> I believe this helps because 0.02 is a double and [...] can produce a different answer

In principle, not quite. The real/unavoidable(-by-the-compiler) problem is that 0.02 is a not a diadic rational (not representable exactly as some integer over a power of two). So its representation (rounded to 52 bits) as a double is a different real number than its representation (rounded to 23 bits) as a float. (This is the same problem as rounding pi or e to a double/float, but people tend to forget that it applies to all diadic irrationals, not just regular irrationals.)

If, instead of `0.02f` you replaced `0.02` with `(double)0.02f` or `0.015625`, the optimization should in theory still apply (although missed optimization complier bugs are of course possible).
It's the perfect speed. It's around the upper speed of cycling somewhere like Copenhagen, so the people on e-bikes by too annoying for the people on bicycles.
Any form that doesn't have loose fibrils, microparticles, or dust.

I'd compare it to wood from walnut trees, which is perfectly safe to handle and use in dining tables, etc., but dust from its' woodworking is toxic.

My building still has some asbestos pipes. Removing that stuff can be expensive and annoying, so it is usually delayed again and again.
You might be underestimating the potential of an automated evolutionary programming system at discovering novel and surprising ways to do computation—ways that no human would ever invent. Humans may have a better distribution of entropy generation (i.e. life experience as an embodied human being), but compared to the rate at which a computer can iterate, I don't think that advantage will be maintained.

(Humans will still have to set the goals and objectives, unless we unleash an ASI and render even that moot.)
Most developers and designers are unfamiliar with a major portion of their jobs.

That says quite a bit about professionalism in the software development field.
That's a much clearer line though, it's much simpler to know if you were paid to create this content or not. Use of AI isn't, especially if it's deep in some tool you used.

Does blurring part of the image with Photoshop count? What if Photoshop used AI behind the scene for whatever filter you applied? What about some video editor feature that helps with audio/video synchronization or background removal?

The third one could easily be satire. Imagine that a politician is accused of stealing from the public purse, and issues a meme-worthy press statement denying it, and someone generates AI content of that politician claiming not to have stolen a car or something using a similar script.

Valid satire, fair use of the original content: parody is considered transformative. But it should be labeled as AI generated, or it's going to escape onto social media and cause havoc.

It might anyway, obviously. But that isn't a good reason to ban free expression here imho.
based on how it takes them 48+ hours to take down fake elon musk crypto doubling scams that get reported, i doubt this will help anyone.
Peak AI? No. Peak GenAI? Almost.

People keep equating GenAI with AI.
>AI has been trained on the generous gifts of the collective

Will be interesting to see how various copyright lawsuits pan out. In some ways I hope they succeed, as it would mean clawing back those gifts from an amorphous entity that would displace us (all?). In some ways I hope that we can resolve the gift problem by giving every human equity in the products produced by the collective value of the training data they produced.

>winner takes it all means economic and scientific stagnation

Given the apparent lack of awareness or knowledge of philosophy, history, or current events, it seems like a tough row to hoe getting the general public on board with this (correct) idea. Heck, we can't even pass a law overturning Citizens United, the importance of which is arguably even less abstract.

When the tide of stupidity grows insurmountable, and The People cannot be stopped from self-harm, you get collapse, and the only way to survive it is to live within a pocket of reason, to carry the torch of civilization forward as best you can.
I'm so old that I remember websites often had right clicking disabled so people couldn't copy the page text or wreck their bandwidth by hotlinking images.

Today that is achievable by nesting the content inside 10 layers of overlapping divs so nothing of value can be selected and copied to the clipboard. Instagram does this, you have to go into Dev Tools and find the exact DOM node to save an image.
An acquaintance was trying to argue that Lamborghini brakes contained asbestos. There are places where asbestos is the ideal engineering material but my guess is that brakes is not one of them.
Could you link some source? Do you know, if it's all buildings? I have a hard time imagining Eternit roofing on garages and barns going anywhere soon. I mean, would be really great, but asbestos is still all over the place.
I don't get the last part of your comment. They can know what they are doing but the costs might be a problem. There are added costs to supporting accessibility, that's just a fact. No level of competency would make adding accessibility features not more expensive. I can bet you that whatever code you've ever written isn't fully accessible. That's impossible, as accessibility is a spectrum.

The question is which features are a must and a bare minimum and which of them are not. If your job doesn't care about accessibility (which is bad, don't get me wrong) and doesn't pay you for adding say, colorblindness support or TTS, that has nothing to do with being competent.

Accessibility is also in huge part related to cultural context. Sure, blind people and people in wheelchairs exist everywhere, but as an example where I'm from literacy is not universal. People can read for the most part but some have a very hard time reading, and TTS doesn't solve the issue in my experience. Does your website support that? Does it support a lot of visual elements/videos instead of text? Or a simplified version of the language? Does it make you incompetent, and does it make sense to add a completely different UI mode for them? That's what I mean with it being a spectrum.

- trying to raise at $1B, wrap google search in production and resell foundation model APIs as core business while "taking on" google everyday in PR and massive social media shillings, and claiming to have "large index" in technical blog. -> Threanos

- low user retention rate (high stickiness from certain user group like students) and growth (in volume) is highly correlated with PRs. Core business unit economics does not work and likely never going to work. -> Wework

- CEO character is highly questionable. badmouthing google everyday (while his product scrapes google data for every single user request..), pick fights with people on twitter for attentions, lie to employees (comments from Glassdoor), censoring negative feedback on reddit, massive shillings like crypto ICO, suspecting academic fraud on paper (Blind)..

> Altering footage of real events or places: Such as making it appear as if a real building caught fire, or altering a real cityscape to make it appear different than in reality.

What about the picture you see before clicking on the actual video? This article of course is addressing the content of the videos, but I can't help but look at the comically cartoonish, overly dramatic -- clickbait -- picture preview of the video.

For example, there is a video about a tornado that passed close to a content author and the author posts video captured by their phone. In the preview image, you see the author "literally getting sucked into a tornado". Is that "altered and synthetic content"?

Nonsense. It isn't marketing speak to cover for anything. It's a pretty good description of what is happening.

The reason models hallucinate is because we train them to produce linguistically plausible output, which usually overlaps well with factually correct output (because it wouldn't be plausible to say e.g. "Barack Obama is white"). But when there isn't much data to show that something that is totally made up is implausible then there's no penalty to the model for it.

It's nothing to do with not being able to understand your request, and it's rarely because the training data is wrong.
It's not about saving costs. When you don't know how you're gonna pay next month salaries and bills, you don't have mental capacity to think about screen readers, font sizes or whatever

My brother in law is a manager at a ~15,000 person software company that is a heavy Microsoft shop. He said they received a license discount if they added Github copilot for all of their (many thousands) of engineers. Essentially it would have cost more not to enable Copilot.

We thought the reason this happened was so MS could goose their "paid" user accounts for Copilot to make the revenue look better, with the hope that his company would eventually see the utility of Copilot and then pay for it voluntarily once the next license renewal comes up.

He doesn't hate Copilot but the consensus is they will not be willing to pay for it on the next renewal, it isn't really that useful (so far).

Just today, I was making a product landing page and wanted it to be accessible. Since we have Instagram, YouTube, and GitHub, I wanted to get the icons from those sources. I looked at how to ensure that with SVG and found this SO [1].

While YouTube does not supply SVGs, the SVGs from Instagram [2] and GitHub [3] did not include any a11y metadata. I was really surprised by this, given the massive user bases thereof, both consumer and developer. Maybe that's because it's not universal what should be there?

So I had to insert it myself. I was scared to make a repo sharing these changes, but I will drop the GitHub one here:

In `<svg>` element I added:

Nested inside I put:

Thanks for the question!

For context, the shim is just an implementation detail of how containerd runs workloads; some come pre-built by default on some systems (like runc), and others you configure (like kata-containers, or in this case, the Spin shim); and some Kubernetes distros already have built-in shims (or will have soon), like k3s.

Your setup seems to work really well for you (and as a side note, I'm curious to learn more about the kinds of workloads you are running) — I'll note that you can also set the runtime class on a regular Kubernetes deployment / pod spec and you can run the workload like this with the Spin shim (for reference https://github.com/spinkube/containerd-shim-spin/blob/main/d...).

For Spin, we focused on the end-to-end developer experience, and on building a set of tools that take advantage of the benefits you get from Wasm, while integrating with a lot of cloud native tools — while allowing you to more easily build APIs and event-driven functions.

Our goal with SpinKube is to integrate with how organizations run workloads on in their infrastructure, and to make building, distributing, and running Wasm as seamless as possible.

Happy to dive into details for any of the points above, and would love to learn more about what you are running as Wasm.

Thanks!
That's what I'm hoping for.

I had an outbreak of erythrodermic psoriasis (usually just have mild plaque psoriasis) over the winter and had it all over my trunk, arms and legs - approx 80% coverage. Luckily it wasn't as severe as it could be (no hospitalisation necessary), but I had a lot of trouble with body heat regulation for a while.

I ended up using topical steroids which cleared it up remarkably quickly, but am now trying to reduce my usage of that (stopping steroids can be a trigger for erythrodermic psoriasis) which has led to it becoming more pronounced again.
In this case it is, because labelled deceit is not deceptive.
One "alternative" encoding I've tried is just saving an HTML file as a UTF-16 file, then just simply save the binary data as a UTF-16 string in a javascript block. A few characters need to be escaped, such as quotation mark, backslash and newline, as well as unmatched surrogate pairs. The unmatched surrogate pairs eat up 12 bytes instead of 2 bytes when you write them as \uXXXX.
That's fine, if you want to say consciousness itself is an illusion, no physicalist interpretation blah blah, knock yourself out. I know that I'm a conscious being, and, reasoning by analogy, I'm more than happy to credit other mammalian life (and perhaps even other animals) with consciousness.

Yeah but they own the factories and ship the parts in their own specially built planes.
Remember that the NIH does not publish (edit: to be clearer this is the National Library of Medicine which falls under the umbrella of the NIH, and its URL), it just organizes articles like a local library but on a much larger scale. It's a common misconception. This article was published by the British Medical Journal as an interesting anecdote from a physical therapist. The NIH makes things available for searching but does not endorse anything that they have available.
Yes, pretty much. They're made by a process called fractionation which is basically a mill (a blender if you like) and then clever air classification and centrifuge so that the constituent parts get separated by weight.

Sounds like I will finally be able to move mastodon servers without losing the last year of interactions I’ve had! I moved once before and while my followers moved, my content did not. The old account stayed there with all my content, with no direct link to my new profile unless I added it as a link in my new profile.

My current server has been very slow and I’ve wanted to move. I’ll wait till this is fully deployed and then give it a shot!
It's also under-appreciated how risky many common substances are when ground or cut. Cutting concrete, for example, can cause silicosis of the lungs[1] if precautions aren't taken. Wood dust is also potentially carcinogenic[2].

I was surprised too. Then I checked my ryzen laptop and .... yep, max speed 6GHz.

I recently read this article (https://materializedview.io/p/from-samza-to-flink-a-decade-o...) about Flink and it commented on Flink grew to fit all of these different use cases (applications, analytics and ETL) with disjoint requirements that Confluent built kafka-streams, ksql and connector for.

I agree: the comment was on-topic, included technical information (dual table?), and AI accuracy/usefulness is of interest to most readers. Maybe in a year I'll think such a comment is bad, but not today.

I just laugh and roll my eyes when people claim that AI produces very little value.

Chat AI is a useful product with many individual users who pay because they get value from it.

Maybe it can’t autonomously execute business processes,
yet, but it’s an absolute superpower for learning anything new.

Having an AI is like having 24/7 access to an expert on any subject. This expert isn’t always right, and is a bit of an idiot sometimes, but having immediate access to their knowledge is powerful. How do people not see this?
We have that, it's called DNT. Unfortunately companies argue that:

- it's set globally for a browser but a user might want to give away their privacy to my specific site

... and show the banner anyway
Meanwhile I’m paid for editing a single line of code in 2 weeks, and nothing less than singularity will replace me.

But sure, call me back when AI will actually reason about possible race conditions, instead of spewing out the definition of one it got from wikipedia.
It's useful for normal plaque psoriasis, but I'm currently recovering from an erythrodermic psoriasis episode and UV light is not recommended for that. Psoriasis can be a tricky condition, as too much UV light (i.e. sunburn) can trigger it - UV therapy usually has to be carefully controlled.

This is the second time in as many weeks I have seen someone ask if a process which essentially cannot go in reverse has “peaked.” Makes as much sense as asking if this is peak FLOPS-per-dollar. The only think I can think of that could cause us to reach peak AI would be a meteor.
Trying to shovel in "and all of the other stuff" breaks the analogy though. Misinformation isn't new. Image gen is hardly the first time you could create a fictional depiction of something. It's not even the first time you could do it with commonly available tools. It's just the moral panic du jour.

YouTube did this because the EU passed a law about it. The EU passed a law about it because of the moral panic, not because the abstract concept of deception was only recently invented.

It's like having cars already, and speed limits, and then someone invents an electric car that can accelerate from 0 to 200 MPH in 5 seconds, so the government passes a new law with some arbitrary registration requirements to satisfy Something Must Be Done.
In short - both, depending on the clients :)
I've been reading about WebRTC, does anyone actually know if browser to browser communication actually works reliably in practice ? Specifically NAT traversal, been hesitant to research it further because of this issue, seems that most of the connection parts seem to be legacy voip related protocols.
You don't understand!

C is a native language of computer

When C code is being executed then semiconductors are well aware of it and perform their work more reliably and faster due to nativness.

Such a phenomen doesnt occur when the code is executed in some kind of VM or is an result of translation of some impure higher level language.

C has no flaws, it just offers pure power, but people do not read all those hundreds of pages of secure coding guidelines.

Other (childish) languages decided that they will fight security issues at technology level (type system, compiler, good stdlib), but here in C we write code that runs at scale, so we must approach challenges in scalable way and guess what - what scales better than humans? nothing! thus every C programmer must learn how to write safe code without relying on technology that can be bugged/flawed, etc.

You might think that data shows that this approach doesn't work, but this is a fallacy!

Hackers find this many issues because C-based software is thousands of times more valuable than software written in impure languages, so in reality if you put the same kind of effort into breaking into Java/C#/Rust-based systems as you do when attacking pure C system, then you'll find at least orders of magnitude more CVEs
IANAL. I think you'd get copyright on the melody and the recording, but not the sound font that the AI created.
