>2 prominent Google competitors really hurting from self inflicted wounds this week

I've heard it said that Musk has had an even better week, for the reasons you mentioned plus the Starship launch.
"strict compensations policies" and "pay bands" are imaginary hurdles and constraints that corporations put up to control personnel costs.

They can and will totally ignore them, when it benefits them directly. They will also easily find a way to explain why that was okay in case A, but won't be in case B.
Don't they already have something ~like skyhook? I think Location Services can already pinpoint you without cellular.
> But considering where it came from and their politics

> unconcerned with pushing a narrative or making BS 'more inclusive' which is really another view on affirmative action

For what it's worth: I am conservative, right-wing, as opposed to "affirmative action" as it is possible to be—and I love Rust. Don't judge the language by the politics of a tiny section of its community, judge it on the technical merits.
In some ways I can only agree, having criticised others for apparently doing the same thing. I guess the difference is that it was completely bloody unnecessary to waste enormous amounts of bandwidth for the cost of just a little bit of basic checking. For me individually, bandwidth is virtually free, for others it is metered (not everywhere has Western-levels of Internetz). But bandwidth is not free – multiply up 49.2 MB by a number of expected page visits.

So, as a matter of principle we need to stop acting as if resources are free. Also if the author couldn't even get that simple HTML detail right then it potentially says something about the quality of his site's information. Perhaps.
Or both, as would be most consistent with the Terminator reference.

At this point one wonders if there isn't some secret regulation that classifies computers as some kind of weapon and maybe these surveillance technologies aren't appearing in consumer devices, even being pushed on consumers by the media, as a random happenstance?

Honestly, um, no. Like I get where you’re coming from and I used to consider it good advice. But my approach these days is to just keep my mouth shut.
Even those afflicted with Musk Derangement Syndrome would have to consider Musk's ownership stakes in his companies. So, no.

To put another way, there is a better chance that Musk is the next OpenAI CEO.

You're misrepresenting the medical literature. It is not abnormal for children to form memories of highly personal events at that age.
Every article I've read about the TSA's program included the journalist either being denied an alternative to the facial recognition process or being pressured to do it. In an environment where being late for a plane could cost people their travel plans, coercion is pretty easy.
I am 14 and this is deep.
What a confusingly-written article.

The 1:1 case is not too unreasonable, if you ask me. Store a cryptographically signed photo on a chip in the ID card, and the machine can compare that to the real-life human presented. There are obviously drawbacks with biases in the comparison algorithm, but that's not really any worse than a human doing the same. From a privacy perspective it's not too bad - provided they delete their copy of the photo after the card is issued. This isn't any different from having the photo printed on the ID card, if you ask me.

The 1:many case, on the other hand, is a bit of a problem. This requires the creation of a mass database with everyone's pictures in it. The privacy implications are obviously enormous, as it would also enable the identification of previously-anonymous people "in the wild".

And then there's obviously the issue that it simply cannot possibly work on a larger scale: with a 1:1 comparison you have to look for a close-enough match of a single picture pair, but with a 1:many comparison you have to identify one person out of millions of possible matches. There needs to be some lenience in the matching (people use makeup and get rhinoplasties) but people's faces already look quite similar - once you get to the million-people scale, there are pretty much guaranteed to be some false positive matches in there!
love the deep dive here
That doesn’t make sense. You mean companies like Microsoft and business types like Altman don’t want to release infra to the public. Microsoft and Altman may hide under the guise of “it’s not safe to share this stuff” but they’re intent is capital gain not safety.

True safety believers understand that safety comes from a general understanding by everyone and audit-able infra otherwise you have no transparency about the potential dangers.

Releasing the tech is only unsafe to those trying to create platform lock-in. By releasing it FOSS you equalize the playing field and destroy Altman’s billions.
I agree with your point here. It is unclear to me how "lack of sleep" was derived from your initial comment. I'm hoping wiseowise can expand upon their mostly generic comment to clear the confusion.
>This argument is so weak. Housing is unlike those other items in that it's both by far most households' largest expense

that's reflected in the CPI basket construction. "Rent of shelter" which includes rent and OER makes up 34.8% of the CPI basket.

that's also factored in because they sample prices according to where people actually are. They're not taking prices across 50 states and doing a simple average.

Tethering on macOS is super easy, your phone is just in the list of WiFi access points at the top. Not any harder than picking a WiFi AP. Kinda prefer being in the loop here since cellular data is usually metered - and as another post said, it's also nice to have a single plan instead of dealing with separate billing.
I look to my grandparents' generation and what they could do.

My grandfather was an engineer for NASA from the 60's-80's. They were able to have a primary residence in Houston and 2 holiday homes around Texas and put 3 kids through college on a modest single income.

Could I do the same today on a modest engineering salary from a government agency? No way.
> I believe many of the ransoms are negotiated way down.

LockBit just did a sort of collective bargaining with affiliate groups that resulted in guidance for setting initial ransom amounts and rules restricting discounts about 50%.
I don't see how that's the case with the TSA's program. It really sounds like you present your ID and a boarding pass and that's it.
That seems more likely to be because that design was bad rather than that the concept is bad.
I'm not sure about the legality and ethics of training models on stolen data, but for reference, but so far as I can tell the Enron email data set is about 1.5GB (much lower than I expected to be honest!).

And I believe some of the more interesting things found in that data set (outside of the fraud) were people cheating on their partners.

I'm at Google, I 100% agree with this. Also her paper was garbage. You can maybe get away with being a self righteous prick or an outright asshole if you are brilliant, but it's clear by reading her work she didn't fall into that category.

Hm, ok, I was under the distinct impression that some of the early employees of OpenAI were stock holders in the entity in the middle.

I base that on the graph on this page:

https://openai.com/our-structure

Specifically this graph:

https://images.openai.com/blob/f3e12a69-e4a7-4fe2-a4a5-c63b6...

Now it may be that I got this completely wrong but it looks to me as though there is an ownership relationship (implying stock is involved) between the entity labelled 'Employees and other investors' and the holding company.
The slippery slope argument is a pet peeve of mine. It is a real, valid concern - in fact when this strategy works people often switch to calling it boiling the frog, which is not usually contested for some reason (even though it is the same thing)

Slowly making changes is a normal strategy at this point, saying anything less than the worst case is a "slippery slope" is no longer relevant imo. It is a valid risk that should at the very least be a point of discussion
I was obsessed with becoming a fighter pilot from ages 8-20 or so. The Air Force Academy didn’t pan out and I didn’t make the cut for Officer Training School out of college.

I’m a senior SE now and love my job, get paid well, and have lots of freedom to explore interests and hobbies. I think I came out on top. Also, I don’t like heights so I reckon it all worked out for the best.

As a matter of principle, those in bandwidth-constrained situations should be browsing via proxies or browsers that automatically compress, such as Opera Mobile back in the day, or Google’s more modern compression baked in to Android/Chrome. (If it still exists, it’s been awhile…) That said… yeah, it couldn’t hurt to put a free CloudFlare CDN in front with automatic image optimization, for example.
Yeah, I (well, she) had this experience entering the US with a non-American girlfriend, 10+ years ago. She was pulled aside, grilled, treated terribly, and emerged in tears 30+ minutes later. It really made me angry, because it's not as effective _security_-wise as what we were used to flying the other way. Immigration agents at Heathrow were generally so polite and accommodating (eg, let me go through the EU citizens path, when we were traveling together), that I typically revealed more about my travel plans than I probably _had_ to, and / or may have been wise. It's dumb and self-defeating, and should be a source of shame for all USA-ians.

Definition of resulting code as _deeply_ imperative was crucial in my phrase.

The only «sine qua non» optimization through opportunistic mutablity is AFAIK tail call optimization. But it is probably too well-known to call it «clever optimization» in 2023.

But, for example, applying a function to a list will produce the code allocating new list in, say, OCaml and Haskell, at least by default. And Roc will produce the code for mutating the list in-place _from the source code with the same semantic_ (see example for the Quicksort algorithm in the video above).

Compile-time lifetime analysis (that probably is not needed at all in functional languages with GC) and widely used unboxed values are way not common in functional language implementations. For example, in OCaml those features are still experimental (and probably never will be used by default, as in Roc).
Do people still really use the Youtube web site or official clients? They have done everything in their power to ruin the user experience in favor of guiding you to promoted content. Endless vlogs of people reviewing products. "Content" that's just somebody walking around and eating. And it's been a while since they changed the search function, now you get a few results, then an infinite scroll of promoted videos most of which aren't even vaguely close to what you searched for.

These days I can still find videos quickly and easily with DDG, which is vastly superior to Youtube itself for searching Youtube. But I worry, this will be taken away some day by Google just like everything else.
I don’t understand how any chess puzzle could be hard for a computer. Don’t most chess puzzles stipulate a condition like “checkmate in 3 moves”? Doesn’t that sufficiently limit the search space so that a computer can just brute force the solution? The article doesn’t give any specific examples of chess problems that are hard for computers.
Amazing and terrifying. And nobody in tech gives a shit at all about this story, too busy with the petty drama over at OpenAI.
You keep drawing dichotomies that I don't hold.

The choices of language are not exhausted by "deception" and "computing bug". Both those words are your invention.

I wouldn't even call this behavior a bug at all, since, as I pointed out in my original comment, it's a design characteristic of these systems to replicate the kind of material fed into them as training data, and the output we're seeing here correctly manifests that.

Do you really think the only way to say "Don't use ChatGPT where strict adherence is essential because it's not that kind of system" is to say that the text generator may "deceived" someone, with all of the secondary implications that the word choice suggests? You can't conceive that there are any other metaphors and word choices that might both be more accurate and point in more fruitful research directions?

We think for a high proportion of routes 50 seats for hydrogen electric propulsion. We heard from a major airline that their network planners always want a smaller plane, for flexibility and a high load factor and the fleet planners always want a large plane for lower CASM and fewer aircraft, that tension has basically landed on the single-aisle size (180-200 seats) for most routes with conventional propulsion. But this changes with the technology as different cost drivers have different rates of change with seat count.
A good indicative document is https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20160007749/downloads/20..., this is asking "if you were to serve the market with only one plane, how many seats should it have?"
I’m sure it might happen. But it hasn’t happened yet.

You might want to think less about the machine and more about your detergent. Detergent recipes have changed over the years, and they are not as effective as they used to be.
Okay, but on the other hand my parent poster made the claim that you'd need a salary of well over 300k to get an above-40% effective tax rate, and I notice that you don't seem to have taken issue with him. This feels like an isolated demand for rigor.

The person who set off this thread made no claim to be a typical Berlin developer, he just said that he paid 42% taxes, and someone challenged that claim. If everyone's being super careful about using very precise language, fine, but that needs to be everyone being super careful about using very precise language, not just people you disagree with.
But we're not talking about getting information and keeping it but actually making it public. One doesn't get much leverage that way so the only real aim would seem to be damaging the target.

> So please tip your delivery rider. I always did before, but now I tip even better.

No. Jesus. Stop tipping everywhere, entirely. It’s a broken system that should have been abolished ages ago.

Fair enough. but out of curiosity how much of those emissions are strictly down to EVs?

Because to me it seems emissions went down to tougher broader environmental policies, especially on coal, rather than just people buying EVs now, as ICE cars were only 9% share of emissions anyway, yet people tend act as if they're the main culprit for it.
If you didn't have this level of price discrimination, wouldn't general ticket prices be more expensive? Why not a title of "Airline tickets have become cheaper through pricing efficiency."

I think the bigger racket is loyalty programs, which are anti-competitive and give people a personal kickback for spending company money. It's not much different than a bribe.
I think if this was all rational self-interest, a lot of this would never have happened. It's precisely because OpenAI isn't governed by a board appointed by investors that we have such consequences.
The point was that ~~EV~~ bus manufacturing is definetly not free of emissions. Operating busses is definitely not free from emissions either.

The point was that ~~EV~~ train manufacturing is definetly not free of emissions.

Buying an EV instead of an ICE reduces net emissions. Riding the bus instead of buying an EV reduces emissions more, but it is still not zero. Should more people ride the bus? Sure! But I'm not in charge of my city's planning, I can't make them buy more busses and hire more drivers.

I bought an EV when a family member was needing a cheap car, so I sold them my old cheap ICE. I was probably going to buy a new car anyways, so its not like I went out and crushed my ICE and dropped it in the lake and then suddenly willed a new EV into existence creating new emissions. A car was going to get built, I was going to buy one.
You can usually edit the tip amount after delivery though. If I have a terrible delivery (driver picks up wrong order, etc), I no longer hesitate to edit the tip down after the fact on Doordash.
For a value of "fine" that includes search being fundamentally broken and every website that includes Google Tag Manager being significantly slower than it really should be, presumably.

Talking about hetzner, they write you an image on a USB-Stick and put it in your Server (at no cost). Since it's a real server i don't need any "native" support from them. Otherwise Oracle-Cloud or Vultr.

But you are right, it's sad that hetzner dropped the "webinstall no hands-on" support.
> then some podcasting services (looking at you, Spotify and others...) decided to force us to use our browser or some app instead of giving us the freedom to download files for offline use

Podcasts are pretty simple, and those services you're talking about aren't podcasts—nor is anything else that keeps you from downloading files like that (say, for transcoding and then dumping into/onto your player to listen to it how you want). It's not even as if insisting that people not say "podcast" when talking about something that clearly isn't one leaves us without a way to talk about them.

In the first place, "podcast" is not a genre label. There are tons of (actual) podcasts that don't follow the unscripted-banter-plus-question-and-answer/interview format.

And in the second place, all those things that do stop you from downloading them? Yeah, we have a word you can use already: they're just "shows".
> All companies and governments should take the stance that any randomwared or compromised data is now public.

That's a somewhat reasonable stance. You definitely have no guaranteed assurance that it won't be leaked. However... depending on what you do have set up, you may have some reasons to believe that 45GB of encrypted data has not left your internal network (i.e. was only encrypted-in-place)

> And if they don't have the backups, then they should consider it permanently lost.

That's easy to say but way harder in practice. If the data in question is the design artifacts from a billion dollar project... it'd be a pretty hard sell to convince everyone "woops, we fucked up, billion dollars gone, time to close the doors and go home, we definitely shouldn't consider paying $500k or $1M or whatever they want to get all this data back".

Is it also the case that the anti-war Germans who joined the Nazi regime were in a unique position to help guide Germany in as benign direction as possible? If not, what is the difference between the "safe AI" person who decides to join OpenAI and the anti-war, anti-racist German who decides to get a job in the Nazi government or military?
