You should lobby your nearest EU politician to stop platform-holders from creating anti-competitive conditions. It damages the market, and requires regular scrutiny to prevent the corporate bean counters from deploying salami tactics.

Because guess what? Apple isn't going away, their hardware will continue to be popular, and companies will compete with them regardless. Just because one business tactic has been deemed anticompetitive doesn't mean everything is, let alone that you can't continue providing the same features under fair pretenses. Apple chooses how they respond to the legislation, and right now they are deliberately steering themselves in the most victimizing and infantile direction possible. It makes me embarrassed to be an American, where many consider this behavior an... attribute of free-market patriotism. Barf.

I’ve done this sort of work and my anecdotal experience was it is mostly used to flag blacklisted activities from occurring on the computer spanning things like porn and gambling sites to administrative privileges, but also to modify what level of access these computers had for interacting with different infrastructure between silos.

You could use the data to identify activity levels or behavior patterns of the people using the device but it would cost a ton more money and a larger team to do that plus the other responsibilities we had simultaneously.

My experience is also not with employee owned devices so in my mind there’s nothing wrong with doing it’s agreed to and is imperative to their function as an employees especially with HIPPA concerned.

I think there was some BYOD stuff that was starting at one point and we had to run an emulator on their personal devices so the programs we run to collect logs were sandboxed from their regular phones.
It is extremely silly to think using Gab AI says anything about you, except you want good AI that isn't ruined. Extremely silly.

The author is correct, and I’m sure if they were rewriting their hypervisor from scratch today they would write it in Rust or some other memory safe language, but that’s not realistic. So they can write new code in Rust, but the old memory bugs will still be present, at least for a while.

There’s tons of C/C++ code out there that isn’t realistic to replace. No need to act like the devs are dumb, they know there’s a problem.

AI Runner is an application that I have been developing for over a year. This next iteration is a near total rewrite and adds lots of new features - what started out as an AI Art application has evolved into a multi-modal AI assistant built with pure python. It runs locally and offline on your own hardware (I recommend using an RTX 2080s or higher).

The sword of damacles explanation of BSDi's ending is utter bullshit in this article. BSDi knew they were in direct competition with RedHat in the late 1990s. The President, Rob Kolstad, ran a very lean operation with only about 20 employees. Red Hat managed to IPO and was heavily capitalized. Some BSDi employees and one in particular, argued for an IPO and the particular guy from MIT guaranteed that with an IPO everyone would be rich in one year. The palace revolt worked, the MIT guy took over, Rob Kolstad was deposed, and the MIT guy bankrupted the company in just 1 year (record time). The pieces were sold off to Wind River, which was later absorbed into VxWorks, which finally cancelled development a few years later, and that was the end of BSD/OS or BSDi.

I'm not saying there aren't places where this can be an issue. Partly this seems to depend on the region – in the US, in particular, it seems to be a big no-no, which I find odd considering how fucking often fuck is in fucking American media – the fuck is up with that? But outside of that? It seems to be mostly a non-issue.

I don't really get the point of this comment. Even if most servers are not typescript, some are, and of those some may be interested in graphql, hence this.

The things you're mentioning see irrelevant if you're using typescript. You may be alluding to the question of why even use node, but that would be beyond the scope of discussion.

I don't know if my reading is the intended one, but the way I've always interpreted this is not that random initialization is bad. Rather, the error Sussman makes is saying that a randomly initialized network has no preconceptions of how to play. It does - it's just that the preconceptions are randomized and so you don't know what they are. Similarly, closing your eyes does not make the room empty, it just means you don't know what's in it.

That said, I don't think my interpretation really matches the intent of the poster above.

Use a Taylor series with a four function calculator.

0 is a decent approximation of sin near 0.

x is a better one.

x - x^3/6 is an even better one.

x - x^3/6 + x^5/120 ...

Note that x here is in radians rather than degrees so convert (degrees * pi/180) first. Repeat until you're satisfied with how many stable digits you get

The comment said that LLMs are the path to AGI, which implies at least that they’re a huge part of the AGI soup you’re talking about. I could maybe see agi emerging from lots of llms and other tools in a huge network, but probably not from an llm with calculators hooked up to it.

It demonstrates that your criticism of the syntax of array languages boils down to “it’s different than the things I already know” and that not using words in a programming language isn’t a meaningful barrier to most people, given that most programmers in the world overcame this obstacle with no sweat. There is a meaningful criticism to be had in the area of syntax, but this is not it IMO. One valid criticism I know of is that most array languages have a context-sensitive syntax: you need to maintain a symbol table in your head to know how to parenthesise a line of code. Fortunately, BQN fixes this issue by using a context-free grammar.

Lisp is defined by much more than syntax. I certainly see many flaws in it (starting with the cons cell), which are total deal-breakers for me and have nothing to do with syntax. I think your view that syntax is the biggest obstacle to Lisp’s popularity isn’t as evident as you claim. There are too many other, IMO bigger obstacles.
The "old" renderer feels so new to me, that I'd like to see the comparison against GTK+ 3.0 with pango <=1.42.

P.S. Since pango 1.44 some letters at some positions became blurry and some letters are more close to the previous one than being in the middle. Actually the later issue might be needed to prevent the first one, in theory. In practice, there might be other constraints, which force the corruption.

Actually, you don't have to. For GPL software you must provide source code for the binary, and can't put it under NDA, that is many fails to comply with. But you don't have to upload the files onto Internet or anything. This is about BSD so it's even less than that, you only have to display correct attributions.

You can refuse to distribute binary and/or source code, or your private copy thereof, entirely, with FOSS. You don't have to send your fork to non-users randomly asking for it, even with AGPLv3.

It's just a totally fine and also easy conformance that is slightly beneficial to all.

The company I work for was acquired during the height of Covid. We had an all-hands meeting with the entire company with a 1-hour notice on a Monday. I knew something was up and wasn't that surprised.

The new company made sweeping cuts and I for sure thought I was out of a job. Luckily, the IT team on both sides is small and I got to keep my job (3 years now).

It also helped that upper management of the new company made really terrible IT decisions (the director was fired about a year after the acquisition). We were supposed to convert our proprietary systems (that I maintain) to Net suite. The plan was terrible and crashed and burned.

They tried again last year, and we were successful.
For Earth-sized planets solar winds don't have much affect. Geologic activity continuously pumps gas into the atmosphere and the planet has sufficient gravity to retain its atmosphere over long time periods. With a thick atmosphere, the losses from solar wind just don't make a dent, it's only for planets with an already thin atmosphere that it becomes a significant factor, and even then it's still not the main contributor. For example solar wind only accounts for about 5% of Mars' current atmospheric loss rate. The component of Mars' atmospheric loss due to the solar wind is about 100 grams per second, which over 10 billion years would remove less than 1% of Earth's atmosphere. Venus, despite having essentially no magnetic field and being even closer to the sun nevertheless has an incredibly thick atmosphere more than 90 times thicker than Earth's.
No one is stopping you from making your own decision. The only roadblock is that you need the resources and skills to train your own model.

If you lack either the resources, or the skills, you are absolutely entitled to complain about the lack of availability, but there should be no expectation that some other individual or business should bear the public relations, social, or real financial cost of building a tool to satisfy whatever interests you might have in using an uncensored AI.

The fact that one of the few businesses willing to do it is Gab says a great deal about the primary reasons folks want these.
That sounds nice except that it didn't happen. They scraped this off many sites whose authors published the material in ways that wouldn't legally allow that. They often publish for a mix of self interest and public benefit. The more you look, the more you find that much altruism is actually self-interest at work. Some have specific terms, too. Let's look at examples in The Pile.

It might be something that's part of their job, requires citations since they value credit, optionally bans commercial use, and maybe has a patent. Arxiv papers are a mix of that. Many on StackOverflow and Hacker News want attribution with some asserting copyright in their comments. Film producers usually want the subtitles to accompany sales of their movies. For FreeLaw, the material is public by law about people who might have never even wanted to testify or be remembered. FreeLaw itself was seeking donations for its service with an additional request to protect the names of people in the dataset. StackOverflow's license explicitly bans copying their data without permission with many individual users also wanting self-promotion to happen side by side with their answers.

So, many things that are in The Pile are works people published hoping to gain some benefit in return. They often had terms that banned their reproduction in ways that prevented them from getting that benefit. They were just public for humans to read and learn from. Some allowed sharing but just wanted credit.

The A.I. users of these works ignore all of that by taking what they made conditionally available without meeting the conditions that benefit the authors. Whereas, if you got the same content on Hacker News or Arxiv, the authors might benefit from it. Even a pirate would benefit them more than A.I. companies because the users would often at least know the author or source site. So, the fruits of their labor were taken, not given, by those who are the least beneficial to them.

I will note that some people do publish truly free content that has no strings attached. Mostly public domain or CC-0. Those are exceptions that might fit your description.
I guess not enough examples of how to correctly respond to commands that tell it to omit something were in the training materials.

Yes it would, since adding a check digit means there are 10x as many numbers as possible accounts, and any single digit typo or transposition can't map to a valid account number with a valid check digit.

Even if a transfer doesn't go through, that transfer might be stuck pending for hours or days before being reverted, if we're talking about bank transfers.

So there was an interesting vector a while back where some email firewalls would reliably click on any link sent to them that was abused by spammers.

Spammers would sign up for services that required a click on a link using blabla@domainusingsuchservice

The services bots to check phishing would reliably click on the link, rendering the account creation valid.

One particularly exploitable vendor for getting such links clicked was one that shares the name with a predatory fish that also has a song about it :)

Are you sure about that? This makes it sound like updates also stop after 30 days:

Alternative app marketplaces can continue updating those apps for up to 30 days after you leave the European Union, and you can continue using alternative app marketplaces to manage previously installed apps."

> which took me a day to slap together and is close to free

An engineer who can slap together a good meeting transcriber in a day is probably paid $2,000 a day or more. The opportunity cost of having them work on a random project is far more than the cost of their salary. The ongoing maintenance cost of the custom meeting transcriber is probably 5-10 engineer days over its lifetime. The added utility from slightly-better meeting transcripts does not compensate for the staggering engineering cost of the custom solution.

Circleback and other meeting transcribers will surely get better and surpass the quality of the custom transcriber. Then the team must spend more time switching to Circleback and deleting the custom transcriber.
There is nothing stopping someone from training and using a model that impersonates whichever historical person you want it to impersonate - except for resources and skill.

That is always the huge differentiator in the availability of tech without guardrails. Do you want a reasonably priced thing?
