Nothing. If the device isn't obvious in what's its used for maybe a quick sharpie note of button function but even that feels excessive. Most projects are sprawled out across some part of the shed. They might work they might not. It's a dice roll. Yolo.

The documentation is stored similarly in MD files splattered throughout a "notes" folder synced between my devices.

It's mostly unorganized chaos.
Wouldn't that mean (until higher level embeddings) compound phrases far away are unordered? And numbers are fragmented by token boundary and scrambled up?
For recognizing features such as hair and skin color, which would do a better job? Machine learning with image classification? Or a vector database?

I've had Weaviate return a dog given a human as input when doing an image similarity search, so I was wondering if there's some way to improve the results or whether I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Ignoring the ABA problem, given the implementation of `new` and `delete` are blocking, so is the queue.

The delivery pace is dictated by the format. I might tighten it a bit but it's effectively doing the thing it's aiming for.

Which means that the text needs to be tightened within an inch of its life. That's tricky to do right.
As far as I know, dissidents would hang around major population area (i.e, subway station) and allow for anonymous users to connect to them to transfer files. This security issue would allow the Chinese government to track them.

However, also as far as I know...although VPNs are banned in China, there are ways to get them. I'd wonder how much do dissidents use Airdrop in this manner if they can access the global Internet anonymously. Given mass surveillance in China, I'm sure the Chinese government can track "oh this airdrop sender appears every time this person is in this station".

I also hope that Apple adopts an open source protocol for AirDrop not just for cross platform compatibility, but auditable security. Android has its own "Nearby Share". If Apple doesn't want to get in trouble for "fixing" this, they can easily adopt a cross platform compatible protocol that just happens to also fix this.
Yeah, having worked on alternative notebooks before, one of the big implicit features of Jupyter notebooks is that long-running cells (downloading data, training models) don't get spuriously re-run.

Having an excellent cache might reduce spurious re-running of cells, but I wonder if it would be sufficient.
Any word on consequences for the software engineers involved?
I just revisited my "SWEs want offline docs" blog post from a few months back: https://technicalwriting.tools/posts/offline-docs/

Is there any kind of technology similar to RSS that lets you announce that your docs are offline-consumption-friendly? I don't mean service workers or anything like that. I mean some kind of standardized format for enabling users to read your docs offline. All I've ever seen are PDFs and self-contained HTML sites packaged as a ZIP. Anything else? Half-baked idea, but just asking in case something already exists and is not on my radar...
Whether it’s human or not is irrelevant to the point: human beings fail much more predictably.

When the same search term salad is presented hundreds of times for copy paste, a human would notice and have an opportunity to ask a supervisor.

A chatbot automation would not notice the repetition unless it had been coded to detect repetition, and/or to reject the ChatGPT refusal message.

Ironically, it was probably an automation coded by ChatGPT.
I don't recall if it is just by handshake agreement or in an actual treaty but the country where the manufacturer of a plane operates is the one designated authority over that manufacturer.

FAA issues Airworthiness directives and sets rules Boeing has to follow. EASA largely defers to the FAA (not always but in almost everything).

Similarly the FAA follows EASA when it comes to issues with Airbus.

Both FAA and EASA requirements are roughly alined anyway so it doesn't make that much difference.

Boeing has been coasting on their engineer-led culture from the past. They're only allowed to self-certify on things that are not "safety critical" so having the FAA review that designation seems more useful.

FWIW when Boeing merged with McDonnel-Douglas the GE protégé crew took over. The decision to move headquarters was done deliberately so the machinists and engineers couldn't go complain to the bean counters in person.

Also think about Boeing setting up a factor in South Carolina and fighting so hard to prevent that factory from unionizing. They're focused on giving labor a smaller share of the pie... on some of the most expensive (and formerly profitable) things humans build, with a decade-long order book where every single unit they make is pre-sold years in advance. (Recent screwups have hurt them badly though).

Do you want an airplane built by an accountant-run company that cares about finding the cheapest most disposable workers to build the airplane? Whether it matters or whether the union sucks is irrelevant. The fact that Boeing management was so determined to screw the workers who assemble these planes says a lot and none of it is good.
PIS are investigators, police. They are not prosecutors, they bring the information they collect to a US Attorney- who works for the Attorney General in the Department of Justice, not the Post Office- who actually conducts the court cases.

In Law and Order: Postal Inspectors Jerry Orbach is a Postal Inspector, Sam Waterston is the Federal Attorney, and the closest boss who intersects in their respective lines of authority is literally the President of the United States.
Wait, isn't bending spoons the same company that recently acquired Meetup? Lets see how this plays out for Meetup employees.
> I'm sure EASA will take note though.

There are no 737s operated in that configuration in Europe, so while EASA accepted FAA's grounding notice, it didn't really affect the EU.

But that's beyond the point. The point is those flawed quality controls that Boeing does on behalf of FAA could in theory affect other areas, not just the plug door. And so I wonder if EASA also allows Boeing to self-certify, or do they perform the checks themselves?
What about NDAs?

> is that the tax code is favoring companies that are established and survive

Or to rephrase that, it is favouring existing big corporations and further limiting competition and access to market for regular folks. It's straight far right economic model where big corporations have the whole cake and the proles become wage slaves without ability to go their own way.

Support of such thing is delusional.
> I don't think it's a coincidence that the paywalling of more and more sites came as GDPR and other data privacy regulations started to pop up

Data protection regulations being the cause of paywalls seems a different theory than what you were previously suggesting.

> all those captchas I'm being hit with these days tells me otherwise. Maybe it is possible, but perhaps too expensive.

Captchas are generally to prevent spambots. CCBot/GPTBot crawlers identify themselves by their user-agent (so the server can just choose not to serve the content) and also respect robots.txt.

> https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.13188.pdf (PDF warning). Apparently somewhere in the memory there is those raw assets being stored for "reference".

Stable Diffusion is ~4GB and trained on 5 billion images - for the most part it's not plausible for it to have stored the "raw assets". There is a real issue of overfitting on a subset of content that the model saw many times during training such that it was able to memorize details, but the model isn't retrieving the source material from some server to reference (that's known as retrieval augmented generation, which isn't used by default SD/GPT).

Would also keep in mind that for papers like this, where they're generating hundreds of millions of images and digging into CLIP embeddings to construct prompts that intentionally recreate images, that there's some degree of similarity you'd expect just by the conditioning given, the large number of comparisons being automatically made, and coincidence - even had the model not seen the image in question.

> Youtube screws its creators over backwards to prevent litigation over a very similar concept.

Youtube makes the video available to the public. The Google Books analogy properly preserves the aspect that full works are stored but only small portions made available.
I love devdocs, but I'm forever salty that they don't include C# as one of their languages.

Hundreds of millions are spent on translators every year. It's a major expense in the EU budget, for example. A lot of people are going to jail for fraud if people aren't actually doing the work.
Hello, thank you for pointing it out. Sadly, it's an old bug of Safari. Refreshing your cache should make it work
What dangers? Nobody will see any consequences for this: not Amazon-- they're a monopoly, they don't give a shit-- and not the seller-- who probably won't see any impact whatsoever on their sales or reputation, and will just recreate under a new shell name if they do.

The fact that LLMs drive the cost of junk text production to zero is a tremendous opportunity when there is no penalty for messing up. It's the same think as bulk spam mailing: if it's free, there's no reason not to keep trying even if only one a million is a success.
Could you use a amazon tuckle though?
Thank you. This is terrific. Wish I knew about it earlier. So much better than using web search engines when I know I'm only looking for results from official documentation. Also so much faster. I think I'll get a copy and run/host it locally.
I recently bought some smart devices and I've been playing around with plugging/unplugging my cable internet connection to see what continues to work and what doesn't. It's nice to have evidence of Matter-over-Wi-Fi (not just Thread) continuing to work even when there's no internet connection, though this may vary depending on the hub in use. TP-Link Tapo devices can also be controlled over Wi-Fi without internet, separately from Matter. Even if you ignore the privacy ramifications, it's pretty magical when tapping a button on your phone toggles a light with nearly zero delay.
As I understand it, there's an ongoing PPE thing as well.

> The worst thing for me is how the Amazon search algorithm seems to want to show you everything but the item you searched for.

Hey boss I made the site better! Through rigorous A/B testing I could figure out a way to tweak our search algorithm so people spend much more time on our site! It seems they now really enjoy browsing for products!

Ok but seriously, I have witnessed A/B testing go wrong in the past so I'm biased to blame everything on it. I wouldn't think this particular thing happened though. :)

What I could imagine is that they measure number of items bought or money spent, but even then if eg you don't also track how much of these people return stuff later you still might draw the wrong conclusions. Figuring out that a user is less likely to use your site six months down the line due to building frustration is even harder.
> vacuum in the market for an "everything store" that's actually good.

I would like a "what store is everything in" product. Search for something, and it gives you back matching products in stores 5/10/50 miles from you; purchase online, pickup from the store (or pay for an ubereats like delivery). As you build a cart, it attempts to cluster items. You get the convenience of search and online purchase, so that you don't waste time wandering around stores and not finding things, and you get the item in your hand quicker if you're prepared to go get it once purchased.

Big advantage to whoever built it: you don't need to compete with Amazon on logistics. On the other hand, you have a hell of a network effect to overcome, though if you focused on one geography only to start, it could be doable.

Such a thing, if it took off, could reinvigorate physical retail businesses. Google had a half-assed attempt for a while with local shopping, but they never really pushed it that hard...which I think was a missed opportunity.
Yes, but the schema def is still in protobuf
I do think it is interesting to explore, compare, and contrast the operating modes and limitations of our minds.

Like you, I can also vary volume and tone of an imagined voice. I can make it arbitrarily loud, but there does seem to be a limit on how quiet I can make it, unless I'm imagining hearing a voice from elsewhere.

I don't think I dream in color, though, but I wouldn't call it black and white either. It's more like I'm dreaming of objects in an abstract space where color isn't relevant. I have memories of my dreams from time to time, and those memories aren't of a scene with color in them. I absolutely dream of conversations, and so perhaps I dream with audio, but I'm not exactly dreaming visually. I'm dreaming of circumstances. I can totally believe that other people might dream in color though.
Most of the games using anti cheat systems. It even affects Windows VMs with GPU passthrough.

When I install windows on my gaming PC, I spend 15 minutes to disable web search in the start menu, uninstall random games, change what's on my taskbar, etc. It usually lasts multiple years without me seeing any random software I don't want. I can then run literally every single game I have ever wanted to play with no issues.

I would enjoy it if all games had first party linux support and I could switch to it permanently, but at the moment gaming on windows has several pros and negligible cons compared to gaming on linux. Not sure how you're coming to the conclusion that linux is far superior for gaming.
AutoZone is doing us all a favor. Most people whack in an LED replacement for their turn signals and end up with a quick flashing mess that may be partially green. Or they put in LED brake lights that are blindingly bright and have no differentiation between idle and braking.
Is a generic AliExpress whetstone good enough for most home chefs? I don't know, probably.
But if I'm going to spend $40, I would rather do it on a high quality Japanese unit than something I can get for $20 on AliExpress. On Amazon they're priced and presented as alike, and that's a problem.
With inventory mixing, in service of "Fulfilled by Amazon" that is what Amazon used to have, and lost.

> If it is a derived work of your comment, then you are the copyright holder for this comment

Is that correct? I am also not a lawyer, but this seems wrong to me.

If I make something that is a derived work of some other copyrighted work, my understanding is that I still own the copyright on the parts of the final work that I made (assuming what I made meets the thresholds for being copyrightable). But I am not permitted to distribute that work unless I receive a license to do so from the owner of the work I've derived from.

My understanding seems to dovetail with how the GPL works. If I write a program that links to a GPL library, and that does indeed cause my program to become a derived work of the GPL library, I still own the copyright to my program. In order to distribute my program, I have to abide by the terms of the GPL. But even if I were to violate the terms of the GPL (thus terminating my rights under the GPL), I still would not lose my copyright interest in the program I wrote, only my right to distribute it.
2.4 is still the best choice for range and penetration (through walls etc.) if you don't need the speed of 5ghz. I'm honestly surprised if they're shipping 5ghz-only consumer access points.

Seems like an issue with people buying the cheapest stuff from brands no one has ever heard of. See previous comment, someone bought a blender that doesn't blend. Pretty sure if you buy a mid-high price blender on Amazon from a reputable brand, it will blend.
Thanks. That is precisely what I was talking about in my comment. It would solve the problem if we have some like that integrated natively. I understand that between pip, conda, mamba and all the others it would be hard problem to solve. But at least auto generating requirements.txt would be easier. But to be honest the hard part is identify packages and where they are from not what to do with information. Good luck with the development.
They've made it much more difficult than it was even a couple of years ago when you could just install without the computer connected to the internet. Now you have to start with an internet connection and then disconnect partway through and jump through command line hoops to make the installer let you keep installing

I think you'd have to make some outlandish claims if you wanted to connect most of the material you're trying to bring in to the direct topic of this piece. Re-read the pieces Scott is responding to if you want to see what I mean—the topic of this piece is fairly narrow, and most of what you're proposing to bring in is non-sequitur without some pretty wild connective tissue added, which connective tissue I doubt you'd want to try to defend. Stuff like "leftward-trending liberal democracies tend to become more and more permissive of egregious domestic political violence in other countries over time" would be the minimum to make any kind of even oblique sort-of connection to the actual topic of the piece, and... surely not, right?

I think I'd probably cope with it including irrelevant and mislabelled stuff and the inevitable tons of Alibaba crap if it (.co.uk) didn't fail so hard at pagination that most of the results were inaccessible. Feels like some marketing bod has wargamed the "bust if we fix this people buy cheaper variants of the same product and don't check the Prime box" scenario and decided that as they're Amazon and people will use them regardless, broken search results are better than functional search results

Imagine you are OpenAI. AI is going to be used for "Military and Warfare" whether you want it to be or not. Do you:

A) opt-out of participating to absolve yourself of future sins or

B) create the systems yourself, assuring you will have a say in the ethical rules engineered into the weapons

If you actually give a shit about ethics and safety (as opposed to the appearance thereof) the only logical choice is B.
Not many access points even bother with Wifi6 @ 2.4GHz. I know of only enterprise and a handful of small business access points.

If your network does have the capability, it should be able to make much better use of airtime, more so if you have lots of them in your network.

It's a bummer that it's not 5Ghz. Even at lower data rates it would be great.
It seems pretty clear doesn't it? A choice was implicitly offered to the employees, to either stick to "AI Safety" (whatever that actually means) or potentially cash in more money than they ever dreamed of.

Surprising no one, they picked the money.
> It's not a foolproof system, but I think most of the cases you'd find about 'dodgy evidence' would also mention a 'overly close relationship between police and prosecutors'

For all the hype "AI" gets these days, it's amazing how much things have regressed. My Android phone used to remember where I parked and show it on my Google Now feed and a push notification as I headed out, all without ever asking it to do anything. The travel.google.com site used to show my itineraries without ever adding them there. Hotels, flights, car rentals, and more would be aggregated. Doesn't do that anymore. You used to just be able to search for "my flights" on Google and it'd tell you about you about your upcoming flights.

This is not a fancy service we are talking about. This is more like reselling nicotine or alcohol on a street corner.

The demand is infinite, because of human psycology. It doesn't really matter if the bots are bad or reliable, users will flood to virtual partners and there will always be a million middlemen ready to connect the dots.

There are ways to mitigate such issues anyway but... Who cares? They really shouldn't be using an OpenAI API for a high quality virtual partner service anyway, but its the absolute easiest and fastest path, and it will flood out high quality implementations.

This is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, as well. It's not even that the developer is hostile to it, they're just tied up trying to hold the rest of the game together with glue and toothpicks and haven't taken the time to figure to figure out how to get their (not terribly effective) Battleye plug-ins to work.
Not the same at all. The Postal Inspectors are law enforcement, not attorneys. They don't do prosecutions at all, the court stuff is handled by the regular Federal Attorney's who work for the Attorney General. The Postal Inspectors are basically a specialized FBI, but like the FBI, once the cuffs are on the suspect it's out of their hands. Though they may be called to testify, prosecution decisions are made by a different group responsible to different people- literally the first point of overlap in the chain of command between a Federal Attorney and a Postal Inspector is the President of the United States (the FBI, as also part of the Department of Justice, overlaps at the Attorney General).
