> it'd be like visiting your university after graduating: you remember it but you can never go back

You are quite literally back there though. And you could probably do another master if you wanted. Your friends are gone but the university is still there.

You can't go back to old Facebook even if you wanted.
Yeah, I assume the people working on it have convinced themselves that the growing pile of configuration debt Will someday be wiped away by both engineering improvement and/or financial change.

Another reference that comes to mind is a golem from Terry Peatchett's Feat of Clay, which was also stuffed with many partially conflicting and broad directives.
It would never work because of adoption and whatnot, but using a crypto system like ENS and requiring users to go through a special browser might make that a bit more in-universe. Or maybe a toggle in the browser to turn on ENS and disable DNS.

The point being - you should know when you want to access certain services so you switch on this mode, not allowing normal DNS name jacking or the like.

Sorta like privacy mode but for dapps/"web3"

There are so many glitches with that screen I’m not sure which one you’re talking about.

I mean sometimes my keyboard doesn’t even show up on the login screen on iOS.

The Messages one where the share tray share to iMessage and then can’t send is infuriating.

And once in a blue moon desktop Messages glitches where typing on the keyboard is actually changing the text in the conversant’s most recent chat bubble. I have NEVER seen anything like it.

They are in denial that their OS frameworks are a disaster, and that they should have adopted a safer, managed more productive SDK and language for iOS UI apps.

Three real paths I'd evaluate

0) Tools: Puppeteer and Playwright are the cleanest way I've found to get proper JS page rendering and behavior control. Node is well suited for this but some prefer python.. Since you sound concerned with blocks I'm guessing plain HTML scrapers like BeautifulSoup or Cheerio would be insufficient but they're more robust in terms of sheer volume and overhead of course.

1) if you have money the fingerprint avoiding systems like GoLogin are exceptionally good at avoiding detection. But they're not cheap so you would need to have a reasonable budget to use them well. I've had extremely high success with GoLogin myself and if budget wasn't a concern I'd just default to that.

2) less expensively you can use headless Chrome (Browserless.io has an excellent docker image for this) and then proxy using 4g/5g proxies. You usually pay by kb so you'd want to be savvy about blocking images etc to manage costs but with a good proxy and decent tuning this also takes you pretty far except some of the more onerous services like Cloudflare and Datadome. There are also v good captcha solving services that seamlessly integrate. I've had very good results with simple proxying this way and well crafted settings in Browserless like making sure stealth plug-ins used and user agent is properly done etc.

3) most inexpensive you can simply use Playwright on Browserless (Chrome Headless) and a captcha service with stealth plug-ins and running from a decent quality IP. I'm careful to check things like viewport size, user agent, ghost cursor etc.

Data center IPs usually raise flags and even the server should be selected to not have vpn ports or http ports open as those are also antibot signals among others.

--

I do #3 at a fairly decent volume (<1m page views per day) across a few dozen machines (each with a half dozen IP addresses and separate VLANs for each container) to scrape from some private sites and so long as I stay under a sane rate limit I've had years of success on many sites that are fairly strict about blocking browsers.

In all cases I parse the key parts of the page and dump it into mongo for async processing of the data and to allow fixes when sites change. You need to keep an eye on your ETL pipeline and alert when something breaks - I expect once a quarter I have to fix a selector change or something trivial as sites change.

This is also a good substack evaluating the various paid options for the toughest sites. https://substack.thewebscraping.club

In some way, I'd be grateful if they screwed up ChatGPT (even though I really like to use it). The best way to be sure that no corporation can mess with one of your most important work tools is to host it yourself, and correct for the shortcomings of the likely smaller models by finetuning/RAG'ing/[whatever cool techniques exist out there and are still to come] it to your liking. And I think having a community around open source models for what promises to be a very important class of tech is an important safeguard against SciFi dystopias where we depend on ad-riddled products by a few megacorps. As long as ChatGPT is the best product out there that I'll never match, there's simply little reason to do so. If they continue to mess it up, that might give lazy bums like me the kick they need to get started.
I apparently can't edit the submission.

It's interesting to see this the world fastest counter (at 600+ GHz) is implemented in this technology.
I get your point. I am reflecting on it, cause in a way it tends to be stronger than mine, specialty discussing about written work (books or in the example of the article, NYT articles)

But what about the images. The italian plumber who looks very much like SuperMario mentioned in the article. How would a judge not punish a company selling visual representations of a character that is copyright owned by someone else?
I think the remark is more about these sort of rhetorical tactics which permeate every topic. It is a fair remark.

The Home Secretary via the police used their anti protest laws to remove the Republican protests, in like with what the majority of the country (or at least the majority of the supporters of the current government) wanted.

To be honest as grim as this is, judging by how little resistance there currently is to adopt new technologies and services regardless of privacy concerns, the majority of people most likely won't be forced at all..
I read that thread and some users argue it's because how (obviously) prompt was provided:

*ALL* current public proof of concepts for AI are a dead end. They are strictly past information ingest machines. Until 'Generative' solution thinking finally stops chasing the tail of history and believing that what it has ingested from then to now is just as simple as adding more 9's... and the solution will manifest -- is ignoring that without the ability to also quantify stimuli in every definition - of the 'present' - it's nothing but a well dressed toy. We can't even define 'present' and yet we think a farm of GPU's will magically solve singularity. If anything, this is infinitely short sighted.
There isn’t a more accurate description of “corporate agile” than exactly this. It’s a joke, and the joke’s on us.

This perhaps will do much more than the CHIPS act to remove the geopolitical risk associated with TSMC/Taiwan. A rational US administration would encourage this kind of development rather than stubbornly try to revive the sector domestically.

People make this argument as though it's super easy to access stuff marked "private" in a code base--maybe this is kind of true in Python but it really isn't in JVM languages or Go--and as though it's impossible to write tightly coupled microservices. The problem generally isn't reaching into internal workings or coupling, the problem is that fixing it requires you to consider the dozens of microservices that depend on your old interface that you have no authority to update or facility to even discover. In a monolith you run a coverage tool. In microservices you hope you're doing your trace IDs/logging right, that all services using your service used it in the window you were checking, and you start having a bunch of meetings with the teams that control those services to coordinate the update. That's not what I think of when I think of modularity, and in practice what happens is your team forks a new version and hopes the old one eventually dies or that no one cares how many legacy microservices are running.

Signal does not know who you correspond with. The only information they keep is the account creation timestamp, and the date that the account last connected to the Signal service.

You may have confused this information with WhatsApp which indeed keeps a lot of metadata on each user.

This is so annoying. If I wanna know if the local library has a child story hour or whatever I need Facebook.

But believe it or not, I managed to make them add a Facebook group feed to their homesite so I don't need Facebook!

But many smaller less ambitious events from other actors are just announced on Facebook. And the only way I get to know is via my wife.

If you just want to buy crypto currencies and check again in a few years, the procedure is much simpler:

1. Make a paper wallet, laminate it, put it in a safe location or maybe two

2. Use any exchange and send the coins to the wallet. Never leave any coins on the exchange

When you want to get them out again, this is the safest approach:

1. Boot Tails from USB

2. Enter your private key in Electrum (it's preinstalled in Tails)

3. Send to exchange and convert to fiat

If you want to do daytrading it's a whole other story
I should've aimed for more clarity in my original comment -- the first link is to locally attached storage. The second is network attached storage (what the GP was likely referring to, but not what is described in the article).

Persistent Disk is not backed by single devices (even for a single NVMe attachment), but by multiple redundant copies spread across power and network failure domains. Those volumes will survive the failure of the VM to which they are attached as well as the failure of any individual volume or host.
kommt hin. I worked both as professional architect and programmer.

Thanksfully, I could tame my SW clients, but heard enough stories of totally incapable PM's who accept such clients. But we also had similar "Bauherren", esp. in politics. German politicians are famous for demanding the "eierlegendewollmilchsau" in construction.

I even had specialized jobs to deal with such clients, such as e.g. in stage design. There was a whole SW VR project to be able to show the client his absurdities beforehand.
Sure it does, it's riding the border of a phase change between gas and liquid. It's in a super compressed equilibrium so it's going to behave similarly to an ideal gas.

On the flip side, SMS fraud is almost nonexistent from German mobile numbers, which is why scammers just send from other countries to German mobile phone owners. Mostly from France.
Speaking for myself, and except for just being curious, it's mostly for similar reasons as to why you'd want to read, for example, CLRS, even though you'll probably never implement an algorithm like that in a real production environment yourself. It's not so much about learning how, but rather why, because it'll help you answer your why's in the future (not that the how can't also be important, of course).
Bullshit. Russia has no democracy, even in the minds of its citizens, not to say in the government. It never had and it may never have democracy. At least, until Russia exists in its current shape of form.

My bet is that they have a chance for democracy only when Russia becomes a set of little independent states. As Russia in a nutshell, is just a Muscovy that occupied other sovereign states. It was exactly like they’re trying it with Ukraine currently, again. Again, as the previous one was in 1918, when Russia ‘incorporated’ other states, what we know as ussr.

Eh it’s been working for me all night, but obviously love these examples. God you can just imagine Gary Marcus jumping out of his chair with joy when he first got wind of this — he’s the perfect character to turn “app has bug” into “there’s a rampant idiotic AI and it’s coming for YOU”

Real talk, it’s hard to separate openai the AGI-builders from openai the chatbot service providers, but the latter clearly is choosing to move fast and break things. I mean half the bing integrations are broken out of the gate…
If you want to go the stochastic parrot route (which i dont fully biy) then because statistically speaking a request paired with please is more likely to be met, then the same is true for requests passed to a LLM. They really do tend to respond better when you use your manners.
> I still find it pretty wild that they would parameterize it by speaking to it so plainly

Not my area of expertise, but they probably fine tuned it so that it can be parametrized this way.

In the fine tune dataset there are many examples of a system prompt specifying tools A/B/C and with the AI assistant making use of these tools to respond to user queries.

Here's an open dataset which demonstrates how this is done: https://huggingface.co/datasets/togethercomputer/glaive-func.... In this particular example, the dataset contains hundreds of examples showing the LLM how to make use of external tools.

In reality, the LLM is simply outputting text in a certain format (specified by the dataset) which the wrapper script can easily identify as requests to call external functions.
They avoid spawning new processes.
The "open source" LLMs are already good enough for simple tasks GPT-3.5 was used for. I see no reason why they can't catch up with GPT-4 one day.
That's how prompt injection usually works, isn't it?
The benefit should be completely obvious. Having a single integrated system is always going to be more reliable than running 2 separate machines that need to cooperate. Otherwise every issue needs to be isolated to the TV, the streaming device, or the connection between the two.

Also hand waving about "new codecs" doesn't hold any weight. A Roku/Fire/Google TV is a Linux computer with hardware acceleration for all modern codecs. By the time AV1/VP9/H265 are being replaced in the 2030s, you're going to need a new TV anyway to support 8K and whatever other features are de rigueur then. Same goes for audio codecs and Wifi support.

The proof is in the pudding: they haven’t been able to replicate the process.

ASML tools are step 432 of 1234. There’s a whole fab built around it and a whole supplier ecosystem.

They will eventually succeed. That is obvious. High end chips have become existential in the modern world, especially now with AI, but have already been before that. When will they succeed is an open question as stealing the blueprint is absolutely not enough.

I can see that! But the Founders felt differently, and they're the ones who wrote the Bill of Rights that, for the most part, still reigns supreme. Unless you've got a workaround that I'm not thinking of (IAAL, FWIW), there's not much point dwelling on the question of whether religion is a type of activism. As I said above: even if it is, it's constitutionally protected.
I'm afraid they will eventually be mainstream, because we definitely need more e-wastes for vanity purpose…

If you want to make 10$ you need to sell it for 14.29$ because the 30% is taken from the total. (30% of 14.29 = 4.29).

I've done this before with no real issues, and if I knew the charges were rapidly exploding I'd have halted the script immediately - but instead it ran for 2 hours and the first notice I got was the CC charge.
