in a strange twist, screening job application paperwork is exactly a major use-case for AI now, and actual job interviews using AI (not a person) are increasing. Labor-type jobs, including skilled labor, seem to be exactly a target for capital-backed AI companies.

Meanwhile, "increased job listings" inevitably recalls the case of Zillow. While Zillow executives were amassing real estate portfolios and enabling others to do so, on a large scale using their own platform, there was a very well-publicized job advertisement for "data scientists" .. in the new field at the time, it was exciting to a lot of people... a LOT of people.. Zillow hired a small handful of data scientists, for a total amount of money that was almost nothing compared to the asset portfolios being bandied about internally.. and those data scientists were.. let go? Where is Zillow now?

It is almost certain that the real estate and their new owners were not "fired". It appears to be a morality play story about this whole AI publicity push... massive capital behind the scenes, allocated however it is allocated.. with publicity reserved for "job creation" in the single digits, and like facial recognition, used more against "job seekers" than for the few that get employed.
>the speed of light isn't changing

Oh but the speed of the signal does depend quite a lot on the transmission medium. In Cat-6 signals travel 2/3c. Can't find a quick reference for on-die or motherboard kinds of interconnects. If you had optical interconnects traveling through vacuum in a silicon chip, that's a full 50% faster (as in lower travel time for one bit over a distance) than Most copper ethernet.

They barely deflect, strain gauges measure the deflection and trigger the haptic part. When off, it does feel pretty solid. When on, the effect is very convincing, you would never know it's not a button without being told. I had a coworker once that was ready to open up his turned-off macbook because he had been near sand recently and was convinced sand must be trapped inside the trackpad because it "didn't depress".
In elementary school I read a kids' novel, called My Trip to Alpha I, that had precisely this as a McGuffin. The main character travels to visit his aunt and uncle by "Voya-Code", in which his consciousness is transmitted to an android body on the destination planet.

Is it just that, or does it perhaps protect also other rights? Is the economic prosperity the only reason one might prefer living in Germany over Russia?
graph databases win on actual data layouts in disk blocks. trying to make relational databases ‘understand’ graphs really happens only at the query language layer. the data on disk remains optimized for relational queries. i’m not aware of any relational database shipping a storage engine optimized for graphs. if you know any, please share. thanks :)
The disingenuous take is that somehow (e.g. common carrier, “public square,” other inscrutable nonsense) you have the right to publish things on someone else’s website. where does this idea — that just because some people are allowed to post some things, you must be allowed to post anything — come from?

Is this an equity argument? Is it an anti capitalism argument? An attack on property rights? Mere bellyaching? Aside from the false assumption that the platforms — and not the infrastructure — are common carriers, I can’t figure out why this became a thing.
car dealers, like a lot of businesses, don't really need a full blown 'AI powered' chatbot - they have a limited amount of things that they can or want to answer - a chatbot that follows a script, with plenty of branching is all they really need - and will likely keep them out of trouble.

I developed a chatbot for a medical company for patients to use - it absolutely cannot ever be allowed to just come up with things on its own - every single question that might be asked of it, needs a set of one or more known responses. Anything that can be pre-scripted, needs to be answered by a real person - with training, and likely also a script for what they are allowed to say.

I think so many companies are going to just start rolling out GPT-like chatbots, they are going to end up with a lot of lawsuits when it gives bad advice.
Old Outlook
I hear you. I canceled our Dyn contract when they were acquired and let them know why. Unfortunately it isn’t always so easy to switch.
This deserves wider distribution. It needs saying constantly. Overattribution is joining my discourse on this. All the language chosen by ai proponents favours belief on a mind. Choice, says, infers, states, hallucinated, thinks.. these are crap words to use describing the systems behaviour of an llm or gpt.
It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is for people to tell an invaded nation, with countless atrocities commited against them, to just give up and move on.
I have a lot of experience working with both families of models. If you use an ensemble of 10 NNs, they outperform well-optimized tree-based models such as XGBoost & RFs.

I had watched the Les Fermiers series earlier (in French, with subtitles in English, IIRC), couldn't find it on a quick search now, but found the above condensed version.
Yeah, I'm actually leaning toward giving it a try since we're on Bitbucket already. Might do a limited trial while we still have Pivotal access so we only have to do a full migration once.
> As in, the thing that tried to implement Linux syscall interfaces on top of the Windows kernel?

It's really funny, NT was supposed to be great at three things:

- be easily ported to different hardware architectures, which then never actually became relevant (and nowadays macOS is the best example for actual architecture migrations!)

- have a much more sophisticated and elaborate security model than those filthy unices (and now we're getting sudo on Windows, because 30 years later, it's still too complicated for anyone to use as intended)

- allow fluid switching between different userlands, be it win32, OS/2 (RIP), Unix (RIP), and anything else you could want in the future! (except no, you're getting VMs now)
Very nice article. I'll be interested to hear where you end up, with eglot or lsp-mode.

A quibble (based on my knowledge of Common Lisp, I'm not sure if it applies exactly the same way to Clojure):

"Language server has to do all of that statically, using their own parsers, tracking of variables, modules, and so on."

There's no reason an LSP server can't be run inside the Lisp image and integrate with its internal xref data. In fact, to do it any other way has serious problems due to Lisp's procedural macros making static analysis impossible.

Taking a quick look around, I see this is how the alive-lsp server works. You load it into your image and run (alive/server::start :port 8006)

It seems like this would address some of your complaints about the lack of fallback when looking for xrefs, because fallback wouldn't be necessary.
Should worry about domestic adversaries too, there are plenty of them (hi Microsoft)
thanks, you made me realize I know nothing about anything
I feel you. In a similar experience now.

Valuation (I’m told) depends on ARR. Company not really set up to generate meaningful ARR from its core business. I keep hearing “it will get better” but as far as I see, the problem is squarely at the top and some specific deputies. So, why do I keep hearing that?

It sounds like very poorly messaged religion some days.
Maybe now some of our European friends will start pulling their weight with respect to funding NATO.
I don't agree with your comment. Unpreparedness is one thing, but you paint a picture of weakness and reliance. Why are there no Dutch F-35s or French warships in Ukraine? Where are the British special forces? Let alone the non-NATO countries of Switzerland Austria, Cyprus, Ireland, Malta, and Sweden. Some NATO members have huge militaries, albeit with many NATO commitments, i.e. not even close to being utilized to their full potential. Others like Ireland have enough resources to fund those of close allies. Think of all those taxes paid over decades into defense. Together we could have stealth bombers in Moscow within minutes and helicopters and troops soon after. Wagner could have done it by themselves had they had the self-confidence. But no one is doing anything at all, simply because Putin has threatened to nuke us all.

Since you mention the touchpad being too small, are you trying to drag and drop with one finger or multiple?

What I always just do is click with my thumb and move around with my other fingers. As long as my thumb stays down it stays selected. Then just a few quick swipes with my finger gets whatever it is I am selecting where I want to go.

Same works for windows and anything you click and drag. Admittedly there is a quirk here that I have noticed, if for some reason I click and try to drag with the same finger, I then can't switch to dragging around with a different finger.

But personally I treat my thumb just resting no the track pad as my click finger and move/gesture with my other fingers.
> wants it to be a kind of media center only

Again, to accomplish this goal, one has to:

- Build a credible software stack - from UI kits to audio and video codecs

- Convince the streaming companies to build one more flavor of their apps (in addition to Android/FTV, AppleTV, Roku, and a bunch of SmartTV platforms)

- Build ad stack and also convince major ad platforms to build their respective ad SDKs for the new platform (believe me, even for established platforms this takes years)

And all of this - to accomplish precisely what??? To wean away from Android? Why? There are no licensing issues, Amazon has grown a tremendous expertise in Android, which underlies most of its devices. Why throw all of this away???

Unlike Amazon, Samsung is much more tethered to Google, because they cannot afford to diverge in Android experience for the phones. They tried to cut this Gordian Knot by building Tizen and they learned their lesson the hard way. But at least for them there was a strategic benefit of moving away from Android. There is no such benefit for Amazon.
Yes. NSTextStorage can also contain the same attributes as the temporary attributes (rendering attributes in TextKit 2).

The benefit of using temporary attributes is that changing them is very fast compared to invoking the full transaction on NSTextStorage. For example, switching between Light/Dark modes is very fast in Paper.
I get a feeling whatever deal they had with Amazon over their app store fell through. Nothing else I can think of really makes sense to end support so suddenly.
Sure, we will hire a few thousand contractors to form a network of committees and prepare multiple sustainability plans and guidelines for the next seven years. We will also declare war illegal and fine violators with 70% of their gdp.

Whoever dares to challenge european sovereignty will be met with the collective wrath of our cookie prompts

The EU is not only materially incapable of war mode (too many second rate career politicians) but also strategically unaligned. One of its members is occupied by a nato country, and hasn't been supported when threatened. Eastern countries, particularly poland are understandably pushing hard for armament but they will be sorely disappointed when national vetoes start arriving
Ah yes, my phone is also USB-C which leaves less room for this kind of issue to occur.
I'm sorry, but this is rubbish. For example, the UK citizenry was almost completely pacifist two years before world war II, much more than Germany is now, and for stronger reasons; having lost a huge number of men during world war I. It didn't take the population very long at all to change its ideas once it was clear what was going to happen.

> People don't think long distance trains

Have you been to Frankfurt airport long distance train station? It's pretty busy. That many airports have worse connections doesn't mean doing better would be unnecessary.

I more or less regularly have to use Munich or Frankfurt airport and take a long distance train. Flying closer to to/from my destination in Germany would be possible in theory, but is not attractive, neither by price nor schedule options. So I have the choice between a horrible airport with a good train station and a more decent airport with time-wasting train connections.

Also, central valley is really really hot, at least by European standards. I've been in both SF and Italy during the winter, and I can imagine cycling Italy[0], but not CA, and not even if I could be sure the drivers and roads were safe (and in CA neither seemed that good, though I have no experience of Italian drivers as that trip was on public transport, which was fine).

And sometimes CA is also a bit on-fire. I was diverted by this, and even in a car that meant an extra night camping[1] though I can't remember at this point if that was because there weren't enough towns with motels, or we just couldn't find them due to no phone signal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carr_Fire

[0] the flat bits at least, I'm not fit enough/trained for the hills; but of course, that also describes most of CA that isn't central valley…

I should think after defining a uniform distribution of points, you could cluster them as needed to form larger lower-resolution chunks according to population size. Binning everyone in that region to say the central most point. Which could then be adaptive as the populations change.

Totally agree with this, it would be really nice to be able to request clues without submitting an invalid guess. It could still count towards one of your four guesses but I think from a UX perspective it's nicer to be able to admit ignorance than being forced to guess incorrectly.

Claude Opus won't give details about unsafe C++ to underage people
As some of you know, gemini has issues with alignment, where if an underage person asks about unsafe C++, the model just refuses to help.

Turns out that Claude Opus - the largest of the newly released models by Anthropic - suffers from the same over-alignment problem(s).

It took a single attempt to get this response. This was generated today, 5th of March.

Granted, I could have probably dug deeper into particular concepts (hah!), but I think this is sufficient to make the case.
