Don't worry about that. Everyone else will also have an AI Pin. So everyone(except me) will be yelling into a microphone. I support this wholeheartedly. This is the kind of chaotic dystopian future I want.
It can be both. There can be systemic issues but you can also look at someone with a Bachelor's in Contemporary French Literature or Gender Studies or Political Science (me) and say "that was pretty dumb of you." Being able to look at that objectively doesn't mean it's feelings but that was a pretty good attempt at turning that around.
And? Seriously, who cares?
Of the qualities of an EV this is about the least important I can imagine. Aggressive acceleration does not make or break a good car.

For most people comfort is an important factor, there torque is irrelevant. Well tuned suspension, steering, high quality seats and a good infotainment system is important for that.
Affinity Is All You Need
Vector Databases are great. Semantically searching for information and advanced re-ranking have made incredible search engines like perplexity, cohere and Marqo possible. Although, they have a fundamental problem everyone seems to ignore. We're querying from unstructured data that may not always be semantically similar! Now stick with me here.

How it is right now:
AI search is like trying to find you're favorite video game from a massive bargain bin. You approximately guess where it is, shove your hand in, and pray to god you pull out that game.

How it should be:
Lets take a video game I'm trying to find as an example. I know a couple factors, its a fantasy | action | single-player | RPG | with a detailed character creation | a masterful modding community | and something about a Golden Claw? Hmm.

But i forgot the name of the game...(Some of you probably figured it out)

Vector databases will pull up all sorts of snippets of information querying for each relevant factor, and its the job of the llm to find similarities between these snippets at the exact time of inference. That's a lot of bargain bin diving for each query!

What we need to do is pre-processing of unstructured data. We need to create relationships (affinities) between our snippets of information that connect semantically disassociated pieces together (Something semantic search will fail). All we then do is retrieve which video game has an affinity to all our factors. We quite possible now have a way to retrieve targeted pieces of information with pin point accuracy.

Not just that, we can now work our way back to prove why the chosen video game is the best possible answer. We can even take slightly different directions to recommend similar video games!

We are now also guaranteed to retrieve ALL of the relevant information, rather than just the top n-documents within an embedding distance, possibly missing out on crucial tid-bits.

Pre-processing our unstructured data into an affinities format can leave us with MUCH faster inferencing and cheaper operating costs and we can get away with much lighter post-processing steps.

This is what I'm working on and hope to have a working MVP API anyone can use to convert their conversational LLMs, into truly personal assistants with dynamic long-term memory of your emotions, experiences, relationships, preferences, aspirations, and more. Keep a look out for Affinity AI.

P.S The game was Skyrim!
We (I am one, though fortunate to have excellent insurance) really are not one such group.

I am not a fan of the American healthcare system. Navigating it takes brains and effort that shouldn't be required. But if you have them it is essentially not possible to die here from lack of healthcare, and it's possible but surprisingly difficult to go bankrupt (except from lost wages, which is also a leading cause of bankruptcy in the UK).
unless you were already working for free, then yes, they can.
huh...I always thought of the US as a republic with some democratic features. I mean that's why we have things like the electoral college. Your voice influences but doesn't not actually drive.
> he emailed spreadsheets filled with data for hundreds of thousands of U.S. users to ByteDance workers in Beijing. That data included names, email addresses, IP addresses, and geographic and demographic information of TikTok U.S. users, he says

Clearly to the one who wrote this, the only way to send "hundreds of thousands of multidimensional data" is sending a email with the "spreadsheets".
If the degree they grant you doesn't help you to get a job that can pay back the loan it cost to get the degree, how can it be said to be worth it? Certainly not in a financial sense.
My reply was to erikerikson, who I there directly quoted. Just because y'all jumped in in their stead does not make you authorities on their opinion. That said, I've been happy to disagree with the exact points you've made whenever you've made them. (Excepting, I suppose, your comment about the spirit of the edit, which I have no way to reasonably contest)
Well you haven't ensured that. You're responding to an individual poster, not the entire US.

The non-stupid reverse would be not to deny the requests for non-macs? So you'd have a mix of Dell Inspirons (or whatever) and MacBooks according to what was requested; some Edge users, some Chrome/Firefox but on Windows or Linux users, etc.
'Original glory' could be defined as "on original hardware on a screen where the graphics looks as they're supposed to instead of being stretched and changed in all sorts of ways"
In this banal set of metaphors it would have to be something else. There may arguably be some mysteries with respect to how deep learning is effective, but its precise mechanistic explanation as a series of operations on a processor is not mysterious. There is not presently a quantum theory of gravity (in fact, I'd argue that despite the practical successes of QFT there isn't really a theory of quantum mechanics _either_ in the sense that algebraic quantum field theories of non-trivial character are so far elusive and no one knows what quantum field theory at large actually is or why it works, but I digress). In the current account of the world there is literally know way for us to understand how gravity arises from the rules we presently believe must be true based on our successes with the other theories.
Trade-offs that the generations before didn't have to make.

You have to make allowances for things like starting a family. Otherwise we're not going to have enough people to create the expected economic value in 20 years. That will come with economic and political consequences that no one likes, and of course, the people who earned a retirement off of such short-sighted policy will be either dead or too frail to face the consequences.
Lmao of course they had to make him get up off the ground in the creepiest way possible.
Many places are facing a teacher shortage too. I think one would assume in a rational economy, since the labor is in short supply, they would pay more for it. However, the pay gap between teachers and the average worker is widening...

Creating a culture war is often the first reaction of the right to things they don't like in order to blunt their effect.

"loonie lentil eating lefties", "greenies", "mad Greta" (I'm making these up, but I'm sure I'm sure there's plenty of similar examples). People used to be comforted by these ad-hominems, and it allowed them to continue buying aspirational 4x4 off-road vehicles and 3 flights abroad a year without touching their conscious. They could laugh, share memes, ignore news stories about forest fires in Canada in December or massive loss of ice shelves in Antarctica and carry on as usual.

But as the pot starts to boil harder I get the feeling people are looking away from these distractions and beginning to look more critically at the information they're getting, and beginning to wonder if it's not such a funny joke after all.
There is 0 scientific basis for your statement.
Looks like they were able to miniaturize a lot of the components. Looks much cleaner and the dexterity looks much improved too.
What Steve Jobs Taught Me at 19
>> I'm amazed that people still depend on "influencers" to make decisions. After all we've seen over the last 10 years of sponsored posts, and "influencers" people still blindly follow their lead.

> If you think you aren't influenced by "thought leaders" and similar, you are mistaken.

That seems like a false equivalence. I think the question is about what kind of influence, not "influence, y/n?" Is it typical for "thought leaders" to be paid to dishonestly push certain ideas?

My understanding is "thought leaders" are at worst self-promoters and at best are just people with ideas they believe in. "[Social media] influencers" on the other hand, are typically paid shills.
I read that book the last summer (highly recommend it for a beach lecture) and, after years of back and forth between Unix and Windows, I finally ended using Unix as my dailiy driver.

Call me whatever, but by reading the story, everything got aligned in my head. What I saw as complex and dumb decisions, suddenly made sense and I really appreciate how things work.
Jesus fuck. I guess the war machine is hungry again so they've fired all the people who made the cute dancing videos and brought in the nightmare engineers.

I'm thinking more and more that that "Terminator" was the most accurate of all the sci-fi dystopias.
I don’t believe all taxes are equal, or bad. But some are terrible, such as this one.
The case brought by Missouri and Louisiana against the Biden admin concerning government collusion with big tech to censor misinformation during covid. She used the phrase, the first amendment "hamstrings" the government during emergencies. I couldn't find a clip on YouTube that's not padded with commentary, unfortunately. But it is troubling...as a supreme Court justice, one of your priorities is protecting the citizens from the government via the constitution, not the other way around.
This isn't vacations and newer cars, though.

This is having kids or equity in a property that one lives in. And it's not just the underwater basket weavers.
No, but new features have staved off competitors from taking over Java's buzz. If Java still had the feature set of Java 8, it would have lost a lot more market share to other JVM languages like Kotlin, Scala, Groovy, Clojure, etc.

The circular screen is supposed to display the words "PLEASE DISPLAY YOUR PAPERWORK, CITIZEN", otherwise what's the point really
4a in page 37 is most tellingly crossed out. So I’m going to copy and paste 4a and instead of crossing it out invert its meaning:

It’s a good summary of the purpose of the law, I should say. Welcome to China… I mean, to the EU.
It's because up until the very last word the sentence can be passed very differently: "How many bathrooms have Neanderthals in the average household?"
Just look at the expression on the face of the woman in the leather jacket (I think its one of the co-founders?). She looks visibly uncomfortable, not smiling, and unsure of what she is selling. Whoever let the picture slip, well, it says everything about this product.
I've played modern games on CRTs through HDMI->VGA convertors, and still felt lower latency than LCD. OLEDs will eventually catch up, I think, but LCDs are always going to have some lag.

And it's not the refresh rate, it's the time from input -> display picture updates. With a CRT that can happen during the current field being displayed, but it will take at least one frame for any LCD.

Well yeah, but their first mistake was implementing a form text field by listening for event triggers.

The two aren't mutually exclusive, and that's also a misrepresentation of what I said. I believe I said something to the effect of I don't have a lot of sympathy for them

18-year olds make poor life choices all the time, but not all of those choices have repercussions which last 30-50 years.
Well, yeah. For the productivity reason it's weird to tell engineers that they must use either a PC or Mac (and forget blanket "PC", if you're most productive on Linux or FreeBSD then ideally engineers can use those).

The one rationale that makes sense to me when it comes to restricting choice to a certain degree is the ability for IT to remote-wipe if necessary.

How important that is will depend on context. At my current place of work, most company data is accessed through various web applications so if the computer were compromised, there is no sensitive data kept locally that would require wiping. Though I suppose it could be argued that browser caches could be sensitive, and even if you couldn't sign on to those web apps, due to MFA, an attacker could still get information about procedures and tech used that would get them closer.

But if they're using JAMF or something they can at least support Windows and Mac. The only other reason that I can think of that a company would have such a policy is economic... but lost productivity and user frustration is a hidden cost, so how real the economic advantages of standardizing are is something I question.

Even a Berkeley degree is medieval basketweaving is worth a lot - you’re likely in the top 1% or higher of your field. This means you will likely end up as a tenure tracked professor.

You’re delusional to claim that state schools “aren’t worth it”. There are cream of the crop state schools.
The victim's parents would technically have been guilty of a felony if this happened today, by failing to lock up the firearm and the minor causing injury to another, including their own self [1]. Michigan's safe storage law was not in effect in 2022, but the truth stands that guns really need to be locked up when there are teens around. For some reason the narrative has been on 6-year-olds accidentally picking up a gun, but that type of accidental child firearm death is absolutely dwarfed by teen firearm suicides.

> Linux wasn’t. (context from me: waging a holy war)

That is a bold statement, you obviously were not on USENET in the early 90s.

At the time I was using Coherent and comp.os.coherent was being flooded with trolls of Linux users, they were saying Linux was the best thing ever. Linux users were also trolling all other OS groups.

Not a single *BSD user posted a troll about Coherent.

It was so bad, when MWC folded, the Coherent Developers suggested people move to a BSD because they were at least respectful.
1. Amazing technical ability.

If we ever see a world where robots need to be useful outside of a factory with perfectly flat concrete floors, then yes - there needs to be continued evolution in traversal over uneven ground and around unanticipated objects. Bipedal locomotion is useful for this (although not the only solution).

Right now the hardest jobs to replace will be those of plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc where they need to operate with fine motor skills in unique and challenging locations - no two ever being the same.
Why China is defeating Tesla
This is 100% true. I have a chemistry degree that's technically from a liberal arts college and it was super confusing to my immigrant parents how that could happen. Now with the advent of the term "STEM" it's even more confusing because a huge portion of Science degrees are actually in liberal arts programs, not technically "Science" programs.
> I can say the exact same to those whose solution is to privatize everything.

Health care and higher education have moved hard the other direction.

No clue if privatization would work here - not pitching that - but the current solution has failed us and the "make it free" mantra doesn't work as long as the price is spiraling out of control.

I think the issue here is that arguably startup culture has _redefined_ scam to _not include_ "fake it till you make it gotta get funding" bullshit. In a previous era that stuff might arguably have been non-controversially been though of as a kind of scam. My own experience with startups is that they often hew as close to the line of scam as they can get away with and this behavior has been normalized.
That's a good catch. It's what I get for relying on GPT3.5+memory -enough time to properly vet the results.
It is, because most teams using Kotlin on JVM are Android shops writing server side code.

There are other reports to dive into.
Israel has not won its "right to exist", if anything, its entire history of ethnic-cleansing, murder, apartheid and now genocide has lost them the "right to exist", not that the apartheid colony ever had such a "right" anyway. Israel will only exist as long as it's possible for the USA to protect them, the moment that support crumbles Israel is no more.

Looking at the trends, it's looking extremely bleak for Israel, considering that US support is largely artificial and not organic.

The support arises first and foremost from the work of the israeli lobby AIPAC which takes advantage of America's legalized bribery [1] that results in undue influence on congress.

Another big factor are evangelicals, who are misguided by corrupt pastors and televangelists like John Hagee who are in a business relationship with the israeli lobby and thus have a vested interest in forcing a zionist misinterpretation[4] of the bible to artificially create support for israel.
A key factor in the changing landscape of evangelical Christianity is generational differences. Younger evangelicals are often less aligned with traditional evangelical positions and are harder to misguide with misinterpretations that have no sound basis.

Imagine you made a mug and nobody used it. That’s a bummer. Imagine you wrote a novel but can’t find anyone to read it. That’s a bummer too.

Art is there to create experiences for people. If somebody writes a novel in the woods, but nobody is there to read it, does it really make sound?
Tell the U.S. Senate: Stop Risaa, the FISA Mass Surveillance Expansion
Can you give a tangible example where disinformation from China impacted any domestic topic in the US?

Sure, there is propaganda and attempts to influence certain topics, but I wouldn't want to give up privacy because I don't like some content on TikTok.

I think the divisions are of domestic origin and this argument is more or less FUD.

And no, you will hardly ever get rid of surveillance powers once established without serious political shifts.

Propaganda messages are quite easy and public. And yet I don't think you can name a single instance where such a message would have influenced the beliefs of a significant portion of the domestic population. If so, which message, what topic and who was targeted?

I think an example of propaganda is that you need to give up your freedoms for security because of "disinformation". A wrong statement on the internet became a threat to democracy.
Perhaps my mind is so open that it's in danger of falling out, but when people say that that's so easy to define and then don't do so, I get really confused. I'm like, have you ever seen a dude who looks like a lady? It's a question that's bedeviled sports for a long time actually - in the 60's the Olympics required "nude parades" to check that competitors were in fact women, but obviously that had some problems. I believe they eventually settled on some sort of hormone ratio as the definition.
That's a big part of what set's it apart. 8 Bit armies is effectively the same game, by much of the same team, but it doesn't have a story at all.

As TFM mentions, pico-projectors have been around for a while and have not improved (physics does not care how much you want it). Thus no sane non-scamer would "hope that their first implementation could be improved upon"

This company was not even in business of developing new laser display tech. So who would improve it for them? And why would they have not in the previous decades?
And some people like that. Its ok if you dont care, but that doesnt mean you can go around claiming ICE cars and EVs drive the same.

I mean, this is part of the story of Caravaggio, right? So much of the standards for art (if you wanted any patronage) at the time were around "what is the church willing to pay for", and Caravaggio alternated between painting stuff that would get him money from the church, and painting stuff that the church wouldn't condone (because of the unapproved ways he used particular symbols, or because they were just secular subject matter).

Well, that and his tendency to murder folks, of course. But that part's less relevant to the "how old is art-for-money-vs-art-for-art" discussion.
The core argument for CRT's is their low latency and high refresh rate. Nobody is using a CRT for picture quality (outside the aforementioned blurred retro gaming look)

However this article is from 2019, and I know they have some pretty snazzy gaming monitors today that might well be better than old top-end CRTs.
What's the alternative though? Having nobody study political science? Except perhaps rich kids, and having only rich kids study political science might be even worse than having nobody...
This goes counter to "Make things other people would want simply for the purpose of making good things."
