> I don't think there's any instances of games getting pulled from steam.

Dead Island, Firefall, a slew of indie games. Usually Steam lets you keep downloading them even after the fact if they're in your library but the indie devs will often upload a garbage EXE prior to them abandoning the project so you can't do that. Those are cases where the publisher has opted to do that, however.

Steam has also pulled games - even their own. It's rare but it happens. CS:GO is a good example.
Nobody put what I think about AI better than this.

Yes, there are good cases where "realistically sounding bullshit" is useful! I remember in the early days, before everyone grew kind of tired (well, at least me) of GPT, people used "hehe write me PC manual in style of slam poetry" or whatever, and that is fun.

However, people use it to get facts!

Just a few days ago, I have read somewhere that hospitals are planning to use LLMs to replace nurses. That is horrifying. Absolutely horrifying.
Now what I think would be interesting if one can use ChatGPT or whatever to distill any kind of document into a series of factoids. Say you give it the Wikipedia article about a famous person and it will extract stuff like "born: 1949-01-30" and associate it with the name of the person.

Later on, a user asks an AI "when was Foo Bar born?", and the AI then looks up the factoid database and responds with the correct factoid, or an error message.
This is not going mainstream until we have the killer usecase for it.

These are solutions in search of a problem - a better solution (think the whole thing in a contact lens) may solve bigger problems. A brick inside a paper bag on your head, sadly, has limited scope to solve real world problems.
> So what would they correct? The best that can be done is like it is said in the article, apply filtering to refuse to answer.

Stop providing service in the region in which your product is unable to comply with local regulations?

You can't extract millions of euros from EU citizens with anything physical that goes against the EU law, but we like to pretend that because something's digital, it's totally fine if your product intentionally breaks the law, even if it's just for a couple of years until some random NGO sues you and courts react. I think that's nonsense.

I'm not gonna say the EU needs its own equivalent of the Great Firewall, but there should be some cost of being intentionally non-compliant, as in fines, as in the same thing the EU already does to Facebooks and TikToks of the world.
Even real intelligence struggles to tell facts from fiction, otherwise the world would look very different. That's yet another problem with AI, people often aren't sure what they can expect but many err on the side of "magical oracle".
AI pushers are presenting them as factual databases. REpeatedly.

...and that's just one product in one category of one vendor. Not a comparison to the whole vr market that is half the size as that one product.

Also, yeah, Apple is kind of niche in computer sales. Maybe not in very affluent parts of the US but globally less than 10% in desktop and notebooks each.

Also also - VR might be a growing niche. I'm not arguing that. Hype's over but apparently there is still growth.
Look at OP's previous posts. This is just a low quality advertisement. They might not even be a real person

In many countries there is the idea of bankrupcy. You make the debtor suffer for a couple of years (to ensure incentive against it) and then wipe the slate.

Bankrupcy is no fun. All your assets are wiped out (house, cars, etc). Sometimes you are excluded from the banking system. So it's not "without consequence".

Lending money is a risky business. That is why you get interest. Getting people off the hook is not ideal, but neither is the inverse. From a societal point of view, this arrangement allows people to take risks that they may not have otherwise. And we're all better off because of it.

Yes, there are definitely challenges, and there must be a reason no one is seriously selling 1024-core versions of old 8-bit processors... but perhaps on an Intel 130 nm process you could make a faster Z80 than just 50 MHz. Quick googling didn't reveal what process Zilog is currently using for eZ80.
React is the Spring of frontend frameworks. If you have used Spring framework around 2010ish with Hibernate as ORM, you'd know what I am talking about.

React with its component ideas was a smart and the first of its kind, yes. But its evolution is regrettable. The idea of hooks is so.... that it would be considered spaghetti code in any other realm of software engineering.

I have switched to Svelte. I don't like everything about SvelteKit but it is better than NextJS and simpler to reason about with its page, layout load functions and error components.

With Svelte, I am rarely thinking about framework at all. I am thinking about my business domain.

EDIT: Fixed typos

Disclaimer: All opinions are subjective.
I am not comparing it to a human error. There is a conventional wisdom that humans make mistakes, and we have redundancy built into various systems to counter the same. With machines and tech, the expectation is that they are accurate (which is not true, but mostly true in the important ways). The reason I brought it up is to hope we have that redundancy in this case and future implementations of AI as well. (Horizon had a bug in calculation system - which seems easy and straightforward and hence unexpected and undetected.)

A typical example would be breath analysers. If humans were to judge who is drunk, there is a high error rate. With tech, the error rate is low, but if there is a bug in one of the equipments, many wrong and unnecessary arrests might be made.
We know how to do this and have observed this tons of times at this point. This would not be novel in any way. This is about exciting the nucleus which is completely different.
Excellent advice.

On the technical side, I believed waiting was due to the lock queue rather that having acquired an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock. The ALTER is specifically _waiting_ for any lock lower than ACCESS EXCLUSIVE to be release.

My wife practically forced me to get the damn thing. She's not the one that has to get it into the back of the van.
I am under the impression that its harder to control internal interruptions. Like the quote from st.augustine, 'the mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind commands itself and meets resistance.'
Installed! This is an excellent intro. I have experience with nvim, but have stuck with vscode for convenience reasons until now.
I bought and returned the AVP. I feel like there's a cohort of people who always mention wanting "opened up" operating systems, and I get it, but this is totally not the problem with the AVP. iPads are popular too, after all.

The AVP is an iPad, not a computer. It does offer a better "personal computing" story compared to a tablet, but that's it. There are many issues, but the cost and general UX is the issue. There's not a lot to do, and it's worse at most tasks than the alternatives.
The organic neural network inside my skull isn't a mechanism to retrieve facts either, nor are specific outputs that it may provide discernible from the weights. And yet, if it responds with a factual error to a given prompt, it can be trivially corrected so as to provide the right answer for future prompts.
I wonder if my insight on these is wrong, but from what I understand, the GPTs and such are basically all hallucinations, and it's just that most of these are also correlated to reality, what actually exists.
Back in my day there was only "dark mode" and we liked it.
They are all tech journalists or influencers looking for their next viral hit.
True, but only partially. We really don't know (or at least investors don't understand) what LLMs are really good for. Some of the use cases put out there now will wither away.
Scope functions are still huge. Yes, deep let chains can certainly be considered an antipattern (sometimes I like the approach of writing them, then transforming to more imperative for readability, I think readability peaks at a mix of imperative with some shallow .let), but I miss them in any language that is not kotlin.

Variables should be the exception, not the norm. I have no patience for names that designate some fluid work in progress instead of a value.
I found some of my first BASIC programs recently, written in 89/90 on an amstrad464. They're on cassette tape. I have a tape deck with line out, but I don't even know how to start trying to get data off an "audio" cassette tape these days?

The programs weren't fancy: one was for picking lotto numbers for my mam (the national lottery had recently launched in Ireland so it was a novelty.) Also I was 10.
I'm sure this comes with some drawbacks, perhaps more cautious hiring, but I like the sound of these regulations. Anything to give employees a ballast against wild swings in the share price. If layoffs had a more delayed effect on the business (and could be reversed in court) there would be less incentive for CEOs to pull that lever.
You might actually like one of the low-res ultrawides in that case. There are a number of 21:9 monitors with the pretty low resolution of 2560x1080 - and even a few in the fairly absurd 32:9 aspect ratio (3840x1080).

I don't like those precisely because I can see the pixels, but they do have great screen real estate.

This is distinct from their space business. With regard to aircraft, Sierra Nevada has built up a lot of experience as a systems and sensors integration company. They built Gorgon Stare, they've fitted out a bunch of multi-mission PC-12s packed with sensors amongst other aircraft, and they've done extensive C-130 modifications. [0]

They're also apparently a lot more willing to provide data and IP rights, whereas the traditional primes have tried to keep that proprietary.

I think they're a good fit.

People use it to get facts, and trust it more than Google. I have some tech illiterate boss that asked me to do stuff some way because "ChatGPT said so", instead of trusting me, an experience professional. It wasn't like this with a Google search, so why now ? Natural language has a big impact on how the product is perceived
I love working with Ollama, I was really surprised at how easy it is to build a simple RAG system with it. For example: https://github.com/stephen37/ollama_local_rag
One of my first pieces of code from my first job in 1997 still exists and runs according to a long suffering colleague that still works at the same place. That also means the code has gone from SCCS -> CVS -> Clearcase -> Perforce -> SVN -> Git. That's enterprise development for you.
Didn’t the media cover this already over and over since ChatGPT’s inception? Not that it isn’t important but to imply it is a new revelation seems sensationalist.

> While inaccurate information may be tolerable when a student uses ChatGPT to help him with their homework, it is unacceptable when it comes to information about individuals.

I don’t even understand this part. Why would inaccurate information be at all acceptable for homework? You need accurate information there just as much as with people. In fact there’s probably a good deal of overlap.

This article is bad.

Interesting. I'm sure it's correct, but it makes me wonder about the output quality of these devices. If the output of an UPS is so significantly different from regular utility power that it's unsuitable as input for an UPS, then it must be of a worse quality and unsuitable for the expensive equipment it's supposed to power ?

I do understand the logic that chaining UPS will cause interesting things to happen when power is restored and the downstream UPS can then overload the upstream UPS because it will incur additional load when charging its battery, which could trigger overload protection in the upstream device.
Yes that's what I think, unless of course I missed something
You’re right, parent read too fast
> Can't find thr exact story

Probably because a web search for null has too many false positives, or maybe the stories aren't indexed. :)
Can this be designed in a way that doesn't have frequent false positives?
That's still not saying much, unfortunately — you are going with "authoritative" vs "informative" argumentation ("trust me" instead of "this is why").

Explaining what are the conditions that need to be met for one UPS not to cause issues to another daisy chained off of it would help the reader understand why that's a bad idea.

On the linked graph, be sure to expand the date out to "all" or at least the past year. It defaults to a 3-month window, which obviously misses the impact, since the blockade began more than 3 months ago. Not only has the threat not been reduced whatsoever, but there are substantially fewer ships traversing the Suez today than when the US began its air strikes! The nice thing about this military intervention, relative to most, is that the results are objectively and quantifiably measurably.
Why is it "not a fixable problem"? So many problems introduced by new technologies have been claimed to be "non fixable" by the businesses promoting them until, lo and behold, the law has forced them to do so.
LLMs are also often used in the search component of RAG, by generating embeddings that are then indexed and searched.

My use-case was easier than yours (OCRing scans of microfiche of typewritten pages) but I found this https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF incredibly handy.

I still had to write a bit of Python, mostly for levelling and centering the text blocks, but it really is a PDF swiss army knife.
Meh. GDPR sets limits on 'processing' personally identifiable information. In the context of an LLM, its outputs may contain PII if its inputs do. Those inputs are training input and prompts. So long(!) as the training input doesn't have PII, the output will only have it if the prompts do. Same as if you save a file on onedrive, if you save PII there, you're the data controller, and Microsoft is a processor on your behalf.
Someone was feeling very clever when they came up with this idea.

The ability to provide loans from nothing is the special feature of a bank, which is why they are so heavily regulated. The deposits are just the opposite half of the loan creation. No bank invest deposits - they're a liability to the bank.
To me, the comment you are replying to is saying that you should^ DIFFERENTIATE roles by service, not ‘end user’.
If LLM providers want access to the EU market they will need to find a way to comply with GDPR, and if OpenAI cannot find a way to do it then a different LLM provider will.
We here in Germany, as so other countries, have a issue with Wikipedia and their actions against a certain clientele.

If you get branded a conspiracy theorist your Wikipedia entry will denounce you as such and the admins and moderators will lock the article and you can do nothing about it.

Obviously ChatGPT will take information about your persona from Wikipedia if available and will update this information accordingly to the changes in Wikipedia.

And you can’t do anything about it.
Bold of you to assume 'Open' AI is accountable to anything other than printing more money f-for h-humanity of course.

The machine itself was made by Convergent Technologies. It's similar to the MiniFrame - and possibly also the MightyFrame.

AT&T rebranded it, and there were two versions: the 7300 can take a single half-height MFM drive, and the 3B1 can take two half-height MFM drives or a single full-height. The 3B1 has a different plastic case with a square-ish 'bump' under the monitor, and usually a modified (called a P5.1) motherboard.

They top out at 4MB RAM (2MB on the motherboard and 2MB on expansion cards). Disk storage would have topped out at 190MB with a single Maxtor XT-2190 full-height, or a pair of Miniscribe 3650s for 2x50 = 100MB.
We all knew a guy who would never stop talking. Maybe in college.

Some people thought he must be very smart, and would listen to that guy for hours on end. Most people eventually got annoyed / board and left. But he kept going. The thing was, he knew a lot of stuff. But of course, an audience is a hell of a drug, he had to keep going, and some of the stuff he said ended up being bullshit.

Now LLMs are that guy. We have automated "Cory from the 3rd floor, after a few beers". You wouldn't cite Cory from the 3rd floor on your term paper, why would you cite an LLM?
Was lying online fixed? The attempts to fix it come at great costs, which is usually suppression of speech which leads to all kind of problems associated with lack of information or feeding faulty information.

Attempts fixing hate speech on social media resulted in similar situation, now hate becoming mainstream. American social media banned keywords for racism or hate speech, only to push them to dog whistle racism and hate speech.

The problem about fixing lie is that its impossible to objectively decide what is a lie and this is true for all kind of stuff about people.
I work in a very interdisciplinary, and somewhat niche, tech/engineering field. For the past 15 years, I've been saving every relevant PDF that I can find -- mostly studies of the sort published by Elsevier and Springer, but also books and presentations. I now have around 10k, which probably makes it the largest private library focused on this particular domain of expertise.

It has been extremely useful, especially because it's text-searchable and the really important papers are properly categorized.

A local LLM will make it 100x more useful. Also, it might not even need be "local." If I make it available via the web, I can probably sell access to other scientists and engineers in my field.

Recent advances really benefit data hoarders out there.

I'd add that these days it totally makes sense to download libgen's entire archive, because (1) storage has never been cheaper, and (2) you can use it to train local LLMs.

It is incredible and fascinating how physics, chemistry and Biology come together in plant roots.

I have been trained as a computers person and hated Biology in school so i have zero background in these waters but learning all this has been humbling.

I heard that fungi, bacteria and plant roots work for each other towards the "survival of the friendliest" paradigm. Some of the smartest people admit that we do not understand what viruses do.

ChatGPT is not a magical database that provides correct answers to all questions. It is an LLM that draws conclusions and propositions from the context you offer. Instead of just asking a question and waiting for an answer, you can provide detailed context and engage in a discussion about it.
I don't think they want large sales now. They are building the necessary supply chains and production capabilities, getting rid of bugs in manufacturing and software, trying out software approaches, making proper QA procedures etc. The ML-optimized CPUs are not yet ready too.

I think at that point the real solution is to seriously consider all of the language constructs you use and their compile times as well. It's not a given that using more of C++ is always better and real, sustainable change in compile times can be had by moving more and more towards C in many ways but keeping some of the safety C++ provides.

(I'm sure you've been there, though; gamedev is one of the areas I would expect people to be more sensible about their C++ feature usage in.)
