I understand, but that is not clear enough. "Public scan" can easily be misinterpreted. Honestly, when I looked at it, I didn't know what it meant. Just looked like idk maybe a mistranslation or something? Is it a scan for the public? Is the scanning done in public? Are the results public? Who knows. Remember that I'm not tech literate and didn't make the project.

I'd suggest having two buttons, "public scan" "private scan". That would contextualize the public scan to clarify and when you are scanning is publicly __listed__. And different colors. I think red for "public" would actually be the better choice.

Some information could be displayed while scanning. Idk put something like "did you know, using the public scan makes the link visible to others? This helps security researchers. You can delist it by clicking ____" or something like that and do the inverse. It should stand out. There's plenty of time while the scan happens.

> On each scan result page there is a "Report" button which will immediately de-list the scan result without any interaction from our side.

"Report" is not clear. That makes me think I want to report a problem. Also I think there is a problem with the color scheme. The pallet is nice but at least for myself, it all kinda blends in. Nothing pops. Which can be nice at times, but we want to draw the user to certain things, right? I actually didn't see the report button at first. I actually looked around, scrolled, and then even felt embarrassed when I did find it because it is in an "obvious" spot. One that I even looked at! (so extra embarrassing lol)

I think this is exactly one of those problems where when you build a tool everything seems obvious and taken care of. You clearly thought about these issues (far better than most!) but when we put things out into public, we need to see how they get used and where our assumptions miss the mark.

I do want to say thank you for making this. I am criticizing not to put you down or dismiss any of the work you've done. You've made a great tool that helps a lot of people. You should feel proud for that! I am criticizing because I want to help make the tool the best tool it can be. Of course these are my opinions. My suggestion would be to look at other opinions as well and see if there are common themes. Godelski isn't right, they're just one of many voices that you have to parse. Keep up the good work :)

For some reason, here I actually read the articles. On sites like reddit it seems like a lot of the content for discussion is already in the title, and that is the launching pad for discussion in the comments. Maybe just a psychological trick, and I would like to build the habit of reading articles in every case, but I think the title length restriction helps a bit.

Maybe instead they'll be like Feigenbaum constants: apparently universal constants that we don't really understand. For instance, we don't even know for sure that Feigenbaum constants are irrational, though mathematicians who study them strongly suspect they're transcendental.

No. You're ignoring the time dimension.

Past policing strategy means that current crime stats are unreliable. These current crime stats should therefore not form the basis of a future policing strategy.

If we're optimizing for getting results today, policing strategy should not rely on the flawed crime stats we have today.

If we're optimizing for the long term, then sure rely on crime stats, but first make it easy to report crime.

This is the reason why Silicon Valley is losing its reality-distortion field image of disruptive innovators changing the world and being seen as the exploitative assholes on par with - or exceeding the cocaine-addled "greed is good" finance bros from the 80s. The attitude and attendant results from sloppiness are just begging for legislative clamp-downs similar to what happened with finance.

You can only profitably arbitrage gaps in the law for so long before someone goes too far and there's a scandal or two, and public opinion turns against you, followed by the business-end of legislative attention.
For big grocery trips I'll use my car. But I can comfortably carry four bags of groceries using a bike rack and two large pannier bags. My bike is nothing fancy, either. The whole thing (bike, rack, panniers) is under $1000, and just uses leg power.

If someone wants to haul more on a bike, there are solutions out there.
Great article, as always!

The author not only looks into the spec sheet and the presentation, but also looks into the OSS mesa code and uses OpenGL introspection to reverse-engineer (well, not by himself but...) the architecture. For me this is one of the most detailed explanations of how mobile GPU architecture looks like.

The comparison to the older NVIDIA GPU is also very helpful (it is like a 6 year gap between this and discrete NVIDIA GPU 1050 GTX). Now I wonder how it compares to other mobile GPUs like Apple's or ARM's.

And the billion dollar question is: does the code generator treat AMD / Intel CPUs as equivalent when generating code or does it only look at Intel CPU-specific information for generating code?

Yes, but what is the threat to Europe that might cause war? Russia can't even project force to the Polish border. Certainly no military threats coming from North Africa.

> Unless I misunderstand and the “process[ing] for language modeling” is an entirely irreversible process.

In the case of The Pile, "processing for language modelling" means "converting epub and pdf into plain text, maybe deduplicating, maybe removing some sorts of detectably malformed files"

So not a particularly lossy conversion.
While a lot of attention has been given to books3, another large component of this dataset is the deceptively-named "OpenWebText2". What's that? It's a scrape of 15 years' worth of third-party websites that were linked to from upvoted Reddit submissions. I know this includes some of my writing.
I worked with some chip design and verification folks.
They were very tolerant of slow results, waiting for licenses or infrastructure. Their processes were just built around those constraints. They didn't seem to have interest in removing them.

As an impatient software developer it was very interesting.
> and there have been some ridiculous motions coming out of it

Could you be more specific?
if the pile contains the code to go from step 1 to step 2 and then to 3 then couldn't you just remove the parts you don't want from the raw dataset and re-run the code?
It provides a way to preliminarily validate the number without having to waste an API call for verification of a malformed number. If it doesn't check out, you can kick it back immediately. I don't know whether this was the intention with credit cards, as those were initially largely used offline and processed in batches, but for lots of numbers with this kind of error checking built-in, offline validation can save a small amount of effort/expense that adds up when you are dealing with a high volume of transactions.

In terms of storage and communication, there's a benefit in being able to verify some degree of data integrity as well.

So I would hazard it's totally a processing thing, not really an identity thing.
GCC won't use FMA without fast-math though. Even when AVX is otherwise enabled.

The other, less obvious logical extreme is to consider why so many Americans would voluntarily consume foreign propaganda, figure out what makes it so compelling, and then produce equally or more compelling counter-propaganda.

(But I think the unspoken part is that it's not really Chinese propagandists cooking up viral stories (they're way too boring for that) but instead Americans propagandizing to other Americans, which they have First Amendment rights to do.)
Is the joke that you were then wasting both time and paper?
Because American social media only drives color revolutions in other countries! Duh.
Are you reading programming books the same way you would read a fiction book? If so, stop doing that.

Programming or any technical learning is a hands on experience. Take notes and apply techniques, using pen-and-paper or the keyboard, as they are presented.

If you really have to just "read" a technical book, IME a less-is-more approach works best. 5-10 minutes at a time, not even a chapter at once. Maybe a few paragraphs if its something really information dense. Funny aside, I find my morning "business" is the perfect time to this sort of reading using the Kindle app on my phone.

The Chinese government may be influencing tiktok moderation policy in various ways, but I think it's still a bit of a leap from "the relative rates of different hashtags related to the israel/palestine conflict don't appear to match opinions given in a pew poll given to a random sample of 18-29 year olds" to assuming that tiktok is suppressing pro-israel content.

That's not to say that isn't necessarily the case, but opinion polls are very different from self selected groups of people vocally producing social media content and I think the assertion that the numbers should match up requires a little bit more evidence (e.g is that usually the case in situations like this?)

Maybe you missed the part where I said I scratch built a delta. I should add that I did it maybe a decade ago, and on top of all that I only printed ABS. In retrospect, although I believed to be choosing technically superior solutions, I came later to realize that I just chose pain at every decision point.

While I obviously identify with your sentiment, I will add that none of those makers are out there are starting out by whittling and grinding their own screwdriver set before they get to work. If you want to be able to properly and efficiently design and build a 3d printer, you will need to be capable of manufacturing a complex part. You /can/ bootstrap the whole mess, but after having done it, again I will suggest that it is not optimal, even if your objective is to learn and experience everything possible.

Anyway as every proper 3d printing enthusiast can attest, one of the earliest tools that you will find extremely useful is another printer. Save the pain and go ahead and pick up that $99 bed slinger that's on sale. You can still suffer through as much of the other pain as you desire, and wont lose any geek cred, I promise.

There’s already a well known correlation between heart disease and gum disease. One of the hypothesis is that plaque creating bacteria from the mouth end up in the bloodstream and create plaque in the heart. It wouldn’t be a big stretch to suggest that microplastics could take the same route to reach the heart.

>If content providers try to stop this then simply decouple the video recorder/AI from the TV

Lol, just you fing wait. Soon the law will demand that your AI be HDCP compliant and severe* penalties will occur if it isn't.
For pure SWE I don't think I have a great answer for you, but on the ML/DE side there are a lot of industry-specific problems, especially on the P&C side, it helps to have context and experience with:

* Rating (a deep, classical, tabular ML problem) is still catching up to SOTA techniques in many insurance companies + uneven regulatory environment makes it tricky to navigate.

* Marketing is another classical ML problem, the goal is to optimize ad/lead broker spend/conversion funnel.

* CS of course has huge opportunity with LLMs.

* Automated claim fraud detection is a very difficult problem amenable to LLMs/MM DL models. Lots of "pivot to AI" going on here.

And there are others of course. The main thing is that insurance companies have limits on product innovation - policy terms are in many cases mandated by law, so the main differentiator is operational efficiency and exellency. Solutions that move the needle on big revenue/cost levers are very valuable and can be applied widely.
That's your choice, but it's just an arbitrary point in time, by which Arabs have airway been slaughtering Jews for generations. You could have just as well choose last week as a starting point.
Thank you! I received three responses.

1) One pointing to the linked promo video designed to give feel-good vibes, claiming that's a citation. (fnordpiglet)

2) One without citations, just claiming this was designed by "researchers" and I should take that on the double-authority (bluGill)

3) And yours, which is helpful and points to an actual set of citations!

Thank you for that!

Footnote: There was a point in history when slashdot, and then reddit, were populated by intelligent discussions. At some point, there was a cliff.

I see, thanks. Yes, in that case, I don’t see how this can possibly not constitute copyright infringement.
Thanks, that is great feedback and we'll try to improve how the scan visibility is shown and what it actually means. The suggestion of adding a text to the loading page is a great idea, and the feedback about the colors on the result page is totally valid.

I'm the last person who wants to see private data accidentally leak into the public domain. However experience has shown that combating the massive amounts of fraud and malicious activity on the web nowadays requires many eyes that are able to access that data and actually do something about it. That is the reason we have these public scans in the first place.

Anything that uses slot machine styled reward mechanisms should be outlawed with our consumer protection laws. I support a TikTok ban only due to national security concerns, but that's not to say I believe American social media monoliths are doing anything right in the slightest either yet not to say they should be banned either. I made a post on a different thread about a month ago dissecting specific issues with my generation (Gen Z) and social media where I touch on different areas (I should really make a blog).

Side note : I'm quite interested, is TikTok as popular with Gen Z in Europe as it is in America?

Yeah, I know, it's a somewhat complicated story. But even the kernel has, as the Wikipedia article confirms, considerable BSD heritage, and the userland is even more BSD flavored. I would think that the vast majority of Mac / iOS programmers has never made a direct Mach system call in their code.

At the very least, you can say that OS X is more BSD than Linux is GNU.
So... Kagi?
It is the worst possible approximation though.

> Calling what happened in 2006 “an election” is not a good idea.

From Wikipedia:

> An 84-delegate international observer delegation monitored the elections. It judged the elections to have been peaceful and well-administered.[33] Twenty-seven members of the European parliament were included. Edward McMillan-Scott, the British Conservative head of the European Parliament's monitoring team described the polls as "extremely professional, in line with international standards, free, transparent and without violence".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Palestinian_legislative_e...

So a very large team of international observer agreed that this election was fair and the results accurate. Why do you claim it wasn’t?

> Thats way too late. You better start at Arab colonization of the region in 17-19th century

You are talking about the Ottoman Turks (not Arabs) who ruled Palestine between 1516 and 1914 (with some pauses in the 19th century).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Palestine#Ottoman_p...

I think your anti-Arab sentiments are showing.
"NATO standards" is a meaningless technicality. NATO is more like a political suicide pact. The parade troops are just a side show. There is no public meta-discussion about the issue at all except among greens and socialists.

Try talking to some good friends about the prospect of actually fighting in a war. The difference between the public facade of the elite pretending stuff and my "experienced reality" is psychosis inducing. The cheering in this thread is really suspicious. It's one of those things that only seems to exist on the internets.

I got this feeling that the elite just waited for the right moment to push for joining NATO. They have been wanting this for a long time.
For the cost of the plane ticket, I could probably hire a retired book binder ;)
The Swiss position on joining the EU follows a similar trajectory: the decision is negative, but that’s not because they think joining the alliance is a bad thing or that relations are strife, but because they thought, or think, that making things official would betray principles.

Maybe compare it to a couple who live together but aren’t married and are opposed to it because one of them sees it as an encroachment of religion.
This is something I think a lot about.

I spend a lot of time trying to think of something that composes. Monads are one answer.

I think we need advanced term rewriting systems that also optimize and equivalise.
