> They’re not physically, emotionally, a psychologically damaging you.

I contest this claim. Ads create envy, which create overconsumption, which leads to environmental degradation. Furthermore ads which try not to look like ads tend to take advantage of people who are not smart. Also, things that are given away for free, but ad-supported, have been shown to create market distortions where "you are the product", and also facilitate loss of privacy through ad-driven surveillance and shady data-broker deals.
> regulate AI (read: let a handful of US government aligned closed-source companies have complete monopoly on AI under the guise of ethics)

Regulatory capture would certainly be a bad outcome. Unfortunately, the collateral damage has been to also suppress regulation aimed at making AI safer, advocated by people who are not interested in AI company profits, but rather in arguing that "move fast and break things" is not a safe strategy for building AGI.

It's been remarkably effective for the original "move fast and break things" company to attempt to sweep all safety under the rug by claiming that it's all a conspiracy by Big AI to do regulatory capture, and in the process, leave themselves entirely unchecked by anyone.
That's not the mainstream economic consensus, nor what the Japanese economists themselves think.

One thing often forgotten is that the trade surplus of Germany and Japan was so high that it was literally squeezing out the growth of other export developing countries. That kind of artificially overleveraged bubble is unsustainable for any nation, and the Japanese failed to make the neccesary reforms till it burst. Germany managed to come out fine, while setting the stage for the rest of Asian tigers to rise.
When I started working and was no longer a broke student, I started streaming or renting content. I guess I’m a bit of an outlier in that I rarely buy (or want to buy any content). However, when I can’t find the content on any platforms… what to do? Tbp is my next port of call. I was trying to find Harold and Kumar last week and it actually wasn’t available on any platforms available in my country :(
There are many ways. Generative AI helps people create content (and that's not the only way, I'm sure). Meta's platforms use content to drive attention.

For instance, an Instagram account that shows cool AI generated photos generates ad revenue for Meta.
The fact that this costs 12billion sums up a lot of what’s wrong in the US.

Let’s be honest the project will take longer than expected and end up costing more than 12billion.

The only more generous interpretation I can see is that OpenAI actually did intend to be open, but only between December 11th 2015 to January 2nd 2016, at which point they had changed their mind.
Hollywood accounting makes it very hard to trust tales of "losses".

The money has just been siphoned away to a tax haven somewhere through overpaying for e.g. renting a property or licensing some IP. The money wasn't really "lost", it was just not taxed.

The Olimux ESP32-POE / wESP32 boards have a proper ethernet connection and PoE support. Means you don't need to worry about wifi coverage or power as long as you can get an ethernet cable to it - and those are cheap & easy to find in ludicrous lengths for outdoor use.

ESPHome also has deep sleep support - so for some use cases you can just wake up every x minutes/hours, connect to wifi, do thing, back to sleep for x minutes. In deep sleep a decent ESP32 board (firebeetle or tinypico) will last for months on a small lithium cell. For a quick sensor, the whole wake up/read sensor/update HA/sleep again takes a second or so depending on wifi configuration.

Useful for something on a schedule like sprinklers or slow sensors (soil humidity or whatever).

You can also wake based on interrupts, which is good for stuff where you are using a low power external sensor that does interrupts (wake ESP up if humidity gets to x) or a GPIO switch (magnetic entry/float switch/etc etc).

Firebeetles and tinypicos both have cell connectors and onboard charging directly for lithium pouch cells. You could also get a cheapo solar power bank, although you'll want to do some research to make sure the relatively light load of an ESP32 will keep it powered on.

I don't see why everyone expects Win12 to be a good version.
Why would they go back on all the new user hostile changes? It's not like you're paying for the OS - they'll want to extract value from you somehow.

Right now it looks like Win12 will just be Win11, but with more integrated "AI"-stuff.
In the search market, everyone loves the paid search engine (Kagi) and hates the ad supported one. It would seem that for LLMs, it’s the opposite :)

I don’t agree with that mental model because it assumes Congress has to make sure the job gets done. They don’t. They can be as dysfunctional as they want.

Polls show that the vast majority of people are unhappy with Congress, and yet they get re-elected at very high rates. There’s no real reason to suspect that their job performance had anything to do with getting elected anymore.

They could very easily just fail to regulate everything that actually needs it. The alternative to the FTC isn’t Congress doing the regulation, it’s no regulation at all.

Perhaps I’m overly pessimistic but I think we’ve gotten to a point where gerrymandering has just broken Congress irreparably by divorcing their job security from their effectiveness. I hope I’m wrong and you’re right.

> if you don't need Windows then why do you need Azure instead of AWS or any of the others?

I don't have enough insight, but there's more to it than Windows/Microsoft services tie up. It's clearly not the ease of use for small customers, it could be the contract making, or something else that makes it better deal for businesses beyond just the cost bundling.

For instance I remember Apple hosting iCloud on Azure. And there's a few other big players going with Microsoft, especially retail chains who can't touch anything Amazon, and don't trust Google.

YouTube compensation is based on watchtimes, which is why I didn’t simply go 2.5m vs 300+ million wow it’s not even within 2 orders of magnitude.

> that doesn't mean aggregate spending is increased

But the actual spending does. An Olympic Games costs as much as total aggregate compensation from YouTube for an entire year. They have multiple revenue streams but it just shows the scale we are talking about.

Netflix spends roughly as much on content as YouTube pays content creators. Add global OTA TV, cable, Movies, pay per view, and the other streaming services like D+ and you’ll get some idea of just how much is being supported by copyright. Hell, even some of YouTube’s compensation goes to old movies because of copyright.

My only interests are in repairability, upgradability and ability run a Linux distro. If it meets those reqs, I'd then look at price and firmware openness. I've soldered on a GPU chip to my Thinkpad t480 and it was fairly easy. If I can do something similar with either of them I'd be interested.
My point is that the suggestion is effectively asking for the removal of background services

I worked at a hedge fund in NYC. I gave my 2 week notice. HR said that the employee contract that I signed when I joined stated a minimum of a 4 month notice period. This would have completely killed my next job which I already accepted.

US is tiny. Sure, economy is currently a multiplier, but less than 5% of world population lives in US.

Sure. To be clear, I've been an amateur AI and stochastic search enthusiast for many years so think it can be an interesting way to uncover all sorts of things with no a priori biases.

It just seems in particular string theory has been able to establish many mathematically elegant theories but what it has lacked is any kind of empirical basis which would allow people to choose between them[1] because none of them have any characteristics that are detectable in the real world or make any predictions that could be measured in some way, other than supersymmetry, which as I understand it is now believed not to be true at least in the sense that the supersymmetry-adjusted standard model has been disproved by results from the LHC.

I don't see how getting AI to search through all the theories is going to help. If anything it will produce outcomes which will not only be lacking any empirical basis but will also now not have an understandable derivation.

That said it's absolutely not my field and I'm having a really bad day so am feeling more than usually negative.

>The word/sentence bias should work if you train an LLM to it I would say. You can only feign enlightened centerist and allow others to get away with things for so long, at some point you reveal your cards.

When I checked out that one, it worked quite well for the USA but it failed horribly for Canada. This was years ago, llms have advanced a great deal and no doubt that product.

I dont particularly blame the project, Canadian journalists are pretty fake. I mentioned the freedom protest that the courts have officially declared was unconstitutionally crushed. The judge himself literally said that on the day it happened he sided with the government and thought it was necessary.

>When journalists collective response to events cause them all to tarnish their reputation in the same way we need to remind ourselves that they are not special people, just people we gladly relinquish the effort to collate happenings for us whatever their own unusual desires.

The journalists will so often write as if what they are writing is the undoubtable truth and they ruin themselves.
There is a body of actually elected officials whose job is to create legislation to enact public policies. The FTC is neither elected nor capable of creating legislation. This is an overreach of their power and will likely be ruled as such in court.

The same thing happened with Roe; it is not the job of the Supreme Court to enact public policy. That is for the legislature to do. If you talk to anyone in law, they will tell you that, regardless of their personal opinion on abortion, Roe is perceived as one of the worst court rulings ever because it was specifically designed to “legislate through the court”. Here we are in the same position again, with a non-legislative body enacting public policy; we don’t learn.

I hope my question is not too trite, I am asking here in case others benefit: I have been running Linux exclusively for over 10 years now, and I need to set up a Win10/11 environment for my sister. To that end, I installed Win10 offline in a VM with virt-manager, but I do not have an activation key. Or rather, I have several coming from old computers of mine, but I am not sure if they are valid; I don't use those computers any more.

So, here I am, with a Win10 VM at my fingertips. Do you have any advice or suggestions on how to tweak or configure the machine or the installation, preferably in such a way that gives me control over what the OS does? One interesting example is, can I configure the network to discard stuff sent to Microsoft servers with minimal disruption?

I discovered “Developer Voices” recently https://youtube.com/@DeveloperVoices.

It’s more a podcast style channel, with a different guest on each episode with experience in a different area of tech/computer science they discuss.

No memes, no clickbait, no how to be a tech lead just mixed varied interesting computer science content/topics.

Agree with the other posters though, generally tech channels are junk full of charlatans.
Believe it or not, a lot of big companies spent serious money on green-washing its products. Those old EV were first half-baked versions. They were also a big liability for the brand in case of accident.
I hope this is a good move, but I'm skeptical.

One of the biggest killers of companies is the lost of focus and doing other things good or bad is taking focus from one thing to another.
Meta has an incentive to release free technology that could threaten their business competitors who stand to gain with closed AI. OpenAI isn't rich yet, so they have to monetize.

Their behavior is obvious when accounting for their positions.
> There can be no competition if there is copyright involved.

Truth is there can almost never be real competition on any market that isn't raw materials, because there's IP (not just copyright, but patents and trademarks as well) almost everywhere else.

That is not their shell. OP is on macOS, meaning their shell is Zsh. They should not be reading a comprehensive (and frankly very boringly structured, it starts with sections and sections of details irrelevant to a curious beginner) guide on Bash 5.2, which isn’t available on macOS by default.
As a bit of a side note, Meta's AI democratization will help with AR/VR. There is a dearth of interesting content to use on them. Open-sourcing will certainly create a fleet of content creators for the platform.

Best start with like UX basics of a computer or a phone.

This is how you turn on a desktop, this is how you turn on a laptop and this is how you turn on a phone.

On phone you touch the screen or use buttons. On laptop and desktop there is a keyboard. On a laptop it is attached to the rest of the computer.

Desktops have monitors and everything is connected by cables.

Stuff like that.
When Sam Altman is calling for AI regulation, yes it is a conspiracy by big AI to do regulatory capture. What is this regulation aimed at making AI safer that you refer to anyway? Because I certainly haven't heard of it. Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any agreement on whether or how AI, at a state remotely similar to the level it is at today, is dangerous or how to mitigate that danger. How can you even attempt to regulate in good faith without that?
"Linux"? You mean the thousands of different operating systems, each with their own GUI, package manager and often incompatible software?
