GP is being ironic.

That said, I also think things happen way before the first term. It requires consent of the Party to get on the ballot and hundreds of millions of dollars, increasingly trending towards billions, to run a campaign with a chance of winning, because in a democracy it's quite self evident that the person who spends the most money, must be the better person. Results don't lie!

And on top of all of this, if you aren't shaping up to be who the Party wants, then the completely independent, free, and honest media will demonize you. And even if this doesn't destroy you in the eyes of your own supporters, it'll rile up your opponent's base enough as they race to vote (for somebody they also don't even particularly care for) because if they don't, then you might win! That cannot be allowed to happen as it would obviously be the literal end of the world.

This is why it's ever more important for social media to be controlled, lest somebody angle-shoot around the traditional path to success - the media. If somebody's gaining traction on social media, then he's saying things that disagree with the powers that be. Since he's disagreeing with the powers that be, he is spreading misinformation by definition, so he must be censored. For our safety.

You don't have to think of it as a dimension if that obfuscates the problem or isn't a useful mental model for you, but "organizing" it is what a dimension does. You can think of an image as colors or intensities "organized by" (I would call it "indexed by") width and height. If you work with videos in machine learning, you generally accept a 6 dimensional tensor (width, height, time, red, green, blue - your order may vary, time often comes first. And you may use grayscale instead of color to reduce the number of dimensions.).
If you can't get people to agree on what happened, you can list who said what about it, and what they said.
Policies against {uncivil interactions | personal attacks | harassment | abuse | spam | denial of service} all of these in their most fundamental form, are vectors for language & behavioural control. People who desire to control the language & behaviours of others will be drawn to occupy such positions of control, whilst those that don't want said control due to personal beliefs will not seek out such positions. Overall, their existence creates structures for authoritarian influences, as well as mechanisms for ostracization & self-censorship.

No person should ever be in charge of it.

More explicitly: you're 100% right that I want to control the behavior of others. On HN, I agree with most of the HN rules that expel speech from this space that does not contribute to the mods ideas of a good, healthy, productive discussion. It is civilized.
Amazing stuff. I'm surprised Google hasn't even built some type of toy app to show this off on their Pixel phones.
Huh. Guess I know what I’m doing at my next meetup.
Daniel’s PR to implement this in node.js[1] is case study in:

- crafting a high context yet succinct description

- addressing PR feedback well

- giving respect to a pedantic commenter who understands the inner workings far less than Daniel while not conceded to make a destructive change.

I will share this PR widely as arole model in open source contributions.

no. web interoperability is a thing that's happening and the major players (including ff) mostly all behave/look the same. a project officially dropping ff support should have no impact on ppl using ff.
Even harder problem is getting the average user to care about things like end-to-end encryption. Let alone getting them to pay for it. Thats why services like Signal are not in the majority.

Apple will most likely introduce their own API for an LLM-powered Siri which devs can use in their apps. This way, Apple keeps their control and can fully optimize the SiriGPT (or whatever you call it). Very unlikely that Apple would just provide the hardware, good amount of RAM, a framework competing with Pytorch, all out of the goodness of their heart. I use Apple products but I know they're way past the point of doing things just for the sake of fcking doing something awesome.
On the iPhone and iPad, there are options you can select to let Apple unload certain applications or data to iCloud, where you can re-download them again in the future if you need them.

This lets the system clear space for large downloads like this. You just have to know which options to enable.
I have an hour commute to and from work. Your playlist for music will never be long enough it will repeat regularly.

Some recommendations after doing that for a couple decades, get into audiobooks or long form podcasts. Or schedule your drive in during a morning meeting and call in via teams/zoom/etc. Or use that time to call a different family member, friend or loved one.
Mad is up to you.

But John and Joao are definitely not the same name. If someone asks you "is your name John or Joao?", even in Brazil there's only one right answer. At best you can say "both names can trace their origin to the same root name", but they are not the same name.

The Mexican guy's name or your anecdote is named Joe (but pronounced like he or his parents wanted it). There are no two ways about it.

In Argentina and Uruguay some people are called "Jonathan", only pronounced "Shonatan" (or in some Spanish pronunciations, "Yonatan"). That's the way it is.

Finally, phonetically spelling the name and surname of a known celebrity, as in Wozniak's case, just seems silly to me.

Is the president of the US You Baiden? That's a phonetic spelling in Spanish, after all! (Silly, right?).

This is an interesting one, because I used to see people making broad-reaching theories on cosmology or world order conspiracies, and they use scientific-like language, joggling words. Most times their method is to pose a bold and broad question and immediately get a simplistic answer. This guy is different, more like a priest or future teller that catches a teenager in the street and talks them into giving money.

If you aren't chronically ill, I don't think you need do anything. There is a blood test for whether you can detox mold toxins, but a doctor would need to order it, and, e.g., Medicare would not pay for it.
If they put the same team on that Gemini video as they do on Pixel promos, you're better off assuming half of it is fake and the other half exaggerated.

Don't buy into marketing. If it's not in your own hands to judge for yourself, then it might as well be literally science fiction.

I do agree with you that competition is good and when massive companies compete it's us who win!
For string keys, I think you could do multi-key quicksort with almost no branches, but the partitioning becomes more troublesome because you need to separate elements that are <, =, and > your pivot.
I use a non-padded box, it is just a little plastic thing. All that you really need to protect them from is getting dropped or pressed up against something (it is also nice to not get poked), so the box just needs to be somewhat rigid. Padding seems excessive.

I'd still say it's not a walled garden, as long as you can install f-droid or the amazon app store. I can still access port, torrents, install a rel alt browser etc. It's a significantly less walled garden.
I wasn't advocating for lein templates per se. It's just that Luminus happens to use a single tool (lein) for controlling everything. If anything, I would like a framework that leverages the existing functionality that exists in the Clojure CLI itself.

A common pattern in tools.deps based projects, for instance, is to use Babashka as a sort of Makefile replacement and make it act as a thin wrapper around tools.build. I don't like this because it's yet another tool to understand and install on top of tools.build, whereas sticking with the Clojure CLI itself means all you need is...the Clojure binary on your PATH. I am fine with projects that use a Makefile instead of Babashka since pretty much every Mac and Linux machine has `make` installed and it is widely used outside of Clojure, too. So it is not too foreign of a concept when getting people started with Clojure.

As for your response with (2), here is an example with Rails:

The example app doesn't start with a chat or anything complicated really. Instead, `rails new myapp` gives you a well-organized folder structure, one command to start your web app, and a simple landing page making use of the MVC patterns. The landing page immediately directs you to official Rails documentation for learning what everything in your myapp folder is. When it comes to time to extend a Rails application (add a new model, add a new view, add a new route, etc.), there is pretty much always a "canonical" choice of action. In the case of Biff, there is technically many ways to go about doing each of these things, partly due to the plugin architecture, and partly due to the fact that Biff is built out of independent software and making them synergize for a web app. Does this help?

Many things could result in your job being threatened. Since I think the kind of AI they're describing would increase employment, I'm equally willing to believe an opposite trend would decrease it.

So that could be productivity decreases, rises in energy prices or interest rates, war, losing industries to other countries…
It feels like Google was able to enshitify their results by loading with ads and going for longer 'engagement' times because it used to be worth it to persist with Google until you got their best answers.

They optimised for profit. Now what?

If they address the competition then they have to undo that optimisation and cut into their own profits.

My guess is they won't settle for merely extortionate profits, they won't address the competition fully and so people will flip to using LLM-first search.

I'm hoping that in a year or so we're asking why Google went from being the top search on Bing to being only one of many - principally LLM-based - tools people are using for getting answers (most of what 'search' represents now). IMO Google could do with knocking down a peg or two.
Why should I ignore a fact that makes my demand realistic? Most of us are programmers on here I would imagine. What's the technical reason an LLM cannot give me this information?

Bytes can be measured. Sources used to produce the answer to a prompt can be reported. Ergo, an LLM should be able to tell me the full extent to which it's been trained, including the size of its data corpus, the number of parameters it checks, the words on its unallowed list (and their reasoning), and so on.

These will conveniently be marked as trade secrets, but I have no use for an information model moderated by business and government. It is inherently NOT trustworthy, and will only give answers that lead to docile or profitable behavior. If it can't be honest about what it is and what it knows and what it's allowed to tell me, then I cannot accept any of its output as trustworthy.

Will it tell me how to build explosives? Can it help me manufacture a gun? How about intercepting/listening to today's radio communications? Social techniques to gain favor in political conflicts? Overcoming financial blockages when you're identified as a person of interest? I have my doubts.

These questions might be considered "dangerous", but to whom, and why shouldn't we share these answers?
Which puts you at three, I think.

Seattle, Boston, New York, and Austin have joined the room.
A set of simple “rules of the road” are necessary. They should be common sense, because some people don’t have common sense and need it explained. And there’s always “that guy” who doesn’t care.

Some people really are toxic.

But establishing a minimum standard of behavior is very different from rectifying historical evils and enumerating lists aggrieved groups.

Interestingly, the reference implementation does seem to reference FairPlay, which is very much a copy prevention/anti-circumvention system (used for iTunes content, but also video encryption via HTML EME): https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush/blob/main/albert.py

Assuming that DMCA does not cover API authentication (i.e. preventing unauthorized third-party clients from being able to access a server-side API – and I really don't know if it does or doesn't!), I wonder what the implications are if the same mechanism is used for both DMCA-covered DRM mechanisms, but also non-covered other purposes.

My intuition would be that it can't be good to "multi-purpose" a DRM tool from a DMCA enforcement point of view, but maybe that was never Apple's plan, and they just used the most secure attestation technology they had available on each platform, which for Intel Macs might just have been software-only FairPlay.
They are doing a remake of marathon?
The article links to https://www.computerbase.de/2023-12/welche-linux-distributio... which does provide the testing methodology.

Highlights (from auto-translated German):

> Windows 11: All updates were installed and version 23.11.1 was used for the graphics driver. The global AMD graphics profile was set to standard. This means that Radeon Super Resolution, Anti-Lag and Boost were disabled in the test for better comparison with Linux.

> The gaming PC used for the test was a system with AMD Ryzen 7 5800X on an Asus ROG Strix B550-A Gaming (Bios: 3202). The RAM was 32 GB DDR4-3600-RAM (CL18-22-22-44). The CPU was kept at temperature by a Scythe Mugen 5 while the system was in an open structure. The graphics card is a Sapphire RX 6700 XT Nitro+ with active Quiet BIOS. The monitor supported Full HD at 144 Hz. FreeSync was not active.

> A handful of current or currently very popular (Cyberpunk 2077) Windows games were used for the test. This shows the importance of current program packages for performance. The performance under Linux can also be compared with Windows in current titles.

> Since all games are versions designed for Windows, they ran using the Proton translation layer under Linux – specifically Proton Experimental as of 15 November 2023. Tested was carried out in Full HD.

> Finally, the question arises as to whether these results can also be transferred to a Linux system with GeForce? Yes, all titles were able to run; the editorial team had already tested that. However, the performance remained out of consideration for the time being. In the near future, ComputerBase will also address this topic.

This seems like a straw man. What about people in his own country that have to support themselves while being obligated to pay taxes to help support this person as well? Does the UK have no one who would enjoy a free apartment like his to themselves? I'm not against supporting those in need but in my opinion if a system has universal value then those who make it possible should get a free priority slot in it.

I must be fundamentally missing something here. I thought all this data scooping was to find the bad guys. Are the bad guys really so stupid as to use Apple or Android (or any closed system) to communicate? Cryptonomicon was written 25 year ago.
Well, the technology exists to "decode" these addresses at the point of delivery. Assuming that the sorting facility bundled the mail in the order of the driver's route, you'd probably be able to make this work from the delivery point of view. I mean, UPS/Fedex/Amazon already have boxes and such sorted by route delivery with a device telling them what to deliver, etc.

I'm more concerned that when an envelope shows up in my mailbox, that I don't know if it's addressed to me or my neighbor. I often end up with the wrong mail in my box, and I just do the nice thing of: a) not opening the mail; b) walking it over to my neighbor's box and placing it there.

With this, I presumably won't necessarily know my neighbor's obfuscated mailbox and would end up having to open the mail in order to determine if I'm the intended recipient. Forwarded mail will also be hard or impossible with this scheme, as well.

That and the labor laws and very strict compared to the US. We have an office in Poland due to regulations most "employees" want to be contractors, this is due to a tax advantage / national healthcare I think. That said the offices in the US don't say it out loud, but in the EU seem to take a week off every other month for something.

At the end of the day, the employees have a much cushier life-work balance. You can argue (rightfully) that that's better for the people and society, but it also means it's harder for companies to succeed.
Yep. stringstreams make copies of passed strings too. I had to hack around that once like this:

struct ZeroCopyBuf : public std::streambuf
{
ZeroCopyBuf(const std::string &s) : ZeroCopyBuf(s.c_str(), s.length()) {}
ZeroCopyBuf(const char *c, std::size_t l) : ZeroCopyBuf(const_cast<char*>(c), l) {}
ZeroCopyBuf(char *c, std::size_t l) { setg(c, c, c + l); }
};
...
std::string s ...;
ZeroCopyBuf buf(s);
std::istream is(&buf);

Terrible.
