Levinsohn has a colourful history. Per Wikipedia:

> From 2001 to 2005, Levinsohn was senior vice president and general manager at Fox Sports Interactive Media, a division of News Corporation.[9] In late 2004, he was named president of Fox Interactive Media and oversaw a controversial, and arguably fraudulent, acquisition of MySpace for $580 million.[10] Levinsohn resigned from News Corp. in November 2006 and was replaced by his cousin.[11]

> Levinsohn led Yahoo for two months as interim CEO in 2012. After the board of directors passed him over for the permanent CEO position, hiring Google executive Marissa Mayer, Levinsohn left the company.[18]

> In 2014, Levinsohn became executive chairman of Scout Media, a sports digital media network.[20] The firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2016, seeking approval to sell what remained of the business at auction.[21][22] Levinsohn and Heckman were named as defendants in a shareholder lawsuit filed in 2017, in federal court.[23]

> On 21 August 2017, Levinsohn was named the publisher and CEO of the Los Angeles Times by tronc, replacing Davan Maharaj.[24] Levinsohn was placed on unpaid leave in January 2018, after reports of two sexual harassment lawsuits, 'frat house' behavior and questionable decisions on the job from interviews with 26 former colleagues and associates.[27][28] A law firm hired by Tronc to investigate the sexual harassment claims found no wrongdoing after a three-week investigation.[26][29]

The Guardian article is a bit handwavy about the AI connection but I don't think there's any evidence that this led to Levinsohn's undoing. Maven/Arena has been a... challenging company for some time.
It’s not like there was some centralized decision making here. It’s possible for the two cases to be contradictory, given jury vs bench, and a whole host of other reasons. I think it’s safe to say that there’s still a long road ahead for both cases, and it’s possible that one outcome will affect the other in the appeals process. Not to mention any legislation that might get passed as a result.
Also in TN, my fiber is bundled with my electric and is absurdly good. TN has good infra, it's nice to feel the benefits.
oh my, got thrown decades back... Pascal was definitely the first language I used to develop the algorithms and understand how it works...
Most other platforms are still banning Alex Jones, for example, so I think it's consistent-ish.

Though, ultimately, who knows. It may be that Bell was seeing poor returns on their X advertising and used the excuse of extremism to get some brownie points with a portion of their customers while saving money.
Quoted:

> The release did not mention the AI scandal from November, which was spurred by an investigative report published by the science and technology news publication Futurism.
Earlier this year, a round of layoffs hit the magazine shortly after the Arena Group’s CEO and chairman, Ross Levinsohn, announced the company’s incorporation of AI.

Help – Tooling for AI Product Management
Hey folks,

TLDR: Can you suggest a tool that helps PMs to evaluate and communicate the model performance (vision based)

I am working as PM in a seed pre-PMF computer vision startup. One of the most annoying and time-consuming parts of my job is to communicate how well a model performs: Customers want to know it, sales wants to know it, founders want to know it.

Metrics from trained models useless since training data usually varies significantly from production data. There were a few attempts to create custom datasets that are closer to our production data, but this process took a lot of time and the results were quite disappointing.

I was super frustrated and set up my own workflow, which kind of works. But neither is it reliable, nor scalable, nor do I have time to it regularly:

I am asking the ML engineer to upload a bunch of production data incl. prediction into a labelling tool (CVAT)

I filter for a class of interest

I go over each single prediction instance and note down on my iPad if it's a TP or FP until I get to roughly 200 instances of the class

Repeat for as many classes as I want

Document the results in Confluence.

This feels like such a waste of time. Every time there's a new model in production, I have to repeat the process, update the results and communicate them. I have done some research but none of the observability and monitoring tools out there seem to be targeted towards the evaluation and communication of the models.

Would appreciate any suggestions <3
You made an open source tool and shared it with the world. Use whatever you want and don't feel bad about it. GP can port it to whatever native framework they want

This may not be in the dictionary, but it's an English word with a common prefix and suffix. If we consider English to be an agglutinative language or have agglutinative parts, this is just a rarely used form of a word, and I wouldn't think a second about using it in a general context. Trying to reserve it in this specific context of platform decay I think probably won't stick and I don't get why it's a headline or has a whole Wikipedia article

What stands out to me (as read elsewhere):

Democracies are less likely to wage wars than autocratic regimes.

So one way to view this report is as a sign of the world sliding back to autocrats / dictatorships.
> Just take away their drugs, if they use drugs in public.

Seems short sighted. Do you know how people act when they want to get high and can't? When they're going through serious withdrawal?

Just taking their drugs is going to get people hurt. They will either hurt themselves, or they will hurt other people.

At least with commercial aviation, unless you can’t get ahold of new planes they get replaced much earlier than that due to wanting ever more efficient planes and more stringent noise regulations.

The old clunkers still around are mostly used in sanctioned countries, or where a market failure has failed to provide a decent equivalent (757/767)
> From everything I've seen, the x86 and x86-64 instruction sets are loaded with "it seemed like a good idea at the time", "if you couldn't count on FPU / MMX / SSE instructions being available...", and similar waste-of-silicon instructions.

They are, but a lot of "instructions" these days don't even map onto native silicon logic anyway like they used to. It's all microcode these days.
How are Rust and JS APIs similar, and why would it matter?

AFAIK the only competitive JS engines written in memory safe languages are GraalJS and other JS-on-the-JVM runtimes. GraalJS has the advantage of being fully up to date, not having any memory unsafe code in it (the JIT compiler that makes it fast is a separate module, also written in a memory safe language, and the JS impl does not have low level code in it). And you can run it on SubstrateVM which is a virtual machine also written in a memory safe language, although of course small parts like the GC need to use unsafe features.

It also has other useful features like sandboxing and the ability to interop with other languages like Python or Java. Plus, it can actually sandbox native code as well because the "languages" that you can run on GraalVM include both wasm and more usefully LLVM bitcode, in which each individual C/C++ allocation becomes GC-managed and bounds checked.

So in terms of memory safety the Graal team are way ahead there.

(disclosure: I recently started part time work with the GraalVM team, but was a long term supporter before that)

I think two things, first, these people downloading videos from torrents might not be aware what they're doing is illegal (and it might not even actually be illegal - just because a lawyer sends you a letter, it doesn't mean you're breaking the law...).

Second, if you like a particular porn star, you want to see their videos, and porn is star driven. It's the same reason Jordans cost so much more than your average sneaker and people line up for them. It's the same reason why Taylor Swift tickets cost so much more than Pink tickets, etc.
Yes. What's the problem?
Right. Word processing or image editing software aren't protected by Section 230, and they aren't forced to monitor their users for crime.

Good, their pricing is often so skewed and totally reflective of their monopolistic capture of certain regions. They act like monopoly but aren't regulated as one.
I don't care how we get advertisers out of social media. I only care that we do - up to and including shutting down platforms like Twitter, TT, FB, IG, etc. At this point it's pretty clear that ad-subsidised social media is not aligned with the best interests of its users.

Apologies if that's a controversial take.

I can’t believe this argument is being made in good faith, but just in case: do you not realize that the number of laws need not scale with the size of the population? Especially when that growth is less than an order of magnitude?
Random people from all these countries can name of the top of their head a bunch of any of the following:

- US presidents

- US pop artists

- US filmmakers

- US cities

- US CEOs

- US companies

- US TV shows

I stopped there but I could go on for long. Now, take any country X other than the US and ask a random resident of any of the other countries to name just one of each category: a president of X, a CEO, a film, etc... If you think the answer has any chance to compete with the equivalent question asked of the US, well, I think you don't realize how big the cultural influence of the US is. What is domestic news in the US is still news in the rest of the world, but the reverse is simply not true.

Yes, with the A2DP profile (high quality music) things work good enough for me not to notice. Maybe you could hear some differences on a side to side comparison, but it's good enough.

The real problem comes with the HFP profile. Lack of decent codecs, and bandwidth limitations of Bluetooth make it really hard to solve. Not to mention the vast majority of devices you own can't upgrade codecs, or just won't because there aren't incentives.
OK this is reasonable. Perhaps my experience skews towards the lower-level a bit too much. And it's also reasonable I'm misusing the language given it's not my day job.

To answer your question, I'm referring to much of the networking code in socket2 / socket, which uses MaybeUninit when doing non-standard stuff like forming your own packets. (RAW)

I have Spectrum and AT&T because I work from home and need redundancy. Spectrum recently pushed my $100-ish a month package up to 2.5 Gbps for the same price I signed up with at 1 Gbps.

What's interesting is the arm-twisting I got when I signed up and the rep tried multiple times to persuade me to cancel AT&T's service and how hard they pushed me to sign up for wireless as well.

Basically - I assume the increase to 2.5 Gbps is because gasp there's moderate competition in my neighborhood. If AT&T wasn't here, I doubt I'd have seen an increase without a bump in monthly cost.
There is absolutely nothing free about utility markets. They are much closer to Chomsky's nanny state than any free market ideology.
Oh right. For non realtime, if you're not IO bound, this is better. Though I'd wonder how portable the codec code itself would be.

The Swatch brand was founded 1983 by ETA CEO Thomke and his Engineers. ETA is a watch movement manufacturer.

The reason Chattanooga is even allowed to offer fiber internet service is that TECHNICALLY it is for monitoring their power delivery infrastructure, down to each household. Customer internet is just an "additional benefit."

When your power disconnect here (without explanation), somebody from the power company shows up within the hour (to figure out why, then replace any broken hardware). But this is rare, as the "auto switchers" can typically reroute blackouts, restoring service usually within seconds.
Have you handled the boxes recently? They are more than 50% air by volume.
Calm down, it's just a technical term when talking about voter behaviour - the "faithfuls" being voters extremely unlikely to ever change their preference (regardless of what it is). It's a fact of life that many voters have "for life" preferences.
FWIW, I have Verizon FiOS in NYC at a reasonable price. The city of NY and the state do their best to keep Verizon and Spectrum at arms length.

By way of contrast, my parents live in the mid-west and were plagued between a choice of slow AT&T DSL or expensive but slightly faster Comcast/Spectrum/Consolidated (A terrible overbuild provider) cable internet.

The game changed entirely when Google Fiber started rolling out. First in the inner city, then to inner suburbs and just recently to the outer suburbs after spending the better part of decade fighting city councils that obviously preferred Spectrum and AT&T.

Since then
1. Prices have stabilized and declined somewhat from the incumbent carriers.
2. Spectrum did an in-place upgrade and now 500 Mbps down is standard for a reasonable price. AT&T turned around and built it's own GPON network ahead of Google fiber in areas where Google didn't have service.

Isn't competition wonderful?
> providing perspective as a user of city-supplied fiber internet:

Yup, I live in another city that has a setup like this (Conway, AR of all places). Ours even goes a little further than EPB though.

Electricity, Water, Sewer, Trash, Cable, Phone, Internet (already fiber for recent builds, upgrading all to it currently) all through one company that's owned by the city...it's amazing.

One bill a month, and my bill is ~300/mo for all services including 1Gb/s fiber. Plus the other aspects of it. Tech support is someone sitting downtown, power outages are fixed in record time... just so much is right with the model.

Per other comments here, this is not what tacit knowledge is. There is an entire body of research devoted to understanding tacit knowledge.

The problem with parallel construction is that it implies the defendant is guilty. However, when individuals have secretly accessed the source of evidence, there is a potential that they planted / altered the evidence that they subsequently "find" through a parallel construction. The prosecution inevitably then suggests that the defendant had sole custody of the resources (which is no longer true) and that anything found there must be theirs.

That depends entirely upon one's definition of "admirable". Personally, if the act requires one to be deceitful (eg, lying about the fact that your writers aren't writers), then that's not very admirable at all to me. If that's what you find admirable, well... alrighty then.

Maybe it's just the inevitable Nash Equilibrium of every privately-owned social network, once growth starts slowing down?

I mean, early on, while the focus is on acquiring new customers, the overriding goal is to delight them. Everyone is excited and happy.

Later on, as the focus shifts to monetization, the overriding goal is to extract as much value as possible without angering customers into leaving.

By the end, everyone is feeling like a cog in an impersonal machine.

They're physical things, interacted in the physical world, without any way for the companies involved to claw back the content, or to data-mine the scrapbook, your albums, etc, for listening data and such (though I imagine a smart TV with a mic will try).

That's a good direction to see movement in. They're not doing "online scrapbooks" or something. And given the long standing records of "What you said 15 years ago online is used to ruin you today," ephemeral, or "not online in the first place," makes a lot of sense.

Kinda weird line, to me. Curious if it was for connecting a third party USB drive at all, and if so, why mention the porn.

It seems like companies either have a strict USB policy, or don't. If they allow USB drives, it feels odd to me to fire someone over a drive containing porn. What if it was a genuine mistake of confusing two drives or something? Or a genuine drive that happened to just contain something copied by accident.

But if OP was say, copying, streaming, or uploading the files, then that seems like a more clear violation than what the article states.
