Your example right here is exactly why I care so much about this.

If people think "they listen to me through the microphone" it distracts them from understanding what's actually happening - the whole sequence of things you listed there.

Which means they can't take measures to protect themselves, or campaign for better practices - because they're working off the wrong mental model of how this stuff works.

Seems like an s3 bucket would have been a better alternative. We have no idea what OpenAI does with Dropbox customer data outside of storing it for 30 days. They're doing something, basically all Dropbox customer files with get propagated to OpenAI by default and that should be scary, not feel good.

Dropbox’s practices aren’t unprecedented, but customer documents do pass through OpenAI’s servers and are stored there for up to 30 days, and the “third-party AI” toggle is turned on by default in account settings.

Because it would not have the same meaning. The point of the phrasing is that the time the Seattle PD stopped being motivated to do their job was close to eight years ago, and they have continued to be unmotivated since then.

"1000 years ago the budget wasn't cut" does not convey that information.

> If I send private data to Dropbox they can't send it to anyone for any reason, including "improving" their product, without my explicit and informed consent. I'm not sure how this is even debatable.

It'd debatable because your data isn't "private" when you foolishly hand it over to some third party without encrypting it first and their policies say they can basically use it for anything as long as they can claim that it was "in furtherance of its legitimate interests in operating our Services and business". In fact their policy says they can update their policies any time they feel like it.

Privacy policies aren't even legally binding. If you're in the US and didn't sign a contract with dropbox you have near-zero rights, and any attempt to assert whatever rights you think you have will require going to court which is basically a pay to win system and you'll be up against a company with billions in assets so good luck with that.

Yes, it'd be a very shitty thing for dropbox to outright violate the trust you put in them, and it might be a terrible business decision that means no one ever trusts dropbox with their data again, but if they one day decided to go fully evil and start handing your data over to anyone willing to pay for it I doubt there'd be much of anything you could do about it.

Don't put any data you care about in the cloud without locally backing up and encrypting it and you'll never have to worry about what the cloud provider does with it or who they give it to.
Not to mention that a lot of the time it wasn't just that they didn't ask first, but they ignored specific widely used and machine readable license abbreviations and copyright symbols attached to the content

If a corporation argues that it can ignore your AGPL because it didn't have to blow the bloody doors off to get hold of your code and its training process is "just like your browser cache" or "a person learning" and the derivative stuff is completely novel, why would you trust them not to deploy the same "but it's not exactly copying" arguments when given access to other stuff that has third-party "no copying" agreements wrapped around it, like your Dropbox?
what the person said was "we could access any data we want, we just don't".

There's no way they fall under one of those exemptions, especially if they don't need it to do their job. If anything, the statement "we just don't" is indicative that they wouldn't fall under those exemptions.

But really the point was that this stuff is heavily regulated. If a company isn't following those regulations that's going to bite them in the ass eventually.

Typically speaking, you can convince auditors of a lot of things but it only takes getting the wrong auditor for it to all go down hill.

Sourcegraph Cody is Generally Available (Free and $9/month)
The computers my mother worked with (1960s?) only had 6 bits per character. So with 2^6 = 64 different characters, there weren't enough characters to have both upper case (26 chars) and lower case (26 chars) plus all the numbers (10 chars) and symbols etc. you'd need. So they only had upper case.

I think it sort of stuck from there, that computers and commands etc. used upper case.

How so? It's pretty easy to see how economic value can be created via stocks and bonds: they're basically indirect ways to give companies or governments money for investment. That money can then be used to hire more/better people, buy equipment, or build infrastructure, which will hopefully produce more value than it cost. What's the equivalent in cryptocurrency speculation or "yield farming"? Can you explain where the value actually comes from there?

So if a true statement can never be falsified then according to you it can still be falsifiable?

If your way of defining it is true then it's just a bad formal definition of falsifiability because you can make a sentence that sounds nonsensical like the one I made above. It means falsify and falsifiability are two different words with different definitions. When you look at the words they appear to be the same word with just different suffixes.

Let's examine the implications of your definition more carefully. If I falsify something. I either failed or succeeded at falsifying it. If there exists a thing that where all possible attempts at falsification will fail then it is still "falsifiable" because the attempt to falsify was possible??

If you are impossible to kill then you are still killable? If numbers cannot be divided by zero but it is still "divisible" by zero because I can make a fool hardy attempt at it?

From this I will say that my colloquial use of the term is actually better than your claim about the formal definition of falsifiability.

Better to use the word "observability". One cannot gather observable evidence to conduct an experiment. That's the key differentiator here.

> Cody's code completions differ from standard AI code completions through the use of an open source LLM enhanced with Cody's context engine. Specifically, we've found the type of context that helps a lot with completions is graph context. Graph context takes advantage of Sourcegraph’s expertise in parsing code and producing a graph that captures semantic understanding of your code. Pulling in this semantic code graph into context reduces the rate of common LLM hallucinations like type errors and imaginary function names.

> By using the open source StarCoder LLM, we've been able to make completion latency very low. It also gives us access to signals such as token-level log probabilities, which we can incorporate into end-user signals.

> The combination of these qualities allows us to hit a Completion Acceptance Rate of 30% or higher, depending on the scenario. And we’re just getting started. Upcoming versions of Cody will integrate more of Sourcegraph's universal code graph into the context engine. Users of Cody will see these improvements in the coming weeks and months.

1) Are you sure? Inflationary monetary policy is literally "people who try to hold cash will lose all their savings over 50 years". You must know someone who tried that; it's an easy mistake to make and most people are really bad at understanding investment.

2) The Bitcoin price is currently comparable to its all-time highs. So someone who lost all their money on crypto was doing something more exotic than just buying and holding a diverse basket of cryptos.
Coinbase is an American company, but operates globally. From wikipedia:

"Coinbase operates as a remote-first company and has no physical headquarters.[5] As part of its SEC filing to go public, the company reported 43 million verified users, 7,000 institutions, and 115,000 ecosystem partners in over 100 countries."

As for inflation, let me refer you to this post (and thread), a favorite of mine.

Whenever you cite papers just because you're "politically supposed to", even though you don't think it's really intellectually useful for anyone to be aware of the cited paper, you're making the citations less useful for everybody.

Schmidhuber is only the worst of many abusers of the citation system. Everyone knows that anonymous reviewers are more likely to approve of people who cite their work. Someone is politically powerful? Better cite their paper, even though you don't really think it's a good paper and you didn't use it.

Schmidhuber is cited far more often than he should be, because people just don't want to deal with this crap, and the cost of sticking in one more citation is very low.

Nowhere did I say it's greater, but still significant compared to how higways - which will still exist anyway - are much more useful and have more freedom of access (eg. for freight companies, emergency services). If most of society has this dissonance, maybe it'd be useful to overthink it. There are many ways to make personal travel greener, and that may be the more attainable goal.
This is specifically about why they chose upper case, instead of lower case, given they could only pick one.
> by converting air moisture to liquid water using a compressor, the dehumidifier is releasing the latent energy of water vapor

The latent heat does get released, but the question is, where does it go?

In an air conditioner, which also condenses water vapor from the air, the heat released goes into the refrigerant, which means it ultimately gets put into the atmosphere outside from the condenser.

A dehumidifier is basically an air conditioner without an outside unit, so the heat from the condensation of water vapor goes into the refrigerant, but then gets put into the room from the condenser, instead of outside.

In the beginning, encoding was done just for single letters, not for a combination of lower an upper case letters (it was an evolution that later lead to the creation of ASCII code set). This had to do with limited amount of storage in early computers, and the fact that people had to use punch cards to enter data. Upper case is preferred because it is more legible and the standard form of letters in the western world.
New anon account so I can speak openly about the future.

My jaw is on the floor because this post seems like it could have been written by my future self. I can’t believe how much in common I have with the author.

I’ve realized I’m burnt out and have been planning to quit my job early next year (wanting to state this is the reason for the anon account).

But there’s a lot of people who are probably feeling this same way. What’s astonishing to me is what the author did is almost exactly what I’ve been daydreaming about doing in my time off.

I’ve also been thinking about the open/IndieWeb and how I’d like to engage with it. I was planning to build some sort of app to experiment in this space.

There are similarities even down to one of the specific problems in this space: how to prevent infrequent posts from being lost in the flood. And technical considerations: what languages and technologies to use. I had also been considering building something using modern web technologies, where I’m about 10 years out of date on web development.

In some ways, I’m delighted there’s another person out there to provide some validation to what I’ve been thinking and feeling recently. It makes me feel like I’m going to head down the right path.

In other ways, I’m upset and jealous the author got there first.

"Inflation Hedge" means you have an correlation with Inflation. Or in statistical terms, reason to believe that r-value is positive. (ie: if Inflation is +9%, then inflation-hedge is positive, or even close to +9%, though it could be +18% or whatever. If inflation is -5%, then an inflation-hedge should also be -5% or otherwise negative)

Anyone claiming "inflation hedge" needs to tell me how they calculated this correlation.
The schwartzchild solution comes with a bunch of caveats!

For example, it is eternal, it's not the result of a collapse solution. As far as I know, no one has an analytic solution yet for black hole collapse of say a star in finite time.

For an outside observer, in fact I believe an infalling object into a black hole is never observed to reach the event horizon at all. Since the infalling object could communicate (using light) with the outside observer, there's a sense in which they must agree on whether the object has or hasn't crossed the event horizon -- in this case, the non-observation of crossing the event horizon must not be just apparent, because of this communication.

Since event horizons couldn't form in this case, then it should follow that a black hole cannot gain mass at all. I've yet to see a satisfactory debunk of those claims, at least at a level I could understand.

What line? As you say, they were just bitmaps, so the font designer could declare the font's baseline as "3/4 of the way down the character bitmap and draw lower case letters just fine.
Consider this argument: if you can see the person falling in for "infinitely long", then you can actually communicate with this person falling in. For example, through light or gestures. Since you can communicate, this means the image you see of the person falling in is not just an illusion or artifact of general relativity, you both must agree on reality, that the person still hasn't crossed the horizon.

Yes, the sudo bit is a drawback. The daemon drops privileges early, though. There is some work in the kernel space for rootless fanotify, which I look forward to.

I think that works both for and against your point though. For the very same reason, it's not likely there will ever be a way to reliably solve this technologically. So while we may need some technological measures, we also need to educate parents and kids about this at the same time. Anyone trying to sell a technological 'this will solve the porn problem' solution should be viewed with a very critical eye.
