That description of the state of the media today vs. yesterday is so grossly oversimplified it leads you to the wrong conclusions about people's perceptions of why asking ChatGPT is often more valuable than asking Google.

Studying political polarization in the US, the end of the Cold War, globalization, the end of the fairness doctrine, the evolution of major media ownership over time, social media algorithms, echo chambers and confirmation bias is left as a starting exercise for the reader.
At the same time larger vehicles generally have a better engine size to capacity ratio, so if you don’t want to pillage the earth for raw earths, lithium, cobalt etc. then large vehicles are still good.
> everything is pure upside, wealth generated out of thin air.

Isn't this also how companies perceive job cuts and wage reduction? Forget about Henry Ford's idea of having a population that can actually afford to buy your products, just keep cutting labor costs.

Edit: Or stock buybacks. Just as long as "the line goes up" for now doesn't matter if you run the whole ship into the ground in the future.
This was a flaw in the original AlphaGo, but the subsequent AlphaZero (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaZero) trained entirely from self play with no prior information. So essentially it _does_ build fundamental understanding.

I think the ability to learn by self play (essentially in a closed room without external training data) is where the line between "fundamental understanding" and "regurgitating information" from these AIs lie.
It’s not all or nothing.

Most of negative sentiment is not “world would be better without chatgpt“, but “one must be very cautious and always validate the answer”.

It’s valuable tool, but it has a LOT of hype, which led to things like people trusting chatgpt output in a court case.
No it isn't.

It's an implementation detail, and relying on those for functionality is a great way of getting ones code to break.

The nice thing is that there is now an advertised set of features to protect against state actors in the form of Advanced Data Protection, Lockdown mode and (soon) iMessage Contact Key Verification.

These all have significant usability impacts; I think Apple still has the correct defaults.

Finally, my understanding is that recovery keys are escrowed in a HSM separate from cloud hosting, and releasing an escrowed key is an audited event. My concern is mostly about actors accessing my data or surveilling me without transparency, as that gives no chance for accountability.
Fair enough, "additional" is an opposite of "fewer." I'll concede "more" is also.

> The opposite of few maybe many

"Maybe" is an adverb. Perhaps you meant "may be?" :)
I hadn’t properly calculated how much my e bike saves in energy and oil until now. I always think of it in terms of maintenance reduced and fuel not consumed with the car I already own… But at this point it has completely prevented the purchase of second vehicle.

I bet it’s the same for many people like me. I guess I’m around year 3 of not needing a second car. In fact, I bought a home with a two car garage because I anticipate needing a second car… But not yet, and probably not in the foreseeable future.

It’s strange to think of. That happened very organically. I always had the expectation of needing the second car, but because of this cargo bike, I’ve found ways to avoid it. I always thought it was expensive ($7k CAD) but now I feel like it was really, really cheap.

I guess my car-centric brain didn’t believe I could actually avoid the second vehicle. There’s sacrifice for sure, it’s not a perfect replacement, but it’s a great one. I hope this trend continues.
I'm pretty sure it's literally impossible? I suspect RCS, just like SMS needs some special telecom interaction.
No, that is not average, maybe in high COL areas, but that obviously would then not be average.
As hypotheticals, sure they did. As they had for nuclear first strikes, again, bith sides.
If you want to increase the likelihood that answers will read like Wikipedia entries, sure.
A bike ride is much more invigorating than driving the car. I feel much better after even a short bike ride. No similar benefit from driving a car.
It doesn’t have to be big car manufactures though. In fact there are already many golf cart manufactures which can drive on roads with speed limits lower than 40 (or something like that. In CA)

Most cities now have 40+ limit roads though which makes it impractical or impossible to use them. A tweak to that law would make them viable. Also, brand new they are like $10k

This is the part you’re underestimating. The language->intent stuff is not solved but it’s long been “good enough” for basic tasks. The long-tail of integrating with other services is hard and not improved by better AI (unless you have some clever new ideas).

Maintaining the actual logic that lets Alexa talk to hundreds of APIs is very human-intense even if it’s not hard.

I was surprised that you were. What you're describing is inevitable.
Divide and conquer actually does seem to be the strategy. Each department within the DoD does its own audit, and a few of those departments actually have passed. But most of them have failed with a few still ongoing.

The bigger issue is the no political will part. If congress mandated that senior pentagon officials lose their jobs when they fail an audit they would get the process figured out really quickly. As is there's no urgency because there are no consequences for failure.
People who think their will be this mass migration away from personal cars once buses, trains, and bike paths are everywhere are completely delusional.
I feel like "gazing" is a better choice than "staring" without losing too much of the humanistic sense of it. It is a little uncomfortable. It's supposed to be. That's okay because we are all human.

True, but in the past couple months, I've probably typed out 10+ truly complicated issues to ChatGPT and arrived at a solution before I ever pressed enter... just because I took the time to explain them in proper prose.
How does that even work? I am, and should be, free to not show up to work for any reason I choose. If I'm legally required to work, isn't that forced labor?

This implies that, if CPython differs from that specification in any way, it is not, in fact, Python. What have I been using all these years, I wonder?
To some extent yes, but marketplace cuts help further incentivize investment in those things.

This can be seen in the difference in the rate those things improved between when macOS was the flagship platform and when iOS took that crown. All of that sped up dramatically after the App Store really took off, with AppKit largely getting left in the dust compared to its iOS counterpart UIKit and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
AFAIK the standard economic opinion is that this is suboptimal and leads to underinvestment.

Keeping a Practice Log
My grocery store is a 7m ride along a regional bike trail, fully protected both ways. It beats a car any day, and it’s actually faster because the bike trail basically bee-lines to the store.

It’s awesome. One of those lame things you get excited about as an adult.

My vacuum cleaner works really well and I can ride my bike to the grocery store. I’ve truly made it.
Our goal in backing Ukraine was to keep Ukrainians from being dead, or worse. And if you don't think there's such a thing as "worse", you weren't keeping up with the news from towns that the Russians took over.

It wasn't about weakening Russia. Russia is weakening itself, by putting so much of its economy and infrastructure into a fight that it can't win even with a much smaller opponent. It has destroyed its own army and demonstrated the inadequacy of its military technology.

It is, indeed, sad that the US has not solved its own homelessness and other problems. But pearl-clutching about that is just Russian trolling: we hadn't solved those problems before Russia attacked, either. And when Russia finally gives up in humiliation, we'll still have our own domestic problems. But not nearly as bad as the overwhelming incompetence, corruption, and horror of Putin's monstrosity.
Many of those complexities come with accepting donations too.
I wouldn't call them "frame sizes" for ATM or DSL. It's a bit of a transparent fragmentation into "cells" onto the "transport" layer. It could carry arbitrary "frame" sizes on that

How did you handle that?

I finally got a traditional agent just to field the phone calls.
I was approached once by a company that claimed to have an MIT-developed (or perhaps Bell Labs, it was a decade ago) fingerprinting technology that could recognize music or ad jingles in a fraction of the CPU required by Shazam. They wanted us to embed their mobile SDK into ours so they could track what people listen to what ads. Needless to say, we told them to take a hike, but I'm sure there are others that accepted the pitch. The apps embedding this may not even know. Fortunately microphone access now requires explicit permission.
In my home town we already had several pedestrians badly injured, and one killed by a "small" motorized vehicle driving on sidewalks, back in 2012.

The same driver was involved in all of the incidents, she was elderly and the vehicle in question was classified "mobility aid", though it looked just like a small car.

I am adamantly of the opinion that any vehicle that shares trails, sidewalks, etc. with pedestrians MUST be speed-limited to walking speed. That includes mobility chairs, scooters, and similar.

Unfortunately, the handicapped community vehemently opposes such speed limits.
> I’m advocating against burning wood.

Ok, there are many rural properties in the world populated with trees. These trees naturally fall and contribute brush. Firefighters and forest management will tell you to clean up the brush by burning, otherwise it will decompose (still co2) and eventually lead to a natural wildfire (same effect). Better to burn it for heat than outside for nothing. What would you do instead?

Scattered Spider
Maybe, but "de-facto" and "actual" are still not the same, and if I write code that relies on them being the same, then I have only myself to blame when my code breaks.

e.g.; there are C-compilers that usually zero most allocated structures. That's an implementation detail however, not a feature of C. C doesn't guarantee you zeroed memory anywhere, and code that assumes otherwise is just one compilation away from a desaster.
3 years is 9.467e+7 seconds. What percentage of that time would you think she'd have to spend, in order for the title to be accurate?

> What does this "free competition between Apple and Android" is going to do to you? Re-target your game to SWE who are more likely to have Androids?

It's worse than that. Suppose you have an app where neither of the platforms has a disproportionate share of the users -- they're evenly split. Now one of the platforms makes trouble for you. They want to ban you, or impose unreasonable restrictions, or charge high fees. Can you switch to the other one? Pit them against each other?

No, because the other one can't reach those users. It's not like having a Walmart and a Target across the street from each other, where any buyer can trivially switch to the other store if either of them stops carrying the seller's goods. It's like having a Walmart in Florida and a Target in California and if Target kicks you out, there is no other way to reach your customers in California because they're not going to move to Florida just to shop at Walmart.

Calling this "not a monopoly" because Walmart and Target are both operating in the United States is rather missing the issue.

What about Blackrock? Their representatives sit on many boards in a single industry. Same with large VCs. It's not as structured as unions, but each board is not a completely independent entity either.
This isn't true as a blanket statement in the US. There certainly have been, and probably still are, bad union organizations (just like anything else), but that's an indictment if those particular organizations, not unions in general. There are also good ones.
Wow, I'd honestly assumed Rocket was dead. Glad to see it continue! It takes a pretty different approach from the other Rust web frameworks (much more opinionated and all-inclusive), so it's great to have more diversity in the space

Unions are legal and social constructs the same way as, for example, limited liability corporations are.

The impact of organized labor has been analysed a lot - have a look at the literature, it isn't trivial.
I don't know if it's a red flag but it's something that should be followed up on to determine if it's a sign of one. Just like there are situations where containers aren't appropriate there are situations where they most definitely are and a lack of nuance with reservations towards containers from a candidate would be a red flag for me.
What if wiki articles are written using LLMs from now on? That would be "ai incest" if its used as training/ground truth data.

I forsee data created before AI/LLMs to be very valuable going forward in much the same way steel mined before the detonation of the first atomic bomb being used for nuclear devices/MRIs/etc.

Not really, gdp is a snapshot of current activity, but the market cap is a guess of the amount of money the company will throw off in total, adjusted for time and risk.
I switched to Qubes OS as my daily driver way earlier this year and I absolutely love it! It has a couple pain points (it's difficult to get a GPU passed through without tweaks, performance for certain kinds of loads may be suboptimal). It feels really good that the DominationGPT malware will have to break out of Xen to pwn me!

This should be the top comment of this whole article.
> Right, but they currently believe those things for reasons that are inexorably connected to those same policy choices.

Only in the chicken-and-egg sense that policy choices make suburbia prioritized, but I don't think it's enough to say that special policies are what wholly render suburbia quiet and safe (to the extent that if you were to enact the policy change you want, suburbia will still be regarded as such).
worth visiting an old city like Rome. I was shocked by how walkable it was. It was maybe the second night we were there, we causally strolled around after dinner and just happenstance managed to walk by all the major attractions. That's no mistake but honestly when you experience it's so magical. To create a tech analogy I remember the days before Google when search when would have 20 buttons and could take regex and what not. Most people had no idea how to use it and even pros questioned if they were correctly searching so to speak than Google came along and just gave us a box. All that complexity hidden away from us. That was kind of how I felt about Rome. Just wander, you'll get to where you want to go.
I've not heard that claim before today (though it is in the article), but I guess one benefit to the company is that the general population can more easily afford the products the company makes.
There isn't really any difference between self play and no self play in terms of "fundamental understanding" and "regurgitation". It's the same training scheme just with different data.
This list reflects the patterns of thought that get continual transition to the current “best practice” technologies and ballooning cost with no real business value. I would rather know that the firm runs on a twenty year old Perl script orchestrating Common Lisp and COBOL services than hear that it’s “pushing modern languages”
Nit: KataGo does train on handicap games up to 5 handicap stones. In the KataGo write-up "Accelerating Self-Play Learning in Go" from 2020, Appendix D says that KataGo trains on handicap games with up to 3 handicap stones. Looking at the current version of the KataGo code, nowadays it trains with handicap up to 5.
There's no reason to use that term.
I'm sure the folks working on protein folding are losing sleep over role-playing chatbots.

Well, alright so the cost of living in central London is astronomical. But as you say,

> there is no parking in central London anyway so driving to work is not viable.

By "closer to work", I didn't mean you need to buy the house closest to the center of London. I meant you can rent (or buy, if you have the capital) a flat near public transit, or bicycle-friendly infrastructure. Of course these options vary significantly, but even in my car-infested U.S. city there are decent options.

Also, I don't think it's honest to compare the sticker price of a car vs. a house. If you are in the market to buy a house, good for you. But my argument is more along these lines: put the monthly $$$ you would put into a car, into your rent instead. Get the best place you can, and you'll likely be happier than if you lived deep in a suburb. Of course not everyone will agree with this, but I don't think it's entirely unreasonable.
Most people using using streaming video don't require archival support. The source and the internet archive etc can manage the archival part.

I think it's fair to say that if you don't like ELisp, Emacs might be the wrong choice for you. I'm not being elitist, I just think the two are glued together even closer than POSIX and C, and it would be extremely difficult to avoid it.
yeah... wish I thought of that before making myself a target at work (to be fired).
In this context, these are more expert systems vs LLMs, and as you enumerate, they can be built well if built well. For example, Google surfaces search engine results directly. This is similar, but more powerful, because Wikimedia Foundation can actually improve results, gaps, overall performance while Google DGAF.

I would expect as the tide rises with regards to this tech, self hosting of training and providing services to prompts becomes easier. For Wikimedia, it'll just be another cluster and data pipeline system(s) at their datacenter.
Gosh I wonder where they got that idea

"When people are vaccinated, they're not going to get infected" - Fauci

"Emergency uses of the vaccine have not been approved or licensed by US FDA but have been authorized to prevent COVID-19 in ages 5+." - Pfizer Inc.
Less instead of fewer sort of bugs me. But I've even seen less used in The Economist when I would have thought fewer was more correct so I think the answer is it's pedantry at this point. (To be clear, pedantry in the sense that less can be (usually?) substituted for fewer but not the other way around.)
How do you counter pessimism?
> Yes, but extensions have to go through review to be in supported channels, and review will absolutely look at over-entitlement of submitted extensions.

Okay, then Google can use that same review process for apps that request access to the blocking API. If you've decided to trust the review process to ferret out unneeded permissions, then copying Firefox's model and having a `blocking` permission should be fine.

Either way, removing blocking webRequests isn't improving anyone's privacy. The same review process is required that would have been required before, and the same kind of spying is possible when that review process fails.
