I have this

https://epson.com/For-Work/Printers/Inkjet/EcoTank-Photo-ET-...

which I use for photo and art reproductions. I could send the work out to an almost unlimited number of places like Staples, Kinkos, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Shutterfly, SmugMug, etc. I don’t because (i) I like to pick out my paper and (ii) like precise control of the border, if you make borderless prints at the drugstore you will get things close to the edge cut off and can do better if you print yourself. (I make a lot fewer borderless prints now that I have a rotary cutter.)

I use that printer to make an occasional ‘office’ print on cheap paper and it is adequate for that but if that was what I needed a printer for I would get a laser.

I learned to enjoy the software that comes with the printer, which I did not expect. Printing labels on an oprtical disc is easy and the built-in software gives me precise control of margins and paper geometry I could not get in Photoshop.

I found the cheaper ET-3850 used ink that faded noticeably in 6 months, lightfastness of the ET-8550 is a lot better.
> but people who use ChatGPT on the interviews make a disservice to themselves and

I think most people have been thinking that the interviews are mostly BS with little relationship to the job, which you simply have to get through.

Many, many people will cheat to the extent that they think they can get away with it.

It's a bit like many people cheat in school. (On classes they consider irrelevant, they might justify it that way. On classes relevant, they might justify it, that passing or their GPA is more relevant to their goals, than learning that material at that time.)

I think people generally don't believe a "you're doing a disservice to yourself" argument. They choose the tradeoff or the gamble.

Personally, I don't tolerate cheating, and I have a low tolerance for interview BS. Neither is the dominant strategy for the current field.
There are far far more dollars available to people that are on the "AI Safety" bandwagon than to those pushing back against it.

The idea that the Upton Sinclair effect is the source of pushback against AI Safety zealotry, is getting things largely backwards AFAICT.

Folks that are stressing the importance of studying the impact of concentrated corporate power, or the risk of profit-driven AI deployment, and so forth are receiving very little financial support.
What's the theory behind that?
And even if true, what's the problem with using electricity if it's created cleanly?
I'm sure it would help, but in my experience, I don't find them a replacement for hearing aids.

I have tried this a bit with first-generation Airpod Pros. Wearing them for a long time is annoying, in part due to battery life. But they are much better than hearing aids for recorded music, so I swap between my hearing aids and airpods depending on what I'm doing.

They are optimized for different things.
Fo sho, yes.

Also, I like how you trim your front sail (cut if your jib), we should be friends.

Very generous way to apply the term "diet"
It’s no longer simple when you have platform code to prevent nodes from disappearing or dying on the minute on a kubernetes cluster the size of slack. A triggered pulse event stream would have done the trick to invoke a lambda or call code for every “thing” that needed a beat. Kubernetes comes with a scheduler…
Sure sure, to be clear: I know exactly what Cato is and does, and what to expect. And I even agree with a lot of it. But I also know that Cato at least pretents to be high brow and considered, they certainly aren't Heritage.

Which is why I was so disappointed to see that throwaway spin in there seemingly blaming the covid pandemic on the Jones Act shipping regulation. That's just bad form.
Why will Apple hide a connector like that then? Is it a more power efficient design/connector? Is there a patent?
Oh, I do too. But then his monotone typing out of the answer, eyes darting back and forth between two screens, it’s kind of obvious. The select all just starts me looking.

Running Bitcoin is extremely useful - you just to learn more (far too much to explain here) to understand why
This is either brilliantly absurd, or ridiculously stupid, depending on your POV
> We are looking from the perspective of A, to map the entries for B (inbound), and after the request to B is returned, we map back to A's model (outbound). This is a chore, and much of the work is repetitive, but it comes with its edge cases that we need to look out for and unfortunately there isn't a solid foundation of patterns apart from the Domain-driven design (DDD) thing.

This sounds like a job for protobufs or some kind of serialization solution. And you already know there are dragons here, so letting a LLM try and solve this is just going to mean more rework/validation for you.

If you don't understand the problem space, hire a consultant. LLMs are not consultants (yet). Either way, I'd quit wasting time on trying to feed your codebase into a LLM and just do the work.
It doesn't help that CS students will potentially end up hearing the term "nondeterminism" to mean different things in different contexts. In the context of the linked repo, it's used in the way they'll probably encounter it when learning about Turing machines, but in less formal contexts it also gets used a lot to describe stuff like "Heisenbugs" where running something more than once doesn't necessarily end up in the same result
Citibank refused to reimburse scam victims who lost "life savings"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you encapsulate data with c? It's been 25 years since I've used it but I thought it was possible.
On an only slightly related note: is there any good way to check PDFs for malware/executables?

If I'm stuck with an attempt at it, the best I can think of is opening in a new QEMU or docker with no Internet access, but that's 1) a fair but of work to check something, and 2) probably not even that secure. Using some cli tool, like xxx, bat, or ranger, that does some processing to extract the text and looking at just that feels more secure - but I know it really isn't.

What is a simple tool to "clean" PDFs?
An ML tool that does QEMU/docker/no-net to extract the content, turns that into game, and saves a typst/latex template with it would probably be the best possible outcome - but that's a decent (yet potentially very lucrative) task.
Oh, I see you're using an existing ISA and not creating your own for this. And also, where do you get off using existing integrated circuits. From scratch means you have to start from sand and make your own nand gates and get to an adder and a latch and then a cpu and write an operating system for it before you can get to using language that you invented for this purpose.
Yes I do. I've talked to them about it in depth.

Thanks for that. I needed a good chuckle after today.

I'd rather shoot for a world where clean energy is abundant than abandon the benefits of ever increasing computational power. Thankfully, this is the world we are trending towards, and not the world of 'humans are a virus' self loathing, even if the toxic mindset is having a moment.

Thanks for engaging in a discussion about AIXR. IMO it's important to figure out if we are actually about to kill ourselves or whether some people are just getting worked up over nothing.

> We should also deeply worry about space aliens showing up and blasting us out of the sky. If they're sufficiently powerful, that could absolutely happen! Stop any radio emissions!

If I believed that dangerous space aliens were likely, then I would be interested in investigating ways to avert/survive such an encounter. This seems pretty rational to me, but maybe I'm confused.

> xRisk is an absolutely stupid way to reason about AI. It's an unprovable risk that requires "mitigation just in case".

By "unprovable risk" do you mean that it's literally impossible to know anything about the likelihood that dangerous algorithms could kill (nearly) all people on Earth?

> All this is is saying "but if it were to happen, the cost is infinity, so any risk is a danger! Infinity times anything is infinity!". It's playground reasoning.

Maybe you've seen people make that argument, but it strikes me as a strawman. Here is what I consider to be a better argument for not rushing ahead with capabilities development.

Premise 1. I value my own survival over just about anything else.

Premise 2. If an existential catastrophe occurs, then I will die.

Premise 3. If ASI is built before alignment is understood, then there is a significant chance of existential catastrophe.

Conclusion. So, I strongly prefer that ASI not be built until alignment is understood.
> The problem is I don't want it to be doing computationally complex things. I want to use an irc chat equivalent

Have you considered the possibility that the phone is doing what most phone users want, and that their needs being more complex than yours doesn't mean that "programming can be massively wasteful on resources"? Instead, the phone you purchased is not fit for your purposes.

> But mundane tasks I know shouldn't by any rights be complex regularly take forever to complete

It is also possible that what it takes to complete that task is somewhat more complex these days than you realize. Not because it's poorly programmed, but because the software is designed to support many more features than you are currently using. An individual user may only rely on 5% of the features, but different users want a different set of 5%. Supporting other people's needs isn't any more wasteful than supporting your needs.
Thanks for the follow up. Dunno if I missed it in the article, but I did not notice it specifying if the attack was via 0 day or not, that's why I speculated the possibility.

Where did you read that they are not 0 days?
Not everybody remembers what it was like before Bob Marley became popular outside of the Caribbean.

"Bong" was not widely recognized in the US vocabulary since it referred only to one of the legendary Rastafarian techniques for smoking their ganja, other than "spliffs", and not very many Americans had even heard of the Rastas at all back then.

This was a bamboo tube about 2 inches in diameter with a water chamber at the bottom and a smoking inlet there. All other "water pipes" which had become popular with the hippies had been derived from South Asian hookahs, which had been readily available in all sizes imported from India for decorative use since before there were hippies.

Nobody ever called them "bongs" until the Jamaican came along.

And these were 4-foot long pieces of bamboo, anything less was not considered a "bong" until a number of years later.

Long bong holders indeed.
Could it be the training data contained a large trove of generic essays used by college students to cheat on writing assignments?

I mean, maybe it's already been suggested, but I haven't seen anyone come right out and say it.
Spinlaunch is completely unsuitable for manned craft due to the extreme acceleration. Rather, what you want is a variation on a maglev train. In the lunar vacuum there's not really any speed limit. You can make a very long track. Put another on top upside-down. Your train can ride on either track--once it reaches orbital velocity it will be riding on the top track instead. Human tolerable accelerations with an ejection velocity sufficient to take you anywhere in the solar system.

Thanks. I would be interesting though, to see how things plays out. Fortunately, it's no a requirement, just a "side quest".
Might sound like an ass but would it be possible to tell something was made with the help of AI in the future?

Sure, most things AI generated can seem obvious that it's... well AI generated. But if it was generated and afterwards fine-tuned by people, the content would be indistinguishable.

Just to put it out there, Although I'm biased towards AI as i believe it can benefit people, I understand well enough the people it can benefit could be saints or assholes.
I checked out the site, and if I hadn't known it was a coffee company, I would have thought it was a supplement company. As it was, I thought that this must be coffee with added supplements (which does not appeal to me). It wasn't until I got to an actual product page that I realized that the "supplement" concept was just the branding. If I were simply browsing for coffee, I would have left the site from the home page without exploring enough to understand it's just branded that way.

The home page offers minimal value in understanding the concept. If you had a text section just below your hero that explained why/how you are marketing coffee as a "supplement", it would be extremely helpful. Something light-hearted that hammers home the point you are treating coffee as a supplement. You already lean into it by having supplement info sheets on the product pages, so perhaps below the explanation, you could put some CTAs to drive people to click on/order the coffee. Like, "Looking for sweet flavor with an intense aroma? Try X. Looking for a more traditional flavor? Try Y".

Obviously these are quick off-the-cuff suggestions, but the meta-problem I'm looking at is helping a new visitor understand your branding and aid them to find what looks like really good coffee by easing them into the "supplement" branding concept.

If you're targeting gamers, to me nothing about the site indicated gamer-related or even gamer-adjacent except for the label font. The pictures are all hoodied zoomers. If you want to go after the gamer supplement market, I think you might need a redesign that focuses even harder on the supplement concept (e.g. Kill Enemies Faster! Shave Seconds off your Speedrun!), as the current one feels like it's targeted at higher-end urban professionals and influencers.

I hope any of this is helpful. The social proof makes the product sounds fantastic and I'd love to try it.
But seriously, there are 1000's of cryptocurencies, you can't logic the possibility that even one was built with 'non-scammy' intentions? Cause 1 is all it takes to refute that 'ceyotocurrencies are inherently a scam'.

I'm sure your being vacecious, but there are those that would comment that seriously.
Perhaps your request for clarification was added after I replied, or perhaps I just missed it. Charity urges me to accept the fault as mine, so please accept my apology for overlooking what surely could not have been an after the fact revision. In any case, what I was saying was that in my experience, often OOP is applied where it isn't suited, particularly in the application layer between a client and a relational database, and this is the source of much of the criticism of OOP which the OP is trying to deflect. In that case, it isn't OOP critics who don't understand OOP, but rather OOP practitioners who don't understand OOP well enough to know when not to use it. I believe a close reading of my comment reveals that this is what I was saying, so that a clarification isn't strictly needed though it's happily provided.
Yes, he is in politics. His rant is more in line with today’s politicial speech than that PR website.
Unclear exactly what you are expecting to do here, but in any case you shouldn't need to train on your own codebase.

The idea is you put your code into the best possible model (GPT4) and tell it what you want and it generates code.
I like the idea. It reminds me of the incredible issue with US banks where the most common way to setup 3rd party integrations with it is to give your username and password. Like, WTF?

It’s funny because as a passionate self-hoster, I consider as an advantage what you consider as a drawback.

I don't disagree but maintaining an arsenal of defensive parents is Enterprise IP legal 101. All the big companies do this. The goal is to avoid litigation by mutually assured destruction. At least that's what they tell you. Many projects
grant you patents as part of, for example, an OSS project's license.

It's not unusual to include a clause that voids any such terms of you litigate over your own parents, for example -- hence the mutually assured destruction. Can you imagine what would happen if Google and Facebook tried to duke out some dumb software patent in court? A waste for all parties.

Lastly Google has a wealth of resources here: https://google.github.io/opencasebook/patents/#patents-in-op...

While 30 million is too much, that’s less than 10% of the population. In the most populated areas it’s most common to have a duopoly. Sucks but “I don’t think there are many places that aren’t Comcast only” is not close to being accurate. They’re not even the dominant provider in Texas and New York.

Also Carroll, from The Hunting of the Snark

He had bought a large map representing the sea,

Without the least vestige of land

And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be

A map they could all understand.

“What’s the good of Mercator’s North Poles and Equators,Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?”

So the Bellman would cry

and the crew would reply

“They are merely conventional signs!

“Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes!

But we’ve got our brave Captain to thank

(So the crew would protest) that he’s bought us the best

A perfect and absolute blank!”
Lots of "how to" articles written by AI with insufficient editorial oversight. For example, I was trying to learn about buffers for polishing things (like buffing the clear coat on a car, or buffing a floor) and one of the articles I found veered off into talking about electronic buffers (like for driving outputs) which I would have expected a Real Human to know was completely out of place, and not to have included it.

That and how pointlessly rambly they are. Maybe good if I'm trying to fall asleep, but totally grinds my gears when I'm looking for information! (Pretty sure they do it that way to increase the number of ads shown to users over the course of the material)
have never had that wish at all personally, tbh
Amazing how many companies in all industries try to do the tactic of "our product/service isn't meeting basic standards? Give us more money to fix it".

I'm frankly only ever willing to be upsold when I'm very satisfied with something and would like even more satisfaction in my life.
Network transparency is not required for wireless video, either.
My mother used to drag me to the Hallmark store as a kid and she'd spend unreasonable amounts of time chatting with the workers and browsing who knows what. I think this was before I had a Gameboy and my only salvation was reading those Farside books. I both enjoyed them and was seriously creeped out by them. They also had Calvin and Hobbes which I adored.
I think we can cut it short. Your OP never claimed that databases automatically apply the desired acid properties. I think his point was simply that's it's possible with them and not without them (without building your own acid system). No need to discuss it further.

I think you merely interpreted them in a very unfortunate way.
Zanzibar and macaroons are actually pretty complimentary.

>the cost is infinity, so any risk is a danger

That's not the argument. The argument is that human extinction is what you would naturally expect to happen if AI research continues on its present course unless you are biased because your income depends on AI research continuing unimpeded or you have an irrational emotional need to believe that technological progress is always good or you considered the question for 3 minutes then held stubbornly to the conclusions of that 3 minutes of thinking.

When sci-fi authors for example have treated the topic in fiction (e.g., Vinge, Greg Bear, James Cameron's Terminator) most of the time the AI wipes out the species that created it.
This line from the k8s CronJob docs has always made me nervous about adopting them:

Not me. I see it all the time, online and offline. I suspect they think it confers status on themselves, but what actually happens is honest people wind up shunning them.
Does it implement the greedy matching/parsing of gnuplot? Doesn't look like it?

pl 'data.dat' u 1:3 w p pt 7 lc 3 tit 'Interesting measurements'

flows from my mind like breathing. I miss that brevity and speed so much when exploring datasets quickly in other languages....

It's not nearly as maintainable as more-verbose and well-specified languages, but it's far more readable than regex :).

Edit to add: simply plotting a two-column data file in Gnuplot is as simple as:

pl 'data.dat'

the above plots the third column against the first column with blue circular dots and applies annotated text to the key/legend, as I prefer to do when exploring data for the first time...
My goal is to (1) try running an A.I. locally and see if it works, out curiosity, and (2) delve into A.I. concepts. I do not intend to use it as the definitive tool to code for me, and maybe I shouldn't.

Realistically, since we are in a Azure ecosystem, I would use Codex to try out a solution.
Improved anti-spam technologies would be wonderful with the increased spam in recent years via text and phone calls. Having it built into the OS as an option would be great. It feels like most email spam filters work fairly well, so hopefully that can translate to other mediums.

Good question. https://signal.org/blog/signal-is-expensive/ says:

> When you send a message, the Signal service temporarily queues that message for delivery. As soon as your message is delivered, that small bundle of encrypted data (i.e. your message) can be dropped from the queue. The storage of end-to-end encrypted files is temporary too, and any undelivered end-to-end encrypted data is automatically purged after a period of inactivity. Even though everything is only temporary, this storage still costs Signal around $1.3 million dollars per year.

I assume they're probably speaking honestly, and have no reason to investigate (since I don't use it). But if you were doing a critical analysis, I guess you could consider that, for $1.3M/year, one could also store a lot of "metadata" for later traffic analysis, social network mapping, propagation tracking, etc. It'd be tickling to think that fact could be hiding in plain sight the whole time, in invoices and accounting disclosures.
