What Facebook wants isn't really relevant. Most businesses want a monopoly of some sort, that doesn't mean they'll get it.

I'm sure the owners of MySpace would love for it to become the dominant social media network again. That's about as likely as all the world governments suddenly disarming.

These days, Facebook is really only used by angry Boomers for spreading around crazy conspiracy theories, and Xitter is only used by far-right-wing nuts for spreading racist conspiracy theories. Everyone else has moved on already.
Strong agree.

It would be bad for RISC-V to favor a Linux distribution of all things. The favoritism would look bad.

Distributions will properly support RISC-V even without RISC-V funding them directly, if they wish to remain relevant.
> most people are hoping to make the world better where they can.

Are they actually making the world better or just hoping they can?

Everybody in the developed world, if they wanted to make the world better, would live drastically differently because of their impact on the environment/climate change.

But it’s more fun to just say that we’re hoping to make the world better so we don’t have to acknowledge how selfish we actually are.

I’m not talking about hustle culture here. I’m talking about the selfishness we all partake in and do our best to ignore.
""For many people in underserved communities, generational poverty and limited opportunities for upward mobility make crime a viable alternative to a system that seems rigged against them. When people are presented with few legitimate economic prospects, studies show that some turn to crimes such as drug-dealing and theft.""

This is not limited to black people.
If you compare statistics between "underserved communities" the situation
is quite similar regardless of the color of the skin on the people
living in poverty and without hope.

"Universal income may lower violence/murder/crime in the entire country".
I don't think that works. First off the server doesn't know when the client goes away so has to hold the snapshot forever. Secondly you double your replication latency and have extreme sensitivity to stragglers, unless you take the risk of hitting an unavailable cache.

I wrote my comments specifically with Maine and Nebraska in mind. They don't do exactly what I suggested with a proportional apportionment, but it's closer to that, and better for it. If every state did what they do, the electoral college would be a non-issue.
It's becoming more common. Confluence whiteboards is all WebGL, even the text rendering.
First of all are you seriously using GPT 3 and not 4?

Second I’m giving you feedback from an actual Japanese person who used Google Translate all the time to go back and forth. Now using GPT 4 they say it is no contest way better than Google Translate. To a point where they can use it to understand and communicate professionally with English and Japanese business customers.

But you can even see it yourself taking actual articles from Japanese websites and running them through Google Translate versus GPT 4, GPT translates into much much more fluent English, same with the translation to Japanese.
Perhaps.

Except it may be worth noting that this dryer came to me with the matching high-efficiency front-loading washer that it was originally sold with.

I'm not near them right now, but I think they both have remains of an EnergyStar sticker on the front.

They're both very, very digital compared to what I consider "old" appliances (like the sort that had motorized mechanical timers running the show).

I just watched that about 1/2 an hour ago. I had no idea that was what killed RCA.

Seems like a classic sunk cost fallacy to me. They had a decent idea. But as it got harder and harder do they never pulled the plug. Adding bandwidth for color must have been a big issue.

VHS had been out for 4 years in the US by the time CED came out. Betamax for 6.

Time shifting was the original killer app until movies became affordable, and CED didn’t have it. Tapes were much hardier and held more video without interruption. Both tape formats already had an install base and were competing so adding a third option was never going to be easy.

And yet they never pulled the plug.
Haha nothing that exciting. Like send 5 texts, make 5 calls, visit any 5 websites. Supposedly a 'network test.'

I just did it all in about 5 mins from bed each morning by calling/texting myself.
I find a commonality between many articles I read online:

1. An interesting headline that draws me in.

2. A long setup/history which I start reading, then skimming, then just scrolling past

3. And finally, the meat of the article.

But by 3. I've decided that the article doesn't contain any interesting info - otherwise, why would I be scrolling past the first 2/3s of it?

I'm aware this is a subconscious decision, a bad heuristic. But in a world filled with info, I rarely fight against it. I didn't read this article, for instance. My coffee break is over, it's time to get back to work.

Maybe it's time for blogs to start doing something similar to what the better recipe sites do, and provide a link at the top to skip the setup and get to the real article.
> I am waiting for the moment when this assumption breaks because credit cards do not make users trustworthy.

IMO it is already broken, or beginning to crack at least, with the advent of throwaway virtual cards.

> Try to reduce the damage by activating Cost Anomaly Detection.

Yeah, this sounds like it could be a better solution than just using CloudWatch Billing alarms and billing alerts that I mentioned elsewhere. It's hard to tell at-a-glance if Cost Anomaly Detection is built on top of CloudWatch Billing alarms, or if they're just totally separate products. I don't seed the latter mentioned in the docs for the former.

Commentary: Merchants Are Getting People Killed
You stated "Being dragged in front of Congress on anything related to a computer is not a big deal". I do not think you understand how the United States works. The United States government can destroy a company if it wants to. A good example is TikTok. Angering senators, or representatives is a very dangerous thing to do. If you want to see the results, look at the legal problems Google is having, or the problems Microsoft had in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The problem is they are delusional and don't know the history/complexity in the situation. To be clear: I'm 100% pro Palestinian state and have been since the 80s (Israeli). Still am.

Hamas is the main reason a Palestinian state doesn't exist. It's the reason the far right rose in Israel. As long as it exists the cycle of death would continue.

Hamas are currently delaying the ceasefire offer that was on the table because of these protests.

Not everywhere. It's important to remember that there are places where police conduct themselves much more professionally.

It's important to remember that because we must not normalize deviance.

I'm open to remote positions for ML Engineering or Product Management. OK with either contract or full time. I have expertise in AI inference systems (stateless and RAG based), particularly the deployment and scaling of systems to service tens of thousands of queries per second. In my free time I like to write software for my personal projects and go deeper into the computing stack of modern computers. Additionally I have founded a couple (failed) companies, including a humanoid robotics company, and have experience in IoT/Embedded, computer vision, CAD software, web scraping, webservers, and management (through volunteering and the previously mentioned company).

How does the author know that? If you are going to speak about the whole universe, you have to take into account the possibility that others are observing their own sun way more than we are observing ours.
It doesn't come across that Jon's comments are "intended to erode the goodwill of the [people] to whom [he is] replying". -- The initial post does come across as raising a genuine concern. (Though I think often the main problem with non-progressives is a lack of articulateness and a lack of legibility).

It does come across that commenters are frustrated with Jon in the discussion (in that thread, and from various other threads).

> we can put the difference down to how much benefit of the doubt we each give to potentially bad actors based on how frequently we encounter them.

There's definitely a part of this frustration where some have been arguing with the same people for months & others haven't seen that. -- But I don't think that's the only thing.
what is the doubling time of property vs say an index fund?
Fair enough.

I'm from Australia, widely travelled, and have worked with many people with many different belief systems.

I have no issue with respecting the wishes of those that don't want images and names of the recently deceased put out in public, which is an actual thing here in Australia with many people that I grew up with alongside, it's no stranger than many of the beliefs held by other groups.
Two weeks ago my daughter's bike was stolen. From her school bike rack. In broad daylight. On camera. It was a local mother and daughter that stole it.

And zero police response.

I should blame the media?

Seems like being concerned about crime is pretty reasonable when people are experiencing crime.

And a lot of people are.

I hope that you are fortunate enough to live in an area where you don't experience it. Your points would make a lot more sense to me if that's the case.
My SO's PI died of Glioblastoma a few years ago, completely derailing their career path, halting all research, and leaving behind a grieving and struggling family. It's difficult to picture how my life would be different had this treatment been available.
I worked for Microsoft in Beijing and was underpaid vs my colleagues in Beijing. But I still pulled away more than $100k/year. I could make those poverty wages work with the lower cost of living in Beijing vs Redmond.

I would bet Google in India is similar, but I have no information on compensation there so couldn’t tell for sure.
Let's stop with the abuse of the word "algorithm". Enough already. Even in a world where it wasn't the wrong word to reach for (i.e. a world that isn't the one we're in), even if it were proper, it is still by this point embarrassingly hackneyed. It's shameless, unrepentant pablum. And that's still ignoring that it's the wrong word to use in >90% of the instances where it seems to show up these days.

I have a pretty simple flowchart for lay people and tech journalists alike. It goes like this:

Are you about to use the word "algorithm" in an article or comment about social media?

No? -> GOOD.

Yes? -> Don't. (And to go one further, since you were already angling that way, maybe you should reconsider whether or not to scrap the whole piece entirely; do you actually have anything new and interesting to say on the topic?)
Maybe employers wanted to weed out employees who are subject to emotion and ideology that keeps them from correctly assessing the relative risk levels between two options.
It wouldn't be counted vacant any more that one might call a park or a soccer field vacant. It is designated for a purpose.

There's plenty of reasons to suggest that isn't the best purpose the land could serve, of course, but "vacant" wouldn't apply.
That’s just not true. Several countries stopped using the vaccine until more data was available. For example in Germany. And then when the vaccine was used again it was only used on a subset of the population (older people because this risk was minimal in those cases). It was discussed at the highest level and all throughout the country.

"More secure than your browser," while serving the hostkey over HTTPS.
Same. We never had LD, though an elementary school I went to got one through a tech grant program. I remember watching some science class thing on it and the movie Hook. Though watching things on a 15 inch TV mounted up in the corner of the classroom by the ceiling from a desk somewhere in the middle doesn’t exactly let you see the full picture quality.

Outside of that my only experience was seeing them at Blockbuster or in stores before everyone gave up. I don’t remember if I ever saw the teacher holding the laserdisc, but the racks of them in movie stores let you see how big they were.
> AstraZeneca's Covishield is not an mRNA vaccine

I wouldn't expect this distinction to matter much
Google One VPN is being shut down.

And separate from that, I bet that wide deployment of privacy-preserving anti-abuse mechanisms is dead after the WEI fiasco. It's just not possible for Chrome to ship anything even remotely resembling that feature given the PR damage from that proposal. That includes PATs, which are pretty much exactly the same thing as WEI.

And as long as PATs remain an Apple-only feature, implementing them as captcha bypasses is not very attractive. (And honestly, giving Safari iPhone users a special fast lane that other users simply can't get strikes me as a really bad idea.)
Yes we know the current LLMs cannot solve the original prompt. That's why I experimented with different prompts.

The instructions are prompting it to proceed rigorously, as it is a logical problem, not a natural language problem. These models are primarily trained for solving natural language processing tasks, and so they are predisposed to answer in a certain way through training and tuning. The models produce less verbose output by default to reduce cost (each token costs money). Telling the model to generate more tokens in step-by-step reasoning enables it to "think" further as it can only "think" when generating each token.

OpenAI could train or tune ChatGPT to "spoil" itself by default when answering any problem that it identifies as a logic problem. It is somewhat arbitrary.

I’m extremely skeptical that the head unit pushes to the ECU.

To me, it sounds like you might have a faulty coolant thermostat. This part physically expands as engine temperatures increase. It’s essentially an analogue part.
Wow. This side effect was pretty much common knowledge in Australia due to a notable early incident and the press coverage it received. It was even factored into the early vaccination process here with the AstraZeneca vaccine not being made available to everyone due to the risks, and that was somewhat of a political hot potato due to that particular vaccine being the one the government had put their money behind, signed deals, and if I recall correctly, even begun manufacturing doses before the final clinical trials were completed.
