Thanks. That then explains it. Although I have a feeling this mutual trust has its expiration date and I would be surprised if EASA didn't actually start raising concerns over the FAA's credibility.
David Chalmers coined the terms "hard problem" and "easy problems" in a 1994 talk at The Science of Consciousness conference held in Tucson, Arizona:

> There is not just one problem of consciousness. “Consciousness” is an ambiguous term, referring to many different phenomena. Each of these phenomena needs to be explained, but some are easier to explain than others. At the start, it is useful to divide the associated problems of consciousness into “hard” and “easy” problems.
For me, it was Nioh. It would crash when using certain abilities, and cutscenes would just not work. It looks like it's still an issue for some people: https://www.protondb.com/app/485510

I would think you could improve your embedding space to address that issue, partially. Similarity search (as a result of some contrastive loss) definitely suffers at the tails and the OOD is pretty bad. That being said, you're more likely to have higher recall than a more classical technique.
It’s also how it’s hosted: running as an enterprise Java app means you’re getting a high/critical CVE every week for something you probably don’t even use but which is bundled into something like Wildfly. Looking at it currently, I see SnakeYAML, the Apache SSHD, the H2 database, the Infinispan cache, etc. which are just generic Wildfly features and probably not even enabled, but you have to either be very confident about your ability to make that assertion or patching it frequently. This kind of service really needs to be lean and bundling only the dependencies it uses.
Likely before that
The old Google Now feed was amazing. Showed me where my car is parked. Told me when to leave to arrive places in time. Pulled up my flight details automatically. Now it's just a bunch of click bait articles.
Why doesn’t it store a shared secret based on some information from both parties once a contact has been mutually agreed to be shared… then you can quickly do a verification without any interception from outside sources or any information leaking
> if you have a building that eats 5ghz, either move or spam APs

The insanity of moving just to get better wifi reception aside, do you mean move to North America where houses are built out of cardboard and sticks? Most other countries build walls out of solid materials and 5 GHz isn't getting through more than maybe one of those.

As for spamming APs, I really wish it were that simple. Apple devices cling to their AP until speeds drop to the dialup days and other platforms aren't much better. How did we figure out GSM roaming in the 90s but WiFi roaming is still a disaster 30 years later?
I hate the "trauma" talk as much as the next guy, but I REALLY love how she just jumped in full force from the get-go and totally sidestepped their nonsense arguments.

It's seriously awesome that she taped the meeting and put it out there. I get having to fire people, but what I can't stand is them getting the finger pointed at them when it's not deserved.
For those two in particular? You'd definitely get a better result with an ML model such as a convolutional neural net. In some sense, using an image similarity query is a kind of ML model - nearest neighbor - which can work in some scenarios. But for this specifically, I'd recommend a CNN.

AI kriegsspiele won't help win anyone any big war, they didn't help the Germans in WW1 (without the AI part, of course), they won't help China, so for the sake of the Chinese I hope that they're following the "classical" route when it comes to "learning" the art of waging the next big war and not following this newest tech fad.

There's also something to be said about how the West's reliance on these war games (don't know if AI-powered or not) when preparing for the latest Ukrainian counter-offensive has had disastrous consequences for the actual Ukrainian soldiers on the field, but I don't think that Western military leaders are so honest with themselves anymore in order to acknowledge that (at least between themselves, if not to the public). A hint related to those Western war games in this Economist piece [1] from September 2023:

> Allied debates over strategy are hardly unusual. American and British officials worked closely with Ukraine in the months before it launched its counter-offensive in June. They gave intelligence and advice, conducted detailed war games to simulate how different attacks might play out, and helped design and train the brigades that received the lion’s share of Western equipment

Siri is good enough to get by, but is definitely not better than Google in my opinion (and several friends that have both Google Nest and Apple HomePod devices).

Siri is sorry she can't help, misunderstands things, or straight up ignores requests way too often.

I will say that the non-display Google devices are often more helpful than the ones with displays. The displays want to show you stuff, but the non-displays will tend to give you an answer.

e.g. "what time does walmart close" will respond with "there are several stores in your area" and then show you a list of stores with their hours, but the non-display devices will just reference the closest store and tell you when it closes.
It's not. The entire purpose of Tor was for US spies overseas to be able to make anonymous secure communications. They opened it up to the rest of the world, because if the only people using Tor are US spies, it's pretty easy to tell what someone's using it for.

Governments also run a lot of relays and exit nodes for a similar reason. Not to make it easier for themselves to identify traffic. For no one actor to have a majority of nodes, which would make it a lot easier to identify traffic.

The problem is that in many cases, there is no way for a patient to meaningfully review options, negotiate, or even consent prior to receiving treatment. For non-elective procedures, at best it's an "under duress" sort of deal.

This is why healthcare should be provided for free at the point of service, paid for by the government. It works very, very well for many other countries. The only reason we haven't been able to make it work here is the rampant lobbying.
I don’t think they perjured themselves which isn’t the same as saying they didn’t lie. It’s easy to not perjure yourself if you’re not asked the right questions.

The lie came from the fact they weren’t looking into their own evidence and realising something was up when they were prosecuting hundreds of sub-postmasters.
> but also have a reliable means to remove them from power if they act in bad faith.

That answers your concern -- that's a reduction in the power of government. The worst possible person being in charge is OK if that person cannot unilaterally make things worse for everyone. I don't think it necessarily describes anarchy, though I do take your point.

As for people acting in good faith, well, POSIWID[0] is a thing; ideally the system should be designed such that it shouldn't matter whether any individual within the system is acting in good faith or not, because the incentive structures set up therein will lead to positive outcomes. Besides, for any politically divisive topic, someone will always think you're acting in bad faith, anyway.

Funny fact is that this is core use case I use siri to add things to the reminders app which I have a smart list called "shopping list." It's amazing how great this is, and how many times I use this.
True, there are some very dysfunctional cases. In general though, if a manager disagrees strongly enough, they can protect their reports. Yes, it might impact their personal career, but it's weird to criticize HR for just following orders and not apply the same criticisms to the manager (something I'm seeing a lot of in these discussions). The manager is much more familiar with the laid-off employee, their work, and the criteria used to judge them. Ultimately, the manager has much more final say than HR people who are essentially just messengers to shield management.

My guess is there are huge opportunities for fairly mundane uses of GPT models in military database and research work. A ban on military uses would include, for instance, not allowing the Army Corps of Engineers to use it to improve disaster prep or whatever. But a ban on causing harm ostensibly prevents use on overtly warfare-oriented projects. Most big tech companies make this concession eventually because they love money and the Pentagon has a tremendous amount of it.

> Now, it is true that the GPL license does seem to say that you can't distribute a modified GPL work on the same CD as a non-GPL work

No it's not. The GPL specifically says that mere aggregation of a GPL-licensed work with another work licensed under another license does not create any sort of GPL obligation on the other work:

> A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
Was this (from the second paragraph onwards) written by GPT-4, by any chance?
Yeah, it's no competition. Siri is terrible in comparison to google assistant. Not sure what OP is on about.

(isn't it "funny" how like 1% of the Western Channels that reported on Israel's "defense" didn't say a peep about the day before that? That's a matter of record now, too, another thing that won't be forgotten nor forgiven. The casual treatment people in Palestine like vermin, if not just collateral, was heard around the world. The people who are already tired of hearing that are in for such a rough ride.)

There's taxis and busses with genocidal slogans driving around. This goes way deeper than the prime minister, countless other ministers and Knesset members, IDF generals and IDF soldiers.

I used to work for a non tech company of around three or four hundred people that nonetheless had about twenty software engineers. I say “used to” because engineering got cut by 80% last quarter.

I don't have much want or need of an EV, but I was able to bring 240V power into my detached garage and install a 100A subpanel myself. It was all legal, I got a permit to do it from L&I and had it inspected and signed off on. Most states and local jurisdictions allow homeowners to do electrical work on their residences, assuming they go through the same permitting and inspection process as the pros.

I encourage anybody with the time and diligence to do their own residential electrical work. It can save you a lot of money, and add a lot of value to your home.

Asking the government to create regulations for product quality just means that the lobbyists who actually write those regulations are going to fuck you over yet again.
There are several good reasons for allowing it. One is that it's difficult for a public inspectorate/regulator to maintain the necessary levels of expertise to assess such complex systems (and increasingly so with technological progress). Furthermore, people working inside the industry have much better access to information about the risks than an outside inspector has.

A second reason is simply costs to the public. In 2019, the interim FAA director Dan Elwell testified to the US Senate after the 737 Max disasters that bringing all delegated oversight back into the FAA would require 10000 extra staff and USD 1.8B in costs. There are fairness/democratic arguments to having the costs borne by the industry (and thus indirectly by the privileged portion of the taxpayers who consume air traffic) rather than by all taxpayers.

The difference is that many big brands will vet the products before they put their name and warranty on it.

Amazon is a free for all when factories can just direclty dump their garbage. There is no brand recognition or reputation. It's all just random character strings attached to random products. If a QUENTOC dog leash is prone to snap and whiplash your face, they can just dump the brand and move on.

Sure, but before it didn't bother me because I didn't have to browse through eight pages of search results that show the same four products over and over again with different brands slapped on before I might find a fifth one that suits my needs better. If you're lucky they're all using the same images, but sometimes there's a couple of variations so it takes you a couple seconds for each listing to figure out if it's one of the four you already seen a dozen times and don't want.
Any recommendations for an embedded embedding database (heh)? Embedded, as in sqlite. For smaller-scale problems, but hopefully more convenient than say, LMDB + FAISS.
> Business owners are rewarded for shifting resources away from activities that consumers don't value highly (as evidenced by their willingness to pay for them) to ones that they do. If you feel that businesses are focusing on the wrong things, spend your money differently.

So... that's not blame? Is "businesses only do this because you tell them to, with money, so stop telling them to if you don't like it" not the intended reading of that?

My point is that the modern advertising industry is better classed as a result of large-scale structures and societal-scale rules, the same way bread lines were, than as something explained by consumer choice. I mean, FFS, the point of it is to influence consumer choice. This is like saying if the gas pedal doesn't want the car to go faster, it should stop getting pushed so much.
If the goal is just sustaining government then there are lots of countries without those features that have a longer history of sustained government than the US.
Honestly, the fact the Post Office were marking their own homework almost certainly made everything worse, in my opinion. I’m just taking issue with the idea that it was the sole cause, as we similar things happen under different systems, too.

Why happily? Evolution seems like a good academic theory. Is Pascal's wager academic enough? What about Occam's razor?
1) Citi has been talking about these cuts for three months. There’s little new here other than the CEO specifying the target head count.
2) There is no intent to rehire. Whole business lines are being shuttered.
3) Yes, of course there is a huge management problem. They fired 300 managing directors in November.

Since 2000 Citi stock is down more than 90%. JPMC and BofA generate an order of magnitude more revenue per employee than Citi. Jane Fraser is just the latest in a long series of executives seemingly unable to tame the beast.

I have stood at the very base of Wind Turbines multiple times. They are awesome, in the traditional sense of the word. A giant tower with an engineering marvel of a prop that slowly turns, nearly noiselessly sapping energy from nation sized air masses that continuously convect due to the immense amount of light and heat energy pouring into our atmosphere 24/7. They look futuristic, and yet at the same time so simple and elegant. Fields of fans sucking energy out of the wind currents.

I would love to live about five miles away (infrasound might be a real issue for some people) from a hundred acre installation of them. Here in Maine we have capped a few small mountains with them up north and it's very aesthetic.

Pumpjacks are also pretty cool though I've never seen one in person. Their simple design and brutal metal structure are pretty in their own way. Flares look pretty neat too.

..... Alright maybe infrastructure is just cool to me
Woah, amazing!
Aren't most modern constitutional monarchies just a veneer over a republican democracy anyways? The monarch wields no real power -- even if on paper they may still retain a great deal.

The US system is notoriously bad to get working and really seems to only work for the US. Anywhere else we have tried it has ended with some kind of failure. However, it's reasonable to call the parliamentary systems like the UK republican democracies and those have been emulated else where with a higher degree of success.
I think google still does this, but yes it’s probably very half-assed.

I think the real product there would be a universal inventory system for all stores. And small stores like local hardware stores might not have comprehensive inventory, so then you get in to things like inventory scanning robots.

Point being there’s several layers of missing pieces (I believe, I know next to nothing about retail) that make the top layer hard or impossible. Google for example is probably plugging in to APIs for a few large stores like target and Walmart and skipping all the little ones.

I guess another option is a store network that is a franchise model of one company. All the products come from that company but franchise owners decide what they actually stock and carry. So they could be a hardware store or a home goods store etc but it’s all one centralized system underneath. Each store has a standard fulfillment system so you can pick up in store or get things shipped.

Alternatively it would be nice to see an Amazon style store but everything is vetted as decent quality. Problem is it’s just hard to keep up with the flow of new goods from overseas showing up on Amazon and if you’re going to vet items for quality that’s going to add overhead. I guess that’s basically what stores like Target do.

Ah yes the vim extension is known to be an issue. IIRC the problem is it works by hooking into every key press and blocks VSCode in a way that no other extensions really do.

Actually I think Rust analyser had a "smart enter" feature that worked in a similar way and was similarly slow.

Basically if an extension overrides typing then it's going to be slow.
