ATT used to be the premium cellular provider in the US. Guess they got too big and neglected their ops side.
This practice being considered acceptable has been a nightmare - we had OSS libraries add spying later, change their APIs for disabling it, etc. When it's a nested dependency, even worse.

Now and then we run our stack with mitm monitor just to sniff out this dangerous crap. More recently, we are seeing it in ML libraries. For a security vendor to do it is extra bad because they can't claim not understanding why it's bad and often illegal.
Proprietary, inaccessible models can somewhat do that. Locally hosted models can simply be trained on what a specific person looks like by the user, you just need a couple dozen photos. Keyword: LoRA.
(1) is just playing Calvin Ball.

"Correcting" the output to reflect supposedly desired nudges towards some utopian ideal inflates the "value" of the model (and those who promote it) the same as "managing" an economy does by printing money. The model is what the model is and if the result is sufficiently accurate (and without modern Disney reimaginings) for the intended purpose you leave it alone and if it is not then you gather more data and/or do more training.
Youtube is not a big thing for me, but Reddit and Twitter shutting down the respective clients I used for each got me off both platforms permanently. Enshittification can be a good thing.
I mean, that literally does not logically follow. Yes, some bug reports are 20 years old. My point is precisely that this one hasn't become a 20-year-old bug and the way the parent comment read made it sound like it's a glaring, long-lasting issue when it's not.

"A broken workflow is a broken workflow" is just a tautology. I guess you're implying "any kind of broken workflow is bad" but yeah, I don't agree with that especially with regards to free tools. The project literally has weekly commits, devs are open and engaged and... patches are welcome

> and never coughs up answers.

I have fought this my whole life, and only in my adulthood, and self guided learning, have I found the freedom to accept it: I learn better from being given the answer and working backwards. (Even literally reading textbooks “backwards”)

I hope there’s more nuance to this than this quote suggests, because I shudder to imagine a student experiencing what I did but now with a tireless unempathetic agent refusing to just tell a struggling student the answer and instead continually looping on suggestions to “look at it from another angle” in every way but the one “angle” I’m explicitly asking for.

Aligning digital teachers with our broken education system that thinks “answers” are the important part of education is a terrible terrible idea.

That quote should have read ~“the agent has been designed to work tirelessly to do anything to ensure the student understands the material well enough to wield it”
I find it interesting that both houses were designed by engineers to live in. I wonder how similar their solutions for utilties are. Both are being sold when the builders have gotten too old.

My main question is how easy are they to maintain, or do they require the experience of the engineer builders. It is a good sign that they have been going for decades.

There might be a market for selling designs and parts to people who want to build their own.
My solution has been to redirect the YouTube home page to the subscriptions page. This prevents me from watching recommendations.

I also created a new YouTube account (note this doesn’t require you to create a new Google account), and manually added all my subscriptions. This means it has no data on what to recommend me and so the recommendations are terrible and I never even want to click them.

This encourages me to carefully curate my subscriptions, so I only watch high-quality videos from consistently high-quality channels.

I also have nebula but I find increasingly many of the channels are too low-quality for me. I think this is because my standards have been raised and my detection of low quality has improved. I’m now not sure that it’s worth it for me though.

To prove a job-related business necessity for IQ tests, you need a large group of people who have been through IQ tests, and whose performance you can measure. The US military has collected this data and can use that.

Your average company with < 100 employees almost certainly CANNOT have collected this kind of data. And larger companies will have trouble putting large groups through an IQ test with no apparent purpose, and so are unlikely to have ever collected the data needed to attempt to make the case. The practical effect is that such tests are usually illegal to use. Even though we know that they are very often useful.
this was my conclusion after doing a bunch of research. hopefully I'll be able to repair it easily if it does break

They're trailing 5 or so years behind Disney who also placed DEI over producing quality entertainment and their endless stream of flops reflects that. South Park even mocked them about that ("put a black chick in it and make her lame and gay").

Can't wait for Gemini and Google to flop as well since nobody has a use for a heavily biased AI.

Ya, there's definitely a common thread there! A lot of consulting firms have given us very positive feedback from using Danswer. I think the nature of the time-framed projects and frequent scope changes mean that people have to always take in new information and a lot of documented knowledge is lost or at least difficult to find.

A great use case for sure!
Image generators probably should follow your prompt closely and use probable genders and skin tones when unspecified, but I'm fully in support of having a gender and skin tone randomizer checkbox. The ahistorical results are just too interesting.

I completely disagree with you that Go is a C for todays world. Rust/Zig/Carbon is a C for today's world, Go is much closer to the new Java/C#

It's also good to remember Go itself wasn't always risk free though, every new tech has growing pains.

In concept this is maybe desirable; boot anyone off the internet that isn't able to use it safely.

In reality this is a disaster. The elderly and homeless people are already being left behind massively by a society that believes internet access is something everybody everywhere has. This is somewhat fine when the thing they want to access is twitter (and even then, even with the current state of twitter, who are you to judge who should and should not be on it?), but it becomes a Major Problem™ when the thing they want to access is their bank. Any technological solutions you just thought about for this problem are not sufficient when we're talking about "Can everybody continue to live their lives considering we've kinda thrust the internet on them without them asking"
I've seen the opposite. I drastically reduced my smartphone and online time a couple years before Covid, but completely ditched my phone at the end of 2019. It took a few years before I met anyone with my level of dedication, but now I meet them every few months. Most are tech or ex-tech employees, but some are just closer to retirement.
Read books about habit formation and apply the ideas about identifying a trigger to a habit, and altering the response. Most importantly, you can consider identifying and addressing the emotional motivation behind the habit.

I’m a fan of BJ Fogg’s “Tiny Habits” as the book includes memorable summary diagrams, and the author is credible as an active researcher (his work was cited in the lectures of a university course I later took, after reading his book on my own). Alternative books are James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” (which cites BJ Fogg’s work) and Charles Duhigg’s “The Power of Habit.” There is a lot of overlap between the ideas of each book, so you can’t go wrong, though I found that BJ Fogg’s book was the most concise.

The most relevant idea from Fogg’s book is that behaviour is a function of motivation, ability to do a behaviour, and exposure to prompts for the behaviour. From a summary of his book [1]: “B=MAP considers that there are 3 key factors that need to be present for any behaviour (B) to occur: motivation (M), ability (A), and prompts (P). The model proposes that when these three elements are present at any given time, the person is pushed above the ‘threshold’ for action to do the behaviour.”

It sounds like you’ve already thoroughly attempted to change the habit by reducing your ability to engage in the behaviour (via blocking social media). Fogg, in his chapter on changing a habit, strongly recommends addressing the motivational aspect behind the behaviour. You can consider the question: what is it that motivates you to check for emoji reactions? For example, Fogg discusses how a person fixed a sugar consumption habit once she identified that it was a response to grief from losing a loved one, and addressed her grief in a healthier way—this may or may not be relevant to you.

Prompts are also important (via asking yourself: “what prompts the behaviour to check social media?”), as Fogg also recommends using them as a starting point to change your response to a healthier alternative. But he emphasizes the importance of focusing on the motivational aspect, as he wrote that it would not have been enough for the person with the sugar consumption habit to simply replace sugar with a healthier alternative like celery—the motivational aspect was the most important for her case.

yeah, a lot of orgs just don't enable that (or don't have a process to enable it as required, and have difficulty pushing out a notice to do so if the network is down!).

There is no real effect from B vitamins unless there's a deficiency. And the niacin form of b3 can have some negative side effects in high doses. But mostly excess B vitamins are just excreted in urine without doing anything at all.

It helps that stable versions lasted a lot longer back then, and things moved around a lot less.

Nowadays if you need to change a setting, you not only have to contend with major version but what biannual revision of windows you are using, and hope that someone at Microsoft hasn't decided to move that option in an update.
As far as I know they are live. People are using the share codes for renting, etc. On /r/ukvisa I've seen a few stories already.
You dont even need to take it that far. Leave anything with sugars out for a few days and you'll get fermentation. I'd bet that humans developed intentional alcohol production before language. Leave foraged fruit in a depression in a rock and you'll have wine in a few weeks.

A fermentation process occurs deep within the meat tissue. The outside parts are usually moldy but not rotten if done correctly.
The physical hyperactivity is often a pretty minor symptom of ADHD, bigger issues for many kids are things like inability to regulate emotions, e.g. causing violent outbursts over small things, or inability to focus, e.g. not able to do school work.

The physical hyperactivity, like other ADHD symptoms, is a lack of executive control- the person cannot choose to stop moving even though they want to, or feel they should. This is the part that is often hard for non-ADHD people to understand: lack of executive control is an inability to direct our own activity with will or intention. We know what we should do and want to do, but cannot make it happen. So we can, e.g. be really tired, and really want to stop moving, but be unable to do so. Sometimes, with enough will and focus, we can for a short time, but it takes 100x the effort it would take someone else, and can't be sustained for long.

As a person with ADHD, and a father of a kid with ADHD, I can tell you that what you are asking isn't true, at least in our case. It's not about having never-ending energy, but about not being able to limit movement. My kid is constantly moving, even when extremely tired. They will fall out of chairs, and even thrash hard in the bed while trying to fall asleep. We are active outdoors people, and hiking all day long with a heavy load even makes zero difference. In fact, being tired seems to make the executive control worse, and therefore the hyperactivity worse. Which can be a downward spiral, because then you get increasingly tired, and are unable to physically relax, causing even more tiredness. For my kid, peak hyperactivity for the day is often the moments before falling asleep!

That said- lesser amounts of exercise that are enough to be calming, but not tiring, are often very helpful. A short walk, etc. can really help.
In all the years since Asilomar we've only got one known instance of someone doing human germline genetic modifications.
ASML machines can presumably be rendered largely worthless remotely through firmware (or by being forced to operate out of design spec for a while, causing physical damage), and I have to assume TSMC/Taiwan/US have that stuff pre-rigged (physically or software), too.

It passed 7 - 2. Wasn't even close. This is not surprising or controversial for Alabama.

From [1]:
Alabama’s Amendment 2, which passed with 61% of votes, amends the state’s Constitution “to declare and otherwise affirm that it is the public policy of the state to recognize and support the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children … and to provide that the constitution of this state does not protect the right to abortion or require the funding of abortion.”

From [2]:
Mitchell said the court had previously ruled that fetuses killed while a woman is pregnant are covered under Alabama's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act and nothing excludes "extrauterine children from the Act's coverage."

I wonder if using a trie instead of a hash would have provided a performance win.

if you're parsing the file row by row, iterating over the trie as you process each character (as they argue to calculate the int value) (so what you have to do to hash it anyways), should be similar. What you'd end up in is micro-architectual issues on cache performance.

Fahrenheit gets a bad rap.

Oh my, you just saved so much of my time! I had no idea you could control so much. YouTube is so clean now! Thank you.
Agree w/ other comment you need to focus on positive replacement rather than negative enforcement. This is how I'm viewing my use of social media now: I'm basically just lonely. Older and in a new city, few friends and even rarer social contact, outside of (healthy) family life. Social media is my only connection to professionals and other like minded people outside of work, and if I'm not getting much social benefit at work, that's all there is.

So goal is not to eliminate social media, but to recognize why I'm doing it, and look for real-world social (or other constructive) ways of pushing it out.
Maybe the "no" is "no" to a specific accelerated pace. Social technology (assuming it involves human minds) likely has a hard cap on how fast it can move.

So the "no" can be "not yet", and I believe it can materially affect outcomes.

I think we very often say "not yet". It's one of the main things policy does, even if it disguises itself as "no, never"
The "thing being discussed" is the efficacy of privacy laws. They work well, and the fact that you haven't been put on trial for your 'crimes' yet is tacit evidence.

In the real world, both corporations and governments are your enemy. You're mistakenly looking at it as a relativist comparison; the people influencing your life through advertising work with the people who put you in jail. They aggregate and sell data to Palantir which is used by dozens of well-meaning intelligence agencies to scrutinize their citizens. They threaten Apple and Google unless they turn over personally-identifying data and account details. Some of them even demand that corporate data is stored on state-owned servers.

So, what you actually want is to use the power of the "putting me in jail" people against your oppressors. If the law says that companies can't collect data unconditionally, then neither the corporation or the state can justly implicate you.

As someone who has spent thousands of dollars on the OpenAI API I’m not even bothering with Gemini stuff anymore. It seems to spend more time telling me what it REFUSES to do than actually doing the thing. It’s not worth the trouble.

They’re late and the product is worse, and useless in some cases. Not a great look.
That's _amazing_.

I imagine this doesn't look impressive to anyone unfamiliar with the scene, but this was absolutely impossible with any of the older models. Though, I still want to know if it reliabily does this--so many other things are left to chance, if I need to also hit a one-in-ten chance of the composition being right, it still might not be very useful.

all I know is that it doesn't take even one microsecond to compare 32 bytes - it takes nanoseconds. and yes, I can't think of a way to meaningfully measure that delta over a real network, where every packet passes through dozens of switches and routers, each one of which introduces enough entropy to completely drown out any attempt to measure things with such precision.

but more importantly, what kind of system allows itself to be pounded with thousands or millions of requests to the authentication endpoint?

To be fair that last part was probably always true. The future belongs to the next generation, and not everyone values having kids. Probably why most major faiths encourage having kids. The people who were too smart to have kids died out along with their ideas. It's like survival of the fittest, but with ideas. I have a theory that long in our past we've went through periods of secularization like our current modern age. It's just a phase that dies out when the people who believe it do.
A high performance team is a chaotic system. You can’t remove a piece of it with predictable results. Remove a piece and the whole system may fall apart.

To think the layoffs had no effect on the quality of output from the system seems very naive.
