> It's as awful as it sounds.

Well to me it sounds like you'd get heat stroke and pass out before anything reaches particularly painful temperatures, because it's heating you pretty evenly and not via contact, but maybe that's not the right way to think about it?

At higher frequencies I would guess it gets closer to normal burning?
Ah no problem. Just a sketch..

Looking at C2PA, I'd now use "claim" to describe those tags. They're short and human readable but not self-contained. They'd have to be authenticated with tool signing to be very useful. As it also emphasizes, it's about establishing trust for a domain, eg can Samsung photo signing be trusted?

Eg for a normal photo, your device could sign it with.. and OTP coordinated with the manufacturer? Then include the signing metadata in the EXIF tags of the image. To validate, you send the image+signed_claims to manufacturer and they know the OTPs (?) and can verify the signing

Doesn't make it unforgeable, bc you could intercept the hardware otp/signing protocol.. but would raise the cost quite a bit. Maybe with frequent key resets you can raise this further

Something like that sounding more useful?
Providing diff output allows people to self select their approach to merging the changes.
Looking for something else, I stumbled onto the first of these "ads" (for a game called The Finals) called "Quests". Their "home" where they display the biggest is User Settings > Gift Inventory. It may also sometimes appear as a banner just above the "voice chat status". Apparently it is more likely to show up if you've played the game in question or are streaming in a chat channel. You can hide an individual banner from the ellipsis menu and Hide Me. You can disable the Quests feature entirely from User Settings > Privacy & Safety > In-game Rewards (aka Quests).

Here's the full official documentation on Quests (with screenshots of all the above):

Skydiving nationally is less risky than rock climbing (even in the gym) but a factor of like 5-7 iirc. If my local gym had this high fatality rate they'd probably have to shutdown because they wouldn't be able to obtain insurance.

There could have been just as many or more ridiculous failures in the past, you just didn't have a chance to read about them with your coffee.

There’s a ton of reliable published stats and there’s nothing dubious about them.
In addition, there’s the knowledge that what happens next is likely to be expensive, no matter how it resolves. A letter from a lawyer? There goes a rent payment.
This seems like a great idea! It was in fact a major focus on effort by basically everyone from about 1988 until 2004... This was the idea behind Microsoft's COM, IBMs SOM, smalltalk, Objective C and Openstep, many different projects at apple, and many more places.

It failed for reasons that are obvious in retrospect. Creating a system where you can embed one app in another requires everyone to agree the interface standard. But the interface is extremely complicated! You have to pass arbitrary data between two applications, and do so quickly. You also have to decide on how much the apps are isolated from each other (getting it wrong creates either massive security failures, or performance that is way too low). You also have to deal with such issues as how to synch the user interfaces!

So any such system is going to be extremely complicated, and getting everyone to agree on standards is almost impossible. What standards do get created are so complicated that they become unusable except for very stereotyped use cases. The other alternative is when a single company forces a standard down everyone's throat. But that creates the problem of vendor lock in, so people tend to reject that!

There are in fact a couple of notable successes. The most obvious is the digital sound market, which btw is a really interesting software market because there is huge competition. There are 4 major DAWs (digital audio workstations), and a number of still used minor DAWs, plus lots of companies that make synths, effects, tools you name it. And they all get sold! A huge amount of this software is in the form of "plugins" apps that run in the DAW as a container. This works because the interaction between plugins is a) similiar to unix pipelines (it forms a directed acyclic graph), so the interation is relatively controlled, and b) there are two standard data interchange methods. One is raw sound data in the form of 32 bit 48 kbs PCM, and the other is midi (a form from the early 80s for controlling synths). The user interface problem was solved in the easiest way... there is no user interface specification, or library, and every app has to roll its own interface (which it does by just using bitmaps... you end up with the most horrribly skeuomorphic designs you've ever seen!). There are actually 3 different standards for interfacing with the DAW, but one VST is dominant. Moreover, because of the simplicity of the data exchange format, the interfaces are actually quite simple to use, if you know about the weird world of audio programming.

The other success story is Microsoft Office. Office is based on MS's tech for creating components, known as com. When you a draw a graph in word or excel, you're actually using a different little app that draws graphs... and you can embed that in your own (windows) app. But COM is extremely complicated, and com components are almost used in apps specifically designed to be part of Office. There's a fairly big ecosystem of these apps (or there was) but its very tightly controlled and integrated by Microsoft.
There are significant feature differences that enterprise users consider dealbreakers just between MS Office for Windows and MS Office for Mac, let alone Office clones.

"Communism" is not like the others in one important sense: all regimes that have been or are called communist derive from the same one source, namely the Russian Bolsheviks. Of all the people who called themselves communist, only they have succeeded in taking power and holding it long enough to entrench. Consequently, every subsequent communist revolution elsewhere was largely bankrolled by them, and they made sure that everyone they supported adopted their ideology - even if there were later breaks over detail, the fundamentally authoritarian core of Bolshevism always remains. This is, of course, quite different from capitalism, which has evolved organically in many places in parallel.

(It should also be noted that whether "feudalism" is even a thing that can be meaningfully defined is contentious, and many modern historians consider it a largely nonsensical retroactive attempt to fit very diverse systems and patterns into a single category.)

In general, look up "libertarian socialism" - it is an umbrella term for left anarchists of various stripes as well as more moderate socialists who don't shy away from some degree of centralization but still place a lot of emphasis on avoiding any kind of authoritarianism as crucial to success of any such political system. I would particularly draw attention to Murray Bookchin and his "libertarian municipalism", not the least because Le Guin herself did in later prefaces to her books.

For real-world examples, something along these lines (but less, shall we say, theoretically pure - which shouldn't come as a surprise!) has been practiced for a while in the Chiapas in EZLN-affiliated communities, and more recently also in AANES (Rojava). As you rightly note, the real question there is how well it all would scale to a modern industrialized society - Chiapas are pretty rural, Rojava somewhat less so but still hardly comparable to what first-worlders are generally used to. It's also interesting to note that the Rojava take on it is a milder version where e.g. cooperatives are encouraged but there are still plenty of privately owned businesses.

I have absolutely not posited the barriers as "irrational". Artificial market segmentation, and increasing value of product through human artistry are increasingly common and not necessarily "irrational". There are any number of products on the market that machine can make better, but we value more highly when it's made by human... in fact, that's true of a very large proportion of products, marketed as "handcrafted" or, since it's 2024, "artisanal and rustic" et cetera :-)

(the line of where "handcrafted" goes from "friendly and community and positive and encouraging neighbourhood entrepreneurs" to "evil and scheming and big-corpo-deceptive" is subjective evaluation, but none of them necessitate "irrational" let alone, as is implied, "stupid")

Actually it would trigger the first time you use something after moving and it's pretty obvious what happened because the data structure will have null pointers.

This is very rare and usually just due to a typo in practice because moving a variable in the middle of function is mostly to pass it to another function as an argument so it will be cleaned up when the function is done.

How often does this happen to you? Do you work in modern C++? I've never heard of this actually tripping anyone up.

>Not that watching the safety video would have helped in this case, as the instructor was not properly trained and vetted in the first place.

The article is a little vague about the failure but I'm a skydiver and this might not be the instructor's fault. I know that sounds insane but hear me out.

The article says "main and reserve parachutes had tangled, preventing either from opening". This could mean a few things:

1. Neither chute was ever deployed - "total malfunction" on main and reserve where they're both stuck in the container (backpack thing holding the parachute).

An instructor following perfect protocol with a poorly packed reserve would have died here, and they likely did not pack the reserve themselves. Reserve chutes are packed by a master rigger who's required to apply a seal and update a little paper record on each rig indicating when it was packed and by whom. These are meant to be checked before you're allowed to get on a plane. Reserves are (thankfully) rarely opened until they're due to be repacked based on time. There's overlap between master riggers and instructors who handle tandem jumps, but the reserve was most likely not packed by that instructor.

2. Main deployed but has a "partial malfunction" (out but not fully open), reserve then deployed and tangles with the main.

This would be the instructors fault - in this case they should cut away the main before deploying the reserve.

3. Main has a "total malfunction" where it doesn't come out at all, instructor deploys reserve, then main deploys late and tangles with the reserve.

This one is inconclusive but probably not the instructor's fault. Protocol here is don't waste time cutting your main because you're falling fast with no drag from a partially deployed chute and the main is unlikely to ever open. The reason it could still be the instructors fault is if they had a chance to cut away the main after it came out and failed to do so before they tangled.

I’m keen to understand what features you found lacking in the web version of Office. My initial impressions aligned with yours; however, upon recent usage, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by its extensive feature set. While advanced data extraction capabilities in Excel are notably absent, the web version otherwise provides a comprehensive array of functionalities.

Property and trading existed for most of the history of humanity, but capitalism is a much more recent phenomenon.

Capitalism specifically requires private property rights on capital (i.e. means of production) - hence the name. And it requires those rights to be unrestricted in a sense that anyone can freely trade capital, and thus it is possible to amass and concentrate it, thereby creating a class of those who have it distinct from those who do not, which in turn allows the former to collect economic rent from the productive work of the latter.

Buckaroo started as a lowcode UI with an accompanying table. The low code UI lets you click on columns and perform actions (drop, fillNA, groupby). The dataframe is then modified, AND python code to perform the same action is emitted. Controlling the lowcode UI through keyboard shortcuts should be fairly straightforward.

The other feature I have played with in this area is auto-cleaning. Auto-cleaning looks at individual columns and emits cleaning commands to the low-code UI. Different cleaning strategies can be implemented and toggled through.

Buckaroo takes the view that being opinionated is good, so long as you can toggle through opinions to get the right combination of cleaning, display, or post-processing that you are looking for quickly. All of the features of buckaroo are also built to be easily extendable by users.

This feature saw very little use, so I haven't developed it much (I had to disable it after some refactorings). The lowcode UI is demonstrated at the end of the youtube video linked above.
For me Linux is so much better a user experience due to the lack of bloat in the operating system. Microsoft seems to be getting more and more intrusive with its data collection, in addition. Furthermore, being a foreign government that has been subject to US espionage in the past, I'm sure it's better for Germany to use an open source OS rather than US-state back software system.

Btw, if you've tried fine-tuning OpenAI models before January and came away unimpressed with the quality of the finished model, it's worth trying again. They made some unannounced changes in the last few months that make the fine-tuned models much stronger.

That said, we've found that Mixtral fine-tunes still typically outperform GPT-3.5 fine tunes, and are far cheaper to serve. This next part is a bit of a plug, but I honestly think we have the simplest platform to fine-tune multiple models (both API-based like OpenAI as well as open source alternatives) side by side and compare quality. https://openpipe.ai

Returning merchandise should be illegal and allowing returns is basically a privately levied tax on those who make good purchase decisions and a subsidy to the impulse buyer.
This is by design and it wouldn't make sense otherwise. It would be crazy if 50 legal jurisdictions just happened to all reach the same wrong conclusion. Driving a car non-negligently carries an inherent risk that you will kill someone and this risk is borne by all drivers. And we've decided that this risk is acceptable and legal to take on. You are explicitly allowed to do a thing that has a non-zero chance of killing someone else.

It would be ridiculous if we locked up the people who happened to kill others while not driving particularly dangerously. Justice is not being served by locking up the unfortunate unlucky sods while everyone else is engaging in the exact same risky behavior. It's why cops are unlikely to go after someone who say killed someone while speeding a not crazy amount; the thousands of drivers that go by every other day are doing the same thing. But they will throw the book at the statistical outliers of dangerous driving.

tbh, if microsoft lands AGI, and I have a feeling, that somehow Microsoft might do whatever it can to get first dibs, assuming OpenAI gets to AGI first, at which point Microsoft could own the world, or galaxy...assuming no other intelligent species has AI yet... Microsoft already said that if openai failed tomorrow, nothing would change w/ their AI offerings because they have ALL the code, and I'm assuming Sam signed away his soul to get all the server usage they could want, which includes the rights to openai tech. I'm not a microsoft hater, I'm just saying from a govt standpoint - i'd be wary of any company that could get to AGI, because they can get to ASI too soon after, and from there, the term monopoly just goes out the window. If a program's purpose is to do everything and anything, no matter what it is... like, how can it exist in the market without also destroying everything else.

disclaimer, didn't read the article - just insight on why govt might be a little timid about Microsoft or any big AI players, at least the closer we get to AGI. I'm also not an AGI hater, in fact I can't wait (immortality tech next), just some conjecture...
The "bubble" you're speaking of now is completely divorced from reality in both directions, as the doomer narrative spread across the blogosphere/news world with the recent inflection talent acquisition and the issues with stability.ai/emad.

The truth is that foundation model companies, while in the limelight now, are probably the smallest slice of the pie, with cloud providers and end user applications going to take the lion share of the profit, and GPU manufacturers in line next. Foundation model companies got hyped because every VC wanted to invest in the company that might monopolize AGI, but in reality we're going to have a landscape dominated by fine tuned open source models in a few years, with closed source models being used for certain niches but generally not worth the cost.

Same here - there are 1000 options, across 15 tabs, and I have to look through all the icons and labels till I find the one, with active tab and even displayed options changing depending on content selection.... It's a constant battle if you don't spend hours a day in MS apps and develop muscle memory.

I do realize that there are probably no ideal UIs for accessing such a breadth of options, and it was a valid attempt, but not really successful, imo. With some adjustment and practice by users, I believe something like Alfred within the app, with smart search and suggestions, would be a quicker and more efficient approach for tool activation. Since there has to be also a good way to discover features without explicitly searching for them, maybe something like the Start menu is the right approach - quick search, but also categories and lists of tools.
