What they know about the world was told to them through stories, so whatever way we see it, they will too, maybe.

Knowledge is justified true belief. If you park your car on 5th avenue, you know it is parked there because you witnessed yourself parking it there. You have strong justification for your belief that you parked it on 5th avenue.

But if you then go to work and your car is out of sight, your justification fades. If you look out the window and see your car parked there, you reaffirm your belief. However, if you look and your car is not there, you realize you don’t know where your car is. For a period of time you were mistaken in your belief about the whereabouts of your car. During the time when your car was out of sight, you went from knowing to not knowing where your car was, but nothing changed inside your mind. To update your belief, you needed new information about the world.

An LLM has no justification for any of the information
in its training set. It has no experiences with which to connect words and facts to real world objects and events. Therefore it cannot be said to have knowledge of any of it.
I find the extra detail adds to the horror, though I'd generally agree. The scariest horror films are the ones that hint rather than depicting everything.

With Azathoth, I find it more disturbing to consider that our entire universe is just a fragment of a dream by Azathoth, and the pipers play a tune to keep him asleep, as what happens to a dream when the dreamer awakes?
Interesting. In this case however, it is up to the Airport authority to make every reasonable effort. Once they auction off the stuff, it is presumed the reasonable effort was unfruitful.

I’d be surprised if UK Airports didn’t do something similar with unclaimed/lost baggage.
That sounds reasonable, as long as it's a choice. It's harsh and ineffecyive to ask people that aren't as attached to burgers to have their population controlled for them.

So people should have a choice, either go vegan, or they can enter the giant lottery where 90% gets population controlled by bullet or similar and the other 10% wins the right continue to consume burgers and other animal products the rest of their lives.

Or at least, that's what I understand when I read comments like yours.

In the meantime, you could try some plant based burgers. They're not a direct replacement but many of them are quite good on their own terms, and there is a huge variety.

(90/10 split is a guess)
Unlike Teslas, Toyotas are generally pretty good cars which tend to run reliably and have parts that fit together properly. So, there's no need for them to completely start from scratch on each new model generation although many of the parts are changed. Currently they offer 16 different vehicles in the US market (more if you count Lexus and foreign markets), 3 of which are shared with other manufacturers. New generations of each are typically launched about every 6 years for the high volume vehicles.
In other words, they had an average of 6.3 lambda invocations per second.

Why make it sound so sensational? I did much more than that on a single xeon machine.
Yes, we need that too.

This happens a lot in climate policy discussions - "what about this other solution?" The answer is always "yes, that too!"
I used it yesterday to generate a basic layout with image and input field based on tailwindcss.

Yeah it’s a bad look, especially since Australia pivoted to India to fill the large gap China left in their export market. Now India is importing from Australia at a rate that is alarming only to China.

The only problem for Australia is the China was often times paying radically larger premiums for Australian goods then any other country would be willing to pay. So everyone is starting to feel the heat.

Interesting read.
Common misconception that hardware matters and thus we are not in a duopoly situation with Google and Apple being the only options for software.

Doesn't mean Apple aren't -holes with repairs, but in my opinion the above software problem is worse.
All of this may be old hat for macOS and Windows, but it's entirely new to Linux. That's kind of the point.
There's a significant difference between a Chinese-made Apple OEM part and an aftermarket low-cost Chinese part.
It's not a tautology, it's a feedback loop. If a group has or is perceived to have a higher rate of criminality, they will be treated in ways which reinforce criminal tendencies and promote more criminal behavior. A "self-fulfilling prophecy", if you will.
It may be obvious, but it's still worth stating! I loaned $1000 to a friend in my 20's, and ended up losing both the friendship and the money (though one was not wholly causal of the other).
Well we survived blue screens of death for a long while before things crashed less.

Same story repeating with financial systems/data right now. You will get your digital cash back faster than you will get physical cash back when it's stolen. As to privacy and control, don't kid yourself that the plebs have ever had it.
The docuseries has a lot more information than the Wikipedia article.

For example, interviews with some of the people who worked on that Pepsi commercial.

Not really defending it as such, just offering my experience.

That being said if I was trying to see it from Apple’s perspective, it does address a lot of problems pretty easily: thieves breaking devices down for parts or coercing users, customers having issues with their devices due to low quality repairs, users buying second hand phones with unofficial parts, various security concerns, etc. Apple do also sell old and refurbished devices also.

That being said, I do think Apple should be solving this in a way that allows unofficial repairs, even if that involves taking your ID and proof of purchase into an Apple Store to get your device “unlocked” for free so you can do whatever you want with it, knowing it may hurt the resale value and impact the device’s security. More than that, I think it should be legally required under right to repair legislation.
I think the GPTs market is a bit of a novelty thing. But it might work with low costs. I've been making my own GPTs last few days and I find the capability useful but very inconsistent.

If you give a GPTs personality more complex tasks, it gets distracted and reverts to its default ChatGPT personality.

There aren't enough parameters and compute in these LLMs for the things we're pushing them to do. We need hardware to catch up and offer analog compute for neural nets, so we can scale them way up. And of course evolve architectures to make use of that capability. Only then I see this becoming truly rock solid.

Also using the context window for personalities is likely the wrong approach. You gotta finetune this on the model itself.

But yeah GPT can't keep a secret. But humans also can't, so I guess it's imitating us fine.
Wasn't this partly by Apple's own making? Apple shreds devices to prevent people from salvaging parts for repairs[1], even phones that were usable[2]. and hasn't sold genuine components until very recently.

everything about asahi feels like it's an apple's product: everywhere you look - it is always "amazing"!

but so far no finally usable implementation exists even for m1 macbooks and they age quickly, and I doubt people will see anything usable in the end (yeah, you might get a fully working Linux on your old dusty m1 when you buy m7, happy?).

so far it is achievements for the sake of achievements

EasyEffects is designed for Linux. xprot is designed for Linux. Both open-source. And used in consumer products.

(And all of this is ignoring the bunch of Android stuff which while Linux doesn't classify as "desktop Linux").
Control is a part of this implicit model.

And control is money. Apple obviously makes more money by controlling and limiting the consumer's ability to repair the device.

How much maintenance does this take to keep its reflectivity? Does it get colonised by algae? If it needs to be scrubbed with bleach once a year, I can see that being an issue.

Facebook marketplace is about on-par popularity-wise with kijiji these days. Not too long ago I had to sell a used car and put it on both and received about the same number of genuine interest responses from both sites. Kijiji is a better site in my opinion; better layout, ux, search options and filtering etc. But facebook has more people already on it so network effects.
Yeah even better!
Could you expand some more on this? Short of active curation of small segments of online, deemed important, snapshots kept alive by constant maintenance (I wonder what the internet archives drive failure rates look like), there isn't a digital medium readily available (to the masses) yet that can survive 100+ years while also storing a meaningful amount of information. There are research efforts like Microsofts crystal thing. But so far no real winners.
Could this be combined with something like llama.cpp's constraint-based grammar (https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/grammars/...) to always enforce syntactically correct code output?

I recently quit a dev job because the project manager micromanaged everything (among other reasons). In that job I was treated as a set of hands to execute someone else's vision and nothing more. No one ever said to me "figure it out", even though that is my number one skill as a developer, and that is the part of my job that I love the most.

Thank you for sharing this anecdote. It has helped me understand the management style I prefer.
I find it’s more that people suck at listening, not communicating. IT people will happily explain if you ask and listen, but frankly most people dont like to feel dumb for asking questions.

When was the last time a manager asked you what you needed to do your job better?
Typically when people say that they mean that the language doesn't have guaranteed tail-call optimization. You can certainly write Rust that has the TCO pass applied, but it can be brittle because it's just an optimisation pass that might not happen.
> Now make this an actually punitive amount ... and you may start to actually fix this problem.

Seems like there's no real desire to fix this problem - which isn't a new one by any means - otherwise it would already have been done ages ago?

In fact you are wrong. OpenBSD is well known to work on laptops "out-of-the-box", but FreeBSD it was for quite a long while impossible to make properly working suspend/hibernate.
We're emitting around 40 billion tonnes of CO2 per year on this planet. This removes 1000. We need another 40 million or so of these facilities to take out what we emit. And mind you, what we emit, is still growing, by about 300M tonne per year. So, at best you could say that this slows down this growth by a tiny meaningless percentage.

At this scale, it's a cynical form of green washing that is so futile that it's not even worth talking about. The point of installations like this is to allow polluters to buy off their sins.

The church built a booming business out of allowing people to buy off their sins in the middle ages. It didn't really help but it made people feel good about themselves. This sort of is the modern day equivalent.
Which is why it makes no sense to say "Chinese" to mean low quality

For me the only KDE distribution that works is OpenSuse. I tried many others (including Fedora KDE spin) and had significant issues each time. Even KDE Neon was a disappointment. So I’m in the green chameleon land for now.
There is certainly nuance, but I do stand by my attitude here. In the case of a house, for instance, if I have a mortgage, or I'm part of an HOA, etc., then I don't own the property. At least, I'm not the sole owner. I'm sharing ownership with other people.

so there is still hope for google?

but if we take Apple as a guide, this means one of the original founders either gets back in "the game" or they won't be able to use Apple as a guide

I believe they ultimately end up pointing at git repos.
Honestly? Well written C++, IMO, should look like C, but with alien builtins from the future. Once C++ gets really good ad hoc memory & resource tracking, you still have the harder problem that resource acquisition is a performance suck — which is true with any language from machine code to MetaOCaml.

This is a case for post-purchase rationalization.
Take an obviously negative trait and spin/distort it in such a way it sounds like an advantage, reinforcing your delusion that you made the right choice.

Same for a single, apple-controlled store, the inability to actually install apps without a store, even deciding what browser engine should everyone use.
No, that did not happen with iPhones. Apple throttled the CPU once the battery health dropped below a certain threshold to prevent unexpected shutdowns caused by drawing too much current from an old battery. In my view, the only thing they’re responsible for in that occasion is poor communication.
Free and substantially more difficult than taking a shot. I think semaglutide et al are going to be troublesome at a societal level [0] but the “duh, simply diet!” attitude is just obviously detached from reality. It turns out it’s not simple at all for most people.

The US financial system is interesting. Government and consumer debt is so very high, yet because of our military we so far have been able to preserve the dollar as the reserve currency. I have no idea when this house of cards will fall, but I would bet we still have many years of financial privilege. I think it is ironic though that the more we throw our weight around the more other countries are motivated to use the US dollar but also want alternatives. I am really curious how this will all play out.
That is not the point. If I newly checkout my Go project and build it, it will use my forked repos instead of the orginal ones.
If someone use my project, it will also use my forked repos, so it makes the builds more reproducible.
That way, I'm not pushing the dependencies in my project.

Speaking for myself I think through childhood I have just been too damn busy all the time with school and my own projects, never actually taking time to be bored and recall the past.

The pandemic caused a "never change" to happen in many businesses. There are many things unlikely to happen that could have high impact. Taken as a group, something unlikely yet high impact becomes likely (i.e. the Black Swan paradox).
Losing full control of your finances
So one of two things usually happen, either:

(1) It gets shipped straight to Eastern Europe or China and broken down for parts which are resold back to unauthorised repair shops in the West as official Apple parts.

Or more commonly (2) they will try to socially engineer the owner into giving up their Apple credentials so that they can sign out the iPhone and wipe it. If that fails, go to (1).

When my brother’s partner had her iPhone nicked, they extracted her phone number off the SIM then started sending her messages linking to a phishing iCloud sign in page, saying something like “Your stolen device has been located, sign in here to recover it.”.
"I care about what I like" is a consistent moral belief. The issue is that people don't realize that that is thier belief and create anlternative beliefs which sound better to them which then become inconsistent.
In this, our modern world, tiny speakers are what most people listen to most things on, except maybe in their cars.

Phones, laptops, tablets. The tiny speakers built into TVs, much smaller than even built-in speakers on CRT TVs used to be. Ear buds of various sorts, and smallish headphones. That’s most audio-listening accounted for (except in cars).

Hell, I’ve got a good hi-fi setup and (separately) a probably-top-couple-percent 7.2 home theater audio situation (in one room… but not on the other TV) and even so I listen to things on tiny speakers more than on big ones.

> Carte blanche is a bit much, but I definitely put more trust in Musk and Gates and anyone who's trying to directly tackle real problems with science, technology and resourcefulness, over randos constantly whining about "playing god" or "hubris", etc. - who don't even believe in their own bullshit, because if they did, they'd all pack up and find some nice caves to live in.

This is... hilarious. It's either believe in Lord and Savior Elohim Muskiah and crew to save the human race through glorious, heroic science, or give up on technology entirely. Do you not even see the stupidity here? Of course you don't.

These idiots don't represent science. They don't represent technology. They didn't invent the modern world. They're not making the world a better place, the best example of which you completely ignored in my last reply, do I need to spell it out, yes I do, it's the big Xitter. Twitter was doing just fine before ole' Elmoid decided to save the human race from its evil wokism.

You do see them as representative of science and "human ingenuity." You are completely saddened by the fact that science fiction author(s) are coming out of the woodwork to warn against drinking this kool-aid, and then moving hell and high water in the comments to defend the faith, circle the wagons. Human ingenuity is fine. It's always been fine. You're motte and bailey'ing this. You want to believe in techbro Jesus and then when called on you retreat back to "oh it's just human ingenuity I believe in."

No. I'm not letting you do that. If so this article wouldn't make you sad. You'd be seeing it as yet another example of such ingenuity. You'd see the work authors do as valuable. But instead you just see myths being shattered. The only representatives of ingenuity you seem to value are techbros. If the science mythologists aren't doing their job by properly mythologizing the techbros, then they aren't contributing to glorious science revolution.

This is pure western overintellectualization that has nothing to do with the ground truth. Ukrainian journalist Volodymyr Zolkin has recorded lengthy interviews with hundreds of Russian POWs in Ukraine and published them on Youtube[1]. In every interview, he asks why they are in Ukraine. Their reasons are much more mundane. By far the most common reason is money, often because of existing debt (microloans, alimony). Those who enlisted from prisons commonly cite the promise of expurgation of their criminal record (fresh start).

You're right that you can do DSP everywhere, but if you implement this in user space you give everybody rights to damage the speaker.

It's not only useful for tiny speakers: everything from home audio to big PA installations for concert halls can benefit from DSP optimisations. It's a way to squeeze more sound from the same speakers.
