It is a fact that Kremlin sponsored psyops campaigns worked to hinder her candidacy. The Mueller report laid this out in detail.

To answer your question, I think they were wondering if this would make it more difficult for Russian groups to do perform these psyops jobs. My thought is no: these groups will likely not have to deal much with these firewalls, considering they're explicitly backed by the Kremlin in their effort.
I think its totally the other way around actually. It looks blunt from afar, but when you use it on specific fiddly things, it does a great job.
Domain experts get the most out of it. The average person really can't use it well.

I do agree with you that output on non domain specific tasks does not stand up to scrutiny. However, I often have to remind people that gpt4, and chatgpt in particular are not really llm's functioning at peak performance. gpt3 was amazing before rlhf. i assume the ungimped gpt4 was even better. Its unfortunate because it has damaged the reputation of what would otherwise be superhuman ai, so now everyone thinks ai is just a shitty ghost writer for corporate safe spam.

Don't get tricked.
No, he means that it did not use to be like this. Not even a decade ago Globalfoundries and Intel had competitive, production-ready nodes (~14nm).
Who pays to use generators? The open ones are way more capable and interesting, generally.
So that vehicle owners can see who the hit and runner is. And just in general look how their car is, all from the comfort of their phone in real time.
There’s a popular view that piracy is not theft. But in UK law at least (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/60/crossheading/de...), although copyright infringement is a separate offence, it kind of is theft too, arguably. It would be interesting to know to what extent that’s been tested, here and elsewhere.
Option 1: Take to the streets, topple the oppressive government

Curious: what was Tesla’s initial justification for recording from cameras while the car is parked and charging?
FWIW I stumbled upon the fact that AnyConnect (VPN from Cisco) about 10 years ago could walk over our HTTPS/DPI proxies/firewalls at Ubisoft. Which was mostly interesting because it was Ubi itself using AnyConnect.

In my efforts to use Linux (which is not supported by Cisco) I found "OpenConnect" and it's partner: "OCServe"; which are open source compatible client & server software (respectively) for the protocol

On the wire traffic looks like normal HTTPS traffic, and without the SSL "CONNECT" header which DPI loves to drop as it's known used for proxies and vpn solutions.

YMMV, but it's worked for me with aggressive HTTP proxies in other companies too. :)
Yeah its there by default but then there is nobody forcing the consumer to use it.

So in theory we could get the raw body, and then use something like Jackson's ObjectMapper.valueToTree to get an untyped object hierarchy and then convert that to properly typed domain objects through some manually authored utility methods. Nobody does that though because it is super convenient to have a library take care of that boilerplate for you with codegen or reflection which was basically the point of my original comment.
Anyone have one? I just finished the spectrum book from bitmap books, having missed out on it when I was a kid, and it seems a really interesting platform.
Amazon's new 'Remarkable Alexa' plagued by internal politics, technical issues
It’s not a simple mistake. It’s a critically damaging mistake to someone. Any process around such an event requires considerably more competence than what was demonstrated.

In this case their investigation said that the date of birth and last name were matched but the first names were not. This was flagged through by someone who didn’t do their job.

Thats just negligence of duty. I would expect to be minimally fired if I fucked up and hurt someone.
'According to another ex-employee' should be enough of a red flag to answer your question.
Adobe is training off of images stored in their cloud systems, per their Terms of Service.

OpenAI has provided no such documentation or legal guarantees, and it is still quite possible they scraped all sorts of copyright materials.
To use this app's (peculiar) descriptor, it is more "pleasant" for those who deal with a lot of text "information". This includes (but is not limited to) students, academics.... At the core level, it is about using many "doc files" without juggling between multiple windows, file managers, etc. Then, in addition, some may feel the (real?) need for other features. You can look at this extensive list [1] and see if you feel you are "missing" any of them, although feelings could be deceptive :)

Apple doesn't want to be in the server market and I don't think that will change any time soon. They would have to either build a whole new organisation for that or use resources that go into their consumer products like the iPhone to build servers.

> They could reuse the high-end Mac Studio or similar chips and only have a custom board and chassis suitable for server use, with additional IO and redundancy.

Also what would be the benefit of running Xcode cloud on Apple Silicon? Today cross compilation is the norm so the architecture doesn't matter. They would have to make a new datacenter version of their chips without the GPU and accelerators that aren't used for CPU heavy tasks.

> they literally make the Mac Pro in rackmount form for render farms and so forth.

The Mac Pro has a rack mount version is not for the server room. People use racks in audio and video production too and that's where you will probably find most of the rack mounted Mac Pros. You can probably fit 2 CPUs and 4 - 8 GPUs in the space a Mac Pro takes in your datacenter. So why would you choose a Mac Pro over that?
Very nice and clean design - however, it seems to me like there is easily enough room for two Mac Mini M1s per sled without affecting the cooling and achieving a density of 20 per rackmount enclosure and 120 per rack.

I'm also curious as to whether GitHub considered (or is considering) running Asahi Linux natively on them - the latter would make more sense to me as it could easily blend into their existing infrastructure.
The source of OP's grief is the changes he writes about.

Or do you have some unique mentalist-style access to the "real source" that drives him?
Living in Germany, but I'm an american. Signed up for Crunchy Roll. Most the shows my friends are recommending are region locked. The remaining ones are mostly German-dubbed only, with no subtitles. Most don't have original Japanese either.

Only a handful I want to watch actually have subs or English dubs.

It's not like I don't want to pay for this stuff but when it's a huge conditional tree of if I'm going to have a good experience, with no other (non-pirate alternative), what do you do?

Meanwhile, Spotify doesn't have this issue. Happily pay for that, despite not being a fan of how the company operates.
hehehe

speaking of, IMO there would be a lot less hullabaloo around OpenAI being derived from unlicensed works if we reverted copyright to 14 years like the constitution says (well, copyright act of 1790)

Everyone could ingest whatever they want up through 2010 and if they want it to know what the New York Times said after that they can pay for it. The midjourney ceo basically said they couldnt be bothered to reach out to individual artists cuz there's too dang many of them, and for that I can sympathize - too much work remains off limits
I found this Rust tutorial[1] on Pratt parsers to be really easy to follow as well. I'm not a Rustacean but I didn't find not knowing Rust to be a barrier. I used that as a guide to write the parser for my experimental programming language Fur[2].

However, I'll caution anyone writing their own programming languages to read some wisdom from someone who has written a production-quality programming language[3]. Most programming language developers get bogged down in writing the parser and never even get into solving the real hard problems of language development, which are things like bytecode generation and garbage collection. The fact is, a naive recursive descent parser with some low lookahead number to handle left recursion will be performant and can be written in an afternoon for 99% of parsable languages. I'm not sure what it is about parsers that makes them susceptible to yak shaving, but it seems to be a trap a lot of people fall into (including myself!).

> The whole region was undergoing transition from developing to highly developed

From the said region. This is objectively no.

Singapore and Korea are the only twos. Korea is not even in the region.

Other countries are rampant with corruptions, political problems, and incompetence. Think of Trump and multiply it by 10. My prediction is that Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines , Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia, and etc. will never become developed. These countries are too big to change and the legacy systems (that are insanely corrupted) are too powerful.

Take Thailand for example. It's objectively bad to have military run the country. Apart from corruption, they are just incompentent; it's well known and blatant. Yet almost half of the country supports a military government.
How long will this work?
Not everybody is playing factorio or caves of qud. A lot of people are doing color match and fetch quests. It's about as mentally engaging as walking.
No, we're using EBS with Docker volumes, since all the containers are running on the same host.

SQLite actually performs very poorly on EFS in my experience (likely due to the fact that acquiring file locks is over the network).
Bad things should happen at most once. That is the point. To do that you need a culture of improvement which is not evident anywhere I’ve worked in the finance sector.
I just explained the difference between the two companies. At Twitter he has the clearance to do whatever he wants. At SpaceX, there are constraints.

I never mentioned a failed SpaceX launch.

Imagine describing Musk’s behavior to a stranger while leaving out a name: Impulsively buying a beleaguered business, then destroying its only revenue through further impulsivity. Would a well person in his situation give the recent, “Go Fuck Yourself” speech to advertisers?
How'd you guys end the conversations & after how much time?

I find it difficult to break off conversations because if I meet a new human being I'm interested in I'll want to meaningfully connect and perhaps form a light friendship.

"The problem is state" is precisely why I do my general programming with functions.
Your first point is incredibly subjective. I love the spotify app aside from the fact they keep gutting its features. I've used almost every other music app in testing to potentially leave spotify. I've been a spotify member for 16 years and can't think of a single time I thought it was bloated.

The spotify carplay/android apps absolutely DESTROY the other car apps.

I hated every single other app. Quboz, Tidal, Apple, YT, Amazon.. Most of them were so featureless I felt like I was using Winamp. But some people do love that.
The IRS definition of R&D is intended to encompass product development. Quote the tax code:

The term generally includes all such costs incident to the development or improvement of a product.

That is obviously sarcasm
Yes, and that can be done with homomorphic encryption? I don't understand your objection.
If anything, as I have interacted with more and more neurotypical people as I have aged, I believe this thought experiment is more representative of the average population than I used to, and more informative.
Isn't that... what we have here at Hacker News already?
I know firsthand people with family members who got totally wrapped up in QAnon. I also have a neighbor who has QAnon stickers all over their cars.

I'm sure it's not as huge a phenomenon as some claim, but it's definitely real.
It's commonplace, and one of a few very closely related algorithms (Pratt/TDOP, precedence climbing, shunting yard, etc.) that I guess you can call "traditional", but outside of people who regularly write parsers people are still often unaware of it.

Not least, I suspect, because while the pattern is obvious once you know it, a lot of people will implement their parser from looking at a (E)BNF representation that doesn't make it explicit. E.g. this is a small subset of Oberon 07's grammar:

expression = SimpleExpression [relation SimpleExpression].
relation = "=" | "#" | "<" | "<=" | ">" | ">=" | IN | IS.
SimpleExpression = ["+"|"−"] term {AddOperator term}.
AddOperator = "+" | "−" | OR.
term = factor {MulOperator factor}.
MulOperator = "*" | "/" | DIV | MOD | "&" .

When you know any of the precedence parser techniques and how to map a grammar to it, it's instantly obvious that this is modeling precedence rules, and it's trivial to turn it straight into a table, but if you've never written a parser before, isn't familiar with the theory, and just about figured out how to read EBNF, it's a lot easier to stumble your way to a working recursive descent parser than figuring out to generalize the grammar fragment above into reusable functions and a precedence table.
We need an LLM model for this.
The code you hired the developer to write/maintain should keep working for you after he quits/dies. Or you made a real bad investment.
Most Russians have been boiled frogs for the last several centuries by that end
I'm tempted to try if only because they might be more focused on music playback (the core value proposition of Spotify) than Spotify is at this point.

Limitations of team size can be a blessing.
There is in fact, an extreme amount of circumstantial evidence that they intentionally and knowingly violated copyright en mass. It’s been quite a popular subject in tech news the past couple weeks.
Don’t worry, other car manufacturers are clear to delineate this in their privacy policy.

I saw one in person the other day. It's a very strange car. In person I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would, but it's absolutely a "concept car" and not something the company should have put into prod beyond some kind of limited run. It also looks completely un-repairable (for a reasonable cost). I wouldn't buy one.

If they'd just done it as a concept car it would have been cool.

I've also read that the range is far below advertised and below that of a modestly priced mid-range EV due to the Cybertruck being so heavy and chunky.
Am I able to pay Spotify in cryptocurrency or a SEPA transaction? If not, then that's a big convenience issue for me and thus not worth it.
I've noticed that sometimes Google Flights finds a cheaper international fare if using the airlines site in the local currency instead of USD. Clicking the button at the end in Google Flights takes care of all the settings to get you to the price they showed.

I've also noticed Google Flights prices being outdated sometimes.

Is it possible to reliably detect whether an image is poisoned? If not then it achieves the goal of punishing entities which indiscriminately harvest data.

Wonder when that will be clearly stated with a big flashy font next the price on all stores. You buy the right to play the game, not the game.

The behavior you are engaging in is known as "moving the goalposts." It involves changing the criteria or rules during an argument or discussion, ("in the developed world" -> "for European and American countries") making the original point or argument difficult or impossible to address satisfactorily.
Excellent example. Diagram 1 is all you need.

L directly passes DC current, and low A/C frequencies also pass depending on the size of the inductor. In a simplified way the component alone acts as a low-pass filter.

C doesn't pass DC, but with A/C beyond a certain frequency in a simplified way it has no problem "broadcasting" a signal from one plate to the other within the capacitor, thereby delivering that portion of the Alternating Current to flow across the dielectric to the extent the size of the capacitor allows. Even audio signals that are nowhere near radio frequency will "broadcast" faithfully across such short physical distances which are intended for the exact purpose. C acting then as a high-pass component.

For any given frequency, if L is large enough to completely filter that frequency from passing, then the only current conducted is what is needed to initially charge C to a steady state.

In the equation both L & C are equal weighted and behave identically, theoretically.

If L is infinite, as long as C is nonzero, no A/C current flows regardless of frequency.

But if C is infinite, current flows forever without ever fully charging the capacitor, so that's like a black hole.

An ideal inductor has no internal resistance and presents no stray capacitance.

An ideal capacitor has no stray inductance and zero Equivalent Series Resistance.

Even though ideal components like that don't actually exist, that doesn't have any bearing on the theory used to explain the behavior.

But in the real world each component has a functional value. Nothing is infinite (but there are "zero ohm" resistors).

The theory's still OK, you really need to use realistic component values and frequencies for everything to make sense.

Ideally, it's probably better not to confuse infinite with ideal.
Why would that feel awkward?

What about if they're converting it into success?
great comment!

imagine being a photographer that takes decades to perfect their craft. sure another student can study and mimic your style. but it's still different than some computer model "ingesting" vast amount of photos and vomiting something similar for $5.99 in aws cpu cost so that some prompt jockey can call themselves an AI artist and make money off of other peoples talent.

i get that this is cynical and does not encompass all ai art, but why not let computers develop their own style wihout ingesting human art? that's when it would actually be AI art
What makes you say that? I feel like ex employees are less likely to conceal something like this than employees. A greater red flag for me would be a denial from someone whose $100,000+ payout from Tesla depended on the denial.

I'd prefer a 3rd party investigation, and I'm guessing the ex employee would, too, and that Tesla would oppose and obstruct.
Wodenokoto has it.

A friend was able to use the video to track a parking lot hit-and-run while his car was parked at his wife’s workplace.

Bit, there really should be an easy switch to turn off recording while the car is parked. Maybe even geo-fenced -record in public, but don’t at your home.
There is a small difference between any and all. OpenAI certainly didn't licence all of the image they use for training.
If that implies connecting to Spotify, no thanks.
If your reality is based on catering to VC funded tech companies I pity you.
Good thing, too. Have you seen the video of how the cybertruck lacks basic safety to avoid chopping off your finger when closing the hood? Other automatic doors will detect if an object is in the way, but the cybertruck will keep closing, and it has sharp unpadded edges.
If you read the article you'd know that that's exactly why organisms such as JCVI-syn3A were created, where we know the (or at least some) function of 80% of the genes.
I have two cameras in my jeep that are recording at all times. One front and back. It just overwrites its recordings after a time period.

Gives me something to report if it's broken into, hit, etc. I'd like an inside camera as well but haven't felt like adding it.

Also the Tesla uses Cameras instead of Lidar which is mentioned in the article, so they already had a million cameras they could give a driver access to.

Jeep having access to my cameras though? Super weird. Jeep can do literally nothing to assist me in any situation that I would have a recording of something happening. But that's possibly much different with Teslas camera system where it's used for self-driving etc.

This computation is assuming streaming fraud though. If they see an account doing that, they'll flag it.

Assume the album has 10 songs, is one hour long and costs $20. Ten songs means they get $0.04 each time you listen to it. So, you need to listen to the album 500 times for the artist to be paid for the album. I mostly listen in the car; call it under 2 hours a day, but lets assume 4 hours a day of listening to Spotify.

A Spotify subscription is $11 a month. I can fit 4 non-fraud plays of the album into each day, so that's 4 * 30 = 120 streams. It'd take 4 months of listening to nothing but this one album for the artist to break even, and it'd cost me $44.

Bandcamp + bittorrent would give the artists about twice as much money on average. Buying merch also pays artists more, assuming the cost of the item plus shipping is under half what they charge.
No mathematician has ever accused a physicist of being rigorous.
I’m confused why this is so impactful. If you have software devs, even if you don’t classify as R&D, you can deduct their full salaries, right?
Bangladesh is also on critical trade routes. The Port of Chittagong is one of the few things from Asia on Greek maps from the 2nd century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Chittagong. Chalking up Singapore’s success to geography is probably missing the point.
Baffling to see anyone argue against this technology when it is a non-issue to any model by simply acquiring only training data you have permission to use.
No idea if this was Tesla’s justification, but it can be useful for hit-and-run while parked.

Though Tesla probably did it because they could and Elon said so.
What's the current legal risk of using a VPN in China or Russia these days? I found a couple articles about people getting charged, but none I know to be reputable or particularly well written.
Also South Korea was a Japanese colony. Colonies are double edged swords: they benefit from the injection of foreign expertise (technology, administration, standardization, ties, etc.,) but suffer from lopsided resource extraction. I think overall there is a long-term benefit from this forced infusion, but for lots of people it’s problematic.

It’s the age old complaint about the Romans by their conquered peoples as illustrated in the Life of Brian.
The IRS provided incrementally helpful guidance on the types of costs that must be capitalized in September. The capitalization requirements are generally more restrictive than GAAP where only ~30% of costs are capitalized for book purposes at many companies. There are some types of software development that are outside the scope of 174 though such as UI changes that don't add new capabilities.
