What even is "good"?

Look at what Amazon sells. Page after page of generic products with nonsensical names. Investors and shareholders don't care, as long as people are handing over their payment information and buying something. That's all that seems to matter when it comes to tech valuation - the mere promise, however distant, that people will buy more crap on your digital land so you charge your little sales tax on every sale.

Just a heads up that this is sometimes not the information you are looking for. My city has one school district, but there are then individual school boundaries within that district - which is what everyone really cares about. Not even the county provided gis data has the individual school boundaries, you have to get it directly from the city.

I thought it was in reference to Trurl's Electronic Bard, which just about presciently predicted LLM output (though the process is a bit more dramatic, what with how it simulates the whole universe to get to that output): https://electricliterature.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Tr...

I took my kids to Paris Disneyland recently.

I could have paid for a fast pass, but the entry fee was already twice what every other theme park costs. I figured I'd get value for the huge amount of money I paid them for a standard ticket. But in reality the lines were ridiculous. It's clear that the Disney is incentivised to overfill the park and make the experience for most of their customers worse so they can upsell people on the fast pass.

There's also a massive irony that the happiest place on earth, the idealised version of Americana, being a two tiered system of haves and have nots.
These are terror attacks, not three people trying to shoot the same target in a motorcade.

It impedes their situational awareness. If they're waiting on signals that never come, you win. If you capture one, he can't warn the others.

This is pretty close to how AlphaZero works.

Never believe an economist when they say "x will cause y." They didn't predict inflation. Then they predicted that fighting it would cause a big recession, and it didn't. They seem pretty good at measuring the current state of things, but the whole field has very low predictive power.

I've always wished that there was an option to whitelist certain area codes. I've had the same number for 20 years, and now live in a different part of the country. I get very little spam from local area codes -- but a ton spoofing my phone number's area code. Sending all calls all those calls to voicemail while continuing to ring for local would be the right balance (kids' school, doctors office, etc...).
There is litegraph.js also. Does anyone know if there is something like a plugin/node contribution system for litegraph or something derived from it?

Sounds like "bot", which is good from a topical perspective, but bad from a false-positive perspective.
The problem with this approach is that it incentivizes the incredulous, overhyped, yellow journalism that people (at least claim to) hate.

Good journalism takes time, and there are a lot of dead ends. Even entire stories.

One personal example -- in a previous point in my life when I worked as TV news producer, I once thought I discovered an incredible example of government over-spending -- airports in the middle of nowhere Alaska built to handle the largest commercial jetliners. But after further digging, I learned that this really made flights to and from Asia safe; a pilot could opt for one of these long runways in an emergency. Suddenly they didn't seem so pointless -- and there was never a story.

That's the kind of rabbit hole I would not have been able to go down if my entire paycheck was dependent on maximum eyeballs. Could it have been a story? Yes! Was it? No! Was it something I thought warranted a few hours of investigation? Yes.

These various business models all have pros and cons, but ultimately, some form of community investment into media is needed. Whether thats through subscriptions, advertising, donations, or some thing else is still unclear. And of course, on the newsroom side of things, they need to foster the trust that they are looking into things that may turn out to be nothing, but also could be important. We as a society just need to find a way to pay for it.
> It would defeat the purpose of putting a home in an llc for anonymity.

That's a legitimate desire, and I think we should make privacy and the motives behind it available to everyone, not only those who can afford the expense and effort to set up and maintain an LLC.

(I'd expect the solution to be a combination of changes: outlaw most data-brokering and trading of personal data, hold organizations responsible for the data they hold so much that they treat unnecessary personal data like an existential-threat toxic liability, change practices to make SWAT-ing not be such a risk even if some psycho did get hold of someone's address, hold demagogues responsible for using conspiracy theories they know are false to incite mentally ill people, and more.)
It seems like this approach is really popular. Have no spammers/data brokers caught on and started stripping the +identifier?
It is very nice to see your inside view. For me as an outsider: Mozilla is FireFox and that that doesn't seem to have registered with Mozilla management is irritating me beyond measure because it means that (1) I don't have a way to sponsor just FF and not the rest of Mozilla and (2) that quite frequently FireFox suffers because of resource depletion or crazy experiments that benefit Mozilla but harm FF.

To me that speaks volumes about the quality of management, and much as I'm sympathetic to your feelings I wonder what FF would have been like today if Mozilla had not been eternally distracted. I suspect that without FF Mozilla funding would dry up overnight and that alone is something they should respect.
Yes, at least on linux, the os sends a signal (namely SIGSEGV) to the process, which the process may or may not handle. But kill also sends signals (including SIGSEGV if you specify), so the answer to your question is that it's not really either/or but both.

(edit to add: note that it isn't trivial to handle seg fault in particular because unless you do some trickery you return to the same instruction that caused the segfault, and just get another segfault see e.g.: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2663456/how-to-write-a-s... )

> Do note that this article fails to actually identify any threat here.

From the article:

> If you have installed the fake LastPass app, you should immediately remove it and change your password at lastpass.com. It is then advised to perform the arduous task of resetting all passwords stored in your LastPass vault to be safe.

Though one could argue that they have not _definitively_ proven that this app is a threat through testing, it really is not much of a stretch of the imagination that a LastPass-lookalike would be used for phishing. This app is very clearly an illegitimate clone.
Many of us are in situations where we get calls from various people we haven't had contact before (nurse at the child's school, parent's doctor, there's a lot of them) that should be answered immediately; waiting until later to listen to the message could have significant impacts. Some of the calls (injured child) could require immediate contact and, if not answered, could result in other issues.
Yes, people publish studies that never get seen all the time.

The Wikipedia article on it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentience) summarizes the situation well; philosophers use it consistently, but it seems that science-fiction writers got confused and hence the confusion in layperson usage.

> In modern Western philosophy, sentience is the ability to experience sensations. In different Asian religions, the word "sentience" has been used to translate a variety of concepts. In science fiction, the word "sentience" is sometimes used interchangeably with "sapience", "self-awareness", or "consciousness".
I think you're making my point- the industry is biased towards candidates who (and I'm not saying this is you) can solve leetcode mediums/hards in O(log(N)) or better time, and people like me who spend so much time outside of our day jobs immersing ourselves in this stuff- because we genuinely like it more than anything on this Earth- aren't doing our careers any favors.

It's possible I'm an asshole in interviews. I don't think so, but it could be, or something else. I will say though, it seems nobody even LOOKS at that stuff. Nobody asks me about books I've read. Nobody asks me about my Medium articles or code on my GitHub profile... so I have to assume people don't bother and just stick to what they can see on my resume- perhaps to their own detriment.
I think it makes sense to differentiate them, just as you would differentiate them if it was displayed as a graph of "number of hurricanes by category". If you only include the highest category, you miss out on data that might also be useful, for instance whether there have been more category 1 hurricanes compared to category 5.

If it didn't differentiate them and the last category 5 hurricane was 110 days ago but the last category 1 hurricane was 2 days ago, how would you learn about the category 1 hurricane? In your example it would just show hurricane categories 1-5 sequentially all bunched together, so you'd also be duplicating data which wouldn't be that useful.

I know a few people privately unhappy that openai api compatibility is becoming a community standard. Apart from some awkwardness around data.choices.text.response and such unnecessary defensive nesting in the schema, I don't really have complaints.

wonder what pain points people have around the API becoming a standard, and if anyone has taken a crack at any alternative standards that people should consider.
There is a difference between receiving purely textual content, strictly encoded as text, from third parties and consuming arbitrary binary content from arbitrary third parties. The worst I can receive is bile and propaganda.

To this day, image and video codecs remain full of awful bugs. If you are on the receiving end a piece of data whose mime-type starts with "image/" or "video/", there's no telling what kind of malice you are up against. At best you are up against bile and propaganda.

Incidentally, I find it funny that disappearing messages á la Snapchat or whatever copycat the major tech companies have come up with is considered hip. But IRC with its "you were not online, so you missed it" concept is somehow undesirable.
I heard about the +, but don't some sites reject it? Or can't bad actors just strip it? You'd need your own domain with a large amount of unique identifiers for it to work if it became popular.
That's basically how OpenAI is working. They use generated training sets from one model to train the next model (plus other stuff with it).

But the "other stuff" is pretty important. That is what pulls it away from just constantly re-amplifying the bias in the initial training data.
Good taste. Day Of The Locust is goated.

Even still an airbag to the face with that in won't be pretty.
I have been in the same situation as you for many years.
5 years ago I tried a different approach. I created a POC, some slides about the tech and recorded my screen while giving a demo of the software. I sent it out to about 20 people in my network and asked them if they knew someone who was willing to partner up with me for the sales/marketing part. Some people contacted me, 1 was interesting for me.
After weeks of talking he paid me €10k and put 10k in the company. I gave him 50% of the stocks and made him CEO.

GDP = C + G + I + NX

C = Consumption
G = Government spending
I = Investment
NX = Net exports

Which of these exactly is immigration going to boost and how will it sum to $7 trillion? My money is overwhelmingly on G for mass low skill immigration. It’s easy to see how it will increase strain on the public purse.

Needless to say GDP is not necessarily the right metric to optimize for. It’s kind of like BMI in that way. Useful when used properly, not so much when other factors are ignored.

Edit: I’m not interested in rhetoric. I want to see how the numbers add up. Government spending is the likely candidate.

Republicans dumped the border bill because Trump told Senators he wants the issue to run on, so it's not a signal on Ukraine at all.

The bill was a huge concession from Democrats since it didn't include a path to citizenship for DACA and the bulk of the partisan elements of the bill were Republican ideas.
I've read a lot of reviews of the Apple Vision Pro and I don't think I've seen any talk about how the killer app for this could be virtual tours. I've been amazed by the sense of presence I've gotten from 3D as simple as Google Cardboard. A high fidelity 360 visit to a museum, nature park, or city (even if it had to be "on rails") could be amazing.

There's also value--sometimes hard to capture--in getting an external perspective on things. In a sense, they are a new user/customer for internal systems and processes, and can identify pain points that veterans have largely learned to ignore or bypass.
Well, PyPy was not really accepted by Guido and the PSF people. When we ask questions about PyPy to PSF people, they give unfavorable answers but some of those shows they didn't try much at all. So I don't know what kind of drama they have.

I already use https://github.com/lukesampson/psutils which has a sudo.ps1, which I install via scoop (I know that's a mouthful, but I just install scoop and run `scoop install sudo`). I used it from powershell literally just before I opened this article (after copy-pasting a password, I copy some random text laying around in the browser, like "com", then run `sudo restart-service -name 'cbdhsvc*'` to clear the clipboard history -- does not clear the current value). There is a UAC prompt, but it's perfectly adequate for interactive work.
> TLDR: increased immigration will suppress wages for common people while the rich and powerful benefit massively.

That's not in line with the econ literature in this area. There's some suggestion in the literature that under some circumstances it might suppress wages for males who didn't complete high school, but additionally it will have significant positive effects on prices of lots of things that demographic (and others) buy.
Anyone actually tested it with GPT4 api to see how well it performs?
I use Kaios every day and I'm happy it exists but I'd have been even happier if it had just been stock Ubuntu with some phone specific bits thrown in. I actually bought a phone like that but it eventually stopped being serviced. But that was the best phone I ever had, this one is a distant 3rd after all my previous Nokias.
I found Krunner entirely by accident after switching from Windows. PowerToys has a quick launcher that's triggered with Alt+Space. Used the shortcut out of habit after switching to a KDE environment, and was pleasantly surprised to see a similar interface pop up!
That reminds me of a great book
-- "Algorithms to Live By" -- which examines precisely this kind of question. Useful, educational, and entertaining = highly recommended.
It seems natural that those who have power get to proclaim what is
'true' and what is 'false'. Foucault, Wittgenstein, Ayer, Chomsky,
practically everyone who spared it a thought would agree with you.

That's a fundamental misunderstanding around the word "authority"
(which we confuse with power in "western" language)

Firstly, what power says is immaterial with regard to actual truth or
falsehood. That's why people wear T-shirts that say "Science is a
bitch huh?". Certainly, millions may die because a man with a big gun,
a big ego and a small penis swears that black is white, but ain't it
always been so? Tomorrow you get to hold the gun, and suddenly
you're "right".

But most importantly, "disinformation" has nothing to do with truth or
falsehood. It's about intent. The word "intention" is right there.
Otherwise what you have is "misinformation".

What pleases me about the linked definition is that profit and harm
are deemed unacceptable intents. That scoops up every lying
advertiser, every manipulative Big-Tech company, and every lying
domestic politician into the "disinformation" net too, and for me that
makes the world a better place. YMMV.
Do you think folks buying houses don't already look this up? Especially people with children?
I’m pretty sure I could have not done this at an “actual job”

If there's one thing that's gone wrong in my career is that it's been split between the occasional project where I figure out the math for something that is absolutely unique (and not paid) in which I get more done in two months than I'd usually get done in two years vs projects I get paid to work on where the results I get are basically average. I've never been able to split the difference and not for lack of trying really hard. Having the possibility of getting paid for something I was working on for free last year ended up with me not working on it at all.
Smalltalk was named such as Alan Kay (https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/50)

"Aready won position" or "99% win rate" is statistics given by Stockfish (or professional chess player). It is weird to assume that the same statement is true for the trained LLM since we are assessing the LLM itself. If it is using during the game then it is searching, thus the title doesn't reflect the actual work.
How festive
That's why it's good as an option to minimize friction and reduce lock-in to OpenAI's moat.
Now that you mention it, "dry pancakes" would make a great insult. I always love expressions that take the listener a moment to process.

- Was it an insult?

- Why "dry"?

By that insane logic, installing e.g. Edge would justifably prevent use of Chrome.
Is Ollama effectively a dockerized HTTP server that calls llama.cpp directly? For the exception of this newly added OpenAI API ;)
You can render frames directly to a video file (ffmpeg option), which I suspect a lot of beginners or casual users do. You can also use the compositor to turn a prerendered frame sequence into a video file. Lastly I suspect most users prefer video editing in another program such as Resolve. I get the inpression the VSE is nit used much because it occupies a narrow space of “need some basic cutting abilities but no transforms, titles, or effects”. Hopefully someone will continue the work of improving transforms and effects and even add 3 point editing someday
