No offense but how about bothering to finish Alternative Style Sheet selection?

<link href="css.css" rel="stylesheet" title="Default Style" />
<link href="a.css" rel="alternate stylesheet" title="light" />
<link href="b.css" rel="alternate stylesheet" title="dark" />

Or is this not precisely the same thing?

edit: with finish I mean use this for light/dark mode and fix it so that the preference chosen by the user is not immediately discarded after navigation. One doesn't discard user selected preferences. It is not done.

Great idea, can you leverage other people's computers too?
I have that same problem, the advanced features I use too little to remember. Then I started working on a configuration language that should have a non-surprising syntax (json superset, mostly inspired by Python, Rust, Nix). And it turns out, this works well as a query language for querying json documents. https://github.com/ruuda/rcl Here is an example use case: https://fosstodon.org/@ruuda/111120049523534027

My grandmother made it to 98, she rode horses when she was a younger woman (in Australia during the war, she was able to follow my grandfather who was an RAF mechanic out there on the last passenger ship through the Suez).

She used to enjoy a tipple, never smoked though, but in her later years never really exercised.

There’s a difference between a true monopoly and first mover advantage. There is competition in AI, it’s just behind.

I agree on the risk of building on them, but then again any business has its risks.

My main point was that some of these first AI startups built on Open AI were always going to be eaten by them because the put themselves in the way of open AIs roadmap. I don’t believe the Amazon comparison yet, although they may eventually go down the copycat path. But many of these startups that were recently made obsolete were just trying to piggyback on the real innovation that is the GPTss.

I’m very happy with GPT 4 and the newest updates, it’s a great tool for me.

Disruption will always been painful for some and the frothyness around AI and fear of missing out is making people a little more cynical than is healthy, IMO.
For me it's not worth the effort to self-host, plus figuring out SPF, DKIM etc. Not being included in a blacklist because your server's IP address is on the range of a spammer... I use Mailfence for a couple of emails with my own domains, works well

There is a brain washing machine operating in the University of Oulu.

>The operation of FUS LiFu is based on low-intensity, focused ultrasound. The device allows for the temporary opening of the blood-brain barrier and the delivery of water-soluble drugs to the precise location in the brain. Combining FUS technology with the specialized expertise in Oulu, the ultra-fast functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), opens up entirely new possibilities in brain disease research.

Wow, that’s a really sad situation. Must be difficult for you. Good luck buddy, will be awaiting to see you build your own model.
America had total control of Japan following their surrender, and the time/power/resources to rebuild Japan as they saw fit (which was to become an eastern bulwark of capitalist freedom, against China and Russia).

Bombing Cambodia had the much more cynical purpose of convincing Ho Chi Min that Nixon was an unrestrained madman whose demands in peace talks had to be surrendered to, to avoid further mindless devastation for all involved. Yes, it was more complicated in the details, but pretty damn clear in the larger picture.
There's been a fair amount of research into hooking up LLMs with the ability to call APIs, browse the web, and even control robots, no? The barrier between planning and doing is not a hard one.

As for cost and risk -- ask GPT-5 how to minimize it. As Nathan said in his thread, it's not about this generation, it's about the next generation of models.

A key question is whether the control problem gets more difficult as the model gets stronger. GPT-4 appears to be self-aware and passing the mirror test: https://nitter.net/AISafetyMemes/status/1729206394547581168#...

I really don't know how to interpret that link, but I think there is a lot we don't understand which is going on in those billions of parameters. Understanding it fully might be just as hard as understanding the human brain.

I'm concerned that at some point in the training process, we will stumble across a subset of parameters which are both self-aware and self-interested, too. There are a lot of self-interested people in the world. It wouldn't be surprising if the AI learns to do the sort of internal computation that a self-interested person's brain does -- perhaps just to make predictions about the actions of self-interested people, at first. From there it could be a small jump to computations which are able to manipulate the model's training process in order to achieve self-preservation. (Presumably, the data which the model is trained on includes explanations of "gradient descent" and related concepts.)

This might sound far-fetched by the standard of the current model generation. But we're talking about future generations of models here, which almost by definition will exhibit more powerful intelligence and manifest it in new unexpected ways. "The model will be much more powerful, but also unable to understand itself, self-interest, or gradient descent" doesn't quite compute.

As the sibling comment points out the 777 has mechanically linked yokes. The 787 does too. With the Air France go around, the pilots were pulling hard enough that the mechanical connection between the yokes was broken. Both pilots continued to provide contradictory inputs.

On an Airbus this would trigger a "dual input" annunciator, and there's a "priority takeover" button that would lock out one set of controls.

On the Boeing once the torque tube splits each yoke controls one side of the aircraft.

The synchronization and feedback intuitively seem like a good idea, but the reality is that at the point where you need to notice that the other pilot is doing something wrong you're already up shit creek and you're no more likely to notice an increase in force required to move the yoke than you are an annunciator. Linked controls aren't a substitute for CRM.
Yeah they're still around Mamod makes a bunch of static engines that run on spirits, and can power small things. They're pretty commonly available either new, or used, and most of them will last forever.

I used to collect steam-engines, and had fun repairing them and maintaining them until a cross-country move meant I lost most of my collection.

I still have the Mamod Roadster, which is a cute little car powered by steam (not my video):

My attempt to run it with the my VS 2022 dev console and a newly downloaded CUDA installation ended in flames as the compilation stopped with "error limit reached", followed by it defaulting to a CPU run.

Yea, it seems really weird that he and others can just form a non-profit and then later have it own a for-profit with the full intention of turning everything into a for-profit enterprise. Seems like tax evasion and a few other violations of what a non-profit is supposed to be.

He did apologize for his remarks. I'm not sure what else you expect. Do you want him to prostate himself in front of the world? Self-flagellate, perhaps?

All he saying in this interview is that he simply does not care if his remarks are the reason advertisers want to leave, in essence drawing a boundary between the discourse on Twitter and advertiser presence. He is making a clear statement that Twitter will not change its policies to appease advertisers, even if it means running at a loss.

I think it that is a perfectly reasonable thing to say, even if you don't agree with Musk's politics or X's policies.

We're not talking about random changes. We're talking about paying attention to the measured performance of changes made for other reasons.

Just like in this article. The author measured, wondered, investigated, experimented, and finally, after a lot of hard work, made the C/Rust programs faster. You wouldn't call that luck, would you? If there had been a similar performance regression in CPython, then a benchmark could have picked up on it, and the CPython developers would then have done the same.

This was not an anonymised vote giving the chance to safely support what you believe free from interference... this was to declare for the King or the Revolution knowing that if don't choose who prevails, you will be executed. It becomes a measure of which direction the people believe the wind is blowing rather than a moral judgement. Power becomes about how a minority can coerce/cajole the impression of inevitability not the merit of their arguments.

I will be curious to hear the inside story once the window of retribution has passed. Unions hold proper private ballots not this type of suss politicking.

>However this article shows that Lexus owners perceive their cars to be more reliable than Toyota owners.

Maybe they get better maintenance than their Toyota cousins on average?

BMW often ranks high but there's a bias when asking a BMW owner -who often likes cars- how good their car is, compared to a Dacia owner who often just needs to get from A to B and see a car as strictly transport.
That is right, but in Firefox it's a different, better feature. The different web contexts don't have to be tied to a user, you can create as many as you'd like, even programmatically, and they all live in the same window (or in as many windows as you'd like). It's a killer feature for Firefox, and something that's not found in other browsers.
Hi there. GrapheneOS community moderator here.

GrapheneOS is a security and privacy project, and puts significant effort into advancing both. Security is a prerequisite for privacy, and getting that right is extremely important, but all of that is exactly so that you can then safeguard privacy.

GrapheneOS has many features which are heavily towards the "privacy" side of the scale, rather than the security one. Features such as Storage and Contact scopes are features which allow you to preserve privacy by granting apps just the information you need, instead of giving them bulk access to your data. The network permission is as much as a privacy feature as it is a security feature. Being able to deny sensors access from apps so that they can't access them is a privacy feature etc.

I'm mentioning the above because it seems like people tend to split security and privacy into completely different camps in a way that doesn't make sense. Those two things play off each other, and one needs the other to be effective. GrapheneOS focuses on both.

I hope that helps make things a bit more clear!
I mean, there's a sense in which my mind is software that's being run by my brain, right? Yet that doesn't absolve me of moral responsibility.

In any case, an F16 fighter jet is amoral in a certain sense, but it wouldn't be smart to make F16s available to the average Joe so he can conduct an airstrike whenever he wants.

No, he's right. If you're interested, read about the Prius e-CVT transmission. It's pretty amazing.

Essentially, it connects the ICE and two different electric motors to the same drive shaft. By spinning the electric motor forwards, backwards or using it as a generator, it can regulate torque going to the wheels for a wide band of RPM. At the same time, torque and RPM coming out of the ICE are kept in a much smaller band.

But yes, the ICE is still directly connected to the wheels.

Consumer Report is an American organization and they only report on cars sold here, so no Renault (not sold in USA) nor European Golf in the list.
I agree. 3 year reliability is not 10 year reliability. After 3 years the car should be "broken in" and should then be good to go for another decade. Something that is deemed unreliable after 3 years is total and utter shit.

I think it's easier to get the answer you are looking for yourself: Just look outside and tally the number of old cars you see, and which models they are. That's your answer.

If you are considering buying an older car, but you rarely see it on the road, you have your answer as to whether it'll be a reliable car or not.

>Steel is interesting, because it's thousands of years old, yet wasn't mass produced until the 1890s.

Thank you for your succinct summation of this complex point. I've been fascinated by the history of technology for as long as I can remember, but as a kid, even a teenager, steel drove me nuts. On the one hand, there were lots of sources talking about the late 19th Century as the time when steel emerged, but there were equally as many references mentioning Chinese steel, Indian steel or Damascus steel thousands or hundreds of years ago. It took me a long time (until, in the pre-internet era, I had access to a college library) to get a good picture of steel's place over time.
I agree.

1. A group of highly skilled people voluntarily associating with each other

2. in an organization working on potentially world-changing moonshot technology,

3. born of and accelerated by the liquidity of the free market

4. with said workers having stake in the success of that organization

is very American. We should ponder the reasons why, time and time again, it has been the US "system" that has produced the overwhelming number of successes in such ventures across all industries, despite the attempts of many other nations to replicate these results in their own borders.
I mean, they build Teslas don't they? The IP goes around. Cheap/forced labour and half command economy definitely help.

But it's long not the "buy the cheapest and of good quality anymore" world, considerations like "whom am I working with / contributing to" are a factor
You can't libel the dead
Non-profit just means there are no stakeholders, meaning that revenue must be used for the organization's expenses, which includes the compensation of employees and growth. Many non-profits also benefit from tax-exemptions.

Assuming anything more than that about the nature of non-profits is just romantic BS that has nothing to do with reality.

Also, there's nothing wrong with wanting to make a profit.

> women will never be "just like men".

They won't as long as you use a 1980's dictionary as a guideline. Use the 2023 Cambridge Dictionary and suddenly a woman is, among other things [1]:

- an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth

Suddenly 'women' can not only be 'just like men', they can be men.

As to the retort that "language evolves, get over it" I'll state that this is certainly true - language evolves - but not applicable here since this is not an example of language evolution but language revolution or revolutionary language. The movement to push these tropes started in the Humanities departments where language is the tool of choice. It is hard to win a battle if your opponent is in control of the armoury so make sure not to allow them this access - do not use revolutionary language. This is why pre-2000's paper copies of dictionaries and encyclopedias are worth keeping around.
