Hypocritical of course that Republicans are leading the charge with this witch hunt, given their supposed concern for free speech in a number of forums, including college campuses.

And I wonder how often speakers who support the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians have spoken at college campuses over the years without any repercussions for the university presidents presiding at the time.
Well that was worrying to read since I flight through San Diego coming up.

Why are the budgets low and why is our government running atc like a best buy durring holiday season?

Are you so sure it's only conservatives? I lean left and a healthy dose of skepticism is needed in science.

I've read too many abstracts and papers where the methodology sucked, the sample size was a rounding error, incorrect conclusions were made, etc.

Let's not forget it was a hokey scientist who pushed the antivax shit. His license was revoked but the damage was done.

Science needs to be good, proper science to be regarded as anything approaching the truth. That's why science is like medicine, a practice.

Dude, you're making straw-man arguments. You're saying "All nations have done the same and have shaped their own border through wars".

Like that makes it okay? And man, you don't even realize that you don't know what you're talking about. You keep making orthogonal points. Here's what I'm saying, land keeps getting taken. By Israelis. That's an international crime. Quite literally. The UN was established at the time. And guess what. The Israelis were promised a certain percentage of Palestinian land by the British, but they took more. And kept taking more and more with illegal settlements man. Even to this day man. They've kicked Palestinians off in 1948 and they continue to do that. That's what you don't understand and you keep glossing over it as if it's been done. It's happening NOW man.

A large percentage of them fled on their own? I don't know how true that is but that's effectively the same thing as being driven away. What compelled them to do that? You do realize tens of thousands were killed too right...? Like dude, I don't think you even hear yourself. Why wouldn't they leave on their own if they were being killed? And chased away? The British soldiers physically evicted Palestinians. Don't you know that? Why did they also leave on their own? Like don't you think about these things? You can ask the same questions to Jews when Muslims ruled over them. The Jews didn't leave when Muslims ruled over them. So why didn't the Jews leave when Muslims took over Spain? Hmm? Why didn't the Jews leave when Islamic ruler, Salahuddin conquered Jerusalem back in the 13th century? Why did they come back? Why did Umar Ibn Khattab, the first Caliphate of Islam, establish 20 Jewish families in Jerusalem when he conquered Jerusalem and found out the Jews were driven and slaughtered by the Christian? You see where I'm getting at? When Muslims ruled, Jews were protected. They weren't displaced. They kept their own lands. No displacement. And then the colonial British came and **ed everything up. Thanks Britain. Thanks a lot.
Very scary indeed. I think for the first time in my life I will be a little on edge flying in the US. You always hear that flying is the safest mode of public transport--well, if this is the state of the ATC, we're definitely in trouble. And you know there won't be any real change until hundreds of people die needlessly...I just hope it won't be my flight.

> The move also means that Nokia Bell Labs will be leaving its iconic campus in Murray Hill, one that began as the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1925 — and one where researchers are credited with the development of the transistor, among other major innovations. Ten Nobel Prizes have been awarded for work completed there.

For those looking to learn more about Bell Labs the typical book recommendation is The Idea Factory:

This would be very interesting to look into if you cited a source.
Agreed on this (the DEI part, not the obama part. It's much bigger than that.). Previously it was a mutual understand that ATC wouldn't get snarky with pilots in th air until they are on the ground as pilots have the final say.

Lately on youtube, i've seen nothing but bad behavior from ATC. And let's just say, there were certain qualities that were common between the incidents.

> It sounds like we basically agree

by "producers", I am not referring to wage-earning employees, but (primarily) corporations and business owners.

> there are lots of different things that can cause inflation

yes, true. but you've offered no support for your original claim that "wages catch up," or that the negative effects of brief periods of excess inflation are not long-lasting.

The number of people wanting "to make bombs" isn't a sufficiently large or well off market to support the costs of a massive LLM project. There are too few of them and they have too little money to be worth it. By "to make bombs" I mean "all the stuff that ChatGPT won't let you do that Musk promises he will."
It's not really stolen when nobody is deprived of it by the act, digital content is infinitely duplicable, but sure whatever. If it's stealing I'm perfectly alright with being a thief. I'm also perfectly alright with other people "stealing" my work (I'm a musician). I think the free proliferation of art is a better ethos than the garbage system we have now. IP just lets corporations gather up all the valuable stuff and toss the artists some crumbs for their work. Artists were still starving well before internet piracy. I think we need a model of fans crowdfunding their favorite artists, which could work if it became more common. Artists could, for example, set a donation goal after which they'd release a new album. It would be a large social transition but it's the only real way out. Since that's never going to happen legally, I want to see technology render the law meaningless, hence why I like piracy.
Yeah, people used to think that since only humans can do arithmetics it was the peak of intelligence, and computers can do arithmetics better than humans, then AGI was just around the corner.

Now people argue that since only humans have complex language it was the peak of intelligence, and now computers can do that language like humans, then AGI is just around the corner.
Thanks for this. It is pretty surprising that this is one of the most requested Firefox features and they haven't done anything here; all the world is moving to web apps and Firefox is not helping.

I think when getting hauled in to testify before Congress for such a disingenuous PR stunt, looking down on them is appropriate.

The death of the Yesterweb and "The Web Revival" movement
This one seems very straightforward to me, so to make an explanation useful, perhaps we need some shared definitions

1. ethnostate: a country that values/prioritizes residents being of a particular ethnicity defined in law and either forbids people of other ethnicities from living there or discourages them by denying them equal rights

2. ethnic cleansing: (EU definition) Rendering an area ethnically homogeneous by using force or intimidation to remove from a given area persons of another ethnic or religious group

Perhaps you are saying that legal discrimination doesn't count as intimidation and therefore denying rights based on ethnicity is not ethnic cleansing? (I would disagree). Or are you using different definitions altogether?

> how does that contrived example address the point of "you are not entitled to these works?"

It's not a contrived example, but an actual problem with converting books to braille. The only entitlement I see here is the expectation by authors to have absolute control over their work, even if there is no profit to be made (remember: copyright was established to protect income streams).

> And what the hell is "cultural rights"?

Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 27. The same article that established groundwork for copyright also establishes the right to access protected works for the well-being, education and enjoyment of others. Current standards are heavily out of balance in favor of all-encompassing copyright, which was never intended as such, and has become increasingly detrimental to the right to participate in culture.

The right to participate in culture is infringed upon, for example, when essayists are unable to publish video essays about movies and illustrate their ideas with a few seconds from each movie, because they get caught in overzealous copyright protection. I don't see a good reason why the full force of the state should back movie studios against scholars, historians and critics; it is not in our best interests.
No, you are right. Deno and Node include the V8 engine which was built by a team at Google for the Chromium browser. QuickJS was built by Fabrice Bellard for the purposes of making an embeddable JavaScript engine. They have completely different scopes. But it is not impossible that your use-case may not need HTTP or other functionality afforded by larger runtimes, in which case, I'd rather have a 6MB binary over an 85MB binary that has a bunch of things I don't need.

> I might be wrong, but comparing quickjs to node/deno seems like comparing a aquarium pump to an electric car.

My intention was not to compare QuickJS to Node/Deno, only their ability to create small binaries.
>AI would completely dominate that problem space and push humans out of it

This type of AI needs to be trained on human data. If humans are pushed out I don’t see it progressing too far
Thanks, looks quite cool and a bit more in line with my Kubernetes setup than KeyEnv mentioned above. I'll give it a try, especially if I can start with self hosted opensource version when the team is still tiny.

"Affirmative Action Lands in the Air Traffic Control Tower", Wall Street Journal (June 2, 2015): https://archive.is/lDyOB

>A recently completed six-month investigation by Fox Business Network found that the Federal Aviation Administration has quietly moved away from merit-based hiring criteria in order to increase the number of women and minorities who staff airport control towers. The changes come despite the fact that the FAA’s own internal reports describe the evidence for changing the hiring process as “weak.”

>Until 2013, the FAA gave hiring preference to controller applicants who earned a degree from one of its Collegiate Training Initiative schools and scored high enough on an eight-hour screening test called the Air Traffic Selection and Training exam, or AT-SAT, which measures cognitive skills. The Obama administration, however, determined that the process excluded too many from minority groups.
a) what profit is "necessary"? a business's goal is to maximize profit.

b) risk premiums exist in every form of economics. it's why, typically, stocks return more than bonds over time, for example. Why would regulators be interested in auditing companies for acting rationally?

How many tabs do you have open? I use a Windows VM hosted on my server and Firefox sits open on it for weeks at a time with 20+ tabs open.

It only ever lasts 3-4 weeks because Windows has to reboot for patches at least once a month.
I just recently played Nier Automata for the first time, and was amazed by not only the soundtrack, but the way it handle dynamically changing as you interact with other characters, or when certain story elements are triggered.

There’s even an in-game jukebox that lets you explore the music, and it’s crazy to see how nested it gets based on different environments.

Definitely recommend checking out if you, like me, are elevated by games with great music.
>NYT cites overworked employees as the cause but leaves out the ongoing and dangerous agenda in the FAA to prioritize diversity over merit.

I was looking for more info on your claim, not another claim from someone else that only says something was being left out, without actually showing the very thing that was purported to have been elided.

Chomsky gets it wrong here.

A fairer analogy can be made by first supposing that submarines do not exist yet, and people are intensely interested if one could actually be built. Add in the situation that many people are claiming that such a swimming machine is inherently impossible because any machine would lack the swim-enabling "stuff" that fish have.

Then one day submarines are built. It passes all tests of swimming ability that naysayers said were impossible for a machine to pass.

And now the naysayers say that they weren't actually all that interested in the question of swimming machines in the first place. The actually interesting question is how do fish do it.

Thank you! This 100%!
ATC has always been terse and made you feel like a bother
Well I mean, you still have to engage your brain and do some design at some point. PortaKabins are modular yet no one specifies to stack them 100 high, even though in theory you could just keep on stacking (infinite floor area hack, real estate agents hate this one simple trick!).

As for CT, the last one I had was actually on a floor C, but it was at the back I think, so now I think about it could have been the ground floor as the building was on a hill. But even then the module catalog can just say "you can only put Type H (heavy) modules at the bottom, and Type R (radiological) ones go at the bottom unless shielded".

Maybe it's just an insane and impractical idea, but I can't help thinking billions upon billions in one-off design and refitting work is being reinvented every new project (not that I hear architects and consultancies crying about it).
I second this. I hope ffx team get some inspiration.
I tend to just select all the files and then paste their filenames into a Chat AI and tell it to write mv commands to rename them however I need. May be more complicated if you need it to open the PDF to get content for the rename though.
> Meanwhile on the ground, events were taking an unexpected turn. On Batam Island in Indonesia, debris from the №2 engine plunged into a populated area shortly after the failure, resulting in surprise and alarm. Among the debris was a large portion of the failed IP turbine disk, which fell with such force that it cleaved straight through a building, razing a brick wall. Thankfully, no one on Batam was hurt by the debris. However, photographs of locals holding airplane wreckage in what appeared to be Qantas livery were soon posted to Twitter, where they were taken as indications that a Qantas airplane had actually crashed somewhere over Batam. Qantas engineers already knew that the plane was still flying, but they were unable to contact the crew to find out more information. And outside that bubble, the news that a Qantas A380 had possibly gone down spread so quickly that even investors reacted while the plane was still in the air. In fact, the first time Qantas’s CEO learned of the situation was when he received a call asking why the company’s stock price was dropping.

Information flies so fast in the modern world. There is a classic XKCD about learning about an earthquake via Twitter moments before the ground starts shaking.
> renaming PDFs

Sorry, I didn't understand. Why do you need ML tool for renaming PDFs? or did you mean rephrasing or rewriting in a different format?
This exact same thing happened to me last week. I purchased a fantastic audiobook about Julius Caesar written by Adrian Goldsmith about 8 years ago on audible. I loved the content and the narrator was great, I listened to it four times.

I go to re-listen to it last week and lo-and-behold, it’s not in my library. Even worse, I can’t even PURCHASE it again. It looks like they’ve just black-holed through production in Australia. If I lived in the US I could at least “buy” it again.

I just want to enjoy art and the worst part is it’s not even the artist doing these things. It’s money grubbing distributors. Middle men are actually the worst kind of people in existence.

Yeah, when I was trying to think of more recent examples type theory came to mind, but I think "structured programming" has had more bang for the buck so far...
I think this is a good place to ask: are there any tasks left that LLMs still fail significantly more often than average humans? Not "sometimes it writes buggy code", or "it refuses to discuss ethics", but getting something wrong in a way that people on the street wouldn't.

So far I've only seen examples based on tokenization ("what's the third letter in word?"), and the fact that answers are generated sequentially ("write a sentence that mentions its own word count"). But those feel unsatisfactory, like asking a human to decode ASCII.

I've personally seen some impressive feats from simple LLMs, like writing sensible code in a new language based only on a few surrounding lines. That shows a level of expertise beyond the common line "it's just mixing sentences from the training data".
Super Crazy Rhythm Castle just came out and it’s entirely about procedural sound and music.
Would always choose chrome for grandma's computer. Firefox is great but for a non technology person worse than chrome.

Most sites work as expected.
And I had more update issues with Firefox than chrome (chrome was never outdated, firefox sometimes was versions behind until I manually opened the about dialog)
I think firefox focusing on performance, customization, and security/privacy is smart. Being the browser for tech savvy people is a great niche that sets it apart from others.

Performance has always been a metric that drove people to/away from browsers (at least for those of us who know what browsers are, know that alternatives exist, and are willing to try them). Add-ons can provide whatever weird workflow empowering gimmicks people want to set up for themselves rather than being limited to what the browser itself provides. Every OS I've used a browser on provides things like note/screenshot taking, and not everyone wants vertical tabs, ARC doesn't give you any choice. It's ARC's way or nothing. Firefox is still the browser that gives people the most control over how they work. Firefox truly empowers users.
> But what else would you have them [hamas] do

What about caring for their civilians, not using them as meat shields, not using hospitals as bases, not starting rockets from civilian buildings; using the obscene amount of international aid responsible for the benefit of people, over selling it for profit in their supermarkets to fund rockets, digging up goddamn water pipes to turn into rockets, etc. Oh, also, maybe don’t shoot their own people trying to evacuate an active warzone?

Hamas is an utterly disgusting terrorist organization, this is an objective fact. Equating them to freedom fighters is just vile, and a disgrace to any decent movement that tried to overthrow their oppressors.
Exactly! Nothing is like we would have expected.

The seeming “understanding” and coherency of LLMs is a surprise, and it doesn’t seem like anyone knows exactly what it means about human language and cognition.

It’s possible that by analyzing what LLMs are actually doing we will discover a “code” underlying language that is sort of like a universal grammar, or at least gain some insight into how they stitch together and combine remembered snippets of language so sensically.

While what ChatGPT does seems more like “open-ended talking” than thinking, reasoning, and responding to its external and internal situation (which does not really exist, in the absence of plugins—there is just the talking), that talking can be used to (for example) plan a series of actions.

I got the JBL Flip 6 for audiobooks! I compared the 4 to the 6 but the 6 had two tweeders that really allowed for crisp narration.
Well, I think I need to remind you that humans invented arithmetics, humans invented computers, computer languages, artificial intelligence and so on. I think you are underestimating how complex the human thought is now that we have LLMs. They appear to have unlimited progress but they’re eventually bound to what they’re trained on.
