> Public sharing on the internet has nothing in common with storing on a private storage service.

No shit.

> Posting something online you are literally inviting people to look at it,

Yes, PEOPLE. Posting things for people to see is why the Internet exists, is why USENET was created, is why web forums were created, is why social media was created, is why 9/10ths of the Internet as we know it today was brought into creation.

It was not put there so people who do not know any of those people and do not give a rats ass about what they made could take millions of images, writings, and sounds and shove them into their product without their consent for purposes it was never meant for so they could automate art. That is categorically not what any of that is for, and you, and everyone else making this tired point damn well know that.

If you have no issue at all with your creative output being used to train data models, more power to you! That's how consent works! You consent and that's completely, 100% fine. That consent should not have been presumed as it was, and even if you assume complete and total innocence on the part of the AI creators, once it became extremely fucking obvious that tons, and tons, and tons of creatives absolutely would not have consented if asked, then their data models should've been re-trained with that misused data removed. That is the ETHICAL thing to do: when someone says "hey I really don't like what you're doing with my material, please stop" you STOP, not because that's legally binding, not because you'll be sued, not because you're infringing copyrights, but because you have a fundamental respect for your fellow human being who says "I don't like this, please don't do it" and then you, you know, don't do it.

Unless of course what you actually are is an ethics-free for-profit entity that needs to get to market as soon as possible with a product to sell that you probably can't be sued over, in which case you tell those people who's work your product could not exist without to eat shit, and proceed anyway. Which is basically exactly what happened and continues to happen.

And before you even go there to the "well how could they ask for the entire dataset's contents" I DON'T CARE. I'm not the one doing this, this is not my problem to solve, just because the ethical way to do a thing is hard, time consuming, and/or expensive or otherwise difficult, you don't get to just waltz past the ethics involved, even if you're a research project! I personally wouldn't want to get permission from a few million artists to use their work in this way, I don't think most of them would be comfortable with it, and even if they were, I don't really want to do that, it sounds like a ton of work. SO I DIDN'T.
> They treated everyone as if they didn't know how to use a menu.

Yes, and that's OK - somebody had to do it for hundreds of millions of people!

My own first summer job long, long ago as a student was helping a small company transfer some paper "business processes" and calculations to Excel, and that involved teaching Excel to a few people double and triple my age. They generally had few issues with Excel itself, as they had worked with paper spreadsheets in pre-computer accounting, but a significant challenge was mouse skills, because as it turns out, if you move the pointer where you want to, lift your hand up, and press the mouse button, then as you press the pointer will slide away from where you wanted to click.. so that took some time and practice.

Don't take things for granted. People weren't born knowing how to use a mouse or other tools. Everything that's universal now had to be painstakingly learned once, and yes, these materials did have to teach people how to use a menu, because that was relevant for much of their target audience.
Your bias about their bias is biased.
By "weird syntax" I mean stuff like "patchesJson6902" or "configMapGenerator" or "patchesStrategicMerge" where you have to know what each field means and how they work.

A template is much easier to read. I had zero experience with go templating, but was able to figure out what it all meant just by looking at the templates... they still looked like kubernetes resources

As for looking at a bunch of different files, if you like having a "larger-memory-request" file, you can still do that with helm... you can use as many values files as you want, just include them in precedence order. You can have your "larger-memory-request" values file.
Fair enough, the UX is just so much better that I'd gamble it in most use cases
I think it is very important to mention.

I don't know how accurate mouse models are for alcohol, but alcohol tolerance varies widely among animals, and even between humans. We have complex metabolic pathways for alcohol, we even get quite a lot of calories out of it. And while both mice and humans are mammals, I guess there are significant differences regarding reproduction too.

So going to a study on mice to some conclusions like: you should abstain from drinking for at least 3 months, and quantitative measurements like "moderate drinking", which, at about 3 drinks/day is more than "moderate" to me.

After a quick look at the paper, there is no such conclusion. When it comes to humans, there is not much more than "maybe it is something worth looking into".
Seroval: Stringify JavaScript Values
CPUs are still pretty durable but they can be a bit temperamental.

With the smaller process sizes there's less voltage tolerance before degradation occurs. The X3D chips from AMD pack things supposedly pack the cache so tightly that it's easy to get into trouble

A lot of chips burned out with something relatively mild like 1.3V on the SOC!

That protection is fairly limited. There aren't enough sensors for everything that's heat sensitive. Reducing voltages/clock speeds also may not be enough to save all of those.

Very long way to say: not that common... but decently.

edit: As Paul mentions in a peer comment, this is largely due to the memory controller being moved onto the CPU.

I like the simplicity of the landing page! For me personally, the tool would be more useful if I could adjust the duration and the rate limit count without redeploying my code, but I'd also sooner spin up my own Redis instance than use a 3rd party service - so I'm not sure if my feedback is useful :)

PS: You can simplify and make the Python example a bit more secure by using the params parameter[0] instead of building the query string manually:

Owning a personal vehicle, is not inherently at the expense of mass or public transit.

Building cities and infrastructure that precludes anything other than personal vehicles - that what forces people to use them primarily.

Human nature wants convenience. A personal vehicle is not always the most convenient transport method.
Obviously this is still an early proposal that might not go anywhere, but I find it interesting to see how more and more functional programming constructs are creeping into Java. Who knows if this makes it in, next they make exceptions resumable and they go all the way to typed effects.
There’s nothing in that article that talks about how work stealing is managed, so there’s no knowing if this scheduler fixes the problem or makes it worse.
Can you elaborate on why if we build more infrastructure, create more bike lanes or sidewalks, create street cars in downtown areas and such, you wouldn't be able to drive your car 80 miles away to go hiking or boating or golfing or go to the beach?
I think your article glosses over the fact that we have privacy concerns beyond training on my data.

I'm a working professional and I have clients that are governed by confidentiality agreements and regulations regarding where information goes, and I would just prefer using a service where my data rests on a server instead of having more and more points for a data breach to be introduced.

I don't really understand why my data isn't fully encrypted at all times and only I can view it in the first place, but the idea that they are actively sending it across the internet to be ingested by other companies and processed without my consent or interest is so terrible.

I often use AI features when I opt into them, but having a company just sending my personal files all over the internet without my consent is insanity.

Honestly, OneDrive has a migration tool and I got a trial for dropbox business and moved all my files automatically last night. It's just the last straw in their company constantly doing things I don't ask them to do like introducing crap and popups into my desktop interface and never offering the feature I constantly ask for... end to end encryption.

> And it doesn't have any of the privacy downsides that the Internet has. You can do anything you want with it, total freedom. No more law enforcement or intelligence agencies

Don't get too complacent. LE agencies already know this and all of that can still be surveilled, just not through passive intercept.

This is actually the epoch I trust the least. We've had decades to refine spyware and condition people to install random binary blobs to do most anything. Auto-update and new ownership break provenance. Netherlands recently made it legal for police to hack anyone given probable cause.

AI isn't safe or private unless it's air-gapped. I suggest you start figuring that one out while you still have time.
Your expectations seem unrealistic to me.

1. Even x86(_64) can’t run every line of code ever written flawlessly. It can only run the code that is on a compatible architecture, where compatibility largely breaks based on intrinsics used or how old the arch is. You already cannot run everything on a modern x86 processor, only a subset and that’ll get worse when Intel drops support for 16 bit soon.

2. That leaves translation or emulation for the arches that are non-native. Which is exactly what arm does today on all three of the big OSs. macOS, windows and Linux all have translation/emulation layers now so can run most x86 code with varying levels of performance penalty.

3. Many Linux distros support arm. I’m not sure where you’re coming from on this. It’s been multiple decades of support at this point, and even the raspberry pi is a decade old itself now as the poster child for consumer arm64 Linux . They may not support every flavor of it, but that’s also true for x86 systems.

ChatGPT intentionally plows through low-confidence scenarios. It just tries to do its best because "I dunno" is reliably low-utility while a hallucination doesn't gamble lives. It errs on the side of hallucination by design: if you alter the RLHF feedback, you can alter the confidence level.

In FSD, as you point out, the stakes are higher. It makes a different design decision: it slows down in low-confidence situations. Just like a person. If you watch a FSD video, you'll see that most of the human interventions happen because FSD lost confidence in a tricky scenario and halted the car even though the pathing ultimately wound up being correct. This won't solve every edge case, but neither do humans -- the bar is (or should be) "better than human," not "perfect," otherwise we are sacrificing lives on principle.

I have no idea if training will stall out half way through the march of 9s. It might, but if it does, it won't be because there is no high level strategy to control hallucinations. That already exists.

I agree with the march of progress and the hopeful commodification of new technologies. I also agree that there are a number of counterproductive incentives driving up the cost of healthcare. Regulatory capture and lack of payment controls means efficiency is not rewarded.

It is similar to the California energy market, where electric providers are fixed, and rates are set by the sate on a cost plus basis. It should be no surprise that electricity production costs are multiple times higher than other states if manufacturer profit is capped at 8%.

Hi,

Georg - one of the authors is here.

What we argue is that:

- for a great software/data engineering/creation experience we recommend such a stack that is only on when needed (when transformations occur)

- for a great data consumption experience we suggest the integration with an established PaaS platform. Not only for the sake of being available (as a serving layer of data to end users) but also for the missing fine-grained RBAC in the proposed transformation layer
I played Donkey Kong in arcades in the 80s as a kid and I play it today on my MAME emulation arcade cabinet and the issue you mention has never occurred to me. Your post is the first I've heard of it.

In looking at the game again right now with your post in mind, I'm still not seeing any racial undertones. I've always liked the game and still like the game today. I see you linked a video below but I've decided not to look at it. I can appreciate and respect that you may see some association that I don't. Perhaps what you see requires a certain prior sensitization to see or perhaps it's open to differing interpretation by reasonable people. Either way, I'm choosing to keep my experience of a classic game I've always liked untainted. I'm just replying because you asked if others see what you see.

(Note: I've only ever played original arcade DK and DK Jr, no console versions.)

>Not wanting your children to be influenced by pornography at a formative age is a very reasonable fear in this era.

I agree, so as a developer do you think it is easier to block porn at OS level and your router or you think that is safer that some regulation that only some websites will follow is more effective ?

I read about some proposal for adult website to scan your face before granting access and other idiotic schemes, where the super obvious KISS solution is have Android, iOS, Windows, Ubuntu etc have an idiot proof way for a parent to setup a child account, this child account will set some cookie or whatever flag you want so websites can refuse to serve content to them. Also the big tech could use their combined energy to have a blacklist of bad websites that do not respect the rules like maybe advertisers.

TLDR as a parent do not wait for the goverment to protect your child from porn, open Google and figure it out,
Yeah I'll bet there are a lot of porn addicts if you define that to mean "goes to a porn site, ever"

I think 'this blogger' (see other comments) is well-informed and up-to-date on their stuff, so they probably have a more well-informed opinion than who I'm replying to.

These kinds of solutions are so short-sighted because a) kids will get around it and b) in 5 years we'll have someone come along trying to ban another set of websites, and then another. This has and continues to happen all over the world and throughout history. When you give people or institutions the ability to censor information, given enough time, that authority will be wielded against you.
That's just rubbish speculation on your part. All evidence points to FSD having a very marginal effect on Tesla's market cap. The market has already discounted it as nothing more than a driver assist system.

Most of Tesla's valuation is easily attributable to the fact they sell a ton of cars, with very high profit margins, and are on track to sell even more in the future.

Depending on your goal, if it happened to be hired as ML engineer, then better to focus on building resume:

1. Build small projects in the area you have passion about, examples: try to beat benchmark, classify news and track stories of your interest, build auto manga generator

2. Kaggle competitions: not sure if employers are looking at this though

3. Write blog about your journey.

>it would be the index where, if the search string is removed from the found position, it would have to be inserted in order to revert to the original string.

Marinated on this a bit more. I think this the most straightforward and internally consistent way to think about this. Thanks for the insight.

So I figure based on this:

1-based first index of v1 in v2 is:

| v1 | v2 | IndexOf(v1,v2) |

|-------|-------------|----------------|

| [] | [] | 1 |

| aba | [] | N/A |

| [] | aba | 1 |

| a | a | 1 |

| a | aba | 1 |

| x | y | N/A |

| world | hello world | 7 |

Where []=empty.

This is the same as Excel FIND() and differs from Javascript indexOf() (ignoring difference in indexing) only for "".indexOf("") which returns -1 (N/A).

1-based last index of v1 in v2 is:

| v1 | v2 | LastIndexOf(v1,v2) |

|-------|-------------|--------------------|

| [] | [] | 1 |

| aba | [] | N/A |

| [] | aba | 4 |

| a | a | 1 |

| a | aba | 3 |

| x | y | N/A |

| world | hello world | 7 |

This differs from Javascript lastIndexOf() (ignoring difference in indexing) only for "".indexOf("") which returns -1 (N/A).

Inflation is cooling, but not everyone's feeling it. Here's why
I've worked on high availability systems where CPUs were duplicated for reliability. In one product - which I won't name here - the surrounding ASICs were constructed of "self-checking logic" - where every data path had parity and all logic elements were designed such that no single wire failure could go undetected. The idea was that with near 100% reliability, a compute module could flag itself defective before recent work by it could be "committed" into the main memory which was transaction based (every segment of which also had to have at least two redundant copies in different modules).

But who will sell you a self-checking CPU? So use two of them and compare everything they do from reset. This may not be so easy with modern CPUs with huge internal clock rates - who says that they will emerge from asynchronous reset in step, for example? But with 1990s technology it was fine.
