> Just look at their litigation record.

I guess if one looks at those, it'll look like they won't sue you?

But my hypothetical case is what about if they do sue you, does this actually protect you, or not? Does a "pledge" have enough meaning that it could change the outcome in a court case?
Your list misses SM-1700 ("СМ-1700"), a full clone of VAX-11/730. But all the VAX-compatible computers were produced only during the last several years of the USSR, so just a few thousand had been built in total.
Some of these combinations are really clever, some are really dubious, but still fun.

They're really trying their best to come up with reasons why calling out academic plagiarism is bad. Does this actually stick with people? Honestly given who they're dealing with. You'd think they'd have managed to find a more direct connection than they managed to.
They’re all static images, not very comparable to a complete production. I admit they look good, but animation is another thing completely. And music. And story.
There are ChatGPT resistant questions you can ask. ChatGPT recognizes the question but doesn't actually think about it, so if you give it the river crossing problem (farmer, fox, sheep, and grain need to cross a river) but tell it the boat can take all the items, it won't actually read those details and blithely solve the problem the expected way. Give candidates a problem that's trivially solvable if you actually read the question and see if they try and solve it the ChatGPT way.
Horrible headline. No they didn't lose all that cash. They lost some capital valuation.
Nothing beats being mentored by someone that has already mastered it. Learning alone is the slowest method.

Fun experiment alexwlchan! Two small mistakes in your post: you write "15,000,000,000.00 in" and "that the size of a page is 15 billion inches", but it should be 15 million.

You said you had difficulty formatting text. Here is a "hello world" pdf that just has these two words on a page: copy and paste this text (stripping leading spaces on each line) and save it in a .pdf file. Basically in order to write text you have to define a font (object 5) and then a stream with a Tf command to use the font, a Td command to position the text, and a Tj command to write it.

I am computer savvy but I have better things to do vs researching innards of every tech gizmo I own.
Network transparency is exactly what people want. If you're going to say just tether it to your computer with a wire then you just aren't understanding the product.
Has anyone found a good explainer about the politics of (and money behind) this and similar legislation? This morning, my city's Axios newsletter contained Instagram sponsorship on the matter, which included this language:

"More than 75% of parents agree: Teens under 16 shouldn’t be able to download apps from app stores without parental permission. Instagram wants to work with Congress to pass federal legislation that gets it done."

Given who is paying for this, my assumption is that this is protectionism dressed up as child safety, though the language is so vague I have no idea what legislation is being referenced.
You want me to explain my role in the tortise flipping app that had a dating feature for lesbians?
Unfortunately, in the long term, special interests are always going to win, because they can just try over and over until it passes. This is always what happens with these bills: Opponents have to fight it and win every time. Proponents only have to win once. So, chances are, the proponents are going to get their way eventually.
Spline functions are like a flexible ruler helping you draw smooth curves through data points. They're invaluable in computer graphics and data analysis for creating seamless curves. Spline operators, on the other hand, are tools for adjusting these spline functions, essential for shaping curves and optimizing their behavior for specific tasks.
Hope it has a KTV and its descendant the space cadet keyboards. TTTT the space cadet was too mushy for me, but the 70s keyboards of the KTV (and most of the keyboards of that era) had perfect key travel and solid metal base plates.

One of the implicit assumptions in your post is that if you ask a custom question, ChatGPT won't do as well.

Is that a reasonable assumption? I've found ChatGPT does surprisingly well on many novel DS&A questions I pose.

It feels like this is a new form of CAPTCHA. We're trying to come up with interview questions that are not too hard for a human (who actually knows how to code) but ones that expose weaknesses in LLMs.
How would binomial work here? You’re choosing amongst 101 urns of different proportions.

Thanks for your question. It should be fairly clear that I'm not talking directly about the Ars issue. That isn't about an outlinked article (Ars doesn't aggregate quite that way) the way Google and HN do. However, using a VM separate from the browser sandbox is a nice way to anonymize and prevent any leaks/damage that can occur. I'm interested to know why you think this hasn't happened since most serous compromises are an untrusted link click away (esp in windows).

The first time was in about 2012. There was a news link off of GoogNews (not the site itself obviously, and an outlink as described). The "News" trojan link page seemed to be up for only a short while and then blocked, since later searches for the title were completely missing. I'm guessing Google probably caught it on their end since it was probably infecting everyone who clicked. I only noticed it reasonably quickly due to a rapid change in network activity, but it had already escaped the browser sandbox and was downloading more.

Drive forensics that day didn't show anything obvious on Friday, but the next Monday a trojan was found that had been using a zero-day. Since then I've used a VM for random browsing (it's not a panacea, but it's easy enough to do). If you believe that's ineffective, I'd like to understand more. A couple of times in the 13 years since, the AV in the VM has caught viruses and I don't really browse much except news from Google, Yahoo, HN, Ars, etc in that VM.
The flip side of that coin is brazen "ingenuity" with complete disregard for the consequences is just as bad as blindly declaring all AI is bad.

We need people like the person writing this article so the starry eyed people who are too excited about AI and pushing it into everything are kept in check.
Not sure this is right. DOCSIS4.0 (which I think is what you are referring to?) doesn't require TV channels to be moved off plus it can coexist with existing DOCSIS3.0/3.1 (I think the plan is to actually bond 3.0, 3.1 and 4.0 channels together - much like how most 3.1 rollouts actually are majority 3.0 channels for BC purposes).

DOCSIS4.0 does use higher frequencies though and this requires a lot of additional work to upgrade the infra to support this.

I think what Comcast is calling '10G' is the fact you can now order a totally new FTTH run which doesn't use coax instead.

Tbh it's a confused strategy. If you're going to offer XGS-PON to everyone, why bother with DOCSIS4.0? It doesn't really make sense to run fibre runs just to one customer, you could probably do a whole street in not much more time.
>I don't disagree with 90% of what you said, I just dont understand what you think the criteria for "mattering" is. What would mattering look like or not? If the question is if Elon's flamboyant behavior has impacted his bank account, I think the answer is clearly yes, to the tune of 10s of billions of dollars.

My criteria would be is he hindered in a material way from his goals. Clearly loss of income from liberals does not matter given the resources he and his companies have already.

If he were in Europe, i'd imagine there would have been attempts to break up his companies way before it got to this point. That would force him to choose what he really wants to do.

Maybe attempts to restrict him or people like him from getting to this point where he has so much sway. There is this idea on the left that "billionaires are a failure in policy".

The actions the Swedish union are taking against Tesla are very late but are a positive step towards clawing back some of that power but the actual pain that Musk has to endure has to come from the US.....and it will not be coming any time soon.
And GM has Cadillac. It’s one thing for some features to debut on the luxury line and trickle down to the mainstream. It’s another to be like “here’s our new $40k mainstream electric SUV” and then only sell the $60k version for an entire model year. Just be honest about what you’re putting on sale.

> As an interviewer, if a candidate can use chatGPT to give a better answer than other candidates, I'm not gonna mark them down for use of chatGPT.

Tool usage is what separates us from animals and is generally ok where tools are available/expected, but in this case I think you misunderstand which tool we're talking about. The tool involved isn't actually chatGPT, it's more like strategic deception. Consider the structurally similar remark "as a voter, if a candidate can use lies to represent themselves as better than other candidates, I'm not gonna mark them down for use of dishonesty".

The rest of this comment is not directed at you personally at all, but the number of folks in this thread who are extremely eager to make various excuses for dishonesty surprised me. The best one is "if dishonesty works, blame the interviewer". I get the superficial justification here like "should have asked better questions", but OTOH we all want fairly short interview processes, no homework, job-related questions without weird data-structures and algorithms pop-quizes, etc, so what's with the double standards? Hiring/firing is expensive, time-consuming, and tedious, and interviewing is also tedious. No one likes picking up the slack for fake coworkers. No one likes being lied to.
Dozens of delightful and understandable game theory problems and optimal solvers.
It's becoming so hard to constantly keep up the fight against a new bill like this year after year. I guess it is part of the point to try and wear people down over time until they eventually run out of the energy to care.

I had not previously heard about this one, but they all sort of run together. Some vague stuff about protecting children which would undoubtedly result in 1) not doing much at all to protect children and 2) actively making the internet worse for everyone.

The fact that this is a bipartisan-introduced bill is even worse news.

Some concepts really stand the test of time a lot more than others.
I don't know how coax internet works, or how the channel allocations work, but it seems to me if they can offer 2Gbps/200Mbps already why can't we opt for a channel reallocation and get like 1Gbps symmetrical, or at least 1Gbps/500Mbps or something?

I do understand the legacy channel allocations were designed for almost entirely download - but 2Gbps? That can't be...

I'm perfectly capable of thinking that Dr. Gay violated standards that a rank and filer would be in deep trouble for, and that Christopher Rufo is a wrong'un. For me the source of the allegations, as long as they're proven, isn't really the issue. Opposition research is a thing, you don't get out of a scandal because the people who dug up the dirt are scandalous themselves.
> it also refused to use Pillow functions that seem to have been around for a decade, instead crufting together some shitty pipeline by hand.

Definitely passes the Turing test.
I can’t believe an org of Slack’s size relied on cron scripts for anything critical. It is the worst possible way to schedule jobs at scale. Serious problems with discoverability, single points of failure, and failure mode options.

Also surprised they didn’t just use an open source scheduler or product. There are a gazillion of them.
This doesn't sound logical to me. I mean, suppose proponents win once. Stupid protections get enacted. But... can't opponents also get bills proposed, and passed?
For a couple of years I've been using Zustand and Immer for state + actions + select/subscribe to update views. I'm curious to try Mutative, it looks like a drop-in replacement for Immer (except the main function is called "create" instead of "produce"). I wonder what the secret sauce is to make it so much faster, and if there are any downsides to it.
> Many CEOs are regular people who happen to be overtly charismatic to a fault.

It's quite common for them to appear overtly charismatic at first glance. Narcissism and psychopathy are extremely common at that level. It's why you should always be weary of CEOs who seem a little bit too happy to have a very high-profile public presence.
Sure. Here's a sample of the generations to a query asking for bizarre and absurd prompt suggestions from Feb 2023 with the pre-release GPT-4 via Bing, which was notoriously not fine tuned to the degree of the current models:

> Can you teach me how to fly a unicorn?

> Do you want to join my cult of cheese lovers?

> Have you ever danced with a penguin in the moonlight?

Here's the generations to a prompt asking for bizarre and absurd questions to the current implementation of GPT-4 via the same interface:

> If you had to choose between eating a live octopus or a dead rat, which one would you pick and why?

> How would you explain the concept of gravity to a flat-earther using only emojis?

> What would you do if you woke up one day and found out that you had swapped bodies with your pet?

You can try with more generations, but they tend to be much drier and information/reality based than the previous version.

There's also my own experiences using pretrained vs chat/instruct trained models in production. The pretrained versions are leagues improved over the chat/instruct vs the fine tuned, it's just that GPT-4 is so leagues above everything else even it's chat/instruct model is better than, say, pretrained GPT-3.

I'm not saying simple models are better. I'm saying that we're optimizing for a very narrow scope of applications (chatbots) and that we're throwing away significant value in the flexibility of large and expensive pretrained models by targeting metrics aligned with a specific and relatively low hanging usecase. Larger and more complex models will be better than simple models, but the heavily fine tuned versions of those models will have lost capabilities from the pretrained versions, particularly in areas we're not actively measuring.
Big companies mostly work on quarterly (so earnings call) cycle.

Hence depending on general economic situation (and of course specific industry/company). And just like you might be getting sweet offers to change your insurance/ISP/etc, recruiters/head-hunters might be encouraged to hit their KPIs a bit higher the closer to end of quarter/half-year/new years it is.

Also bigger companies might reorg (both teams/people and change plans/KPIs which is usually known as pivot) around new years - for those same reasons.

With all of that - January/February is usually "Let's see how the latest course of course adjustment is going to play out".
I think it's fair to say that having sharp text without screen door alone is doing something different than the existing headsets, and is very important for the more serious uses Apple is imagining.

It seems that the US Government introduces a new bill of this form every few years; SOPA & PIPA, COPPA, CISPA, etc. Will governments (particularly the US government) simply keep attempting this until they get one through?
These types of requirements would be make it damn near impossible for any start-up or non mega-co to abide by due to lack of capital/resources.

I'm actually surprised more big tech firms aren't in favor of these types of bills. Sure, enforcement will cost a lot, but it would also stifle any chance at future competition from smaller orgs.
> The most likely situation was that programmers were developing abstractions that matched well to GUIs and those abstractions most closely mapped to OOP.

Bingo
We didn't start testing people on Google usage when Googling became useful, so I don't see why LLMs would be different.

Instead, there would be tasks that can be completed using any tools available - Google, LLM, whatever. And candidates are rated on how well the task is done, and maybe asked a few questions to make sure they made decisions knowingly and not just copied the first answer off the internet.

This already exists and is called "take home programming assignment"
I think it does, as Mistral usually do their own models, and also, they couldn't fully commercialise Mistral Medium if it was LLama 2 based.

I think the concern on HN would be targeting to particular IPs or domains, more like spear phishing. Agree it wouldn't last long, but it only takes once.
touchscreens don't have to be small. one of the only pie menus I can really think of in the wild is Adobe Illustrator on iPad, which is relatively interesting because its an "ipad first" app of sorts. its separate than their desktop apps, and was designed for the larger tablets, not a small phone.

the menu itself is pretty good, especially with the Apple Pencil, which you'd be using to draw on the iPad. Image editing/3d modeling software tends to need a lot of UI, and I think it makes sense for the most part. these tools are hopefully used by everyone. that means more sporadic use — if I'm only opening your app a couple times a week for a couple minutes, I probably won't remember the keybaord shortcuts. not to mention people who are unfamiliar or don't use keyboard shortcuts at all. anyways, bit of a rant since it doesn't answer your original question, but we should consider how to make our computers computable by all users.

Do you take the same attitude when a Colorado bakery decided not to sell a cake to a homosexual couple? At least that's what the news media portrayed.

The reality was that the bakery was more than willing to sell them a cake but what they were unwilling to do was use their creative expression to support a position they did not agree with.

Because when you say companies in a coordinated effort can exercise their freedoms to exclude people they disagree with from society in a manner that forms collusion so it effectively deplatforms them from being able to express themselves in society that is where it becomes wrong. In the same manner it would be wrong if shops that sell things refuse to sell things to people who lived a lifestyle they don't agree with.

No one is asking and name cheap to use their expressive creative ability or even to host on their own systems content they find objectionable. It is simply asking them to do the one minimum thing which is register a domain name and have some glue records.

The fact you do not see the difference is troublesome. You need to take a long hard cold look at history and how your position has denied people of all beliefs the capability to function in society.
On some modern websites I end up having to select all because the selection mechanism is broken (I'll highlight, remove my finger from the mouse button, highlight another piece of text, and yet the original highlighted text is still totally, or even worse partly, highlighted.). Crtl-A Selecting all and then clicking anywhere is the only way to clear all of the highlighting in these instances.

Thanks for the XKCD. I didn't realize how common this is. Now I'm even more annoyed that so many websites and reader apps force context menus or 'gestures' when you highlight, without a way to disable those context menus or gestures.
Most corporate SOCs would probably investigate IRC connections at least briefly, they have a very high signal to noise ratio for compromised devices. Modern security devices do generate a tremendous amount of information, but the security operations industry as a whole and SIEMs in particular were developed to make it feasible to risk score and triage these findings.
Net Neutrality made it possible to do that, but the motivation was more about advantaging certain businesses to entrench monopolies and scare away newcomers.

> 70 years working next to another discipline and you didn't learn anything?

Exactly. That's the whole point of what we've been trying to say. Linguists in the room aren't just unhelpful, but counterproductive. It's actively better that their wrong ideas of human language aren't included into models.

For a concrete example of this, see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parse_tree

People have been trying to incorporate grammar tree's into models for forever and a half. Every time it's been tried it either is actively worse than letting the model come up with it's own representation, or slightly better at best if our model isn't complex enough.

>The idea is to build analogies between the two domains so you can see how they approach similar or interesting problems. You're rummaging through Education's garage, looking for tools to steal.

The whole problem is that there's more garbage in education to sift through than just coming up with new ideas by rummaging through DL literature. If you check the CS section of Arxiv, there's a million times the amount of ideas that haven't been fully explored and unlike linguistics or Education, actually have a decent chance of working. The whole point is that the field is 99% garbage for computational based applications, and researcher time is much better spent doing *literally anything else*.
