And of course preventing people from modifying and controlling hardware that they own, having paid 6 figures for (in the case of the Polestar 3 anyway). But that's table stakes for embedded systems in this day and age. Security for me, not for thee.
Isomorphic .NET Support in Extism
The latest .NET 8 release is packed with new WebAssembly support and we've made it seamless to use in Extism. This post goes into detail about how the integration work was done and highlights some of these cool features in .NET and Extism alike.
They are probably using the new GPT Vision API that OpenAI just added this month.
Basically yes, plus he was as vague as he could be to cover many possible outcomes. That’s why no educated person takes his „prophecies” seriously.
Not bad. I still prefer Xitter though. The X is pronounced 'sh'.
It's a little bit more complicated than that, it was "the rules said so" and then they just used humans to check if people used the rules. The government at the time was very hard on fraud after a couple of high-profile fraud cases by immigrants. Mostly Bulgarians falsely claiming welfare

Anyway, several ministers and other high officials pressured the welfare department to be hard on fraud, which caused the imposition of harsh fines for minor filing errors. The department also got into a bit of a witch hunt were anyone being investigated for fraud was almost always presumed to be guilty. This, combined with the fact that most of the welfare recipients were not very educated, didn't speak Dutch all that well and/or were under a lot of stress due to being generally economically disadvantaged, led to some big fines levied against people who didn't objectively do all that much wrong. Several of them lost their homes or got deep into debt due to the fines and legal costs.

Simply claiming it was "the algorithm said so" skips over all the history about why the rules were written the way they were, and the human errors made along the way.

Green energies in general are heavily subsidized, whereas conventional fossil fuels are heavily taxed. Without these measures, there would be no transition to alternative power sources, because economically they are nonsensical.

Generally because although you can easily generate new versions, it is difficult to generate a new version that is different from the old version in a specific way, without also being different in 100 other ways that you didn't want.

It's like a revision control system where when you submit a commit that changes one line, which it faithfully records, it also records a change in dozens of other lines in the file. (Which leads you down the merry road of Stable Diffusion where you can "inpaint" that one line, but now it's not able to adjust the rest of things to accommodate that change because you told it not to...)
> As far as I can tell, it is correct: It does not know the contents of the paper. It barely understands the high-level concepts involved

LLMs work by predicting the next bunch of words - it's advanced auto complete. If most of the training data replies "I don't" to the question 'Do you, or do you not know the contents of Dr. Franz 1994 paper "Code Generation on the Fly: A key to portable software"?' then that's what the LLM will say.

It's half useful for answering frequently asked questions but don't expect it to evaluate its current state and give you an accurate answer.

> We don't know enough about what "knowing" something or "processing" a concept means in terms of human thought processes to know whether there's a meaningful distinction between the level at which an LLM processes these concepts vs. humans or whether there is a meaningful distinction between reasoning and intelligence vs. "modelling the statistical properties of human languages".

But we do know what LLMs do, model language. Not knowledge. Not “thought”. Language.

And the way we get them to spit out output that’s satisfactory to us is just absurd. If you read the link I posted earlier, you will know that if you set the “temperature” of an LLM to zero, it just repeats itself talking in circles. It’s only by adding randomness to its “next token” search that we get output that possibly satisfactory.
Developers often love simplicity and underengineering, which can also lead to performance problems.

My personal definition of engineering is: choosing good compromises between competing needs.
> Everybody with a subpar product thinks that what is lacking for them is exposure. Most of them start spending a lot on ads.
Most probably your website is not good enough to attract a public.

You didn't have to be mean, you chose to be. Whether it's true or not, this isn't constructive criticism, it's just mean spirited.

> Edit: I know it sounds rude, but since you haven't linked to the site, there's no way to evaluate it either.

And why would I now? Now that I already know you're expecting it to be bad, I'm guessing that whether it's nice or terrible, you're going to think it's terrible. I don't have any interest in sending my website to someone who isn't interested in giving constructive criticism or giving suggestions.
An ergonomic split keyboard. Suddenly I can type without rotating my shoulders inward. Which in turn means more room in my chest for my lungs to expand. The difference was not subtle. Learning to touch-type on this thing took a while but was totally worth it.
I would replace the word "learn" with memorize here. You aren't rewarded in school for learning, you are rewarded for information regurgitation. The point of taking Ritalin is to improve this capacity. Learning is secondary to passing in school

Yes. The long-term impact of the quality of posts in interest subreddits is immediately noticeable and staggering. This is not even to speak of the moderators who are no longer participating.
What we have is calibrated instrumentation which has recorded inhuman feats which most likely would tear apart any other fighter jet and kill the pilot. In the traditional sense, yes a UFO.

But do we really think we're just catching UFOs before they make crop circles or anally probe bored farmers? Is it some sort of invasion? No obviously not.

Since this is the US government releasing this information, I don't doubt the credibility but I do question timing; far too much coincidence for this to occur at a geopolticial inflection point. I also question the media's seemingly non-interest in the subject as bizarre. It's also tremendously curious that the sort of top-secret cycle is now as well.

Consider, F117 Nighthawk retired in 2008, primarily due to the introduction of the F22 raptor. The F22 being significant stealthier then the F117. The B2 bomber having a few years left but will be replaced by the B21 Raider; in much the same top secret cycle.

The F22 is still king of the skies, literally nothing fielded by any other countries can bring to the fight. The USA never exported any but also hasn't built a new one in over a decade.

Been hearing about NGAD for ages but nobody ever built anything? Elon Musk has predicted 'the fighter jet era is over'

Isn't it obvious that it has? The main problem with fighters, especially A2A platforms, all the pilot requirements is hugely limiting. Get rid of the pilot, all those heavy instruments, and be way better. Like, Alien-like, UFO-like, performance capabilities, especially if you're not carrying munitions because your drone is operation in secrecy near by your own legacy military.

Turkey, who feels extremely threatened by Russia and the Ukraine conflict. Not to mention China and Uighur situation. They revealed this year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayraktar_K%C4%B1z%C4%B1lelma

Guaranteed they will be building a boatload of these starting asap.

The USA's latest reveal about any such Combat Drone from 2003: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_X-47A_Pegasus

Now imagine an F22 NGAD where the drone can pull 20gs and cobra cancel literally anything 5thgen or older. The US airforce 100% has an equivalent or probably better A2A drone platform. AKA the ufos.

The future is virtual drone fighter pilots.

> Most users don't care about any of that

This is 100% incorrect. Users do care about software being built for them, in a language they can understand and use, and they very much want it to be usable and accessible to them. You'll have to provide me with some citation showing otherwise for me to take that argument seriously.

> I would argue that i18n and l10n belong outside your language's framework (and obviously outside CSS).

Obviously Frameworks and CSS disagree with this assertion. Considering you've presented no argument though, I don't see why you would think that, for example, it wouldn't be important to style your site differently for different languages. Are Americans routinely reading rtl?

Edit: It just occurred to me you think this way because most everything you create is specifically created for you and those like you. You care, you just don't realize you care until it's taken away.
Cheap hype like this is why public perception of AI is turning into "the new crypto'. The revolution is here! Get in now!

Instead of Coinbase P&L screenshots, it's short demos of what amounts to a TODO app.
It would require a lot of strong social structres. Because a lot of important tasks (like maintaining the floor cleaning equipment in the robot-tractor tyre factory) just really isnt that interesting but still needs to be done. I can see ways motivation can come from others. I'd argue my motivation to persist in my work isn't (directly) because of the money I am paid but rather due to social effects of my colleagues, and the money only contributed to building up this colleague social structure in the first place (alongside the potential value our work brings being an almost equally powerful motivator)

keeping these things going when people lose interest will be a challenge.
There is nobody in world leadership positions who seriously cares about this beyond lip service. The UN will discuss it once in a while but the Security Council members just don't want to make the sacrifices. And in domestic elections it's not even an issue compared to like guns and abortions and, always, the economy. Really it comes down to the US and China and neither one wants to change the status quo because it means they will sacrifice.

It's a lot easier to get funding for some immediate, foreign looking enemy. The Axis powers drove us to the Manhattan project. Hard to instill that same sense of urgency in the politicos when the threat is always like 50 years away and not simply somebody they can bomb.
It's definitely a tricky fair use case, and obviously will depend on each country.

IANAL but I'd say the main argument for it being free use is that subtitles don't take away from movie/TV sales. There's no harm. To the contrary -- fan-made subtitles in languages the studio didn't produce might generate purchases where there were none before.

While the main argument against it is that it's part of and enables broader piracy -- if you can show that people are overwhelmingly using subtitles with content they downloaded illegally, then it is part of harming the studios.

(Also, subtitles are not scripts. They usually don't even indicate who's speaking, much less include all of the scene descriptions and instructions. Probably ~half the words in a script are not dialog.)
Plus, you don’t even need a USB cable if you’re on the same network.
Build something that solves a painful or interesting problem. Build something new! Nudge the status quo back towards sanity, balance and goodness.

Tech people have this tendency to onanise over whatever tools they're using -- how many times have we seen the plainest vanilla empty "hello world" type of project being showcased, simply because somene was compelled to make Framework A work with Toolkit B for the sake of it. It's so boring!

I think the LLM-based tech poses such a challenge in this context, because yeah, we have to re-think what's possible. There's no point in building a showcase when the tool is a generalist.
What are the downsides of Aviation SAF? In Brazil we have cars that work with ethanol. Ethanol increases the engine power, but the car has just 70% of autonomy.
I guess you need to be specific... "or we will switch to Google"
Take a new software, like Blender or Gimp, and you'll totally have to do things "manually" via the menus before memorizing the "shortcuts" that will boost your productivity. It's nice for discoverability, accessibility, and probably necessary for most people (including me). I really don't see what's wrong in calling these shortcuts, if there's a longer, manual, tedious version, which has a shorter alternative. If you're a keyboard-driven person, I can get the idea, but you are being pedantic IMO...
redacted.ch does the same test today (the site is gazelle and looks similar to what.cd)
Second sentence of the article: "We’ll require creators to disclose when they've created altered or synthetic content that is realistic [emphasis added]."

From the second paragraph: "For example, this could be an AI-generated video that realistically depicts an event that never happened, or content showing someone saying or doing something they didn't actually do."

They are not requiring labeling of all synthetic content.
How do you normally do your work commute? Bike, walk, public transit? Just curious.
I get your point, but it only applies to the most simple of these examples. This can do all kinds of stuff, for example look further into that thread and you’ll see it implementing tic tac toe. The tool works by basically sending a screenshot of your diagram to GPT4 and saying “implement this”.
> a glorifed container for third-party solutions, it's just a small jump...

This is the open question. I myself have wondered why WordPress still hasn't been replaced in any substantial way.
I wouldn't really characterize it that way. You (ideally) shouldn't be hitting code paths in production that you didn't ever hit in testing.

But, in any case, if you are fine with the slight performance hit (though many C/C++ projects are not), you can always just keep assertions enabled in production.
> A mechanical diesel will run basically whatever you can pump through its fuel system. I assume jet engines are roughly the same.

This is very much not the case. They run on kerosene which is highly refined and pure. It has a lower freezing point, higher flash point and lower viscosity, which are obviously positive characteristics when flying in -45C temps high in the atmosphere.
I struggle with this sometimes. There is a part of me that cares greatly about "legacy" and would really like to accomplish something significant in my lifetime... something that will be remembered, something that will matter.

But.

I am reminded that, over sufficiently long time scales, no one is remembered. There is no such thing as "legacy", really. As somebody pointed out once: how many people are remembered now from even, say, the last 2500 years? Alexander the Great, and, uh... maybe a handful more. But will even Alexander the Great, or Napoleon, or Genghis Khan, or Albert Einstein, or Ramanujan, or Marie Curie, or $INSERT_CELEBRITY_HERE be remembered in another 2000 years? 10,000? 100,000? 2 million? 10 million? It seems likely (assuming the human race even persists that long) that we're all forgotten in the end.

So I dunno. I still go back and forth in my own mind about whether or not "legacy" is even worth caring about or not.
Indulgences became increasingly popular in the Middle Ages as a reward for displaying piety and doing good deeds . . . . With the permission of the church, indulgences also became a way for Catholic rulers to fund expensive projects, such as Crusades and cathedrals, by keeping a significant portion of the money raised from indulgences in their lands.

I hate it with engineers complain moan and drag their feet on implementations that are hard but worth it. Because really under the surface they just don’t like doing something new, even if it has clearly defined user and business value.
Oh this is specifically for game streaming!

There might be some real analysis hidden in there, but this is clearly deeply biased by the author’s ideological lens and no attempt to shore up its thesis with facts rather than rhetoric.
Not to belittle 30,000 casualties (terrible still), if this is the death toll in 23 years, which is based on Hammas reported number, includes "militants" (terrorists) and many other deaths, and all while fighting in a very densely populated area against a group using civilians as human shields: the Israeli death machine is doing a very poor job.

Edit: I looked at this source closer, this is a random blog by an obvious biased source (general credibility aside). Using pictures of Palestinians in the header, saying that there's strong evidence that Israel is behind the bombing at the hospital parking lot, and still claiming that there were ~500 casualties there. Again, going back to the lame death machine argument: on one hand Israel is bad and using precise bombs that take down building, but on the other they somehow attacked a hospital parking lot with a weak bomb that caused little to no damage? Nevermind the ample evidence to the contrary of these claims, just this should give you a hint by how unlikely it is.

> It's the combination of high tech and lowlife, the grungy city streets, the street food, the rain, and the urban East Asian elements.

I would argue that none of those elements make anything cyberpunk :) The cyberpunk genre (per my understanding) involves elements of technology, its effect and force on human life, and the pushback against those effects and forces. There has to be some "punk" for something to be cyberpunk, I think. So necessarily some subversive elements, motfis or themes that challenge a greater power or status quo. That said, I also find it disheartening that cyberpunk is often imagined as dystopian or hypersexualized, that's all very trite tbh.
so, with whisper you can generate "live" subtitles from audio? so you can just play a movie in VLC and have your own generated subtitles? that would be cool

only from English?

and what about a translation from English to another language?
Here's my answer when I asked chatgpt.

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there wasn't a specific offline version of GPT-3 or ChatGPT available for public use. GPT-3 and similar models developed by OpenAI require significant computational resources, and they are typically accessed through OpenAI's API, which requires an internet connection.

However, if you're looking for offline alternatives for natural language processing or chatbot functionality, you might consider smaller, locally deployable models. Some options include:

Rasa NLU and Rasa Core: Rasa is an open-source conversational AI platform that allows you to build your own chatbots. It can be deployed locally and is not dependent on an internet connection.

ChatterBot: ChatterBot is a Python library that makes it easy to generate automated responses to user input. It can be used offline for creating simple chatbots.

SpaCy: While not a chatbot framework per se, SpaCy is a popular natural language processing library in Python. You can use it for tasks such as text tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and named entity recognition.

AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language): AIML is an XML-based language for creating chatbots. There are several AIML interpreters available that can be used offline.

Keep in mind that while these alternatives can provide basic chatbot functionality offline, they may not match the sophistication and complexity of large-scale language models like GPT-3, especially when it comes to understanding context and generating coherent responses. Additionally, developments in AI and natural language processing may have occurred since my last update, so it's a good idea to check for the latest information.
Waffles moved from fm to ch a while back. It also had a fake forum login in the early days. Not sure when it died though.

I remember people trying to get into FTN and others too that were known to be very exclusive - not sure if any of those are still around.
A popular and reasonably affordable option that I used for years is the Kinesis brand (I used a Freestyle 2).

I don't really have ergo problems like other people though, and a regular 10 key Filco Majestouch 2 is my daily driver now. But I did like the Freestyle when I used it. It's worthwhile to get the angular stand kit that is an addon when you buy it (I believe it cost an extra $30 USD or so when I got it, but that was years ago)
