Although as described, the story doesn't quite add up. The government is denying citizenship because his father was a diplomat at the time he was born, but he says his father only took a temporary job at the embassy, which would usually not qualify for diplomatic immunity.
Yeah and it's also great for tools that want to be model-agnostic. I'm building something that is pretty tightly coupled to OpenAI (to function calling, more specifically), but I'd be happy to let users bring their own models if I could do that without too much extra work.
There are a few things you can do with acceleration like that. I do the same thing with metro/trams/trains/buses when getting off. Slowing down gets you to the door almost for free.

On ships another interesting feeling is being on an elevator and then feeling the forces get smaller and larger while you're going in either direction.
It's especially because Microsoft doesn't want to deal with people who manage to forget their unlock code or those who die without having a break-glass kit deposited at a bank locker, leaving their relatives in quite the mess.

I get it, for everyday people TPM-only is enough, but anyone remotely security-minded (or anyone traveling to the US and thus subject to the whims of the CBP) is better served with a good passphrase.
Uhm, why would they be ethically bound to not tell me this?

If I am going to a third party to adjust my behavior, I don’t want someone who is just going to validate my feelings. I want actionable advice.

Pro is available now - Ultra will take a few months to arrive.
How many of these implementation are strict, narrow implementation just to show that Google is better than OpenAI for the investor community?

E.g. In a similar vein within Silicon Chip. The same move that Qualcomm tried to do with Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 over M2. Then 1 week later, Apple came out with M3. And at least with processors, they seem to me marginal, and the launch cadence from these companies just gets us glued to the news, when in fact they have performance spec'ed out 5 years from now, and theoretically ready to launch.

Open, closed, it's all a bunch of fun getting working in FIPS mode. Especially 3rd party applications. They'll call a library, that calls a library that uses something not compliant.

While FIPS is a pain in the ass, can show you potential failures your software has with using ancient crypto methods that are easy to enable and completely compromise the security of your software.
If you're talking about inflight work that is running on the runner, there is a Terminator process on the runner that will see the parent go away, then block on application shutdown for the configured `:shutdown_timeout` as long as active work is being done. So active processes/calls/casts are given a configurable amount of time to finish and no more work is accepted by the runner.

If you're talking about a FLAME.call at app shutdown that hasn't yet reached the runner, it will follow the same app shutdown flows of the rest of your code and eventually drop into the ether like any other code path you have. If you want durability you'd reach for your job queue (like Oban in Elixir) under the same considerations as regular app code. Make sense?
> I always recommend they talk to a priest instead. [...] Priests study people and have experience bonding people.

I disagree. The only difference between a priest and a therapist is that one blames God and the other blames everybody except You. Both are salesmen who externalize your problems on your behalf.

The church has a unique triangulation tactic in that they can bond a couple against supernatural forces. Therapy doesn't have that. The closest they come is blaming someone's parents.
That's not quite the path, but it sounds good haha!

When I was in my early teens, just discovering electronic music for the first time (mid 80s) - but also teaching myself to program on a BBC Micro - I had two dream jobs for "when I grow up":

1. Write computer games

2. Be a rock star

When I was 21 I moved to London to be the sole programmer on the PS1 sku of a game [1] for Eidos (didn't have any experience in that either). Then proceeded to work for 10 years in the games industry, before starting the healthcare company.

During my 20s I also started running parties in London, which then turned into a major residency, and playing all over the world. But, mostly I focused my efforts on playing in London; the traveling part of DJing - although pretty rockstar-esque - is actually usually a few hours of fun surrounded by an epic amount of traveling/sitting in airports. So, because I already lived in probably the centre of the world when it came to music, I kept my focus there.

I was earning enough from DJing to quit the Mon-Fri job, but what happened with games, during the period where I started getting success as a DJ, was that (although a good job) it became 'just-a-job'.

So one of my dreams was slowly dying. I never wanted that to happen with music, so I never went ‘all in’, even though I could have done it because I was earning enough from it. It's a decision I'm glad I made, because music has always been fun, and I've never had to compromise or sell-out. And the rent has always been paid.

So many of the people I came up with at the time, who are now on the downside of their career (not considered cool any more) are not in good places. Which is pretty hard to see.

It happens to us all. Fabric is obviously the thing you pick up on, because it's one of the major world clubs: I played there every year for 6 years running (in the good years too, 2006-2012) and then nothing ever again. It can really knock you if you have nothing else to fall back on.

The healthcare thing came about because I was ready to jump ship from games. And coincidentally I was recommended as a good programmer (by my old boss) to the people I am now partners with. Just a case of right time, right place, and right mental place for me ... I was ready to do something a bit more impactful.

I knew nothing about healthcare either :D

Data-oriented programming is a paradigm that treats data of the system as a first-class citizen. Data is represented by generic immutable data structures (like maps and vectors) that are manipulated by general purpose functions (like map, filter, select, group, sort …).

CompSci 101, how to represent information as data. Like every industry, lots of bullshitiers.
Since it's always turtles^Wsubcontractors all the way down, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if some of the actual mission critical stuff turned out to be written by some unpaid intern at an underpaid outsourcing shop somewhere in Elbonia. And if it would be in fact the most solid and reliable piece of the firmware.
Most developed countries stamp on the way out. The USA is an odd man out in not checking passports of outgoing people at border crossings. Even in Schengen where a computer system was rolled out that automatically flags overstays, etc., it is still common for passport control to scrutinize foreigners' stamps just in case some previous passport control didn't properly enter the movement into the computer system.
Talk is cheap, I'll believe it when I see it from Google.

We also can't expect a gap like gpt3 to 4 from 4 to 5. ML progress has never been linear like that, we could be nearing another plateau. Not that I think it's just hype, the current level is extremely practical and valuable, but we could go another 20 years without huge progress.

Sounds like it's far from automatic. (Well, perhaps "legally" you automatically lose it, but there's no system that actually tells Japan that one of their citizens has gotten another citizenship.)

She became a U.S. citizen in 2004.

After traveling back and forth between her home countries with both nationalities for years, she was flagged as being a dual citizen in 2017 — first at a passport office in Tokyo, where her passport was confiscated and her application rejected, and then by airport immigration officials when they realized she was exiting Japan with an American passport that had no entrance stamp.

So it took them 13 years to figure this out, and if she were actively trying to conceal her US citizenship, could probably have held both indefinitely.
Unfortunately no, because of how it's a hack, and so extra logic had to be tacked on to support it (logic which the `git submodule` command implements).

I tried it out, and the local commit object just appears as an empty folder.

To try for yourself, do this:

git init recursive-submodule && cd recursive submodule

echo "foo" > file1 && git add file1 && git commit -m "Add file1"

# this will have created an initial commit with hash 2d49d729. Then:

git update-index --add --cacheinfo 160000 2d49d729fe39d1def8ce537d7efeeabbf3efb4f2 submodule && git commit -m "Add submodule"

The `update-index` command is the plumbing command for adding an arbitrary object, which I used to add the previous commit object. Since we only updated the index and not the workspace, git will note that the submodule is missing. You can then run `git restore .` to set the workspace to the state the history says (ie with the missing submodule)... but that just creates an empty directory.

Vanilla git won't try much further. To actually populate the submodule requires running `git submodule update --init`, and that requires a `.gitmodules` file, even for a local commit object.

(To learn more about plumbing commands like update-index, look at the Git Book chapter on Internal Git Objects: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-Objects )
Thank you!

That's the thing, their budget is not based on SF prices. They have these meetups all over the world and SF is one of the most expensive cities. Therin lies the rub.
I'll echo the idea, but will also admit that there is a bit of survivorship fallacy here.

If you are willing to suck it up and ask a pastor/priest for help, you probably already believe that a marriage is an important/sacred thing worth preserving and are willing to accept some authority and make sacrifices.

I've yet to run into place where they aren't. But run fast, fix fast often works better than constant debate and red tape.
Fair enough, I'll keep it in mind for next time.
This is an opinion that people who spend to much time on Twitter have.

Take two weeks off, you'll realize that it really isn't that important. Most people don't use it.

Countries that ban dual citizenship look like that jealous friend who gets upset when you to hang out with your other friends.
>also, exit stamps? Japan is really backwards in this way.

In 2019 I spent three months in Japan consulting for a very large and very recognizable Japanese aerospace company that was partnered with my employer.

Let's not focus on the bureaucratic nightmare my folks went through to make that happen, and the dozens upon dozens of paper forms I had to fill out daily/weekly.

Let's focus on the boxes and boxes of floppy disks they had on their supply shelves. Floppy disks that were needed, in 2019, to perform critical business functions.

Japan is spectacularly backwards in many ways.
Another promise? Where can we test this?
That's definitely useful info. I'm finding Yehonathan Sharvit's work on this both fascinating and persuasive, without the unnecessary strawmen thrown in.

Apologies if I came off as being dismissive of the concepts, I was strictly talking about the tone of the article itself.

What is “model negotiation” in this context?
There are two ways to lose Japanese citizenship:

1) As an adult, consciously acquire another citizenship.

2) If you acquired another citizenship involuntarily as a child (eg. being born), at 21 you are required to choose one nationality. If you do nothing, you will stay Japanese on paper.
That’s completely false - there is nothing in the code of ethics that precludes sound advice. The reason why a therapist might not reply “stop doing x” is because saying that is ineffective. It’s dramatically understating the complexity of behavior. That’s like saying rehabs should just have some grizzled old man telling people “just stop drinking”.

If the simple answer worked, if it wasn’t more complex than you make it, then there would be no field of psychology in the first place. Lack of solution oriented advice is not a problem that anyone has.
I use a seedbox and SFTP transfer to my home, so moot, in my case, at least.
The VPN was just an example of the lowered technical requirements to enter the space.

Seedboxes are even easier, albeit less well known.

The point is when there is a will, there will always be a way. As things progress, more and more people will start looking into other options, like piracy and the barrier is lower than it was in the Usenet days, for example.
OTOH, if rumors are true GPT4 is multiple models in a trenchcoat.
It's really hard for us to tell if it's a part of the training set but surely Google can manage to figure that out.
thanks for calling out that dangerous comment
That theory clearly is from before efficient patent enforcement and licensing. If you do the research, you get a ton of patents so you can charge the companies that are actually successful at putting your work in a marketable solution.
I can be a trouble maker and I am interested in those movies and products.
Interesting, could you explain in what ways is Serbia more aligned with the EU?
> This is downstream of the TPM keys for sure

Not really. The UEFI firmware is supposed to extend PCRs in the TPM based on what it does, but it looks like these vulnerabilities allow taking over the firmware before it does this and thus allows spoofing of what goes in those PCRs. Which breaks TPM security.
I think it will be better, stakes are heigh and they can't afford another failure like Bard, their

> and the missing nutrients can be acquired even on a plant-based diet.

Vitamin B12 is a notable exception - there are no plant-based foods which are a significant (or reliable!) B12 source that I'm aware of. Other B vitamins: yes. B12: no. Vegans should either supplement, or (possibly after a looong time) will develop a chronic shortage.

Calcium (not mentioned in the article) is another one. Many plant-based 'milks' are fortified with it. But if not (or people not drinking these regularly) getting enough calcium from a plant-based diet is tricky.

There are other ones to keep an eye on (iron comes to mind) but usually less of an issue.
One especially bizarre part of US citizenship is you can "accidentally" be a citizen without knowing and be required to pay income tax to the US regardless of where you live/work. What's more is it costs money to give up your US citizenship and you can only do it if you have no outstanding tax to pay.
I have no idea about this, but it would certainly be interesting if someone were to perform simulations for a black hole merger using both the ring singularity and this torus-of-mass distribution, and see if there are any differences in the gravitational waves.
> javascript as a client-side feature is a way to enhance a website rather than to build its basic functionality.

Yehonathan Sharvit does not work on this. He works on his "data-oriented programming" bullshit.
Any random person you pass here is about as likely to be criminal as someone in Albuquerque, which isn't good. But since there are magnitudes fewer people here the risk of coming across them is much lower. A great response time from the local sheriff would be forty minutes, so self-help is prudent.

My rural subdivision has had one break-in in two decades. The villain was caught on the resident's game cam, he was a usual suspect and a deputy picked him up the next day.
Yup. Unlike some countries like China, Japan does not go out of its way to catch dual citizens and it is extremely rare for somebody to actually involuntarily lose their Jp citizenship.

I mean, we do use that word to describe physical retail shops as being available to sell vs being closed to sell, so it's not an insane use... though I do think that in a tech context it's more misleading than not.

That's about government retaliation. You don't have a right to be free of consequences for anything you say. What you're looking for is a "safe space".
Would it not be unreasonable to conclude that the reason pro-nuclear advocates have convincing counterarguments for every conflation or exaggeration of anti-nuclear advocates is because the pro-nuclear advocates are right and the anti-nuclear advocates are wrong?
This is something I keep a reasonably close eye on, as both of my children are dual US-Japanese citizens.

Both countries require the choice when the child becomes a legal adult, but neither seeks to actively enforce it (unless there is a reason, such as pursuing a security clearance in the US).

It’s an odd area of law.

EDIT: The statement that they both require the choice was pointed out to me as incorrect. I lived in the classified world for decades, where that choice IS required and incorrectly generalized that.
The analogy doesn’t hold and this comment won’t age well.

Photoshop doesn’t take photographs, so of course it hasn’t displaced photographers. It replaced the “shop” but the “photo” was up to the artist.

The irony is, Photoshop can generate photos now, and when it gets better, it actually will displace photographers.
Things will end with all countries gone, eventually.
There aren’t UFOs in season 1 though.

I’m also not sure if none of the characters being aliens really makes the show stupid. That analysis would apply to quite a few shows.
Because no insurance company is going to pay for someone to tell you that you'd probably be happier if you had more kids. Lol. So the entire industry has adopted a professional ethics code that is extremely edited.

> If I am going to a third party to adjust my behavior, I don’t want someone who is just going to validate my feelings. I want actionable advice.

I'm with you, but if you polled the average person looking for a therapist we are almost certainly in the minority.
I've never had a problem with passport renewal in the USA. If you do it abroad, it is even expedited by default. It is really hard to mess up the photo, though the places that can do it reliably are increasingly small (you are better off going with an app these days and then using photo printing).
iOS 17.2 release notes: Every new feature and change
I absolutely love that you do this. There appears to be a trend to discount the value of knowing the low-level details of these sorts of things -- but even if you never actually work at that level, knowing what's happening "behind the scenes" increases and deepens understanding and can make high-level things that seem arbitrary or nonsensical make sense.
I’ve gotten the impression that a new crop of psychologists has appeared in the last 10-15 years that almost encourages damaged people to go online, discover labels like “narcissist”, then categorise the people that have hurt them. The psychologist might not say it, but they will nod agreeably when you “come to the realisation” that one or both or your parents are “narcissists”. Whether or not that is actually true, there is a massive incentive for the psychologist’s business for you to blame your parents.
Can you explain what you mean, perhaps with more than one sentence and a little less passive aggression?

We always work in a world where we have to make a variety of tradeoffs. If performance takes a higher importance in a given context, tradeoffs can be made on readability, flexibility, hireable skills, etc. Much of the art of our profession is in maximizing the radar graph for the facets that matter most for a particular situation.
Most likely not. The Scandinavian countries are capitalist democracies not dictatorships. Of course if it gets out of hand then the state will take action but anything beyond what any owner of a company could do would invite challenges in the courts.

What governments have done here is to deregulate the postal services to a fairly large degree so that there is genuine competition at least for parcels. I can send parcels using three different services here in Norway: Posten (the former royal mail, now a state owned company), Helthjem a company owned by a bi online trading site and media company (a bit like eBay), and the now infamous Swedish-Danish PostNord.

If one of them puts up the prices the others will just get more business.

The liberalisation of postal services is also required by an EU directive.
Japan's rules around citizenship and naturalization are going to have to shift given the countries shrinking population size.
This isn't apples to apples - they're taking the optimal prompting technique for their own model, then using that technique for both models. They should be comparing it against the optimal prompting technique for GPT-4.
And I want to renounce my current citizenship and live as a stateless person, which would be preferable compared to my current citizenship. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to do that, unless you already have some other citizenship, which I don't.
