There is something western politicians can and should do to help working conditions outside the first world and it is exactly that: nothing.

I'd hope most people are familiar with the fact that the west, and specifically the CIA, later the NED and many different gov-backed orgs have been hard at work making sure the working conditions of those countries are either kept as exploitative as they are, or if possible made worse.
Of course China is a fairly specific case, and while there obviously have been numerous cases of interventionism (like in the Tian'anmen square riots or Taiwan as a whole) stopping the endless anti-Chinese propaganda couldn't hurt (which I'm not accusing this article of being).
It's absolutely obvious to everyone that the US and allies would jump at the first opportunity to meaningfully destabilize China's economy so, no, I certainly don't expect anything positive to be done for Chinese workers by western countries, and especially not by a country like the US that should very much look inwards when it comes to working conditions.
This did not prepare me for the framing of the crusty Robert Hughes introducing the overflowing filth of corruption swamping the art market. I mean, one of the sentences mentions it, but it's a pretty pale summary.

I'm not sure how useful AI summary even is. It's a best-case scenario: translate input data into 'what most people might think of this', which is a core competency of LLMs. It's stripping away the ability to convey intention or a specific vision, though, and that's a significant lack.
Well, just saw some videos of what Gemini can do. Actually impressive:

I can confirm that mold causes joint pain. I even had increased anti-CCP antibodies that correlated with my joint paint. Sadly there was no treatment for me because RA diagnosis is not possible without joint swelling. The only thing I can do is to avoid mold. When I avoid mold, I have no joint pain and also my antibodies are normal again. It’s scary to know that mold is slowly destroying my joints.

I think my real problem is MCAS but doctors don’t seem to know or treat it.
Only multiplayer online games. For single player, especially on consoles that still have a bit of QA left, you can live with 1.0.0.

And look on the bright side. If you're stuck on 1.0.0 you're missing the microtransactions they introduced in 1.0.1 after the reviewers finished publishing their reviews.

Edit: why do I get the feeling most of the people disagreeing with me only play PC games from the big 4-5 names? In which case I completely agree with them.

Language can be ambiguous.

But these LLMs were fine tuned on realistic human question and answer pairs to make them user friendly.

I’m pretty sure the average person wouldn’t prefer an LLM whose output is always playing grammar Nazi or semantics tai chi on every word you said.

There has to be a reasonable “error correction” on the receiving end for language to work as a communication channel.

This. Its an uphill battle, and given the risks and rewards ratio definitely the smartest thing is to quietly walk away and report to regulators anonymously if possible.

The amount of cases where C-suites or owners take it very personally and go on vengeance streak are many... you don't want to fight bunch of very well-connected rich sociopaths hell-bent on destroying you or worse, and from position of a 'nice guy'.

> is it possible that the "ad profiling" can still take place on the client

I believe this is the future in a GDPR world. The server sends a list to the client of 1000 ads, and the client decides which to show based on all the data available locally and a big local neural network model to decide which you're most likely to click.
And in this case it's even enforced through country-specific phone number verification... They _really_ don't want us to use it.
Is "only" going to share the fate of "literally"?

Adding a disclaimer like "I don't support the 9/11 attacks on WTC but the invasion of Iraq is bad" is akin to subduing to a "have you stopped beating your wife" question.

These are not actual tests they used for themselves.

Some third party did these tests first (in article and spread on social) to which the makers of Claude are responding.

I knew it’s a weird test right when I first encountered it.

Interesting that the Claude team felt like it’s worth responding to.
Exactly right. People think the way it has been the last 40 years is set in stone, while outside and other forces try to dismantle it. We have to stay vigilant or what was once built on blood and tears will crumple
I thought the tests were controversial because mycotoxins is also contained in some foods. Most research papers don’t use a reference group that isn’t affected by mold.

They have a pretty interesting explanation of each cookie they use:

What I never quite understand is the analytics issue. We had server logs for analytics long before everyone started using cookies for that.

In my opinion the cookie part of GDPR is clearly bad regulation. It requires cookie banners for some things that are not privacy issues. And at the same time it doesn't institute a sensible consent mechanism that doesn't in practice amount to constant harassment.
Small correction. Judging by here LinkedIn page (I will not provide link, but it is public), she is not Israeli, she is an american Jew. I think, it is important to point it out since Israeli jews (including Google employees I know) have a very different sentiment about supporting their government.
The Yemen civil war is 9 years. So on average 1300 kids a month?
If the Israeli military has killed 8000 kids, that's in two months, so way more than even the dirtiest of other wars, and really the west should be held to higher standards.
I tried to check and multiple NGO's have confirmed that 6000-8000 dead kids is the real number and the death tolls have usually been correct from the palestinian side even if it sounds weird.
Talking about this makes me sick though.
`zfs scrub` is equivalent to `fsck`.

It just has a different name, and it can fix more kinds of corruption (including corrupted data, which `fsck` for other file systems can never do), and can do so on line. Of course zfs can fix those same errors on line while doing ordinary reads, so really all `zfs scrub` does is read everything.

`zfs scrub` is better than `fsck`.
Yes you do. Any device that doesn't support good enough fde should have syncthing encrypted. Because usually you want the device to boot and start operating unattended - it is quite vulnerable.

I thought the opposite, at least as a first thought: Roughly two or three years ago, facebook announced their intent to integrate their messengers - so that you could send a message from your fb inbox to whatsapp, from whatsapp to instagram. And since whatsapp has E2E as a major part of their marketing, I'd think adding it to FB and IG rather than removing it from WA would be the way to go.

(though of course it's not REALLY: it harasses you to backup your messages all the freaking time, and when I say "never", as I ALWAYS do, it asks again in 2 weeks. I assume once they're backed up on Meta's servers, there goes the encryption. But that's a parlor trick and they STILL have that data, as I assume at least 80% back up anyway and the rest is mostly worn down by the constant prompting.)

The problem is Framework is limited by standards here. Is there a chipset + connector that works for GPU hot-swapping? Most consumer-grade PCIe chipsets don't support it, and even the OS probably doesn't support it. USB-C supports it, but that's a standard designed for external connectors, I don't think that there's a reliable internal USB C edge connector or something.

If china wants to deliver to the west they'll need to improve working conditions. Chinese companies will deliver at spec for lowest cost, if you up the spec, they'll adjust and increase cost adjustingly.
The fact that the makers of such LLM make a post about it shows that they have incentive to cater to even these kind of use cases
Well, it’s encrypted in transit, maybe encrypted in their storage on their backend. But when the text, after being decrypted, appears in their textviews and websites I don’t think it is not kosher for them to tag every single word and glean lots of data/metadata from there and send home do their magic without associating with the identity. I thought that is something that is given. They also have not touched upon it. Except maybe the “Logging limitations” part - that section read like hogwash to me.

A kind of fatigue is setting in when it comes to Fb messenger and Instagram. They have already bloated these apps and they can’t really add any other gimmicks. So they are trying the “other” gimmick now.

My take is or guess is - they are doing it because they really have nothing else to do.
Quite a few people in my social circle that I'd consider essential to the event and its culture have stated they will not attend due to the lack of any COVID precautions, announced in a blog post that was a bit tone deaf. That might factor in.

I guess it’s about the ”different markets”. I know the nordic art scene a bit and it looks like it’s hard market for ”good artists” trying to sell quality art as in order to ”qualify” for the scene there is a limited amount of gatekeepers and it’s not about skill for sure. The most talented artist I personally know retrained as doctor because art market was just too hard (this should tell something about the talent level - his art was impeccable and regarding his other qualities just choosing to go to medical school - into which many people try to get into for years - displays his other skill levels). So high end - it’s about luck, connections and brand rather than skill.

If one chooses to operate in the non-gallery market, I’m sure it’s a bit easier. But also I guess this locks you out from the high-end prestige art market. Because - you know - selling to the plebs is so disqualifying (the latter part is my own inference and if some people know better please do counter me).
What's wrong with bombing terrorists? At least they do everything to avoid civilians, unlike Hamas and Hezbollah, who specifically target civilians.

What's wrong with providing a service to Israel's military (the only democracy in the Middle east, and tolerant of others)? They literally call civilians in an area before bombing for their safety. What other military in the world does that during a war?

Did you know Amazon provides massive service to the US military and federal agencies?
I’m not interested in giving advice to individuals about whether they can travel somewhere or not, though in your case the question immediately arises as to how authorities would know that your friend is gay if he kept his orientation to himself. My post above only emphasized that when gay travelers look at the situation and make their choice about whether to travel to certain countries or not, obviously some of them choose to go regardless.
etcetera is found in ~500 years old books, and et cetera itself comes from et caetera, from the Greek καὶ τὰ ἕτερα. Which one should we use then? Should we only use the Latin from 1 BCE/CE or the vulgar Latin that evolved after? :-)

Maybe I do not feel it like a big issue, since many Latin languages use it a single word (such as Italian with eccetera, Spanish, Portuguese), due to the evolution of the language.

> big consultancies so that their developers don't quit and start working with their clients directly taking profit for themselves.

That and also to make it look like the government has increased the financing of the NHS and other government agencies that rely on contractors.

Here is how it works: increase daily rates by classifying workers inside ir35, allocate more funding, claim half the finding back through taxes, use money for something else.

But indeed the main reason is to help consultancies - notably those such as Infosys, owned by the prime minister’s family.

The result is a steady brain drain, outsourcing of work, and a drop in quality.

I do agree that some folks have been disguised employees, but the majority were not. Contracting has been the main driver of innovation - the best in tech were motivated to spread the knowledge and prop up the industry. Some of the best engineers I knew, hired or worked with, were contractors. Now a significant portion have left the country, are serving us clients or are moving on to something else. Being a permanent worker is simply not attractive given the low pay.

We can also answer (in the same way) about the escalations in the last few decades since 1948. Almost everything Israel did was reactive, they rarely shot first.
Right, I don't want to get drawn into an internet argument, but it's demonstrably false to say that Hamas targeted ONLY civilians. Military bases were run over too.

I used to work in the telescope world. Our organization acquired another organization that was working on NGAT: Next Generation Astronomical Telescope. At the time, we were also working on newer telescope models, and I joked about what we would name those…

This seems like a pretty dumb reason.

If they can set the PGP key they can also change the email. If the account recovery team allows access to recently removed emails as part of the recovery process then it should also allow contacting those addresses without a recently added PGP key.

Logically adding a PGP key is equivalent to changing the email, the previous person can't access the messages anymore. If the recovery process handles these cases differently it is a flaw in the process.
It was simple yes / no question. And somewhat rhetorical.

Like it or not, price matters. Yes, there's added value. I'm simply asking a realistic case be made for the price of the added value.

Put another way, I don't want to make a long term-ish investment in an ecosystem only to have that system disappear before I reap the benefits. That is, is Framework in touch with the market or not?

For example, if Framework is upgradable *and* built to last, will one Framework machine equate to 2 - maybe even 3 - other brand machines? That closes the gap, yes? But if the brand can't communicate / sell that or similar benefits, the brand's mission will be over sooner rather than later.
A Michael Mann film, no less! An all-around great piece of cinema.
This is doable and has been done. Briar is an example. The Tor network is used for transport and there is no central server. Even the clients don't know who is talking to who, everything is done in terms of the crytographic identity number. That means that even the users don't for sure know who they are talking to; as part of the introduction to someone you have to give the name you will know them by.

The Briar way of doing things actually solves an important E2EE usability issue. Since the cryptographic identity is the only identity, it is much harder for the user to end up using the system without a verified identity.
I don’t think it’s normal human nature to assault / murder / psychologically torture / ruin the life of / etc someone who points out what your group is doing wrong. It may happen from time to time, enough that it should be a potential expected response. But just like psychopathy and schizophrenia are abnormal, so is murdering or ruining the life of a whistleblower.

1-2% of the population may be a sociopath / psychopath — but its still considered “abnormal psychology”.

If someone had proof that a device I made was hurting people, I wouldn’t try to destroy their life or kill them.

A lot of this whistleblowing doesnt even have jailtime as a consequence to those who failed their duty of care - often it just means they’ll make a few million less dollars but still be plenty comfortable.

We shouldn’t feel its “normal” to murder / torture / assault or ruin the lives of these whistleblowers any more than we think sociopaths are “normal”.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/06/ebay-execs-sent-... <- this is not just normal “human nature”. It’s the result of abnormal psychology.
On Linux, you can expose raw image files as storage devices using "loop devices" - the "losetup" command will turn any flat file into an attached storage device as /dev/loop*, you can then run your RAID of choice on that.

By the way, if you want to play with ZFS, it supports using flat files as backing "devices" naturally, so you don't even need to fake a drive using loop devices.
A security conscious person should assume that whatever can be exploited will be exploited - especially when dealing with actors that are economically incentivized to do creepy things.

So many laws go against human nature; those might be the most important laws.

I don't expect the greedy and powerful to change, but as a society we should do more to protect whistleblowers, the same way we protect threatened witnesses.

Also, more solidarity between workers, although not always possible, would go a long way. So many Google employees can definitely afford to quit in solidarity, or strike. Not saying it's easy, I recognize it isn't.
