On the contrary, Europe is committing seppuku (and I say this as an European) by desperately clinging to an industry that is, and wants to keep being, obsolete.

We have an almost negligible amount of oil, very far from covering our own consumption. We are very reliant on imports. It should have been our utmost interest, not now but already a decade or so ago, to tell our car industry to wake up once and for all and electrify. Instead, they doubled down on ICEs. Every day we have news in major newspapers, I suppose subsidized by Stellantis and Volkswagen, dwelling on how much EVs suck (full of fallacies like they will always be expensive, they actually emit more CO2 than ICEs if you consider manufacturing, sales are going down in X country - when actually it's invariably the first or even second derivative which goes down -, etc.) - it's pathetic.

We have rampant inflation (to a large extent, precisely due to reliance in fossil fuel imports and the stop of inflows from Russia). People complain that even the lowest-end ICE cars have gone to €20K while anything more or less considered midrange is €30K, when only a decade ago sub-€10K cars and midrange €15K cars were a thing. European ICE cars are ridiculously uncompetitive so most people who want an EV and have the money buy a Tesla.

And the response when someone wants to bring cars at the prices people want is to slap large tariffs... hell, I'm far from a free-market believer and I generally support tariffs as a way to support local industry and avoid external dependence, but this must be the paradigmatic example where they are a bad idea, with our industry only wanting to cling to ICE and being patted in the back for it. What do they want the EU to become, a country stuck in the past where you can see a fleet of cars from decades ago, like Cuba? Do they think it can even work? It's not only China, when Tesla releases the Model 2 it will be game over for the EU car industry anyway.

They are already very late, any measure that doesn't focus on "Electrify. Yesterday" will only deepen an already dire situation.

The realities of the world never work on "wouldn't it be better if...".

Yes it would be better if there was no war in Ukraine, no war in Gaza, no COVID, no economic downturn with inflation, etc. but the world doesn't function on our wishes, and companies operate on quarterly profits and can't wait for the world to become as they wish.

Nice and simple UX! Any way to add dependencies?
It could be related but I also want to weigh in here and say this. Hypoglycemia can occur with no relation to the other side of diabetic symptoms, i.e, hyperglycemia. In other words there are people who suffer from hypoglycemia without ever getting high blood sugar, and so they are not "diabetic" which would mean you can have issues from both directions.
Because these are made up numbers. No one knows how long it takes to change culture. The paperwork stuff is not like filling in a tax return, it's actually creating laws that fit into the Albanian legal system but implement EU legislation, and then passing those laws. It's defining new economic measures, getting those numbers, and then formulating legislation to improve them, and then actually implementing that legislation, and the improvements actually happening.

There are no real estimates on any of these numbers. Some countries joined the EU in months, others in 1-2 years, others took 5-10, Turkey has been in the process for two decades or so.

Cheating in online games is big business and is accessible to more than the technically inclined through purchase. There's no reason to think the same won't happen for tests that have actual monetary value.
I went on a hardcore training course once - four days in the mountains in Wales (UK) in winter, in the pouring rain, with ex-military trainers, competing as teams on tasks that were deliberately designed to cause tension in the teams. It was fascinating. All the guys that declared themselves the leaders at the start were practically (and literally in one case) in tears by the end, realising that nobody respected them and everyone thought they were jerks. The quiet, respectful, thoughtful ones became the leaders that everyone wanted to follow.
first reaction is that in we will see raw inside nikon internal recording soon
It's definitely my recollection from the GRE (though this was many years ago now that I took it): for math a perfect score got you a percentile in the mid-to-high-90s, while on the opposite side you could lose several points and still be 99th percentile in verbal.
You know, for all I agree with the post, and that leadership-as-cult is horrible, the question _why_ would someone put that in their LinkedIn title is trivial to answer:

Because they want to get the moneys! Because they want to get hired as a leader!

Because _you're_ not the audience. Their cronies are, the other cultists. They didn't come up with this themselves, they're just copying what everyone else (in their peer group / bubble) are doing... shrug
If you are based in the US, try to make a claim with your credit card or, if more adventurous, small claims court to sue. It seems pretty easy to win. Also, send a letter to your attorneys general office to explain what happened.

> got 99th percentile scores on everything

This part was unnecessary to include. Nothing but humblebragging there.
Mukden incident 1931. False flag operation that lead to the invasion of Manchuria by Japan.
OP here: I've been grappling with a decision for a project I'm working on - curious to hear what you think. It's about the user authentication approach for a SaaS AI agenda tool I'm developing, and I'm torn between two methods: traditional website-hosted accounts versus leveraging Chrome extensions for auto-login capabilities.

For a bit of context, the traditional route means users would create an account directly on our platform. This is the path well-ridden. It offers full control over the user experience and security but also adds friction to the signup process and requires handling more personal data securely.

On the flip side, I'm considering a Chrome extension that would automatically log users in when they load it and they'd be able to use it directly in their calendar. There is no hosting of their accounts on my site. This method could significantly reduce friction and improve the user experience by leveraging Google accounts already used by the browser. However, I'm conscious that it could limit the product's accessibility to non-Chrome users and potentially raise concerns about putting too much trust in a third-party ecosystem.

Here are the pros and cons as I see them:

Website-Hosted Accounts:

Pros:
-Full control over the user experience and security
-Platform agnostic .. works on any browser
-Direct relationship with users

Cons:
-Higher friction for sign-ups
-Requires robust security for handling personal data

Chrome Extension Auto-Login:

Pros:
-Lower friction for Chrome users
-Simplified login process
-Potentially faster adoption among Chrome users

Cons:
-Limited to Chrome users
-Dependence on Google's ecosystem
-Possible perception issues regarding privacy and security

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. What has been your experience with either approach? Have you seen any innovative solutions that might offer a best-of-both-worlds scenario? Any feedback, experiences, or pointers would be incredibly appreciated!
Excellent tip, thank you!

hnhiring.com looks super cool, I'm curious if you have any stats or infographics about the data

have you played with the data and LLMs to try to get some insights?
You laugh, but if pixels (or ink) was the expensive part of making a book I'm absolutely sure we'd see this.
As it turns out, a lot can be.

The concept of a ZK VM is that it is able to prove arbitrary code. Risc0 and the more recent SP1[1] both compile arbitrary Rust programs into ZK circuits for generating and verifying execution proofs.

I feel a bit smug that I thought "this must be an Australian" about 5 paragraphs before I found out :-D It's the rejection of authority that's so characteristic. I am in a Japanese owned company where I must seem far more extreme to them than the OP seems to me so I'm not criticising.

IMO actual leaders are just people who think ahead so when other people don't know what to do they have some sort of answer. They may not be in positions of authority at all.

They have to stick their necks out a bit otherwise their forward thinking is of no use. That requires a bit of arrogance and some people have lots of arrogance of course but without it how could we deal with uncertainty?

In real life who really @#$# knows what will happen or what we truly need to do to succeed? Success may be more accidental than planned. If one is to get people to work together however, there has to be a degree of belief in what they're working on and that starts with "leaders" - who are forced to bullshit just as politicians are and then get blamed for doing so. If they didn't nobody would begin to listen to them. Then the group would not work together and no goal would be accomplished.

Authority is another matter. Who is going to take responsibility? There's a problem - who is going to take time out of their day to solve it? Who should have made sure it didn't happen in the first place? Authority is just the supposed answer to these questions. And at the end, who will be able to get everyone to a decision so that discussion doesn't go on for ever. At the end when their decision turns out to not save the day, who will accept the risk of blame for a failure?

You do get people who "don't believe in leadership" or authority or whatever but I am a bit suspicious that they are the ones who in practice do a lot of leading and pushing people around and are successful at doing so whilst avoiding responsibility. So they want more of that obviously. To be fair I probably do a bit of it. Nobody is wholly wonderful.
I believe that the question was linked to the previous one; out of the five sans-serif designs commissioned by Microsoft, are the serif and monospace versions available for the other four.

I was also interested, but I believe that if these were commissioned, they have not been made public.

With regards to OP's other question: 'Is it possible to easily download the full suite of Aptos variants?', I believe the answer is 'no', unless you're prepared to go clicking random 'download' links on sites of dubious legitimacy.

There's some discussion here on how you can access the fonts when they are downloaded by Office, with an appropriate note that the legality of this may depend on your jurisdiction, but it is fairly certainly a breach of the Font License: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoodNotes/comments/15zpsh2/anyone_k...

It also does not seem to be possible to separately license Aptos through the licensing portal linked by Microsoft in the Aptos font details page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/aptos, https://www.fonts.com/content/microsoft-typography
The SQL example relates to an acquisition that happened in 2013, and states that the vulnerabilities have been around for some time. The early 2010s have really been a different time in that regard.
Because I think intelligence formed in human beings is connected directly to embodiment and not some kind of abstraction that can be simulated. My guess is that the best AI developments will ultimately come from mimicking the processes of how humans learn from their environment, and not from merely simulating (or trying to simulate, as I don’t really buy the positivist approach) human brains.
This could actually be pretty interesting, don’t RED have a patent on compressed raw video? I’m amazed that this patent is allowed but I guess we’ll see Nikon cameras with more advanced video features and probably increased difficulty offering ProRes compressed raw for other manufacturers. I hate software patents so much.

Uhh again the "only human has soul" argument. What means by soul, please define this word, philosopher. Does bird know language grammars indicate that soul exist? Does fish can do arithmetic up to 5 show that their soul exist? Does elephant do funeral to their dead fellow show that there is a soul? Can this humancentric ideology just go away?
Would you be able to expand on this, my impression is that these tools build a custom c program instead? Thanks
I told it to be unfriendly and use black humour. It certainly is wacky, especially with that TTS voice. Running this locally made me realize that OpenAI's ChatGPT is way too uptight and the personality is way too bland. The LLM can already whip out "smooth talk" faster than me.
Not sure about Facebook, but LINE specifically complied with all Chinese censorship laws (there was a bit of an uproar over it) and was still shut down, presumably because it wasn't WeChat.
The article claims as part of its argument that AI has not had algorithmic advances since the 80s. This is an exceedingly false premise and a common misconception among the ignorant. It would actually be fairer to say that every aspect of neural network training has had algorithmic advances than that no advances have been made.

Here is a quote from research related to this subject:

> Compared to 2012, it now takes 44 times less compute to train a neural network to the level of AlexNet (by contrast, Moore’s Law would yield an 11x cost improvement over this period). Our results suggest that for AI tasks with high levels of recent investment, algorithmic progress has yielded more gains than classical hardware efficiency.

When you apply the principle of charity you can make their claim increasingly vacuous and eventually true. We're still doing optimization - we're still in the same general structure. The thing is, it becomes absurd when you do that. Its not appropriate to take such a premise seriously. It would be like taking seriously the argument that we haven't had any advancement in software engineering since bubble sort since we're still in the regime of trying to sort numbers when we sort numbers.

Its like, okay, sure, we're still sorting numbers, but it doesn't make the wider point it wants to make and its false even under the regime it wants to make the point under.

This isn't even the only issue that makes this premise wrong. For one, AI research in the 80s wasn't centered around neural networks. Hell even if you move forward to the 90s PAIP puts more emphasis on rule systems with programs like Eliza and Student than it does learning from data. So it isn't as if we're in a stagnation without advance; we moved off other techniques to the ones that worked. For another, it tries to narrow down AI research progress myopically to just particular instances of deep learning, but in reality there are a huge number of relevant advances which just don't happen to be in publicly available chat bots but which are already in the literature and force a broadening. These actually matter to LLMs too, because you can take the output of a game solver as conditioning data for an LLM. This was done in the Cicero paper. And the resulting AI has outperformed humans on conversational games as a consequence. So all those advancements are thereby advances relevant to the discussion, yet myopically removed from the context, despite being counterexamples. And in there we find even greater than 44x level algorithmic improvements. In some cases we find algorithmic improvements so great that they might as well be infinite as previous techniques could never work no matter how long they ran and now approximations can be computed practically.
> Maybe I try organizing online, which probably goes nowhere...Very few people have the time, energy, or resources

The thing is...a sector of companies that do this is probably a good business opportunity that is being crowded out by a mandatory government monopoly.

The fact that government does this means that you are already paying for it, and maybe its not being done well.

If people care about their food, they should look for a sticker on their food, from an organization that verifies it. If other people don't have the label, and people know about it, then people won't buy from them.

And if this is too much trouble, then have another industry above this where companies offer all-encompassing ratings on a variety of different things.

With modern technology so much is possible to solve problems that otherwise were too complicated.

You could end up with a marketplace of super apps, that ensure you are completely covered across all avenues of life to the parameters that you desire.

It sounds complicated, but today its even more complicated with government where we rely on the media mostly.
Yeah I think this will be huge for in-body RAW.

I think Nikon is more likely to play patent licensing than REzd and we’ll see more ProRes RAW offerings going forward.
In short, it seems to make the Latin alphabet work for Japanese. Perfectly fine if Japan uses it as its Latin-based writing system (discarding the native ones), or to transcribe it for academic usage, but unhelpful as a Romanization, which is mostly intended to make it easier for people completely unfamiliar with the language to pronounce names and to learn the language.
There are several variations of Hepburn, but none of them uses an apostrophe for small-tsu consonants.

One could repurpose Pharo for this, I think. I'm not entirely sure how the environment would be an "at the OS level thing" but it should be doable to have a basic OS that basically boots a Pharo environment and then that's your OS.

A 55 year old job hopper is common. They are sometimes called consultants or they work short term employment contracts. They travel like a 20 year old.

Plus no matter how old you are working for startups means frequent employment changes. Don't be ageist.

Unless there was exceptional reasons for it, it's a surefire way to make your best talent resentful. All these "company retreat" type things are concocted by HR-types justifying their own paycheck. It's anti-leadership.

Can it be done for docker compose (in theory) too?
Usually I have at least 4 VS instances open and some subsystems are crashing from time to time.
local newspapers (paper printed) hold a decent list of events. Some newspapers do it once in a week which is useful.
I believe so. Although RED was always being super mysterious and hype-y about it their RedCODE codec is ultimately just JPEG2000 so hopefully Nikon can relax this situation somewhat, which would be a benefit to all manufacturers.
My uninformed understanding, is that you allow people to login into an actual user account within the system, but then you replace their shell (usually you change something like /bin/sh to /usr/bin/ssh_application in the entry for that account within the /etc/passwd file), so when someone logs into that account, instead of running an "open" shell, they get the application instead, and when the application exits, the session ends

So essentially you should be able to create an ssh application with just a shell script
I find a simple thought experiment answers this question. Imagine we trained an LLM using modern methods, and gave it infinite compute, on the entirety of human knowledge from 200,000 years ago. Would that AI then be able to create calculus, even if by another name obviously? I offer that as an example, because there's 0 need for knowledge of the physical world to derive calculus. All of mathematics is entirely an invention of the human mind.

I think the answer is quite obviously no. LLMs can recite their training, and recombine it in ways that correlates strongly to how a human might do so. But creating entirely new knowledge, that goes above and beyond recombinations of what is already known, remains entirely outside the domain of LLMs. An LLM trained on slow classical music is not going to create rap. And an LLM trained on rap is not going to create classical music. And those are trivial examples since it's not entirely new, but just taking a concept and using it a slightly different way than 'normal.' Math, by contrast, is literally creating something from nothing.

And this ability to create something from nothing is probably the most key indicator of intelligence. And we've yet to even step foot on the path towards creating software with this ability.
Exactly what's the problem with sci-kit's random forest?
It's not clear to me - was the seal replacement documented in CMES?

Is there not some dependency tree such that a cascade of sign-offs are required when one thing is changed? Clearly, changing the seal has dependencies which should automatically be flagged.
