> Many people are not capable of setting up authenticator apps, not everyone is a "techy" and not everyone is smart.

That might be true but on the other hand most companies using Teams etc. will be introducing 2FA with the MS Authenticator App. Techie or not, you need to install an app and scan a QR code.

As a black guy, I fail to see the problem.

I would honestly have a problem if what I read in the Stratechery newsletter were true (definitely not a right wing publication) that even when you explicitly tell it to draw a white guy it will refuse.

As a developer for over 30 years. I am use to being very explicit about what I want a computer to do. I’m more frustrated when because of “safety” LLMs refuse to do what I tell them.

The most recent example is that ChatGPT refused to give me overly negative example sentences that I wanted to use to test a sentiment analysis feature I was putting together
Photoshop also lowers that barrier of entry compared to pen and pencil. Paper also lowers the barrier compared to oil canvas.

Affordable drawing classes and YouTube drawing tutorials lower the barrier of entry as well.

Why on earth would manufacturers of pencils, papers, drawing classes, and drawing software feel responsible for censoring the result of combining their tool with the brain of their customer?

A sharp kitchen knife significantly lowers the barrier of entry to murder someone. Many murders are committed everyday using a kitchen knife. Should kitchen knife manufacturers blog about this every week?

> It's recognizing and mitigating systemic bias, where there is currently a massive bias for whiteness, maleness, heterosexuality, etc.

Where is this “systemic bias” people keep crying about? I don’t see it in ads, in hiring policies, in college admission policies, etc.

In fact, I see the opposite: the group you mentioned is vilified and artificially held back across the board because it is fashionable. Fighting racism with a different kind of racism makes absolutely no sense.

The more we deviate from a meritocracy the more we all lose.
Out of curiosity I had Stable Diffusion XL generate ten images off the prompt "picture of a nurse".

All ten were female, eight of them Caucasian.

Is your concern about the percentage - if not 80%, what should it be?

Is your concern about the sex of the nurse - how many male nurses would be optimal?

By the way, they were all smiling, demonstrating excellent dental health. Should individuals with bad teeth be represented or, by some statistic, over represented ?
The whole point of this discussion is various counterexamples where Gemini did "just randomize the gender, age, race" and kept generating female popes, African nazis, Asian vikings etc even when explicitly prompted to do the white male version. Not all contexts are or should be diverse by default.
"If seems like this drug should have been placed on the "high risk - don't take while trying to conceive" lists from the outset. And from what I can tell, it's only on that list in the US when being prescribed for migraine control (but not seizure control)."

That's because they're doing the risk profile. Seizures pose a risk to the fetus too while migrains do not. So they aren't doing it based solely on risk, but on the overall risk profile including "rewards" or reduction in other risks.

The problem is that it can reinforce harmful stereotypes.

If I ask an image of a great scientist, it will probably show a white man based on past data and not current potential.

If I ask for a criminal, or a bad driver, it might take a hint in statistical data and reinforce a stereotype in a place where reinforcing it could do more harm than good (like a children book).

Like the person you're replying to, it's not an easy problem, even if in this case Google's attempt is plain absurd. Nothing tells us that a statistical average in the training data is the best representation of a concept

> Way to blame the printing press for the actions of religious extremists.

I don't see GP blaming the printing press for that, they're merely pointing out that one enabled the other, which is absolutely true. I'm damn near a free speech absolutist, and I think the heavy "safety" push by AI is well-meaning but will have unintended consequences that cause more harm than they are meant to prevent, but it seems obvious to me that they can be used much the same as printing presses were by the extremists.

Are you imagining these plastics are to be used on staple grains or grasslands? I can't imagine these used on other than rather specialized high value crops, and those won't take up much of the land under agriculture.
I don’t think this problem is news to anyone anymore.

But what I’ve still yet to hear anyone share are good solutions?

The situation with Google’s search results is basically identical to the one with Amazon and cheap crappy products. In both cases people seem to have just given up.
The risks of hormonal birth control are widely known. They are clearly stated in the package insert, and a lot of doctors will discuss them with you and offer alternatives if you're worried about it.

But indeed, for a lot of women a pregnancy would be far riskier than the side effects of birth control.
That sounds like a correlation/causation mixup to me. The way economists define "productivity" is in part based on the growth of wealth. Poor countries are not poor because they have low productivity: they have low productivity because they are poor.

Google probably would have gotten a better response to this AI if they only inserted the "make it diverse" prompt clause in a random subset of images. If, say, 10% of nazi images returned a different ethnicity people might just call it a funny AI quirk, and at the same time it would guarantee a minimum level of diversity. And then write some PR like "all training data is affected by systemic racism so we tweaked it a bit and you can always specify what you want".

But this intransparent heavy-handed approach is just absurd and doesn't look good from any angle.

Code search is something we have in our sights in the next couple months. Currently the GitHub connector pulls in PRs and Issues but not the whole code base. We wanted to have the best RAG pipeline so we deep dived on that. Code search uses a combination of graph based traversals and a different type of embedding so it's a separate effort, but we will definitely build it out since it's immensely useful to engineering teams!

Surely the developers must have tested their product before public release. Well...unless, and more likely, that Google anticipated the public response and decided to proceed anyway. I wish I was a fly on the wall during that discussion.
Even editor like photoimpact which appears about 20 years ago works almost the same way about the draw layer. You just draw anywhere on the whole canvas, that's it.

And if you want something that has specific size and resizable and can be placed out of canvas. Use object instead.

Why would gimp even resist to make draw layer that have specific size at first place?
But why?

Mostly ideological I would guess. The sorts of people the were/are running the FSF didn't want to involve themselves with the sort of 'dirty' compromises needed to raise significant funds and end up beholden to large, almost certainly corporate, donors.

Dang that's a bad look for them. Hopefully they can provide a thoughtful and honest postmortem.
FCC rules around radio emissions used to be tougher, so aluminum was popular in early home computers. I'm not sure exactly when the rules changed, but seems like sometime in the last 1970s or early 1980s. then it took time for manufactures to realize plastic was enough cheaper as to be worth learning how to do.
True, though notably the Chernobyl 'firefighters' were picking up hot chunks of core and fuel from the reactor building roof, and reported at most feeling tired at the time. They did die shortly afterwards, but that was weeks to a month after.

The system still has to be designed with defaults because otherwise using it would be too tedious. How much specificity is needed before anything can be rendered is a product design decision.

People are complaining about and laughing at poor defaults.
There's some truth to that. It's a lot more straightforward to have kids memorize the names of Kings and the dates of long-ago battles than to delve into colonial policies of the British Empire or how the US has justified its various wars.

I’m seeing an outage reported on this page.
Arrow Algo – Algorithmic Trading Made Simple
To everyone trying to speculate on the root cause, I haven't seen enough information in any of the comments to really draw any conclusions. Having worked on several nationwide cellular issues in Canada when I worked in telecom, we saw nationwide impacts based on any number of causes.

- A new route injected in the network caused the routing engines on a type of cellular specific equipment to crash nationwide. This took down internet access only from cell devices nationwide. But most people didn't notice because it happened at 2AM maintenance window and was fortunately discovered and reversed before business hours why the routing engine was in a crash loop.

- A tech plugged in some new routers, and the existing core routers crashed and rebooted. While the news worthy impact was just a regional outage for something like 20 minutes, we discovered bugs and side effects from the Pacific to Atlantic coasts over the next 12 hours. So when you say you're impacted at location x, that data point could be everyone is down in the area, many people are having issues, or only one or two people have issues spilled over to some other region. This is why seeing it does or doesn't work in location x is limited value, as almost every outage I've investigated could result in some people still having service for various reasons. The question is in a particular area is it 100% impact, 50% impact, or 0.001% impact.

- A messaging relay ran into it's configured rate limit. Retries in the protocol increased the messaging rate, so we effectively had a congestion collapse in that particular protocol. Because this was a congestion issue on passing state around, there were nationwide impacts, but you still had x% chance of completing your message flows and getting service.

And then there was the famous Rogers outage where I don't remember them admitting to the full root cause. It's speculated that they did an upgrade on change on their routing network, which also had the side effect of the problem booting all the technicians from the network. Then recovery was difficult because the issue took out the nationwide network and broke the ability for employees to coordinate (you know because they use the same network as all the customers who also can't get service). All the CRTC filings I reviewed had all the useful information redacted though, so there isn't much we can learn from it.

So it's fun to speculate, but here's hoping at the end of the day ATT is more transparent then we are in Canada, so the rest of the industry can learn from the experience.
> Well, SMEE is rumored to have 28 nm already

FWIW, that's about where Intel was 14-15 years ago. That's a reasonable process for lots of logic chips, but not for modern mobile devices or datacenter machine learning engines.
A reliable partner does not close accounts without any kind of recourse. Denying that under the guise of fraud prevention is just security through obscurity. I hope these practices become illegal sooner rather than later. Never before have I been treated as a criminal as much for trying to do legitimate business, and it’s quite the experience.
I mean, the Ivies have a pretty darn good track record of 'results' too.

Where do you think are places with better 'results'?

Not trolling here, I am genuinely curious as to your metric and the places/things that fit it.
>The LSTM architecture does permit a correct, 'general' solution to exist, and the authors show that the general solution is an optimum when using a minimum-description-length error function. The MDL error function is effectively entropy(weights) + relative entropy(training data | model).

>The researcher's problem is that entropy(weights) is not well-defined.

I never thought I would say this, but it sounds like a job for Bayesian neural nets. The prior or posterior entropy of the weights should be well-defined in that setting.
Not to be overly cynical, but this seems like it's the likely outcome in the medium-term.

Billions of dollars worth of data and manhours could only be justified for something that could turn a profit, and the obvious way an advertising company like Google could make money off a prompt handler like this would be "sponsored" prompts.

Yes, but even that isn’t simple, I think. They’d not want to land on top of it, so they’d have to push it out from the lander or have it propel itself away from the lander. If they push it out and it doesn’t have a way to stabilize itself, keeping the lens pointing upwards then will require tight control over that push.

So, I guessed (see below) you’d need power to make the sat orient itself.

However, I googled a bit more, and found this: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/space/2024/02/21/embry-riddl..., which says:

“EagleCam will be spring ejected from the Nova-C class lander Odysseus about 30 meters above the lunar surface during the final descent. It will take three images a second from each of its three cameras (a total of nine images a second), capturing its six-second freefall to the surface and Odysseus’ descent and soft landing. About an hour after landing, our team will receive the five images of our choosing. During descent, Dr. Henderson and I will be timing events in landing sequence to match to image numbers to choose the first five images we bring back to Earth. Once we have those images, I will post them directly to @eraueaglecam on Instagram. Shortly after that, they will also be available on @spacetechnologieslab on Instagram and @SpaceTechLab on X (formerly Twitter).”

So, it isn’t a 360 camera, and they’re making 50-ish images and hoping for the best. Doesn’t look like the sat has rockets or that they’re trying to make it possible to make more photos after impact on the moon.

If my guesses/intuition is right we won’t see the actual touchdown (still cool to have anything, of course), but corrections welcome.

I wonder how much this was a "thing unexpectedly named after a person" vs. a case of nominative determinism.

As a result of this, memorization is also what does well on standardized testing, and guess what’s prioritized above all else in the modern US school system? Test scores. Little else matters to schools so long as students are getting good enough test scores.

I don't think the problem is watching synthetic images. The problem is generating them based off actual people and sharing them on the internet in a way that the people watching can't tell the difference anymore. This was already somewhat of a problem with Photoshop and once everyone with zero skills can do it in seconds and with far better quality, it will become a nightmare.
