-rcan used to generally lean slightly left, and banned terrible sources, bigotry as well as outright fake news

-metacanada didn’t like that white nationalism wasn’t allowed, and that far right “sources” weren’t allowed

-metacanadians get a couple people on the mod team who pretended for years to being more centrist/slightly left

-metacanadians began whining for MONTHS that the right wing had no representation on the mod team (except the couple that were there pretending to be reasonable)

-/r/Canada sleuths demonstrate that multiple mods on the team were in fact alts of metacanadians already, and that further implementing metacanadians mods would lead to a takeover

-/r/Canada mods disagreed, and installed a couple more /r/metacanada mods

-/r/metacanada now has the majority moderator total and begins a full takeover by actively harming the moderation and “showing the moderation is ineffective” which can lead to Reddit admins “stealing” a sub from you (and in this case did)

-/r/Canada is now essentially just an alt-right propaganda outlet that actively allows bigotry, and, in true conservative fashion, instantly bans criticism of the sub and mods.

Is anyone actually using these small models for general purpose applications? Or are they just used to fine tune into narrowly useful specialized models?

I keep seeing them pass each other on different benchmarks and leaderboards and I can't help but imagine that so many of them are only good at benchmarks and not much else.

I haven't gotten a chance to play with this stuff yet so I have no basis to go off of, but I'd like to hear from anyone who's actually been impressed by any of these small models for general purpose tasks.

I am of the opinion that legalization is one of the steps needed to really solve the drug problem. I think it's not the only one because it only truly solves certain parts of the issue, on the harm reduction front.

Just having public health facilities available for users doesn't do anything either if they're not going to them. Extended, proactive, pervasive engagement with those users in a way that helps them climb out of the hole they've ended up in is also key.
Same here. The flood of ads I got recently pushing sketchy CFD trade platforms is goddamn annoying, and that's not even counting all the youtube channels pushing questionable stuff like Athletic Greens [2] or similar "quality" supplements and pills.

At least on linear TV, there was some quality assurance in the ad buyer departments. Youtube, Google, Meta, the countless "chumbox" players (Taboola, Outbrain and others [1]) - they all thrive on letting everyone do whatever the f..k they want, with barely any human in loop.

Perhaps it's why I've never been good at such dinner conversations.

>I've got a treadmill under my work desk. I notice that when I'm walking I can focus on meetings and actually process auditory information way better. Makes me wonder how I would've done in school if walking was an option.

I wish I had a desk treadmill, but I completely agree with you. We are not meant to sit at desks all day every day. We are meant to move, to exercise, to be active. I would have done SO much better in school (and in life) had I been able to move more.

I love tech, gaming, and solitary activities, but I really think that schools need to prioritize physical activity as well, because so many young children are diagnosed as ADHD and the reason for that is that they simply don't get the amount of exercise required. You show me a kid with ADHD, I show you a kid whose parents shoved a screen in front of them as a toddler, and a kid whose parents are afraid to make the kid work hard physically. I am one of them, although I did take to organized sports as a young teen (which helped me tremendously, but would have helped much moreso if I had started earlier). It carries into adulthood as well. People have concentration issues because they aren't physically conditioned to concentrate for long periods of time.
The projected climate-driven increase in turbulence as a marketing point is interesting, but there are caveats. Research studies do point to turbulence increases in certain seasons and latitudes:

> "Climate modelling studies have indicated that the volume of airspace containing moderate-or-greater clear-air turbulence on transatlantic flight routes in winter will increase by 40%–170%, relative to pre-industrial times, when the CO2 is doubled"

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00376-017-6268-2

The CO2 doubling point is expected to arrive in ~60 years at current fossil fuel combustion rates, but I'd expect by that time a very large fraction of short-distance air travel will have moved to (electrified) high-speed rail as it's far cheaper per distance traveled. Also, as others note, this technology doesn't seem applicable to trans-oceanic jet travel.
Well, our borders might be legally closed, but with 2.2 million people illegally crossing them from the southern border per year, that is the entire population of Houston, maybe it's fair to say they're closed but effectively open.

Seems like best of both worlds for scam ads with notes to still appear. The scammers keep paying the platform, user's learn how to spot scams via the notes, and the platform makes money.
> what are rules, but merely (legal) attempts to make the rule-maker more powerful

You've got to be kidding me. Here's one: coordination. Everyone drive on the right. That wasn't done to make anyone more powerful; it was done to prevent stupid crashes.

Here's another rule: don't fly you plane past its spec. That isn't to oppress the pilot. It's because the plane wasn't designed to be flown harder.
> Traditional AOT languages don't make promises about what happens if you try to dereference null. And they don't depend on a page fault happening.

The language doesn't make any promise yet on every major platform for the last 40 years a null deref resulted in a segfault because the lower address space is marked invalid.

This is absolutely, 100% baked into the practical expectations of every traditional AOT language at this point.

> For higher level runtimes, can you name some common ones that use page faults that way?

Android's ART does. I'd be shocked if OpenJDK doesn't for the same reason. Same with .NET or any other mature JIT runtime. It's obviously ridiculously expensive to insert null checks before every object access, and since the CPU & some page protections can do it for free why would you pay that?

Whenever I'm flying on the B787, I prefer to sit right behind the wing to watch the flaperons do their thing. I know it's a little different than this, as it's more of a PID driven behavior rather than an active predictive system. But regardless, it's quite impressive to watch how they are constantly reacting despite the plane seemingly not moving at all. They move very delicate and precise, which must be difficult to do when travelling at 500mph.

Please do something about Comcast. They've ripped me off for over 20 years and I'm so sick of it. You sign up for a promotional offer then they just slowly raise prices and boil the frog. You have to cancel and go through all these negotiation tactics just to not get ripped off. Same thing with all their competitors too. And the speeds they offer are not the same speeds you actually get. You usually get 1/10th or 1/20th of the actual speed offered on average. It's a complete scam. Then you go abroad and see how every their developed country has better quality service for a fraction of the price.

Schoolbooks for example have wildly out of date facts, or are brief to the point of inaccuracy. Much less watching any history channel show as those tend to suck badly.

One of the things AI's commonly allow is for people to ask questions without fear of judgement. I've not seen one scowl and call a kid an idiot yet (though I'm sure someone has a jailbreak for that). Having an AI trained to take these kids off the wall (and often based on historical inaccuracies) questions would be a really interesting tool.

Just not the only tool, and not really one that should be fully authoritative in itself.

Samsung is an Android partner. Google already indemnifies them for patent infringement, so no surprise there.

IDK, when I used a Mac at work ~2y ago every time I connected my headphones it would prefer them as the audio source. I have a USB mic always plugged in but I couldn't find any way to prevent it from switching to the headphone mic. I always had to many switch the input source after plugging in my headphones before I joined a call or something.

Mistral-7B is surprisingly decent for general purpose small tasks. The more complex the task or the more specific the knowledge recall, the worse the performance since the smaller the models are - the less breadth they tend to have.

I just watched a video about building a startup. One of the key points was to use what you know to get an MVP. Don't fret over which language or library to use (unless the goal is to learn a new framework). Just get building. I may not be a pro dev, but there is one thing I have learned over the years from hanging out amongst all of you. And that is, it doesnt matter if you are using emacs or vim, tabs vs spaces, or Java vs Python, the end product after all is what matters at the end of the day. Code can always be refactored.

Good luck in your development journey.
Nobody claimed governments never expand their powers. The contested statement was "government will never willingly give up power." Examples of governments curtailing their powers were provided. That they also increase their powers is unremarkable, uncontested and frankly obvious given you can't decrease something that was never increased.
But having the company update a TOS that automatically removes rights from the consumer, after the consumer already agreed to a TOS that didn't previously restrict those rights is likely not going to hold up in court, either. Especially when the TOS changes were made after an event likely to trigger litigation.

This isn't a case of a minor change to consumer rights in the TOS like changing who would arbitrate a case. It's a significant restrictive change to the rights of the customer in favor of the company. And it was made after a security breach that affected a huge portion of the companies clients which is likely to trigger lawsuits of the form that the TOS now seeks to restrict.

This is clearly a case of attempting to close the barn door after the horse was spotted in the next county over.

> Tesla Model 3 with FSD isn't a greater hazard on the road

It's the same as with the Boeing MCAS really. Is the "F"SD capable of crashing the car into another car or pedestrians? What is its rate of failure? If the answer to the first question is yes, and the second isn't negligible, it has no place on public roads.
But this has nothing to do with the halting problem. You can run the code, you don't need to do this theoretically.
> I decided to work on this project out of frustration, probably shared with more people here, and that's why I'm submitting it.

Frustration is great to initiate action, but usually doesn't work well as a sustained source of motivation. Sometimes it's just a matter of rephrasing the situation. You have an appreciation for audio quality - let that (rather than the frustration) guide Recadio's continued development. Wish you best on the journey <3

So who's responsible if a car is driving down the road and a tire explodes causing the car to cause an accident. Should the road, car, driver, or nail be responsible? Should the nail manufacture also be thrown in the mix? There is a thing called proportionality as well as the progress of science and arts. This is generally a well settled principle.
I think we are in agreement here. What I was responding to was your seemingly lack of interest in solutions only commenting about still being able to blame folks for decisions they made whereas I think if we are going to spend we should spend to take folks off the streets and get them help or further remove what is seen as a blight to an otherwise beautiful city.

I think there was a general pattern of people striking back against mass forced arbitration by saying "ok, that's fine, we'll all go to arbitration at once". And companies ended up having to foot the bill for hundreds or thousands of arbitration cases...

Newer arbitration clauses that I've seen now cover this scenario. Something like "If many identical cases come forward at the same time, you agree to combine your cases in a single arbitration action"

Looks like CR wrote about it:

Partially, that is because the production, export, import, sale and advertising of tobacco is strictly regulated in most countries... there isn't any money to be made for scammers, and the illicit actors that do exist (e.g. counterfeiters or smugglers) don't want to attract open attention or paper trails.
It's striking how history repeats itself. Just like TV and newspapers eventually faced regulations to prevent scam ads, the internet has been in a similar bind for at least a decade. The principles of law should extend to all mediums, yet it seems we're at a stalemate with federal regulations adapting to the digital age. This should've been handled back in 2012.
FWIW you don't really need an app store, you could download APKs off vendors/publishers, verify signatures and mind updates (except Apple won't let you, but that's a different story).

You want to use an app store, fine, use an app store and pay some commission on what you buy there, it's not a problem, reaching into any purchase done after the initial download is.

Google should be reviewing all ads they show, and should absolutely be liable for the content, especially if they're alerted to the fact that it's a scam (which makes them not just negligent but an accessory).

The best model in the history of models, maybe ever?
Our internet was out for a week recently, so I bought Starlink. It's cheaper and faster than anything else available out here.
The problem is that that isn't what this bill is about - we can have a reasonable discussion on whether an AI written article or tweet or whatever should have the same Section 230 protections - but even things that are human written and do not have their content changed in a material way, and instead are just spellchecked or similar, also fall under this proposed legislation.
I found it mildly funny/amusing.

Why would you want to announce to the client that he is tripping on a security? When erratic behaviour is detected, systems usually deny access or request more authentication.

In the second case, this seems like a nice quality of life code, but this should be mentioned in the rfc and not left for me to figure out. Besides, a more generic "please reauthenticate now" would fit better (as to not expose the reason?) or even reusing the 403 forbidden could work for this usecase.
I've been seeing YouTube ads for a fake Super Mario game. And it isn't even a lookalike, it actually says "Super Mario" in the title and uses completely ripped off assets. I've seen a ton of this kind of thing lately. Just the absolute toilet-scrapings of ad customers. It's almost as bad as Twitter some weeks.

Google's in some serious trouble. They've hit maximum revenue stream, but the Jerrys[1] of the company rely on perpetual growth for their careers to exist, so they will push, consciously or unconsciously, to find more revenue anywhere, even by selling out the product's future.
