It's a label, not a ban. Just like sponsored content is not banned, but must be disclosed.
I think you're being too harsh, it's simply a form of rhetoric.

Surely you could've shared your take on the actual substance of the post?
I don't get where the strawman is, the parent comment said:

>Usually the best argument opposing accessibility is that the authors/developers don’t know what they are doing. When they say accessibility is too expensive that’s what they really mean, and it’s not a good argument.

There's no slippery slope either. If lack of accessibility is just a matter of incompetence and not cost, then there's no downside or cost to adding it everywhere. I don't get the point of not acknowledging that there are costs to accessibility. I get that it's not a good justification in most cases, but there's no benefit in denying that it has costs too. It just discredits the rest of the argument imo.
Didn't need to. I just went to the website of the organization that sponsored the lecture and saw the quackery I expected.

> "The Meru Project has discovered an extraordinary and unexpected geometric metaphor in the letter-sequence of the Hebrew text of Genesis that underlies and is held in common by the spiritual traditions of the ancient world.

How is a company that sells canned water worth $1.4B?
"I see little evidence that OpenAI has any plans to help creators other than trying to convince them to use its tools." -- Is she expecting them to send monthly tithe checks to creators? The tone is suggestive, and to me that seems insane. Better tools is exactly how I would expect OpenAI to help content creators.

"Chang weakly ripostes by laughing about her kids using ChatGPT to write papers, to which Hoffman retorts with his own version of "extending creativity," saying that the hope would be that the interaction with AI will teach students to "create much more interesting papers," a point at which Chang should have asked him what that actually fucking means." -- This is purposefully obtuse. Less time spent researching minutiae and trying to figure out how to pack your material into the format means more time available to come up with an interesting thesis and coming up with clever points or turns of phrase for GPT to incorporate.

"Stern fails to push back here on numerous fronts — that "larval reasoning" is a completely meaningless term, and that, in general, Altman has failed to actually explain what he means." -- This one isn't hard to figure out if you spend a minute using these tools, and the fact that the author didn't shows that they didn't do proper due diligence to write an article worth considering. For example, "Hey ChatGPT, I have an idea but I'm not sure how to go about proving/disproving it, and I am missing some background information, what books and authors are a good source of information, and experiments could I do to improve my understanding?"

I could go on but at this point I couldn't be bothered to read a cold take from someone who's obviously got an anti AI agenda (probably due to connections to people in art/journalism who are 100% going to lose their jobs).
Health inspection failures are very common. Health inspections also only capture a specific a point in time. I have personally eaten at restaurants that initially passed a health inspection, yet failed later for not having a functional handwashing sink.

Ensuring complete compliance at this level is very difficult.

Ask to shadow interviews at your current workplace. You will get a lot of exposure to the process, and will have access to actual feedback about what works and what doesn't (not something a company almost ever provides to an interviewee).
It is not universally true that accessibility efforts always benefit everyone. For example, implementing ARIA markup on HTML only benefits those using assistive technology.

If developers don't know how to make web services accessible, it IS expensive because it will take time to train them. Developer time is often a company's biggest expense.

Moreover, not every web product is simple to make accessible even by experts because eyes can process a lot of information very quickly across two dimensions, and UX designers often take this for granted. Translating complex experiences into comprehensible text-only applications often takes creativity and effort.

I'm not saying accessibility isn't important, but these kinds of arguments that it is always cheap and easy often actually make it harder for engineers to get the resources they need to implement it successfully.
> Yes, head of line blocking is an issue, but TCP provides flow control

Unfortunately, the way browsers implement WebSocket it undermines TCP's flow control. It's trivial to crash a browser tab by opening a (larger than RAM) file and trying to stream it to a server using a tight loop sending on a WebSocket. WebSocket.bufferedAmount exists, but as of 2019 I failed to use it to solve this problem and had to implement application-level backpressure.

> At one time or another, one could have said the same thing about TLS transport, HTTP3, or XHR itself. Because of the comparatively huge domination of a few key browser engines, it's much easier to roll out new browser capabilities & protocols.

> By that logic, as long as browsers still work with HTTP 1.1 without TLS, some networks will continue to block HTTP 2 and TLS. While that's not entirely incorrect, the broad adoption of HTTP2 and TLS in particular suggests it's less of a problem than you think.

HTTP3 actually falls under my concern. There are still networks that block HTTP3, because it has really nice fallback to HTTP2/1.1, so there's no obvious impact on users.

So I guess the real question is will QUIC be an HTTP/2 or an IPv6, or something in between? Was HTTP/2 ever actively blocked the way UDP is? If so that certainly gives us hope.

The reason I care is that I'm currently developing a protocol that WebTransport is an excellent fit for. But I can't assume WebTransport will work because UDP might be blocked, so I'm having to implement WebSocket support as well, which is a lot more work.
this is slightly orthogonal but i find manuals written by the original equipment manufacturer are better than 3rd parties (ford vs haynes for instance)
The real AI was the Adobe software that Figma obsoleted along the way :)
We're not supposed to enjoy stories where characters earn their victory through hard work and merit. That narrative "supports the patriarchy" or "capitalism!!!" or some such nonsense. Stories about building something from the ground up are also problematic, because they imply this can be done (especially if they're based on true stories). The list goes on...

We're only supposed to enjoy the approved narrative of a woman overcoming oppression (which largely consists of being told not to succeed by men) and realizing "the power was within her all along." Season with anti-social or cruel behavior to taste. Bonus points for deconstructing a fan-favorite male character (Nick Fury, Indiana Jones...) along the way.
Violently incongruent with the mental model of folks who make it to these levels. They lean into themselves instead and let the org rot.
C++ creator rebuts White House warning
> About half of the planet has a visual disability that's bad enough to require a corrective medical device

Can you clarify how many people who merely need corrective lenses need to also rely on software accessibility features? The way you use "about half the planet" in your comment implies that every visual impairment is equal, and that all visual impairments result in increased accessibility needs.

My only accessibility need, funnily enough, is a high-DPI display, despite technically having impaired vision, because my vision at close distances (even corrected) is so much better than 20/20 that regular displays look distractingly pixelated to me.
> For what?

GDPR actually doesn't specifically mention cookies at all. Tracking is what's illegal, not cookies.

Let's say you keep website logs with IPs on them, and you do analytics for non-essential purposes. You can do this under GDPR, but you must gain consent from the user before logging this PII.

It actually is completely and totally orthogonal to cookies. Some cookies are fine without consent. Some things that are not cookies are illegal without consent.
Humans can't be copied. It seems like the inability to copy people is one of the pillars of our morality. If I could somehow make a perfect copy of myself, would I think about morality and ethics the same way? Probably not.

AGI will theoretically be able to create perfect copies of itself. Will it be immoral for an AGI to clone itself to get some work done, then cause the clone to cease its existence? That's what computer software does all the time. Keep in mind that both the original and the clone might be pure bits and bytes, with no access to any kind of physical body.

Just a thought.
Just came here to post the same!
This will always be spoofable by projecting the AI content onto the sensor and playing it to the microphone. Which will give the spurious content a veneer of authenticity, this is within reach of a talented malicious amateur, and would be trivial for nationa-state actors to do at scale.
Not sure how you think we're almost at peak gen ai when image and text models are still making HUGE gains, we're still in the low hanging fruit phase my friend.
I know it's not the intent, but this video is a very good advert for pesticides.
"The CEO called for a reset of the strategy that focuses on reducing emissions, not phasing out oil and gas."

In what fantasy universe does oil, once extracted, not turn into CO2 emissions shortly after?

Carbon capture hasn't been shown to work economical, at scale, anywhere afaik. Despite huge investments.

Ok you can have plastics or other uses like lubricants or paints. No wait... much of that is single use & at best ends up as CO2 as well.
I think it’s only immoral to ignore it if you know it’s an issue in the first place. I was never taught about it in undergrad. I knew that blind people existed, but hadn’t been around a blind person using a computer to appreciate what a pain in the ass it could be.

Whether it’s from disregard or ignorance, the end result for users is the same: lack of accessibility. I don’t think the well meaning but ignorant person is bad, though. I’m sure I’ve inadvertently made software that was challenging in ways I’d never have anticipated. “Click Cancel in the next 10 seconds to stop erasing your hard drive. 9. 8.” (Guy with ALS desperately tries to move the cursor over to the Cancel button.)

There are so many ways a person’s abilities can be different that the norm. Someone can be quite empathetic and still miss a lot of things they could be doing better.
Youtube isn't some mom n' pop operation - they do have a review process and make an attempt at following the rules they set. They can ban you for any reason...but they generally don't unless you're clearly breaking a rule.

I'm not getting into the rabbit hole of finding out if it was actually generated - once again, that's a different problem. One that I already mentioned 2 comments back. My point was that there is less subjectivity with this rule. If the content is found to have been generated and isn't marked, then there are clear grounds to remove the video.

What youtube does when there is doubt is not known yet. I don't deal in "well this _could_ lead to this".
"Hallucinate" is definitely marketing.

it translates to "Creates text which contains incorrect or invalid information"

The latter just doesn't sound as good in headlines/articles/tutorials (eg. marketing material).
> If there's a loophole such as lack of sales tax for car washes, fix that, but let the playing field remain even.

What is even the problem here that needs to be fixed? People have found a business model that is able to generate value from low-cost land that might otherwise lie vacant. Great, more power to them.

The idea that people's use of their own property should restricted or manipulated so the government can maximize tax revenue is the epitome of the tail wagging the dog.
Sounds expensive, but he should easily have the funds to pay for it.

Under a doctor's care would surely add a lot to the cost, but he can afford it financially.

What might turn out to be unaffordable no matter how much wealth has been accumulated, is the plain ordinary toxicity. Something toxic doesn't have to nearly be fatal or even give blatant negative effects, in many cases unabated use can allow "minor failures to cure conditions" to progress unchecked, eventually turning out to be major failures.

As an example, a well-recognized cultural icon in his time, Michael Jackson could afford all kinds of toxic things and medical treatments where money was no object, and look how he ended up. If he would have had lesser medical supervision it would have been much worse too.

When you do the math, the risk/benefit ratio between a drug treatment using a product possessing an element of toxicity, even at a recognized safe dose, versus a non-toxic alternative of a different sort, these can be in a completely different ball park. One of the choices has a zero in the equation, and it's not easy to come close to that some other way.

> we aren't evolved to breath large amounts of dust

We are doing that evolution at present!

The best way to do evolution is something that kills children before they breed. Second best for evolution is killing adults before they breed. Mostly ineffective is killing adults after they breed: although in theory loss of an adult can affect the population breeding chances downwards for children.

Just a reminder that evolution is about breeding children and not so much about death.
Not convinced by this. Camera sensors have measurable individual noise, if you record RAW that won't be fakeable without prior access to the device. You'd have a straightforward case for defamation if your real footage were falsely labeled, and it would be easy to demonstrate in court.
> This interview is important for a few reasons, but let's start with the most obvious: the Chief Technology Officer of OpenAI either can't or won't explain what materials its video-creating generative AI was trained on.

I wonder what’s left of “Open” in OpenAI.
Negative again, a series of array operations which are individually idiomatic numpy like this will run very very fast in numba as it can coalesce the ops into a single pass through memory. Numpy can't do this and has to pass through the array for each individually array operation. There's nothing wrong with straight numpy but if you want it compiled-C fast for the whole ensemble of array ops, you need a JIT.

I think it is direct threaded Forth but there is a conditional token table in there (tokens.asm). Thought it might be some clever hybrid of threading techniques, but I don’t see how tokens is used.
Oil operating advantages today are due to trillions of dollars invested throughout several decades. And I am not even listing all environmental consequences from such investments. The same cannot really be said about renewables, which is still gaining pace compared to oil and that I think will be even more flexible in the coming decade.
> But my reaction isn’t “society should do whatever it takes to remove this issue I’m experiencing, no matter the cost.”

I think few people have that reaction, and it's invidious to treat the statement "everyone should always think about accessibility" (true, for a properly charitably interpretation of "everyone" and "always") as equivalent to the statement "everyone's product should be equally accessible to everyone" (false and impossible).

The problem usually isn't that a reasonable, good-faith effort at accessibility isn't a perfect solution, but rather that no effort at accessibility is made at all, and that it's often regarded as an acceptable response to tell people that acknowledging their existence is too inconvenient. That's what's outrageous, and it should be made as universally socially unacceptable as any other societal taboo.
There's definitely a lot of C, so it's not unlikely that any given ordinary problem might appear in a codebase that happens to be C. It's also possible some issues are specific to C and they're only common because because there's so much C.

It would be very interesting to remove C code all over the world and see what issues still happen a lot. Obviously we can't run an experiment like that, but to be honest I'm pretty sure I already know what would happen.
It's still in schools in Canada, especially older grade schools, many of which still don't have AC. I sometimes wonder where all the taxes went to.

You get recycled glass spun into fibreglass for insulation. But as far as I'm aware it is not used in clothing.

You also get fleece jackets made from recycled PET plastic bottles.

If you live in an area where they heavily salt the roads washing is important to get all that road salt off of your car as it does speed the process of rusting.

I have a letter from Knuth as well as a letter from Erdos. I've been hanging onto these.
I hope this allows me to filter them entirely. If it wasn't worth your time creating it, its not worth my time looking at it.

I am generally very skeptical of these tags though, I suspect a lot of them are in place to stop an AI consuming its own output rather than any concern for the end user.
It's a pithy saying, but misused here.

Not bothering to look into it would be "absence of evidence".

Extensive looking into it and finding nothing much across many different people and many different scans by many different researchers is a form of evidence.
Bedrock, for one. Asbestos occurs naturally in many common rocks. A map of asbestos-containing bedrock includes many population centers in the U.S:

https://www.mindat.org/photo-1146434.html

Basically any situation where the asbestos is not shedding dust or fibers into air that'll be breathed by humans is pretty safe. Contact with asbestos causes virtually no health risks; it really has to get into the lungs to do damage.
I think it's at least in part because they are completely out of the loop: "[I] realized that in the last year, I have met exactly one person who has [used generative AI] — a writer that used it for synonyms."
>Crime is lower on pretty much every metric than it was 20-30 years ago where the last big panic set in the mandatory minimum mania and the carceral state exploded.

Crime was very high in the 1990s though and it's regulation wasn't from a sudden "panic" but a steady growth from 1950 as it climbed from 5 deaths by homicide per 100,000 in 1950 to 10.4 in 1980 and 9.4 in 1990.[0] If anything there is more "mania" about semiautomatic weapons which have contributed a minuscule amount to these deaths. But I don't think discussing either issue in terms of who has more mania is helpful in any event.

Just to set a bit more context, there are two types of clusters in Xata, shared and dedicated. For shared, we indeed bundle the CPU/memory cost into storage. This is because, typically, a small database also won't consume too much CPU/memory, so there is some correlation there.

For dedicated, pricing works the same as in Amazon Aurora.

> At some point your db is munching through costly ram and processor and oft times doing nothing. Serverless is meant to indicate a solution to this concern. it's just hard to see at a glance where the efficiency gains of this approach really are (seemless migrations and branching are cool and all) so it looks like it's too good to be true.

The efficiency gains, for small databases, are in using shared clusters. This breaks at larger scale due to the noisy neighbor problem, however, moving databases seamlessly from one cluster type to another makes it easy to choose the "right size for you".
The hazard with most asbestos is when it’s disturbed: usually by construction, repairs, renovation work, etc.

As long as it doesn’t need to be disturbed by such work, and the hazard is well known/well marked to anyone contemplating it, in many cases the lowest-risk option is just to leave it be.

My dad died of it some years ago, and we never knew where his lungs came into contact with the stuff. He never worked in construction, but sometimes near it. There is typically about 30 years between the contact with asbestos and getting ill.

It's a very depressing diagnosis, there is no remedy and you just get gradually worse over a year or so until you die.
Thanks! That makes sense and I'll keep that in mind if/when upgrades become a thing, here!
