A recent thing happened to me on Airbnb.

I'm a host, and one of our guests clearly encountered a bug in the app that caused their reservation to get cancelled. We had a clear paper trail with screenshots.

After hours of denying anything was wrong, Airbnb's offshore support finally admitted that it was probably a bug. But then they admitted that they had no way of contacting Airbnb to report a problem - all they were authorized to do was answer customer questions and come up with explanations. But they couldn't do anything the app didn't let them do.

Airbnb provides no email addresses, no contacts, or even any mailing address for complaints.

Somewhere, there's a lazy executive rewarding himself with stock options for creating a "perfect" experience - a box from which no customers' or employees' screams can escape.
You really don't understand why nature/genetics having a large impact on people's personality, thus behavior, and thus life outcomes is taboo?
I'm not going to contradict your lived experience but Enterprise let me book a car online and then left me stranded in Yucca Valley when they didn't actually have the car I reserved. so they're only as good as their local branch is at computers.
What a great read! Thats for taking the time and effort to provide the inside into your process
I guess that's the same AI that eliminated spam and phishing?
Respect has degrees too. The issue gets thorny when, every now and then, a story pops up about some members of that community who want to deny their children interventions that would allow them to hear, or worse, want to intervene to take away their hearing, so they can fit in the same community as parents.
Risky due to steganography; the leaker might be compromised.
Yep. Been watching for a while.

I really want affordable dip and dots at home, and to do some cryogenic experiments that are only possible using liquid nitrogen or liquid helium.

Also those Dewar's arnt cheap, nor are the pumps
Do they have actual dealerships? My understanding is that they only really have showrooms or service centers, and the lots that they have are just fulfillment centers, not a traditional car lot where you can buy from inventory.
I'm pleasantly surprised they are even bothering with this!

On the flip side, giving publishers and the copyright mafia even more power could backfire.

Even though he cites his claims, and adds warnings of them being new or lacking other supporting evidence to live by, it is weird to then have still be elevated by him on a health podcast that people often apply to their lives.

I try to think of it like if there was a programming content creator saying Elxir is powerful and ready enough to use everywhere. Though it is true enough that it can be used anywhere, but anyone here could probably point out a bunch of situations you really should never ever use something like it. But imagine someone without that experience not knowing and taking their word for it and put it into prod blindly, it be a huge waste of time and money. Time and money is one thing but in health, knowing media and reading literacy is dropping, its just something if I where in his position I would see it as irresponsible to even mention some of the stuff he does.
Knuth's section on sorting data on tape drives is surprisingly relevant to big data running over S3 buckets and streaming into compute.
I just built an NVMe cache when a customer of mine had the problem of reading parquet from S3. Basically first hit goes through the ram, but then it also writes it to NVMe. The next hit just checks etag and if it hasn’t changed, mmaps the file directly from the cached version for faster access. Eviction is typical LRU, but with leases. When disk cache is full (and sufficient storage can’t be released because files are in use) it only uses DRAM. When DRAM is full, which is very unlikely, the cache blocks and waits until stuff gets released.

I’d think twice before abandoning a more or less standard, open format for some brand new shiny thing.
I think we're in the beginning of a warm winter.

The funding is there but we're letting hype drive everything and not calling out the con artists.

The problem is we've had recent great success but still don't know how to get to AGI. But because we're afraid of winter we're not willing to try new things. We want to only compare to sota and think it's fair to compare a new method with a handful of papers to the status quo. That's not how the S-curves of technology work. Sure, maybe things don't scale but that doesn't mean they don't have merit or can't scale if someone finds some modification.

The problem is we treat research like products, not academic work. You need to produce everything from hard core theory to robust products to have an effective chain. But we seem hyper focused on the middle area. And for some reason people think products can be placing a nice interface around research code. There's still a lot of work you need to do and all those models can be optimized. They absolutely do not have optimal hyper parameters or even parameters.
They literally are part of the culture. "The same-old food" is also culture. You are describing culture, and then saying "that's not culture". I think you're just using the wrong word for what you're trying to communicate.
Dunno exactly what you mean by ai winter, but the whole gen AI thing has kind of got all the attention and even if that route slows down there are a ton of other branches fruitful for development.
I would say on the contrary, please stop dumping CSV data just because that’s all you know all to deal with.

CSV is full of gotchas which is why CSV readers have so many switches.

They are huge (and hugely inefficient at scale), have no type safety, don’t support predicate push down and are only meant to be read linearly.

Most of the OPs complaints are about loading and memory, not about actually using the data. OP is more concerned about infra and memory usage than actually the end goal: using the the data well.

I’m not saying Parquet is the be all and end all of data formats but it’s a darned sight better than CSVs for almost all analytics use cases.

People who use CSV because it’s readable and understandable either have non analytics use cases or just don’t want to learn anything new.
Circle is the real Typescript for C++, still hopeful some of this stuff helps to steer C++ into the right direction.

Too much infrastructure code and industry standards, that will be kept being done in C++ for decades to come, and need a way for improving the whole security story.
Nothing of the sort will happen unless we start taxing suburbanites for the externalities of their lifestyles. As the daytime cost of electricity production goes to 0, hookup costs need to be higher for SFH. Road maintenance and such should be paid for by fixing prop 13. Mileage surcharges for cars.
Definitely, Neoplatonism was a big influence on Abrahamic philosophical thought. Though the real locus classicus for God is Aristotle's Metaphysics, specifically his description of the unmoved mover. There are some not-so-minor differences between Aristotle's theology and Abrahamic theology, but God insofar as he is the ground of all being is a concept that most clearly originated in Aristotle's work.
His 2008 Ph.D. dissertation. Could probably use a [2008] tag on the title.
because of a totally reasonable expectation that if the company is renting you something, it actually works. don't blame the victim here, that's lazy thinking.
I found this to be kind of funny. It's clear that the people providing content to Stack Overflow (SO) were always at least tacitly agreeing to allow SO to monetize their content. So SO decides to sell access to OpenAI to train their models and that has some people upset.[1]

The response of our Mastodon poster was to update the content they produced to be "more general", while interpreting "more general" in a very liberal way. SO reverts the changes and suspends the account for a week. Sort of like punishing your child by putting them in time out for using a loophole in the house rules to make you look bad.

It will be interesting to see how this sort of feud evolves. I know a number of people who are disappointed with the SO decision (although not so creative in expressing their displeasure :-)) and it feels like another example of a "web 2" company/enterprise shooting itself in the foot.

[1] I think this is 'upset' in the same way that people discover an answer they gave on one of the various -overflow sites helped a person or organization they don't approve of achieve some positive goal for itself. It is always a risk that when you publish something, a 'bad actor' may use it for personal gain.
"It's not taboo because people can discuss it anonymously on an internet forum" is not quite the compelling argument that you seem to think it is.
Is there a document/book you can recommend that includes a simplified example/tutorial of this computation process from beginning to end? (Or, what are the right keywords to search for such a thing?)

I'm looking for something like: here's the particle interaction we will work on, this is a very simple Feynman diagram, and here's the simplified data the LHC gave us about it, here's the resulting equation from which we'll derive a series, etc.

Not looking for how to program it, but actually for seeing the problem structure, and the solution design from beginning to end. (Familiar with high level physics concepts, and comfortable with any math).
Looks neat. Might replace the slightly hacky cloudfront viewer request function I use to do this on my personal projects.

Self-peasantization is a vice, not a virtue.

I, for one, even when I disagree with an article, cannot make myself scare quote experts and whine about journalists.

It tortures me that, at the end of the day, I'm either:

A) I'm just making excuses for disagreeing by pretending groups of people are monolith and there's no such thing as subject matter expertise

or

B) I'm just generally upset and going on an off-topic rant.

I wish for a 3rd and better option, lashing out has a nice opiate effect, but I really can't stand looking mendacious.
This current iteration of "AI", by which I mean LLMs, seems only good at enabling generative spam and disinformation.

I think regulations are exactly what's required.
It was my favorite game from childhood. I remember finding it in an Office Max store. They had PC titles on a shelf high up. I actually played the game having no idea there was a movie/book associated with it.

I couldn't guess if it did well commercially, but I know I wasn't the only kid that had it.
Only in the sense that any market clearing is extortionate.
Yes, it does, because the militia has more than one purpose. It's not only for resisting a tyrannical government. That's one of its purposes, but not the only one. Indeed, once the Declaration of Independence had been signed and published, one could argue that the United States were in fact organizing and using the militia to "repel invasion" by the British. But the militia was used before that happened, when the only grounds for its use was to resist tyrannical government by the British.
For centuries we only taught children geometry and one of them invented calculus.
Could? It will
I don't think I can notice bugs by reading code. I think I can notice bugs by:

* Writing code in a language with a static type system.

* Reading the code and "playing computer".

And, last but by far the most important:

* Actually testing the code

Turns out that using an LLM to generate code doesn't preclude testing it!
Literally billions are vegetarian and live just fine.
It's because it's not for your safety, it's for the safety of the established bureaucracy of government.

Just look at the number of terrorists that were already on the FBI's watchlist, and whose plots were foiled by random citizens stepping in rather than the FBI. (Hint: it's literally every one.)

Even more incendiary, look at the number of school shooters that have been on LEO watchlists, and also failed to do anything to prevent tragedy.

The brain dead rebuttal to this is something like civil rights getting in the way. But if civil rights are holding them back, why invade privacy at all if nothing actionable is going to be done.
Wouldn't this blog fall into the category of running revolting ads as well?
> But enough about Blade Runner 2049

Kidding aside, while Blade Runner 2049 is a really great movie, I cannot accept it as canonical. The original has a sense of humor, sexiness, and even tenderness that 2049 does not. The original has characters doing truly reprehensible things, but no one is outright, cartoonishly evil with incomprehensible motives as in 2049.

I re-read your comment, but I still disagree that the evidence provided by myself and others in response, as well as evident near-term future advancements, are irrelevant to the comment you responded to.

> a powerful prosthetic limb or exoskeleton that is superior to the biological version in every way makes both the disabled person and the perfectly healthy person equally superhuman.

I think I'm not following, or else failing to see the relevance to this comment. This is essentially what the GP was getting at: these advancements can/will lead to anatomically "correct" humans failing to compete.
It's still my favourite genre for techno party cosplay.

It is. We run an old version of our application on Java 6. Apparently multiple people have tried to upgrade it in the past but it proved too difficult because it's using a bunch of completely obsolete technology with little available documentation that seems to randomly break when you upgrade even minor things.

The plan has been to gradually replace it with the new version of the software (which runs on Java 17), unfortunately this plan has been ongoing for 10 years and it's not gonna be done anytime soon.

Such are the sad realities of working on legacy code sometimes.
He couldn’t help but like your tweet, he had no free will.
same here. once i had children i recognized some of the behavior traits of how my dad treated me and my siblings. the difficult ones are the ones done unconsciously. i didn't recognize some until i saw my own kids repeating them. my wife also at one point recognized behaviors she learned from her parents. this recognition helped us both to better understand each other and accept our respective quirks.
> seems only good at enabling generative spam and disinformation

This doesn't seem to make sense. Although it uses the word "disinformation", so perhaps an LLM wrote it.
Why do we need laws for problems the market will solve?
Whether training a model on text constitutes copyright infringement is an unresolved legal question. The closest precedent would be search engines using automated processes to build an index and links, which is generally not seen as infringing (in the US).

This. I've seen enough people of all walks of life to say: the key difference between rich and poor is just that: having money. There's nothing wrong with that. Money is morally neutral just as the class is.

The problem with Parquet on S3 is not parquet but S3.

S3 is great for bulk reads but very high latency for random reads. It’s not really designed for data querying use cases.

There are two ways around this: parquet on S3 Express Zone (a new low latency S3) or EFS.

It’s not Parquet. It’s S3.

Thanks for sharing

So it was death by a thousand cuts kind of thing
And to complicate things, the population growth rate is not evenly distributed; combined with migration, it means many people get to observe a cultural transformation happening around them in real-time, which creates all sorts of reactions.
No, they have not done that. Presumably they believe that the model training was done in fair use and no court has said otherwise yet.

It will take years for that stuff to settle out in court, and by that time none of that will matter, and the winners of the AI race will be those who didn't wait for this question to be settled.
This is arguably a different mechanism. Propagation of personality seems to be based lest on acute, specific, traumatic events like physical abuse. We understand to some degree why hurt people hurt other people. It’s less clear why and how much we emulate our families in more subtle ways.
I think people are biased towards PINs with only cardinal directions + 45 degree diagonals - or in other words the angles traced out by the digits should always be a 45 degree multiple.
Some of the richest people I've ever met have middle class or upper-middle class appearances. They do make good decisions, have good jobs, etc. We see some evidence in studies that wealthly grandparents are strong indicators of wealthly adult grandchildren. We also know that poor habits deplete wealth quickly (like with lotto winners). It seems reasonable at least some wealthy people have good habits and that at least some of the children adopt those habits and manage to at least protect the existing wealth.
> Just buy it for pennies on the dollar, slap midtown Manhattan density construction on it, and reap the profits.

China has been running a real life Monte Carlo simulation on this for two decades and the results are eerily quiet. Your point is accurate.
I don't by the reasoning for never needing Nagle anymore. Sure, telnet isn't a thing today, but I bet there are still plenty of apps which do equivalent of:

write(fd, "Host: ")
write(fd, hostname)
write(fd, "\r\n")
write(fd, "Content-type: ")
etc...

this may not be 40x overhead, but it'd still 5x or so.
What would it take for you to trust them, or what was your bad experience? I had a bad experience with GetAround with their reservation time math code logic was bad and wouldn't let me rent a car a midnight despite the car being available.
Activists also play the game. The protest's aim often becomes spectacle. They aim to get on the news, the news is literally about "The New" so it needs endless different things, not the same old stuff. They view getting their message on the news as reaching people.

You can see also the many complaints from activists when mainstream media do not cover their protest. Or when they view it as biased.

Ultimately what is a protest for? In a way the radical environmental activists which caused actual disruption to normal peoples day could be seen to have more real life effect than getting on the news about it. To me it's interesting that these environmental activists have changed tactic away from the unpopular but effective disruption to more media friendly traditional protests with the occasional spectacular event. e.g. the very media friendly and almost predictable arrest of Ms. Thunberg on camera after a peaceful walk with banners.

Thinking about Dune. He who controls the media controls the universe. The Dune solution would be to take control over the media which is why we see television studios as initial targets to be seized during any coup or revolution. This is still playing the game.

The article doesn't go all the way and stops with "media is biased". They see the value and need of the news media and it does not criticise the whole system. Their complaint is that the other player in their game isn't being fair (often true), not that the game itself is spectacle.

But the solution is not more disruption or revolution but to ask: How do you change one's own mind about something and then how can you begin to change someone else?
I'm presenting using heritability as an initial toy problem area for exploring building PPL/agent-based scenario models. I havent yet got to the point of building the model out, but it's clear very early on that any observational distribution can be reproduced. I will have a more refined view when I've done that.

re Sasha Gusev: disease, to some degree, can be studied with these methods if you have interventional evidence of a genetic cause.

But since all non-genetic factors are almost obviously mutually interacting, with "compound interest", no explanatory model can be fit.

eg., suppose your personality is entirely genetic: then why variation? Well, because of gene-environment interactions.

eg., suppose your personality is 0% genetic: when why genetic co-variation? Because people's genes covary geographically, and due to the trait selection of partners... ie., families live in the same geography, and people of similar traits breed together.

Why (very weak) correlation with genetic similarity? Because "compound interest" applies to the interacting factors, so even extremely weak geographical selection will compound.

It is entirely unclear to me how you're meant to discriminate between teh infinite family of models on either side.

Certainly, with correlation coefficients of ~.2, you're talking about pseudoscience either way. The causes would have to be extremely linear for such trivial correlations to mean anything at all, and they certainly arent.
deque?
Oh we are. While global birth rates are indeed down this is seen as a catastrophe. Governments have policies to increase birth rates and in Europe we're also madly opening the doors to massive immigration to keep the population growing.

I have yet to see a government declare that they will let population decrease and initiate programs to adapt. Perhaps Japan comes close but we'll see.

> The difference of an hour does make a difference, as sleep researchers and chronobiologists keep pointing out every time a discussion on DST comes up (it is not just about the sudden time jump, but also about the actual time)

Do any of these sleep researchers have anything to say about France using CET instead of GMT even though CET is about an hour off from their natural time? Or Spain being on CET despite being almost another hour off from France?

Furthermore, how long is it going to take for the accumulated leap seconds to add up to a full hour of time? My understanding is that it’s on the order of centuries. If humanity can maintain an industrialized civilization that’s capable of keeping track of leap seconds for that long, most of us won’t even be living on the earth by the time it makes any difference.
Input validation is a separate thing. If a user provides bad input, yes, the server should return an appropriate error code and human-friendly message. _Lacking_ sufficient validation is a problem that could result in an internal server error that could be resolved by changing inputs, but the validation doesn’t exist so the server cannot inform you of this.
These are generally written as k2, k6, etc. -- is there a reason why you reversed them?
