It's definitely an interesting point. Fraud increases ad spend, and ultimately translates to revenue for tech companies (as you mentioned).

I would say it is "lost" in the sense that advertisers (like a local electrician) spend money on these platforms hoping to get business, but a portion of it will never lead to business because it's bad traffic. The issue is the portion should be smaller (at least in my mind).
Metaphysics is just another non Newtonian set of physics
Looks more like 4 s/iter which is actually quite good for CPU inference in Automatic111. It is an apples-to-oranges comparison to the LCM models used by fastsdcpu (since those can get away with fewer sampling steps) or to the quantized models favored by apple (since they use totally different underlying compute capabilities). Currently automatic111 and other popular GUIs are pretty focused on users with beefy GPUs that can sample images in seconds, so they haven't yet implemented some of these really significant CPU-friendly speedups. But we'll get there!
It's Facebook. What do you expect?
Free will is any random process with an asymptotically infinite number of degrees of freedom, by definition.

Are humans such a process?

Who knows, but attempts to model individual humans have certainly failed before. (We need lots of humans in aggregate to successfully model them, once the central limit theorem starts working.)
You can't do it with a base model M chip. Not supported on Mac unless you go with displaylink and displaylink has weird issues on mac like no hdcp support and screen recording enabled that make it a really bad experience compared to mac.
Oh people nowadays and their bs.
> The issue has to do with layering caches over each other.

I think this is mostly incorrect. In my understanding, the Linux page cache is mostly skipped. The problem, such as there is a problem, is occasionally duplicated data. My understanding is this data is only mmap files and perhaps the dentry and inode cache?
This. When I turned eighteen my grandparents took me on an autumn driving tour of New England to visit the haunts of my favorite writers, get a real lobster roll, etc. It was so nice to see the coziness and warmth- charm was the right word for it.

Apple does not compete on checkboxes. If they deemed is necessary to remove, there’s a reason. Not saying I agree, just that’s how they operate. If there isn’t a need to support 3 displays then they won’t, regardless if the “competition” did it years prior.
Intervention by a drunk to stop the fight of more-drunks is part of standard bar protocol, plus inhibitions are lower thanks to alcohol

Doubtful it represents most real bystander situations where you actually need to make a choice, like situations in daily life where you are busy going about your business (rather than being in a bar literally for this sort of fun), or low key stuff like bullying, harassment, etc etc.
Grist is a modern, relational spreadsheet
There are so many articles these days posted on HN like this recently but I'm realizing I am too far out of touch with the technology to be able to appreciate it.

Any recommendations as to how I get a bit of hands on experience in the AI "domain" so when I read some news articles like this it means something more to me? Or is this type of thing really only relevant to a very small subset of software people?
I think, related, is the hope that switching to a new framework will somehow solve everything annoying about the old stack, and let you undo past mistakes. In reality, though, if you're lucky enough not to end up supporting two stacks at once for a long time, you end up making lots of new mistakes again.
It's not a crime when the authorities do it, sadly. I've seen plenty of anecdotes here and elsewhere of people being detained without access to legal representation and without even being informed of what they've supposedly done wrong.

Is a 1,599 laptop a low-end laptop? An M3 Macbook Pro 14" that costs $1,599 can only drive a single external monitor according to the spec. A $1,000 Dell XPS 13 can drive 4 monitors via a single Thunderbolt 4 Dock that also charges the laptop!

Honestly, I'm an accountant and everyone in my office uses 2-3 monitors with $1,200 business ultrabook.
> Now I can tell instantly if code is over-engineered. Unfortunately It seems like maybe 99% of code is over-engineered

Regardless of the learnings you had having merit, you don't see a problem with the mental model you've developed, if it's output is giving the same answer 99% of the time?

In itself it doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong, but since you're assessing the quality of other people's work I'd assume you have a heavy bias in there.

When I cycled from Los Angeles to the Mexican border last year, I was surprised by 1) how few McDonalds there seemed to be compared to other chains (McDs used to be omnipresent, at least in other parts of the USA), and 2) how expensive food at any of the fast food chains around was: KFC, Carl’s Jr, etc. was inevitably over $12 for a basic meal. Even rudimentary Mexican fast-food places felt like they were getting pricey. So, that San Francisco deal on nuggets that you describe is amazing, but I wonder how many Californians can actually take advantage of it where they are.

It can be. But isn't it a question of balance?

If you play some useless¹ game for the majority of your days, you can have multiple reasons for this. Maybe it keeps you occupied and thinking of the problems in your life? But after a certain degree it certainly does not "entertain" you anymore: You are doing it because doing anything else that you can think of feels worse. And a few years after not a lot will be left of it, unless you played with your friends or there was something in it for you beyond just pushing the time forward.

If I am playing my instrument for hours, I have at least improved at expressing my feelings with my instrument while having a generally good and relaxing time. And after years of doing it I can do it well enough to play on concerts without feeling afraid.

I know to many people who are so afraid of their own thoughts, they will obsessively "entertain" themselves dueinf all wake hours, and the majority of the time they are not enjoying it. This is bad. We only have one life. You don't get a price for having some the most, but at least do something that is meaningful.

Same, the M2 MBA is all the power I need and I vastly prefer the smaller size, but the monitor issue is killer.

I finally bit the bullet and bought a DisplayLink dock, which gets the job done, but just seems like a silly compromise when the Intel MBA could support 2 external monitors natively.

In essence, the best you can do is have an authorization dance that results in a short lived authentication token.

Or you could use some obfuscation like symmetrically encrypting the key, but clients will see the encryption key too (and in the inspector when Maps API is hit).

Or you could have a server side proxy, but that proxy will be publicly available too.

As frontend code works on the client, there is no real way to hide the API key, so I wouldn't really bother adding any complexity.

But they can track proxy metrics for this. For example people using GMail's builtin unsubscribe feature more than once with the same unsubscribe link for different emails is a pretty good indicator the unsubscribe did not work.

there's a line in the movie the incredibles where robert (the hero) is meeting with the designer (edna) of super suits to design him a new suit even though such activities are technically illegal.

The dialogue goes something like this:

Edna:As am I, Robert, yet here we are.

so now it's 2023. you're telling me it's now safe to click on unsubscribe to the spam emails.

yet here we are.

no, the strait forward response is to ignore and mark as spam any unsolicited emails you did not explicitly sign up for. don't try to interact through the desired or expected channels of any entity that spams you.
> I am not sure about coded in c part … osx is … but is os9 Pascal plus assembler?

Not to any significant extent. The leaked System 7 code I've seen was mostly C and assembler, with a couple of isolated Pascal files in specific areas (mostly Apple Events and CommToolbox). I can't imagine they added much more Pascal after that.
It's somewhat wild: I remember as a kid being taught that those with the power are the ones with the responsibility. And yet once I entered the workforce, it turns out it's the opposite.

If they developed a competent eGPU implementation (currently entirely unsupported in Silicon Macs as far as I know), then that and another tier or two of CPU options fitted into the Studio line sounds more like Apple's style. The trashcan, for all its misgivings, was still pleasantly small and a small, quiet workstation bolstered by exclusively external expansion strikes me as ever-so-Apple.

And of course we keep the Mac Pro above that, meant for almost nobody.

You're right, they don't appear to be chasing these markets aggressively right now, but some of the stuff they're doing suggests that might change.
Ben Davis should create his own art show, posting all the hate messages he got. He can call it “Conversations with Devon and his followers”

It can include an installation where a performer demonstrates all the threats on a Ben Davis effigy. “And here we have the performer shooting a flamethrower at a small model of Davis’ house as per hate message received on $date from ShadyFan23 on Facebook”.
Right - spammers (and legit marketers) do not want an old or out of date email lists to work with. Wastes time and reduces the lists ROI.

Language do have right and wrong pronunciation and, in many cases, it is also tied to the script. e.g. in Hindi position of tongue, lips and sound from vocal cord is defined for every phoneme.

That's why games like spelling bee make no sense because if you can hear the word, you can write it there is no ambiguity. Some may pronounce words it differently, but they are mostly different dialects. Or in some cases it is accepted as wrong but common pronunciation.

I did the exact same thing a few days ago. I thought NextDoor would be social media that connects me with my local community. Nope. It’s overwhelmingly “recommend me someone for <service>”, camera footage of shady people or crime reports, and complaints about neighbors. The excessive emails were the final straw that took me from indifference to actively excising NextDoor from my phone.

So if anyone has ideas for connecting with your local community, I’m still looking…
Well you either do something because you are forced to or because you want to. You don't control either.

That was possible back in 2002. LEDs weren't yet "super bright" and an LED from back then had a lifespan measured in, well, human lifespans.

For all intents and purposes, the Apple II was an entirely separate product family. There was very little software compatibility between the two, and the II existed alongside Macintosh for nearly a decade.
I find the venn diagram of spammers and "legitimate" companies increasingly overlaps and it's impossible to cleanly differentiate the two.

my university spams me. i bought a torch from olight. they spam me. i get food deliveries. they spam me. i bought some tech. they spam me. i look for real estate they spam me. i get a delivery. they spam me.

it's differentiating between the two that's unrealistic.

Not that I can see. I spec’d this:

SoC: 11-core CPU, 14-core GPU, 16-core NE
Memory: 18 GB
Disk Space: 1 TB SSD
Power: 70 Watt
Price: $2199

I personally would go for the 36GB Ram on this, bump the processor to the 12/18 core set and go for 2TB drive but the price skyrockets with these additions.

Most people that want to self host their own email server for personal use (e.g. on a VPS on their own domain) don't have the infrastructure for reverse DNS zones, so I'd argue that DMARC and DKIM are kind of pointless because their email lands in spam anyways once the PTR query on the IP fails to resolve to the same domain because 99% of the time it will be something like ipv4.somehosting-company.com

Whats the point of re-parroting Apple PR and include: "the most advanced x" for each new generation something Apple?

I get it that they must say it but for the rest of us it's pretty obvious that they would say and it would make sense to develop something that will be less advanced than the stuff you already have.

You might make different trade offs but you surely would not do whatever the equivalent of de-growth be in computing.

> The only lesson learned is that all information is suspect.

This is the only reality we can trust. I cannot help but think the anxiety we feel about truthlessness is rooted in the Abrahamic tradition, which promised the end to ambiguity, because clearly this is The Truth. I seek some solace in the Eastern tradition, where the first step toward knowledge is acceptance of unknowing. It is true that Buddhists do indeed tend to 'check out' of society, which I do not agree with, but I think we can learn something from how they handle ambiguity of reality.
Examining the code, my first thought was to throw it a de Bruijn sequence[1]: a cyclic sequence of length 2^n that contains every string of length n as a subsequence. It should (and does) learn a length-32 de Bruijn sequence after only a couple of repeats, but performs miserably on a length-64 sequence.

With a little (computer-)elbow grease, one can find a sequence with perfectly free will. After a short time, it starts repeating every... that's right, 64 characters. So of course, we want to find the shortest possible prefix.

ddddddfdddddffddddfffdddfdfdddff
ffddfddfdffddffdfddfffffdfdfdfff
dffdffffffffdffffffdffffddffffff
dfdfffdffdffffddfffdfdfffdddffff
ffdffdffffddfdffddffdfddfffdfdfd
fffdddffdffdfddffddfdffddddfffff
fdffffddfffdfdfdfffdddfdfdddffdf
fdfddfddffddfdffddddfdfdfdddfddf
dddddffffffdffffddfffdfdfffdddff
dffdfddffddfdffddddfdfdfdddfddfd
etc.

Note that the last two lines are a de Bruijn sequence. Repeat those until you get bored. That's how you exercise your free will.

There is a deterministic bias: when in doubt, the page guesses "f". If it flipped a coin instead, a few experiments show that the greedy algorithm I and omoikane use cannot beat 25% for long.

Consider the thought experiment that you give your postal address to some business, because you want to subscribe to regular grocery deliveries. Then you notice that each delivered package contains a small transparent bag with some with powder in it.

Whoever treats others' information can only do so with a clear purpose and for a defined time period according to current EU laws.

If, however, you were referring to information that you published on the Internet for everyone's benefit then you would still need to consider intellectual property rights. In the open source software world we have the licenses that deal with this, and then there are copyright laws protecting content providers (not making a case here whether they are good or not).

I guess what makes a difference is if there is some business involved either in the production or in the consumption side of the equation and if we accept that "machine learning" is the same as "human learning".
