don't adhere to future probabilities over time and unknowns, you seem like you fully think today's encryption will never be broken by advancements in decades or longer, as cryptographers fear could happen which I just shared with you, even programs at NIST regarding research on this.

Let's get you on record...

Do you think encryption methods today will hold up over time 100%?

Do you think early bitcoin keys from 2008 will never be broken (disregarding tools and being found which is more likely)?

See if you can contain yourself to what topic you wanted to talk about and double down on your take, answer the questions.

That wasn't even the point but let's get this for future generations to giggle at.
"chatgpt"

Ahh... the thing that makes up stuff and is increasingly... censored?

Hard pass.

I'll take my own thoughts and not AI limited by fear.

"OpenAI also started responding to user backlash and regulatory pressure by censoring harmful ChatGPT responses, which may have led some users to abandon the tool, possibly viewing it as less useful, less trustworthy, or simply less fun."

Let me know when I can talk to a human again. I'm not here to talk to NPCs hiding behind Censored AI.

pre-post edit: noticed your edit.

"To believe his claim that he's a good dictator."

I trust Elon as a "good dictator" when compared to alternatives. (IE: Media working with the FBI to censor stories and influence elections by hiding truth)

Don't talk about the "robust mechanism to protect free speech" without being willing to talk about all the alternative to "Elon"... the US government? Other tech companies? Media? Who have all been proven to be willing to lie to keep a narrative?

Even if he has his flaws? (hint: he has many) The fact that he's not beholden to the US Government or other entities is in itself a step that we needed to break the silence about all the "conspiracy theories" that keep ended up being true.

Elon is faaaaaaar from perfect. He sure as shit isn't the one walking on water.... but he's waaaaaaay more trustworthy than most of the alternatives out there.
> More often than not, the choice between Microservices and Monoliths is more of a business decision than a technical one to make.

I think that, technically you can use one or the other and make it work.
However management is very different in the two cases, so I completely agree with you. I hadn't thought of the part about moving people between teams.

It's my first job but I understand why they chose microservices : 6 teams working on 6 "features/apps" can be managed (almost) fully independently of each other if you split your code base.
Do you have a credible source for this claim?
That also makes no sense to me.

It's like saying you need general recommendations for sun exposure before you can research specific recommendations based on skin type/ethnicities.

It's nonsense. Pale-skinned Caucasions need different recommendations from other ethnic groups with more baseline melanin.
For me it's more along the lines of "am I the best person here for this?" and "does anyone else have information I don't?"

If you read the research for the bystander effect it's mostly about putting a bunch of people in front of a crisis and seeing how long it takes them to respond. When (minor) crises have happened in front of me, I feel a sense of rising pressure to do something as time passes. When I'm in a position of above baseline expertise (fire marshal in front of a fire, guy with first aid certificate near a probable concussion) it rises faster; when someone else takes charge the pressure goes away. On this basis I think part of the bystander effect happens because something like an informal leader election is taking place.

No, even though the effect is largely the same, because the issue isn’t that the Senator isn’t reading the letters; I’d imagine that would be the case (that’s why you send it weekly, Shawshank Redemption-style. It’s about sending a message… Literally… lol)

But in all seriousness, the issue to me is the ban on what communications may pass through to an elected official. If communications don’t reach them, that’s one thing (can’t expect every Tweet, letter, or phone call to be personally replied to, of course), but I don’t think politicians, police departments, or other places should be able to block U.S. citizens from viewing their own official communications through public channels, or attempting to contact their elected officials through those same public channels. I feel like that sets a bad precedent that I’d worry could be exploited by potential bad actors.
Yeah they have no incentive to do that and actually have incentive to fake activity
As a product manager, one of your biggest responsibilities is understanding your users and iterating your product to meet their needs. However, taking this too far can lead your product into something called the product death cycle.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explain what the product death cycle is, why it happens, and most importantly - how you can avoid it as a PM to create a product with happy users that continues to grow.

What is the Product Death Cycle?

The product death cycle refers to the situation where a product development team focuses too heavily on customer feedback rather than having a strong product vision.

This leads to a vicious cycle where:

The product launches but no one uses it initially

The team asks customers what features are missing

They build those features based on feedback

Still, no one uses the product much

So they ask for more feedback and build more features

...And the cycle continues until time or money runs out, leading to the “death” of the product because it never gained traction.

This often happens because the team thinks they are doing the right thing - listening to customers and giving them what they ask for. But good intentions here can lead to disaster.

Share

Why Does This Happen?
There are a few key reasons why PMs and product teams get stuck in this death cycle:

1. Lack of Strong Product Vision
Having a clear, focused product vision is key. As Jeff Bezos says, you need to be stubborn on the vision but flexible on the details.

Without that North Star, it’s easy to get blown off course by every gust of customer feedback. Then you end up with a muddled product trying to be everything to everyone vs. a focused product that delights your core users

.

2. Assuming More Features = More Users
It's a common mistake to think that simply adding more and more features requested by customers will suddenly get tons of people to use your product.

The root problem could be bad positioning, poor messaging, a confusing onboarding flow, bad marketing, poor pricing, or many other issues. Features alone won’t solve those problems.

3. Customers Can't Design Solutions
Customers are great at identifying problems in your product but they rarely can propose effective solutions on their own. That’s your job as a product manager.

Just asking customers what features they want and building them often leads to a hodgepodge product with no coherent vision.
Yes have seen this is in a couple of my SaaS applications.

If it's in the querystring then they essentially fuzz it by changing some part(s) of the value. I noticed this because I use signed tokens and it raised an exception in Sentry when the signed token was invalid.

I ended up moving the signed token into the URL itself and the problem went away. eg. /unsubscribe/abcd1234/
Problem is, you have to have a native speaker hear you say the words (in a sentence as well as standalone), and give you a feedback. Repeatedly, until you get it "right" (to the extent possible). Otherwise you won't get anywhere - unless you are an 8 year old kid, maybe.
You could imagine they started their post with "Yes, it's a pretty common problem here's what we did ..." and then it makes sense.
Unless you are in my city, where it is Frome like home. It's probable the whole city is wrong, since the namesake is British, but no one will recognize a Froom street.
