Your certainty in this opinion makes me posit that you've never been an employer.

Employees are people. They say stuff. They interact with customers. Most of what they say is true. Sometimes they get it wrong.

Personally I don't want to train my employees so they can only parrot the lines I approve. Personally I don't want to interact with an employee who can only read from a script.

Yes, some employees have more authority than others. Yes some make mistakes. Yes, we can (and do) often absorb those mistakes where we can. But clearly there are some mistakes that can't be simply absorbed.

Verbal "contracts" are worth the paper they're written on. Written quotes exist gor a reason.

In the context of this thread, chatbots are often useful ways to disseminate information. But they cannot enter into a contract, verbal or written. So, for giggles feel free to see what you can make them say. But don't expect them to give you a legal binding offer.

If you don't like that condition then feel free not to use them.
If there is a privilege escalation or just an OS exec() as the app process user in a container with no interactive shell, no desktop, root-owned site-packages configured at image build time, and/or a pex zipapp or similar with no ~/.local (`type -a python; python -m site`) then it can write() to the on disk files or a database with schema and field length limits that doesn't store code.

If you can't test your code because you use `NOW()` or another form of automatic timestamping in your records, it is on your language or framework. You shouldn't forgo such niceties for limitations imposed by your framework or language, demand better.
you dont have to do that stuff, you just start doing it because someone else got a better result than you

also it is very easy for software to concatenate strings for you behind the scenes before sending it to the model
Aye. I love the following three-step solution for compute workloads:

1) Make something right.
2) Reduce RAM requirements.
3) Apply GNU Parallel.

It's magical how just much batch work can be done one manycore system when one keeps it hot.
I think the real takeaway is that RunwayML has no moat. Pika Labs raised $50M on the same product. In the same month both Stability and Facebook revealed their text to video. AnimateDiff is going to kick the pants off of all of them. And I can count two dozen papers - a lot of them with code - that do the same thing.

Edge models are no longer a competitive edge. Look at companies like ElevenLabs. Margins eaten to zero by a dozen companies nipping at the heels, raising on the same terms. Building the same features.

The magic in weights is gone. These companies are all clones.

It might sound like this is counter to my point, but in actuality think about all of the competition this opens the playing field to. A company starting next year could easily outdo RunwayML.
Hahah funny, bet made you head to the website and ask some tongue in cheek questions about Chevy Tahoe. Maybe even think about buying one. Seems perfect for GM?
There are so many other industries where versioning is also an issue, but who lack the tools to properly manage it.

The start of my career was in the pro audio industry, where "copy and rename" mixing session project files is still a common practice:

{songTitle}_final_rev2-2021.08.03-FINAL-MIX.ptx

VCS working on text files allowing deltas/diffs helps a lot in this sense, versus saving binary project files where diffs/merges make little sense and can corrupt the output.
Bingo.

There is nothing wrong with using NOW(), in of itself, and it maybe the best thing to do.

But it may lead to surprising results when say you have an application that has mocked out time for a specific time, but you get db results for the current time. It introduces another clock into your system.

I have found most of the time we were using NOW() we could pass the time into the query and create a more understandable chain of code.
Asiana 214 crashed (in broad daylight and perfect visibility) because Asiana pilots were overused to landing on the autopilot, which was off on this landing; also because they ignored the "sink rate" warning going off for a minute.

Not because landing at SFO is particularly dangerous.

They would normally have warning from weather forecasters about upcoming cloudy weather so they would have time to switch over to ILS operations in an orderly manner. Switching in the middle of a clear evening because of one plane is something quite different.

> There is also Arduino on Raspberry Pi.

I don't think it'd be suitable for this task, though. The Pi may be faster, but accessing GPIOs from userspace is slow.
the flight plan doesn't have any bearing here. norcal approach isn't (and shouldn't be) expected to know the SOP's for every company in the world. the flight's clearance limit was to SFO and they were being given the approach that their requested airport was advertising.

> called them when they were back over the east coast?

depends on who they were on with when they found out SFO was advertising an approach they couldn't take. At the very least they could've told oakland center; that's who they would've been talking to before being transferred to norcal approach, and is probably the one sequencing a good chunk of those other planes coming in.

Before Git, Perforce was state of the art.

Before that it was SVN (open source, decent) and tools like IBM Clearcase (not good, file locking, etc)

Perforce was very easy to use and honestly git was a step backwards on a overall usability.

My local Home Depot has 3 humans overseeing 6 self-checkout kiosks… I’m guessing they’re there to protect against shoplifting (which certainly leads to accusations of profiling) and assist when the machine inevitable fails at something.

Seems logical, especially for a hardware store that sells so many parts requiring product# lookups, to just have those attendants be cashiers.
Have you tried Confluence ?

It's the app updates that become an easy attack avenue if Google has their signing keys.

It's actually always been possible for Google to replace the initial installation packages (and if did, then also their future updates).

For this initial installation it might be a little easier for the user to verify that he has an untampered package.
But most of all, in most cases, someone becomes the object of an investigation at a moment when he already has an app you'd like to subvert installed.

Anyhow, when Google wasn't provided the keys, if you initially received the real package, all successive updates were guaranteed to come from the developer (unless the developer itself got compromised).

For many apps it's already extremely interesting for law enforcement to provide a slightly modified version, with not even a need for additional permissions: for all E2EE apps, for example, it might well be that all you want is to exfiltrate their encryption keys.

By the way, at least if the Play Store is installed, Google is able to install updates surreptitiously:

"If it is determined, however, that the Update will fix a critical security vulnerability or critical operability issue related to the Content, or will prevent abuse, the Update may be completed irrespective of your Update settings in Google Play or your Device."

I have found that North American divisions of Japenese companies will be setup the same way. The managers sit at the front facing into the room. All of their subordinates will be facing towards them.

Toyota sticks out in my mind, only because of the scale of the room. There were hundreds of desks in one large open space, and if you looked up from your desk you could see every last one of them. But I’ve seen it in other smaller Japenese companies as well.
again, the ILS wasn't unavailable, but ATC for hundreds of miles had been planning on every plane taking the visual, with its reduced separation requirements. if a plane needs an approach with increased requirements, they need to tell ATC early so ATC can put them in their plan.
He is just the face. He gets paid for bringing attention and creating a forward momentum to the companies. He has access to highly placed individuals too and that’s more important than you building an actual product in our economy.

# String literal (int8*)
"abc"

# Character literal (int8)
'c'

# Undefined behaviour
"abc" at 0 = 'd'

This doesn't seem very type safe, at least not yet.

This is a cool project, though! I have been wanting to learn to write compilers. They're the coolest things.

Also, this is a side note, but what I actually hope is the successor to C is higher level languages having the option to restrict oneself to a low-level variant that can manipulate pointers, and/or let you embed assembly under macros and special functions, like this old blog shows how to do for Lisp[1]. It would be cool if more languages let you do stuff like that.

Companies provide written legislation that is ratified into law with at most an assistant reading through it. Regular citizen constituency lacks the coordination and resources and bribery power to do likewise and must instead wait years between votes to try to find better representation.
Eh... the issue I have with that is a few dozen communities run on Patreon or what have you won't offset the gorillas in the room (Youtube, TikTok, discord, etc).

I think "we have no clue what's going on online" is never been more true as actions like cancel culture have moved huge swaths of people off of the big guys and created other areas like Rumble - and the smaller alternatives. but to think that these smaller more diverse cultures aren't being commercialized and monetized - except for a few rare cases - just seems, to me, silly.

just my opinion mind you.
The world before git had one thing that git lost: a strong notion of what "upstream" means. Git nowadays is used just like any other centralized SCM tool of lore; at the end of the day you push you changes to the master repo and go home. GitHub may have made git accessible and popular but it ironically did so by turning it into just another centralized SCM.
>Staten Island is not.

As Wolfgang Pauli said after reviewing a paper, "That is not only not right; it is not even wrong".

(And if you are thinking of claiming that Staten Island's lack of a bridge or tunnel connection to the rest of the city is a disqualifier, please don't bother.)

Why shouldn't retailers be allowed to use this at all? The FTC's reason seems to be because they did it poorly and discriminatorily but that doesn't seem to be your concern.

Is your concern that they're recording people in the store? Are there non-clown show countries where they were forward thinking and put a stop to the collection of that biometric data decades ago? Or that they're looking at the recordings? Comparing the recordings to other recordings? Like... what's the too far step that America needs to ban to not be a clown show?
Lets go back to the beginning of YC. You can find a photo of the very first class. In that very first class, you'll see the AirBnb guys, the Twitch guys, the Reddit founders, and Sam frickin Altman.
When you have 18 years of connections with virtually every successful YC startup, and happen to run the most disruptive company of the past 15 years, money and influence seeks you out.
Is that within the scope of the FTC? My naive assumption would be that it's not, and cities tend not to self-regulate on matters of any real importance.

Not only that... Their measurement of the sense of agency (SoA) is weird. Within the same paper they're inventing a new way to estimate moment to moment SoA and correlating it to reported SoA. Whether their modeling is valid should have been a separate paper.

There's a very good chance their experimental design and measurement strategy are influenced by one another.

That's nonsense. If they're predetermined, then the decision happened _outside_ their head. You might otherwise describe a river as its own source and tributary.
I thought I would just briefly pop into this thread to say that if I, as a passenger, were to learn that the flight* I was unexpectedly diverting across the bay, I just know I'd somehow embarrass myself from getting all hyphy about my "bonus" trip to Oaktown. Raising my daughter there through the grade school years conjures up some warm memories. Love that town.

But I'm not just here reppin' for Oakland – apparently, there's a lot of dysfunction at the FAA that I had no idea about. Glad I clicked.

You’re doing it wrong. You need to get other people to do the actual work while you go out and get yourself involved in more things.
Ripple (XRP) surged by 5% to $0.609, signaling a potential reclamation of its historically high ranking lost to Binance Coin (BNB).
Over the past seven days, Ripple narrowed its losses to 2%, showcasing a determined effort to solidify its position.
Ripple’s market capitalization is $32.5 billion, trailing BNB’s $38.3 billion, presenting a $6 billion gap.
In a notable breakout, XRP’s price surged by 5% yesterday, reaching $0.609 and positioning itself for a potential reclamation of its historically high ranking, which it lost earlier in the year to Binance Coin (BNB).

This daily growth has allowed XRP to narrow its losses over the past seven days to a mere 2%, signaling a determined effort to solidify its position in the crypto market.

Don't know about the libs but CUDA itself is a C++ dialect targeted at a family of quirky array processors (GPU's). That takes some dev work by compiler hackers but doesn't seem amazing. Am I missing something? It's of course still easy to mess up such a project by not bringing enough clue, and AMD might have done that with ROCm. Is that what happened, or is it something different?
I would strongly suggest reading “Time Loops” by Eric Wargo if you’re interested in investigating this feeling more. There are many (documented!) instances of people “remembering” and dreaming about real events in their lives that haven’t yet happened. But of course, the scientific evidence for precognition is pretty flimsy. If it’s real, it seems to have a very small/rare effect.
I'm always annoyed how any Linux media player or encoder needs to bring its own entire media operating system, down to each individual nut and bolt.

On Windows there's Windows Media Foundation and DirectShow that centrally manage everything and also support the "individual nut and bolt" approach. Android has its own central thing (MediaCodec?) that must be used. MacOS and iOS presumably have their own central manager (Quicktime?) too.

But Linux? It doesn't serve as an operating system for media. It's tremendously inconvenient as an admin/user rather than an evangelist.
20 years ago, when I was right-wing myself (in College Republicans, etc), the AM radio I listened to and people I talked to all thought NYT was very left-wing ("liberal").
Good answer. He basically fostered a reputation for having access to the connections you need. Same time, that don't mean he'll entertain any old idea. I thought he was lunatic for taking over at OpenAI and thought their idea was crazy. But he knew better than me.
Completely wrong. What you see is a product of what you need to see, adapted by evolution over millions of years, so that you can survive on Earth a bit longer than 5 minutes. We're talking of seeing a barren planet millions of kms away, flying in space ships that are thousands of years away in the making: do you really REALLY think "reality" is what your eyes see now so you don't stumble around in the bright light shower of Earth ?

If we have to survive in space, we'll have to see the rings of Uranus, if only to avoid them when we fly by in your space ship :)
It is like auto aim in games, it aims the gun for you and you just click and enemies dies. The crutch makes people feel more in control since now the guy on the screen do what they want it to do rather than what input they gave it, making them less frustrated.

Of course that is the average case, some get more frustrated by the program altering their aim so they can't shoot exactly where they want. The same will probably be true for most AI tools.
I agree that Lufthansa has to accept the repercussions of their policy, and if somebody asks me for a favor and says they need to because "it's their policy", I'd squint pretty hard at them, that's not really the jurisdiction of policy.

For all the people who believe that the policy is the safest and safety comes first, that's a fine opinion, but if other people don't agree to that tradeoff (absolute safety versus demands on a crowded airport timeslot) you have to accept that, you can't impose your opinion about safety on everybody else's schedule.

I can also see that the air traffic controller might have messed up. Perhaps they intended to squeeze Lufthansa in when they told them to wait, and maybe they forgot and didn't, and then when pressed they got irritated, that's how overworked people typically would react; but still it was their call.

Perhaps this flight is never late so they never encountered this situation before. We can't expect everything to go smoothly all the time, so we don't necessarily need policy changes because of what happened, simply adjust what expectations we should have. And if Lufthansa expects future conflicts, now is the time to work it out with the appropriate parties (i.e. not the whole internet)
Delete Nazis killed a number of good deeply technical pages, always citing some obtuse wikilaw. There was a time when contributing was encouraged and assisted. Now if you make a new article one of these pricks will delete all of your work no questions asked with their fake voting process where they pull in their little cadre of friends.

Now I just add data to places like GitHub and subject specific wikis. I treat wikipedia like Pinterest at this point.

Curious if I am the only one that has such a dislike for wikipedia?

The world after git is jujutsu. Once you get your workflow down, it’s so much more useful than git because you can easily switch from any commit to another by editing it or checking it out, the latter creates a new commit on top of your working copy which itself is a commit. The former lets you amend.

https://martinvonz.github.io/jj/v0.12.0/

You can squash your working copy into the previous commit with one command. All these things, to the uninitiated, probably don’t sound like much. All I can say is the UX is much more attuned to the way I work. Much quicker and more intuitive. It is exactly how I would build a vcs if I needed to and knew how.

I also like that it is built in rust. Since the vcs is really just a big data structure, I feel like rust is a good choice because of how it forces correct code to some degree and doesn’t allow cycles, etc.

>We need to go back to this.

There were so many deductions and tax breaks back then that, to a first approximation, no one paid anywhere close to that. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 removed most of those deductions as part of the collapsing of tax brackets.
It's kind of insane that we all just put up with the Git UX. It's so bad, the author named it Git. But we all just keep using it as is.
I use exactly the same verbiage in my draft documents. I think it's a reference to C++ standards draft documents, which have that on the cover. I don't know if that's the original usage though, it's just where I saw it first.

Laptops, students, distraction: hardly a surprise (2008)
Ditto here on Australia and lack of direct access.

That said:

Rite Aid will be prohibited from using facial recognition technology for surveillance purposes for five years to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that the retailer failed to implement reasonable procedures and prevent harm to consumers in its use of facial recognition technology in hundreds of stores.

makes me happy we (Australia) put a temporary stop at least on the roll out of facial recognition of "untrustworthy shoppers" by Bunnings (Australian Hardware store with a sideline in sausages).

FTC says Rite Aid technology falsely tagged consumers, particularly women and people of color, as shoplifters;

It seems likely that the same base level issues exist across most implementations of (alleged) "bad actor" recognition systems.
The message here is that ageism is protected and tolerated discrimination and only theoretically illegal in the rare instances when it can be proven.

Always remember there is zero job security if you lack significant equity ownership, and there is no safety net except the one you (or collective action) demand or create.
