>How do you propose any self driving system reach perfection without ever having a beta testing period?

A few thoughts here: (1) I didn't propose otherwise, I just pointed out that it's deficient (at least, legally) to say "I can be negligent because others are negligent", or to put it another way "other people's negligence should put you on warning with regards to my negligence", (2) I don't think it's my burden to satisfy this problem, regardless, even granting your point, it doesn't have to proceed the way Tesla has so far, it certainly hasn't with regards to other similar companies making similar products.

>And why not give drivers responsibility for maintaining safety?

Because the manufacturer of a self-driving product should be primarily responsible for how it functions. How exactly is that controversial to you? To whatever extent the driver is jointly liable might be a question, but, given how Tesla's self driving feature works, Tesla is clearly responsible for how it functions, including when it determines that the driver must take over. I've seen nothing that indicates that this function occurs in a way that always allows a driver to establish a safe response to whatever the self-driving couldn't handle. So, to be honest, your question seems a bit absurd to me.

>Shouldn’t they try to be safe, and carry responsibility when they are fully in control?

Yeah, but no one here is talking about when the driver is driving, we are talking abotu when the self-driving feature is driving. You are farcically insisting that the driver is driving even when self-driving is enabled. Can't have it both ways.
Web has grown by 1000x over years. The overall signal to noise ratio has been worsen, around by 100x and SEO has been become much more sophisticated and optimized against Google. A large fraction of quality content has been moving toward walled gardens. The goalpost is moving (much) faster than technologies.
Is that something you've done before? What is involved in doing that? Sounds interesting.
Ya, I second guessed myself. First in, then I thought "Naw, some pendant will say 'ackewlwally, that's software engineering'". Next time, I promise to take the principled stand.
I agree that required masking wasn't very beneficial to those who didn't want to wear a mask, but it seems very likely to me that it still would have helped reduce spread from those people. Even a poor fitting, poor material mask does a good job of capturing or slowing moisture and other infection carrying materials from leaving the mouth of an infected person.

Sure sure, we can grant them their fig leaf. Note however that the same logic applies to their “Linux ISOs”. Possession does not imply ownership.

Edit: there’s no need to give these reminders, btw. Everyone knows that torrents have theoretical uses beyond piracy. Just like everyone knows they’re almost entirely used for piracy.
> Are massive air purifiers enough to mitigate the issues?

As far as I know, air purifiers do not filter mold related particles in the air to any useful amount.
I can't imagine that working correctly on a machine at a library.

Also, connecting via bluetooth defeats the purpose of air-gapping.
> And Sony isn’t offering any compensation for titles you’ve already bought or a way to transfer those purchases to another store.

This is outrageous.
Merriam-Webster literally lists 5 distinct definitions of "artificial" with two of those having two sub-definitions.
The fact that we as a world economy are not significantly relying on nuclear power at this point is one of the biggest failures of climate change policy, if not the biggest failure ever. Yes, waste is a concern which needs to be managed responsibly. But at worst, the waste would only contaminate a finite area where it is stored. Climate change will affect literally everywhere on Earth. The US Navy has operated reactors for 70 years with a perfect safety record, yet people still fall victim to FUD insinuating that using nuclear is automatically asking for another Chernobyl or Fukushima. If you aren't serious about nuclear, you aren't serious about climate change.
They are not currently as we need to roll out e2ee with iOS and Android in lockstep as they both use the same mobile_app component as well as the local push stuff which bypasses Apple and Google but we would also like to encrypt.
Have you lived in the Midwest or mountain United states? There won't be good rail there ever. The need for a 500-600 mile range (especially for the pickup truck drivers that tow) is far more apparent.but so will the routine nature of using the long range and dropping the lifetime of this battery scheme.

Which is weird because I think these are the guys who did a Michigan demonstration of range last year, a classic Midwest long miles to drive state for any travel

Also the notion that rail is cheaper over long haul for people transport might be incorrect. Self-driving (highway self driving is much easier than robo taxis) EVs, and roads are cheaper to build and more flexible than rail.

Rail wins only on really high congestion or very large loads.

Also, 18mph on a bike is hard for almost all people that aren't athletes. I'm a former Ironman triathlete and I know the range of performance for heavily trained athletes.

But yeah, doing range calcs at those speeds is ridiculous, unless you are discussing a pure commuter car use case.
Conceptually similar in that you can decide after-the-fact what state you want to see.

But Time Travel Debugging applies that to everything in the program, not just log statements - all function calls, variables, memory locations, etc can be reconstructed after the fact without having to log them explicitly.
> you have it but you definitely don’t own it.

This could apply just as much to "buying" something from the Playstation store.
Ok not bad, thanks! It's still not the same but close enough, I'll try to use that.
None of that was my question, so, no.

there are 3 paths.

1. placing logo into ESP (EFI System Partition) via admin privileges

2. Bios update tool

3. When there is no expected way to customize the logo, it is still possible via physical attack vector: just with an SPI flash programmer if a logo is not covered with any hardware-based Verified Boot technology like Intel Boot Guard or AMD Hardware-Validated Boot

“As we can see in the following table, we detected parsers vulnerable to LogoFAIL in hundreds of devices sold by Lenovo, Supermicro, MSI, HP, Acer, Dell, Fujitsu, Samsung and Intel. “

Peruse Purchasing Power Parity stats for that.
"A Generic Approach" seems like a good starting point for a classical approach: building a set of reusable components and heuristics to recognize idioms, etc.

Might also be worth considering an approach integrating LLMs for summarizing code. Maybe you could fine-tune a pretrained model that already "understands" source code to associate sources with generated code? If going this route I would still probably use a disassembler to preprocess, and maybe also extract basic blocks to use as my "target" domain for fine-tuning.

As for Tigress, I used it extensively and found it to be really great most of the time. There are some limitations to be aware of: it only works with C code, and you have to turn your multi-file projects into a single file with a main() function. Also, its C parser (CIL) has some limitations (e.g. doesn't recognize the word static in "struct foo x[static 1]") so you might need to translate your C code first. I translated manually because it was a really rare issue for the code I started with. I also had mixed results using Virtualize and JIT. Sometimes they would emit invalid code, so I ended up just throwing out that data.

In my view, the up-and-coming Tigress challenger is obfuscator-llvm. I think it is very promising for future work because it inherently supports more languages than only C. But currently obfuscator-llvm is much more limited (~3 transformations compared to ~48). So if you're using C, today I would pick Tigress.
Why do this? What is the benefit of having a monorepo for these models?
Yes, sorry, quantum annealing. Exactly, not universal, but I think quite useful, if really faster. I really can't judge if this is reality or not.
One of the problems with this in the UK is that train fares really militate against part-time work. There are lines where the price for a monthly season, travelling every day, is little different than buying two daily returns each week. The Government has introduced a part time season ticket but the saving is miserly.
What is your experience with crime? I am intrigued by New Mexico but going by the crime rates, it has some issues. I assume this is primarily in the cities but it is still something that has given me pause.

Honestly I kinda laughed when I saw the response because it reminded me of the classic nerd flexing (that happens especially when conveying something to laymen) where two nerds go at it saying the same thing but using heavier and heavier jargon as a means to flex (increasingly losing the laymen) rather than clarify or admit that language requires inference and the whole show is ironically just a demonstration at accurate communication or else one would not have been able to "um acktually" the other. (I think a lot of us have been guilty of this, often unintentionally, but we can still laugh at ourselves)
Its run on your local device - its just a local devserver that allows Sentry's SDKs to pipe data to it. The overlay (the Spotlight UI) then connects to the sidecar via a Server-Sent Events stream (basically a pubsub HTTP stream which operates unidirectional - think websockets but simpler). This is needed due to the distributed nature of services, but our goal is to push this abstraction into dev servers, e.g. Vite.

World Report Shows Nuclear Energy Production Fell by 4% Last Year
In my experience in one of the few blue enclaves in an overwhelmingly red US state[1], selectively enforced laws are frequently used by local law enforcement as an instrument of discrimination against "undesirables".

As a straight, white, young adult male, I noticed a strong correlation between the frequency of "pretextual" traffic stops in neighboring counties and the then-current length of my hair.

Racial minorities have it much worse:

Before Brainard took office, employees of then Carmel[, Indiana]-based One Call, many of whom were minorities living outside of Carmel and working late into the night, complained of being pulled over by Carmel police.

The city’s solution, which [Carmel mayor] Brainard called “terrible,” was to give employees car tags so police knew they belonged there, implying that if you were Black and didn't work there, the assumption might be that you didn't belong there. There was, however, no systemic change within the police department to stop ticketing Black people passing through." [2]

As for marijuana possession,

In Indiana, all but 13 counties are above the national average for racial disparities [in marijuana arrests]. And while Marion County’s rate of disparity is below the national average, there seems to be an alarming trend for surrounding counties to have disproportionately high arrests of Black community members. For example, Hancock, Hamilton, Shelby and Boone counties, all donut counties, have a racial disparities rate of greater than 10x. [3]

Their top line claim is multimodality.
I suspect you haven't checked. Or this means you only play big name (EA, Ubisoft, etc) games and only watch/read big studio content (Disney, etc). That's fine, but it's trivial to find lists of failed production houses, especially with games [1], with Embracer and Volition shutting down this year (as more examples significant to me). And, you might be surprised at the long list of movie studios [2].

I would have appreciated a local LLM integration as a free feature of the IDE. As it stands, I'm more likely right now to just use GitHub Copilot than to use JetBrains AI if I want a subscription billed remote LLM.
I completely agree!

Transaction-safety is also sublime for business logic.
If a ticket can be as low as $5-10, I'd gladly pay $3 for years old movies to watch it once or during a limited period of time (72 hours access?). It's rare for me to rewatch the same movie twice in one month. I have the same expectations for games, If I pay for the digital version, I pay for the experience of playing it once or twice, I'm not expecting a lifetime support.

Where I draw the line is for applications, music and books. Because their uses are perpetual. So no DRMs for anything. I'm not asking you to support new hardware (if I purchase an exe file, a wma album or a mobi book, that's what I'm stuck at), but no shutting down access because you need me to pay for the latest version. I should be able to pop up a VM and consume or use what I purchased.

Saas is another story, but that because it's their servers, not my computer.
Many people use shared computers at our local library. I can afford a nice quiet office and big monitor at home, but many people cannot.

I imagine they either memorized their passwords, wrote them on a piece of paper, or stored them on an (air gapped from the library machine) cell phone.
Financial Instrument Reference Database (FIRD)
Meanwhile, Bard can't create images, see's more than there is on an image, and gave me this kind of response, after I was already talking about Rust:

Me: please show me the step by step guide to create a hello world in rust

Bard: I do not have enough information about that person to help with your request. I am a large language model, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions, but my knowledge about this person is limited. Is there anything else I can do to help you with this request?

Doing "AI" before everyone else doesn't seem to mean they can get results as good as OpenAI's.
> It eliminates memory bandwidth issues.

About that: where is the RAM here?

Some applications are compute-heavy, and BitGrid seems a nice architecture for that.

But some applications are not. Where can they get/put their data?

Btw... this screams for implementation on reasonably sized FPGA (say, 100k+ LUTs). The size to have a go at more interesting uses than "hello world" type ones.

Any chance of doing that? A single cell in the grid looks simple enough. Plenty cheapo FPGA boards around.
`json_` functions return json, `jsonb_` functions return jsonb. Both take either as input.

If you're modifying something "in-place" then `jsonb_` functions would be better since they avoid conversion.
Are they running their own instance or is it being run by a third-party hoster?
Excellent comparison, it seems that GPT-4 is only winning in one dataset benchmark namely HellaSwag for sentence completion.

We need UEFI! With out it everything is ancient. And it needs to be updateable from the internet and the OS.
You can count on object key order being preserved when you control the implementation. Which is why it's useful to know whether a given implementation preserves key order.
If BIOS is immune to this, it's only by coincidence; there's no reason to think older firmware that allows the user to set the boot logo isn't equally riddled with vulnerabilities.
I used them with Python. Simple enough but opinionated. I didn’t play around with durable functions.

Don’t have strong feelings there. It worked. I did have some issues with upgrading the functions but found the work arounds.
Yes. The mesh grid and all the plastics around it. It's not really possible to deep clean without specific equipment.
How do you deal with ventilation? Central unit, or a device per room? Or just opening windows? :-)

> Air to air is much cheaper and is more efficient because it doesn't need to raise the temperature of the working fluid so much and doesn't require a big fluid to water heat exchanger

It might still be worth it to go with water based system if you're going to have underfloor heating. It requires lower water temperatures, so efficiency hit is not that big compared to air-to-air systems (if there is a hit at all).

As a bonus, there are some savings from using the heat pump to heat the hot water for showering and you get the supreme cozyness of warm floors.

On the other hand, now you need some other way of cooling in the summer as underfloor system will not work for that.
Measuring LLM quality is problematic (and may not even be meaningful in a general sense, the idea that there is a measurable strict ordering of general quality that is applicable to all use cases, or even strongly predictive of utiity for particular uses, may be erroneous.)

If you trust Winogrande scores (one of the few where I could find GPT3.5 and GPT4 [0] ratings that is also on the HuggingFace leaderboard [1]), there are a lot of models between GPT3.5 and GPT4 with some of them being 34B parameter models (Yi-34b and its derivatives), and una_cybertron_7b comes close to GPT3.5.

that's how you end up with multi-thousand LOC sql files that contain all the historical business logic and edge cases of a company and it just keeps being piled up on and its complexity keeps growing because not everything is expressible in SQL. So you end up having a big monster that someone needs to support and one that's not very testable easily

AI has been adding a huge proportion of the shareholder value at Google for many years. The fact that their inference systems are internal and not user products might have hidden this from you.

>Instead of deploying a web or game server that sits in between your clients and your database, your clients connect directly to the database and execute your application logic inside the database itself. You can write all of your permission and authorization logic right inside your module just as you would in a normal server.

Why? Databases should never, ever, ever, be used to perform logic, they are datastores, that is it. Your logic goes elsewhere. Stored procedures are the worst "feature" of any database, you are just asking for a hard time debugging, troubleshooting, and increasing the chance that you will fuck up the most valuable part of your system, your data.

Thanks for the link. Scary to see that the state is re-drafting these laws specifically to find loopholes in the constitutional definitions of freedom of speech. Check out this other loophole:

> The act does not apply to contracts worth less than $1,000, or to companies that offer to provide the goods or services for at least 20 percent less than the lowest price quoted by a business that has complied with the certification requirement.

So, a contractor if free to boycott as long as they cost the taxpayer a little bit less.
