Security researchers literally wrote a PoC extension for Chrome, which was in tech news just a few months ago, where the extension was able to steal passwords and form data. So Chrome definitely has a problem with malicious browser extensions, because I can guarantee you that malicious internet users haven't just overlooked that avenue into your computer, and it just goes unaddressed or under-addressed.

Good to know that my knowledge was dated.
Apple has already been caught forwarding Qualcomm's restricted documents to Intel:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/25/technology/qualcomm-apple...

The previous Intel 4g modem performed poorly. Equivalent iPhones with Qualcomm modems (for Verizon) were purposefully reduced in performance to match the bad part obtained from Intel.

"The chipmaker claims that Apple also threatened the chipmaker to prevent it revealing it throttled Qualcomm-powered iPhones. A minor controversy erupted last year after tests found the iPhone 7 from Verizon could download data faster than the iPhone 7 from AT&T, but didn't."

https://www.zdnet.com/article/iphone-7-throttling-qualcomm-s...

Mediatek sells 5g modems. Taking these on as a secondary source seems cheaper, and would cause less legal risk. Apple could buy 20% of the company if they wanted design influence.

I tried AoC for the first time last year, and that was pretty much my experience. A week or so of easy problems, then 1 or 2 that were still pretty straightforward but a bit more tedious, then 1 that was a lot more work because you were supposed to derive some of the rules from the example. I don't think it would've been too hard, but like you said, it was starting to feel like a chore at that point, so I stopped.
There is an electrical variant of the effect, it just hasn't been well tested experimentally.
Second this!

Also, what about Apple’s latest M3 series chips? Are this in the same realm as Alienware in terms of AI compute?

There are more secret billionaires, who don't appear on the billionaires list. I know of two such billionaires. One is super, super secretive, who passes off as a multi millionaire.

There are special trusts that billionaires make use of. Treat a trust like a corporation, with its own independent existence. Such trusts can be set up for multiple generations: these trusts (corporations) are run by professionals, while the offspring gets monthly paychecks (that's why they are called trust fund babies).
Ok so I know nothing about how this works. It seems like if the model was able to properly detect words in the first place, it would never hallucinate 'toxicity'; if it can't recognize the word with high probability, how will it know whether the speaker actually said $toxicWord or whether it should print something else?

Perhaps it's taking a Big List of Naughty Words and weighting them so that the system must be "extra sure" that's what the speaker said, or else fall back to a G-rated word?
I think that's reasonable for the "institutional review" aspect of the OP. But regarding the "peer review" aspect, I don't think it works, at least in the bulk of the current framework. Peer-review is typically performed by separate organizations, independent of the funding organization. To expect a national-level organization to essentially take over the duties of peer-review journals is a very big ask (not in small part because the current system benefits from free labor from the reviewers).
why would you think Amazon has any data to support that notion? I work at Google and I can tell you for sure we don't. RTO is about how leaders feel about things, not about data.

Things like Proton aren't something that shipped overnight, it's a teething process.

In fairness, Valve originally did take the same approach. Proton was born from the ashes of Steam Machines - Linux boxes that developers had to create a port for.

Similarly, WSL, WSL2, WSLg, and WSA are born from the ashes of Windows Phones and Project Astoria. They aren't quite there yet, but I expect another shot at mobiles in the future.

Apple will have to go through the same teething process. Their rendering pipeline is wanting in some ways, and that'll only be sorted through painful experience. Console emulators (E.g. Yuzu/Ryujinx) are in the same vein as Proton, so if you want a health check on what problems something like Proton for Apple would face, you can see what problems the emulators are currently dealing with//hacking around.
A few reasons: Ethernet electrical is more expensive and ethernet drivers are bigger code size then CAN, and more complex (buggier, you have a lot more buffers and way more state to manage with ethernet versus CAN). Plus CANFD can accommodate different frequencies, so cheaper hardware can participate on the same bus. This may change over time as larger cores are used (Renesas comes to mind) and bigger ethernet stacks that are already scrutinized can be shoehorned in.

Show HN: FastUI – Build React apps without writing any JavaScript
Thanks! The idea is that it’s up to you - we offer a demo network, and there are ISPs who are interested in doing this privately, but the default is to allow you to trivially setup your own cluster (much easier and more maintainable than many cluster providers today - no hate! Just different)
Cut my teeth with drupal back in the day. I walked away after 5 years feeling like I stifled my growth as a programmer because all I ended up doing was hacking away at this behemoth of a framework to try and overcome all of it’s idiosyncrasies.
I disagree, "w3" doesn't have any official connotation, it is literally the name of the thing they are teaching (or the alternate spelling of the abbreviation, but same thing). It is a common pattern for a school that teaches [thing] to call themselves "[thing] school", nothing wrong there.

You just described two scenarios that are already very common in the present day, if you swap the headset for a smartphone in them.

Not saying it is a good thing at all, it isn’t. But given how many people currently don’t mind doing it with their phones (where their actions are on a clear display), I think significantly more people would be into those use cases with AR headsets (and in the future, glasses). It is literally the same thing as with phones, but more concealed/private. So it would capture both the existing group doing it with phones and plenty of new people.

Note: I am aware that Vision Pro isn’t intended to be worn outside or for prolonged periods of time due to battery and just general headset thing, so no, I am not trying to claim it is going to replace smartphones for people. I was talking more about where this is headed, which will only be possible once the technology gets us to the point of a “regular looking glasses” type of a form factor (or something similarly unobstructive).
This approach seems to work rather fantastically:

Just keep a constant propaganda campaign going of how flawless "science" is, and people will eventually believe it to be necessarily true.

There must be something good about Drupal, but I was unable to discover it during the 6 months I had to work with it in 2008. The code was messy and the UI unnecessarily complicated. The most unsettling observation though, was that all the people who seemed to believe in it had no idea what they were talking about. I learnt Python, Django and PostgreSQL and never looked back.
Two models can be merged from what I understand to result in different total param sizes.

That’s different from a fine tune

You don't have to beg or bribe studios to get them to target a market with 90 Billion dollars in annual revenue.

I love Shane, I love the Pogues, but I think it's well overdue for us as a culture to stop romanticizing chronic alcoholism. It destroys people, it destroys families.
Your issue seems to be with enforcing any rule or law on politicians, rather than with my sketch of proposal.

If you instead only think that politicians should be subject to different judicial procedures than normal people, that's something we might agree; I don't see additional problems with including lying to the public to the crimes addressed through them.

Such procedures are actually often flawed, so the effectiveness of the rule might be diminished, but I don't see it as increasing the risk of political prosecution.

It's just a further crime, and you would need a reasonable threshold to initiate investigations or indictments, so, yes, I don't see big risks about it.

I do see how democracy has a very hard time instead when its voters are drown in lies.
Looks like a complete contraption to setup and looks very unpleasant to use at first glance when compared against Noiselith.

The hundreds of python scripts and having the user to touch the terminal shows why something like Noiselith should exist for normal users rather than developers or programmers.

I would rather take a packaged solution that just works over a bunch of scripts requiring a terminal.

Like what? I can think of extremely few domains that any decent research university isn't well equipped to competently replicate. One of the very few benefits of the tuition explosion - even undergrads get relatively casual access to equipment worth millions of dollars.

Of course they can't replicate things like ultra high energy particle research, but these sort of obscure things make up a very negligible chunk of all science produced, even if it's quite an important little chunk.
That's probably not a very good strap line - FastUI let's you declare new views and parts of views without writing any React, but the frontend if still just React, albeit optionally pre-built.
submitting as quickly as possible is very much not a success criteria. Each problem becomes available midnight EST so unless you're a competitive weirdo you won't even see the problem until the leaderboard is full.
> which does make it different from Putin trying to feel like a big man

This simplification ignores alot of contextual history of the region. Regardless, even with Putin out of the picture, I suspect the situation would be the same. If the USSR invaded Mexico, I suspect the US would be rolling tanks in real fast. This is just an extension of Cold War posturing, like during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I’m not sure what you’re asking? I do a fair amount of algorithm development in my work. I’ve implemented C++ containers before.

I just learned what I needed for that from sources other than Knuth, and those sources did a better and more thorough job explaining it.
This still works and is a somewhat common practice, especially for something like a skip link. Try pressing tab on some of your favorite websites you might find they use this technique.

I had a similar realization a while back with Factorio. I caught myself watching Youtube videos on how various systems worked and how to optimize things and solve problems, and I just thought... "man, think what I could build if I put this same energy into my programming projects."

Still, I like Factorio and similar games, and I'm excited about the upcoming expansion, but it is just kind of funny to notice that it basically feeds on the same kind of drive that I use to build little apps and whatnot, and with those projects, I end up with something a bit more tangible than an elaborate virtual factory.
> There is a view that organisations are a form of slow AI executing complex business

Multi-national companies do act a lot like hiveminds.

There are individual human beings directing at the top, but only because they comply with the hive's interests. Boards act as an averaging mechanism that seeks to maximize self-preservation and growth.

The anti-capitalist incentive to not understand why a company would want to grow beyond its positive impact on society think that these companies exist to benefit society. But once something has got big enough to become self-sustaining, and not depending on individual patches of land, it's only natural to see this pattern repeat.

I don't really see what's artificial about it, though.

Thousands of human beings clicking away on interconnected computers just seems pretty intelligent.

Adding LLMs to the mix seems like a way to boost the people who already have a function in an organisation without having to scale with people; for any task where LLMs can make a person better, your organisation will grow in proportion.

In addition, to paraphrase my friend, the turing test was dead when computers could reliably tell the difference between humans and computers. It was utterly useless as a measure before, but now it is genuinely alive.
Gosh I'm feeling extra special this morning as an absolute infant beginner tinkerer that figured solution in powershell to part II after a few minutes of closing my eyes, but I highly doubt I'll be able to say that about the next one if they get harder. The example was so excellently written though, which helped a ton.
which Google models are you using? I assume they are from Vertex AI, but there is Palm2 generic and 3 coding specific models for different types of tasks (auto complete, code completion, code chat)
Those examples contain overlap, but not in the first or last digit that is given as the solution. So from the instructions you can't tell that the intermediate list of numbers should be 8, 2, 3, you only know that the final answer is 83.
I agree with this. I manage a fully remote team, and the bottleneck on delivering complex technical projects is the inability to effectively communicate. Slack/Teams do have limitations as communication tools.
It also happens to be quite hilarious.
If you haven't tried Rust:

Someone put together a very nice template in Rust that automatically downloads tests, solutions, creates a scaffold for the binaries, etc and submits solutions through CLI. I used this template last year to learn Rust and it got me "up and running" quickly and easily.

I've worked with "research" code and the lack of best practices is very true. Few to no tests. Little to no modularization or reuse. The same code copy-and-pasted all over the place. Reinventing the wheel poorly instead of using a 3rd party package/library. Dev environments that are difficult to reproduce since various pieces are either not checked in or in some external drive share. I won't even talk about the actual code itself.
Assuming we're not talking "I have a retirement plan and a house so my net-worth is over a million" type of millionaire, isn't passing oneself off as a multi-millionaire instead of a billionaire a distinction without a difference?

To me it doesn't seem any more complicated than a pair of CV joints.

Benefits according to the article: "reduced packaging size, improved ride quality, greater durability and, importantly, increased efficiency."
These "few bad apples" don't operate in a vacuum, they are actively destroying the credibility of their fields and science at large. They are wasting millions of taxpayer dollars, as well as private funding. They are diverting the attention of scientists for years or decades, pursuing red herrings.

You don't get to just point your finger at the other side and say "nah uh, they're doing WAY MORE bad things!". There's a serious problem in science right now and it has to be fixed by those "vast majority of experts" remaining in the field. What self-respecting person will want to go into research after seeing the amount of fraud taking place?
To be fair, 55-65% trust in the integrity of scientific research among scientists is still abysmal and indicates a huge problem.

If we are talking about the number of scientists who see flaws and hold skepticism, that's absolutely fine (I'd argue the number could be much higher and be quite healthy overall). But we are talking about integrity. Ethical research, lack of fraud, lack of bias, lack of perverse incentives, a system that produces high quality and trustworthy output by design, etc.

> which means you're going to be working nights and weekends to do the work you're supposed to be doing since you were interrupted all day to do the work other people were supposed to be doing

Only if you're totally overscheduled?

It is a balance: you need to do your own work, other people need you to do their work, and you also need other people to do your work. Depending on your and your company's culture you may need to block out sections of your day for deep work. Or you may need to ask your manager for support to not be the SPOF for a bunch of other people's work.
What does reclaiming the banjo as an African instrument mean? I read the interview you linked and it’s really weird, bordering on neurotic. Like this:

“For bad, you look at how you take something that was rooted in Black culture, and that became a collaborative instrument, and then the narrative becomes: No, it’s actually a white instrument. Black people have nothing to do with it.”

Huh? What is a “white” instrument? They’re inanimate objects. The banjo in its modern form is well understood to be an American instrument and it’s well understood that its roots were in an instrument Africans brought over. That’s American - a netting lot of things.

As someone who’s profoundly deaf myself, another less technical approach is to install Rogue Amoeba’s Loopback, and use it to pipe audio from a given app into a tool like Google Meet or Otter.ai using the Loopback device as the audio source.
