So here I'm learning that Nature published their paper, which claimed an absolutely world-changing breakthrough, after the lead authors had already had two papers retracted?

the Springer Nature Group has a profit margin of 26% on annual revenue of ~€1.7bn [0]. If they were keen to publish this paper, they could have afforded to send an expert to the lab to actually see the process for themselves.

But that's not the kind of thing you do if your core business model is to publish splashy headlines...

Looks like the West 1st St bridge.

Need to see who paid for it. But it looks it's the route from the southwest corner of town to the state highway, the main route west. Probably well travelled.

And paid for by public funds. Nursing homes tend to be private, so completely different budgets.
It's like that all over Florida and Georgia. Most gas stations where the bathrooms are not accessed from inside the convenience store have locked bathrooms. That isn't something unique to California.
Philo T. Farnsworth actually burned up all of his wealth in the 1960s in trying to build his fusor into a power generation device.

It does trigger nuclear fusion, but the design cannot break even.

"No fusor has ever come close to break-even energy output and it appears it is unable to ever do so."

From the anecdotes there, it sounds a whole lot like something is going on where it's internally doing a summarizing step to fit into a much smaller actual context window than 128K.
>There was literally a black hat talk on exploiting cellular networks this year.

Talk at black hat =/= everyones devices are de facto vulnerable. For as tech savy as this forum is, its surprising how many people are not well read up on security.

The summary of vulnerability is this - if you use a cellular network, your baseband chip vulnerability is next to irrelevant. Your location can be triangulated from radio signals, and its likely that there are messaging contacts and calls that are logged that use the respective celluar services.

Now for pure data transmission from a secure messaging app. Most of the communication for privacy is done using end to end encryption apps like Telegram. While those can be compromised, those require a direct targeted attack on the device, you cant just remotely do this over the internet.
They’re definitely thinking about impact… to their overall margins.

> Our CT scans reveal an intriguing difference between the heat sinks in the real and counterfeit chargers. The genuine charger uses a relatively thin heat sink that wraps around most of the transformer. The counterfeit uses a heavier, but simpler heat sink design. Apple’s heat sink requires more manufacturing steps to stamp and assemble and likely provides more even distribution of heat. The counterfeit’s design is more likely to lead to dangerous hot spots—especially combined with its less sophisticated transformer, which would tend to generate more heat.

This just seems like wild speculation to me. It totally reads like we found differences between Apple and the counterfeit. Let's make up a reason why Apple is better. Instead of coming from a place where you give it the counterfeit benefit of the doubt.

if you are genuinely interested in a different, historically significant (this was the Wests understanding of usury for over 1000 years) take on usury, this is a good place to start:

It's complicated. I've worked on every kind of application in a container environment: ones that ran at ultra-low priority while declaring zero CPU request and infinite CPU limit. I ran one or a few of these on nearly every machine in Google production for over a year, and could deliver over 1M xeon cores worth of throughput for embarassingly parallel jobs. At other times, I ran jobs that asked for and used precisely all the cores on a machine (a TPU host), specifically setting limits and requests to get the most predictable behavior.

The true objective function I'm trying to optimize isn't just "save money" or "don't waste CPU resources", but rather "get a million different workloads to run smoothly on a large collection of resources, ensuring that revenue-critical jobs always can run, while any spare capacity is available for experimenters, up to some predefined limits determined by power capacity, staying within the overall budget, and not pissing off any really powerful users." (well, that's really just a simplified approximation)
I was going off your initial point of what you want: No exclusives. Not just paid timed exclusives.

>Its when a storefront bribes a publisher to keep a product exclusive to one store

That's not a bribe, that's a business transaction. Do you bribe a store to give you a product?

>If a publisher chooses to do a single store front, then fine w/e.

This contrasts with your previous: "as long as its not limited to one"

So now publishers are allowed to choose one storefront, but somehow they can't be paid to make that choice? How should they be making that choice if not by how much each storefront is offering?
I'd like to see this table again, this time with a few humans for comparison

that seems entirely too high for merely hosting and publishing papers. They don't do verification themselves, since scientific papers are meant to be peer reviewed (and unpaid peers, for that matter).

> How much crime it catches is directly related to how much crime it could prevent.

If you could actually prove that, I think you'd become quite famous in sociological/economic science.

So no, I think you're making an unwarranted assumption: "How much you can catch" is not necessarily proportional to "How many would have tried except for the fear of being caught."

In particular, actual/would-be violators have a distribution of different motivations and tolerances for risk.
It bothers me a little bit as a programmer, but the rational part of my mind is aware that there's literally never been a major technological advancement in human history that didn't ultimately result in more people being employed, not less. Improvements in productivity just result in people realizing there's a whole new world of stuff they can now build that wasn't feasible before, and the market will eat that up.

The shape of my career might change, but I doubt I'll be unable to find a job.

> They Used the [free] Blackmagic Camera App: Matters as Much as Log

One thing I'm really excited about from this is timecode. I only dabble in videos, things like my kids performances, but I always like to have a couple cameras (gives some variety, in case someone walks or stands in front of one of the cameras). I've been using cheap action cams and syncing them is the bane of my existence. Being able to get timecode out of a couple iPhones would be fantastic!

I've been eyeing the GoPros, they have "labs" firmware that can do time sync, and the latest camera has that built in. But it also sounds like they have overheating problems and can't really record more than ~20 minutes without a break.

That's true except that if that session key is lost or exfiltrated, the scope of the breach is everything that key was used to encrypt (all of the user's data in your example).

The other consideration is how to safely cache the data key? What if the cache is popped?

The year is 2024, and I've just read somerhing like the following comment online:

"Sounds like you're going through a period of grief and mourning. I've found computers to be a remarkably efficient prosthetic replacement for processing meaningful experiences with other real, live people."

It just breaks my heart, and fills me with despair, to see opportunities for human connection so giddily elided. Radio and television were bad enough. Social media has been bad enough. Now we're selling out the last bastions of compassion—grief and mourning—to be mediated by cynical corporate silicon golems? This is the psychosocial equivalent of a catheter and feeding tube. This is an induced social coma.

The wo/man is grieving, for heaven's sake! My advice would be to go have coffee with someone who has read the book! A real live flesh and blood someone. Several such someones! Possibly an entire group or congregation of mourners. We, the grieving, would really appreciate you dropping by.
There's not three: do not forget Dish. They bought a ton of spectrum prior, and got Boost, spectrum, and partnership with TMo after the merger.

Despite a brutal earnings call yesterday, they are expanding network aggressively. They have the bankroll to ramp up, unlike Sprint who was circling the drain. I think ultimately there will be 4 healthy competitors, not 3.

Yep that's the problem. Not the camera.

Fix your focus and fix your lighting. That's 95% of professional-quality footage, in most cases.

Good indoor lighting, by the way, isn't cheap, and that's the part they didn't tell you they probably spent tens of thousands on.

Yeah, if you shoot with your IKEA lights and your bedroom mess in the background, it's going to look like it was "shot on a shitty phone" even if you have an Arri camera.

Oh and here's the other killer thing pros don't tell you -- broad sunny daylight looks like shit on any camera. But it's the time 95% of the population likes to go outdoors.

You want some dramatic clouds? Chase a storm. You want that crack of dawn effect? Get up 2 hours before the crack of dawn to set up.
> you can't really form your own exper[t] opinion on every question you will face.

noone can be an expert in all fields, but you can seek multiple opinions from multiple experts, and generally the consensus is likely to be correct. Esp. if those experts are far apart, and unlikely to be colluding or associated.

The trick is how to do it efficiently, and not to fall into confirmation bias (aka, seeking only experts that agree with your preconceived notions).

Not just one line, but often 3-4 lines, and when writing tests, it often completes 10+ lines for me, and I only have to make a few corrections, sometimes none at all.

You have to read every line and character it suggests, but even so, it saves time.

It has also helped me while learning Typescript. As a beginner, it wasn't/isn't always clear to me how to find the types I need to use in third-party libraries like the Firebase SDK, and generating the code via Copilot and then finding the types it references helps me work backwards to understand where the types are declared. Sometimes, working with Copilot is like having documentation with tailor-made examples. Sometimes it's just wrong, though, so it's a mixed bag.

> solid technical reasons such as leaking through metal.

Where the heck did you read that.
Sometimes, if your computer has memory to spare, allocating more memory will make the program faster. For example, I've read a paper that found that, for a compiler written in C, allocating tree nodes using arenas and deallocating arenas all at once sped up the program at the cost of more memory usage (compared to maintaining a free list). Allocation was quicker because it was usually just a pointer bump, not navigating a linked list, and deallocation was quicker because the arena chunk was marked as free, not individual nodes.

I imagine it would be similar with eliminating dynamic allocation vs having it. For example, I assume it would be more performant for an implementation of printf to dynamically allocate space for its result and write a whole line to stdout at once than to, for instance, make a system call to write each byte to stdout while avoiding dynamic allocation. I can't think of any better examples for a bare metal context at the moment, though.
Then why is it called the singular “Hacker” news?
Good grief!

At a guess, it is copy/paste from MATLAB marketing materials, intended as a sort of appeal to authority – "we used MATLAB so our results must be good".
Back in the days before Oracle, Sun would sell you a dual socket Opteron desktop and you could add your own FPGA right on the hypertransport in the second socket.

Exciting to see that capability becoming more standardized with CXL.

Edit: phrasing.
Literally the point of the article is that studios aren't wanting to reuse footage, they're wanting to use "AI" to create new footage with the person's face and likeness. It isn't reusing what they've been paid for, it's selling their image in new media that they aren't compensated for, and if their image specifically was not the valuable part then the studios wouldn't be wanting to do this, they'd just use a new and cheap actor instead.

Given an actor's job is based in part on their image, voice, and likeness, that is equivalent to your current employer taking what they're paying you for now (your ability to write code), and saying therefore they have perpetual access to what made you valuable (the code you write).
I live in Japan as well and I can’t stand not having DST sometimes. Just knowing sunrise was about 3-4 hours before I woke up (8/9am) is enough to throw off my natural sense of time. My wife on the other hand when visiting the USA thought it was weird to see the sunset at 7pm. I guess it all depends if you’re willing to get up according to the sunrise and sleep after sunset or what time it is according to the clock.

capitalism doesn't like your idea
Congratulations - you just became a Sr Product Manager!
You're confusing technology and the economic system that technology exists under. Your first three points are symptoms of Capitalism, not AI.

Your fifth point is largely moot, since there's already more information available to people than anyone could possibly obtain in their lifetime, and the amount is growing faster than anybody could consume it. The problem can't really get any worse.

Your fourth point is more interesting, but I'd argue that the tech is already widely available for any type of crime you'd want to commit using AI. Banning it at this point just makes it so that only the criminals have access to it, and ceasing further progress on AI doesn't really make sense because from here, improvements will benefit legitimate users who want consistent, correct responses from their chatbots far moreso than the criminals who can afford to cast wide nets.
Weird, I was peer reviewing a manuscript earlier today and actually thought of something similar. The manuscript needs some work to improve its English and I wondered if some of the broken English passages were a test to see what nonsense a referee like me would put up with. I don't think it is a test but the thought did occur to me.
Ask horses how they're doing these days... just because we've always found a use for humans because of their unique cognitive abilities doesn't mean we always will find a use.

I think it's critical to be thinking about how to make sure wealth isn't simply funneled to a few capitalists who own everything simply by virtue of them being first, because it seems that's the future we're heading for if we aren't careful.

While I like Larry David, he has no business promoting financial products to consumers. In fact, I think it should be illegal for celebrities or "influencers" to promote any kind of financial products.

“It’s hard to talk about the Cosmos without using big numbers. I said “billion” many times on the Cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. But I never said “billions and billions.” For one thing, it’s too imprecise. How many billions are “billions and billions”? A few billion? Twenty billion? A hundred billion? “Billions and billions” is pretty vague. When we reconfigured and updated the series, I checked—and sure enough, I never said it.”

Eh, this working engineer doesn't think so. Freeform fraud detection is a hard problem in general, and when you're talking about (apparent) cutting-edge research, the pool of people who might spot specific details is tiny.

A low probability of detection does suggest that the penalty should be relatively high to have a deterrent effect.
