The bifurcation of the barber surgeon trade was interesting.

I'm wondering though how Scientology-like osteopathy (DOs) ever became legally-equivalent to MDs. Persistence?

To be fair, the clinical MD field is and was too often ego-driven over the history of recent decades and only more evidence-based in the past couple of decades.
My prior in this case was full self driving, so I did not believe we were close to AGI even though LLMs can do impressive things. Hopefully software executives realize at this point that LLMs for software production will still require a competent and attentive “driver” to evaluate their output and apply human reasoning for years to come.
Winamp is not going open source. Here's what it is doing – and why
Same here. GDPR has forced us to think more about customer data and how we store it.
I'm not a graphic artist, and appreciate how the illustrator's art involves many creative tricks of representation to convey complex meanings.

However, the "messy" reconstructions of 3D space seen in these videos did make me think of the recent hype over LLMs.

That is, the representations have a clear link to the "truth" or "facts" of the underlying material, but are in no way accurate enough to be considered useful as source material for further use.
It may have been sometime in 2005, now that you mention it. Recall's a little fuzzy (it HAS been 18+ years)... I was going off a particular memory of sneaking access to it and a certain specific queer-focused art platform during the summer of '06.

It's written in plain English: you can read it yourself. Articles 5, 12, 24 and 25.

The main problem, and the reason certain parties are working so hard not to comply, is that GDPR makes several business models illegal. (Not that I see that as much of a problem.)
> A central tenet of Nazism was its hatred for Bolshevism (and that was tightly connected to the Nazis' antisemitism as well).

Another central tenet of both Nazism and Bolshevism is their hatred for capitalism and democracy. Their alliance allowed to suffocate Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland (attempt failed), and expand their borders until they met, as they had agreed in the secret protocol to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact - without triggering a direct conflict between Germany and the USSR.

The obsolete narrative that portrays USSR as the victim or opportunistic bystander fails to explain why the USSR murdered Polish officers, scholars and other members of the national elite by tens of thousands, and unleashed similar terror in every other occupied country, or why the USSR tried to invade Finland and allocated a significant part of its entire military to the task while it was allegedly so worried about German attack, or why it supplied Germany with incredible amount of raw resources bypassing the British naval blockade, or why Germany initiated large technology transfer to the USSR, including drawings, performance testing data and actual samples of their latest fighter planes and bombers and a ton of other equipment.

The argument that Germany and USSR were on long-term collision course in terms of ideology doesn't change the fact that the alliance was very beneficial to both of them while it lasted and allowed them to maul Europe with impunity. That's why USSR denied until its final days that the secret protocol to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact even existed; the protocol and events that followed completely shatter the myth of USSR as opportunistic bystander.

Even in the present day, Russian goverment (including Putin personally) can't make up its mind whether Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania all saw "working class uprisings" at the same time and joined the USSR "voluntarily" (one narrative), or whether USSR performed a clever trick on Germany and invaded those countries on its own initiative to win time (another narrative). The narrative keeps shifting to whatever is convenient at the moment; it has become a meme.
Nice work Greg! So this is why you can never make it to Pickleball/Padel? Cool excuse.

Gran Turismo and Mario Kart were my favourite examples of fun and engaging virtual driving experiences. A long time ago, I had the wheel, pedals and vibrating seat for GT3 and even that created another level of immersion.

> making storing PII annoying enough that the service provider will ask themselves "do I really need this data in the first place?"

No, the service provider will rather ask himself: "Where can I find a really good lawyer who can tell me how to handle shitty EU laws without getting into a risk of getting sued?"

In other words: this law is a job creation scheme for lawyers.
If I go to the EU website ( https://european-union.europa.eu ) and see a pop up, surely there's a better way of implementing that it if it wasn't the best way to do so.

If there is a pop up there, for just accessing the home page of the European Union, is that site collecting too much data?

"Given that the requirements are so simple, and they are announced clearly and with plenty of time to comply, this does not seem unfair to me."

I don't have an issue with the requirements, but rather with the magnitude of the punishment.

Completely incorrect. I've lived on the UWS at 72nd st and ran a smoker and charcoal grill AND a outdoors fireplace in our backyard.

I wasn't trying to hide it either, I ran some (3x) 18 hour brisket smokes with hickory in 2018.
I don't disagree with the general notion, but it seem to me that LLMs being smart enough to create AGI is even more far fetched than if they are just smart enough to be AGI.
The halting problem doesn't mean you can never decide if something cycles etc, just that you can't always decide.

As it stands, my guess is that the LLM would always confidently make a decision, even if it were wrong, and then politely backtrack if you pushed backed, even if it were originally right.
I only declare multiple variables in one line if it is a "simple" type, without pointers, arrays, functions, etc.

Also, a code such as:

int*x=y;

will define the initial value of x and not of *x. For this reason, a space before the asterisk can be confusing in this way. And, for the reasons described in another comment, putting the space after the asterisk is also confusing. So, I find it clearer to omit both spaces.

When I require more complicated types, I will generally use typedef (or typeof) instead of having to deal with the confusing syntax of types in C.

Identifying what's parallelizable is valuable in the world of language theory, but pure functional languages are as trivial as it gets, so that research isn't exactly ground-breaking.

And you're just not fast enough for anyone doing HPC, where the problem is not identifying what can be parallelized, but figuring out to make the most of the hardware, i.e. the codegen.

How else are you going to get global atomic, possibly highly-available share nothing mutable state? Magic? GenServers aren't difficult. Use the patterns rather than wincing or complaining about the lack of nonexistent wishes if you're not going to build a simpler solution.

Business rules are often represented as an ordering of constraints and triggers in models when using DDD & MVC. One example in another language would be trailblazer.[0]

It's horrible.

Cookies should be a client thing, browsers should forget them once the tab/window is closed by default, and there should be a button by the url bar to remember cookies for that domain. EU should mandate the default settings in preinstalled browsers on all devices sold in eu, and that would solve 99% of the problem.
Passport number, DOB, and expiry date based on my own checking.

I've used this app in the past; https://f-droid.org/packages/com.tananaev.passportreader/

I think anyone needing "fake passports" usually gets them from stolen identities (or stealing a passport from someone similar looking) and getting a new one issued. Probably easier in countries that don't require the passport to be sent back for another one to be issued.
From an outside perspective it looks like you are saying you know what is best but can't convince anybody of it? Is everyone around you incompetent or is it possible there are different priorities?
That appears to be the case, although the wording of what they agree to up front is considerably more vague than the agreement they're reportedly presented to sign post-departure. Link to a thread from the author of the Vox article: https://x.com/KelseyTuoc/status/1791584341669396560
People have been trying to get compilers and runtimes to generate better errors for decades, and sites like StackOverflow exist to backfill the fact that this is a really hard problem. If an AI can get you a better explanation synchronously, doesn't that in fact represent an improvement in the "messages"?
This is excellent! Good work!
A Gaussian process fits a single high dimensional Gaussian, for example, by treating n observations along a single dimension as a n dimensional space.

Gaussian mixture models fit a large number of low dimensional Gaussians for example you might imagine 2D data generated by several 2D Gaussian superimposed.

This approach is just an example of the latter. It uses higher dimensional Gaussians to capture extra information from a scene, but not in the emulation of an infinite dimensional space in the way that defines Gaussian processes.
sandwich bots exploit swap slippage on decentralized exchanges... e.g. a user submits a swap transaction from currency A to currency B with high allowed slippage, a sandwich bot notices and copies that transaction from the public mempool and constructs two swap transactions on either side of it where they swap from A to B before the user and swap from B to A after, profiting from the price move of the user's swap. they submit this as a bundle to MEV-relay with a tip high enough to have it included in a block, and if it's included they book the profit. if not included there's nothing at risk, not even wasted gas. there IS risk if the bundle is exposed to other searchers, which is what happened in this case. multiple bots will often find submit the same bundle with escalating tip amounts, so the profit eventually becomes slim with more participants trying the same sandwiches.

The larger network contains exponentially more subnetworks. 10x the size contains far more than 10x subnetworks (although it'd also take more than 10x as long to train).
Yes and those benchmarks are real. Showing linear speed up in the number cores when writing standard code is a real achievement. If you assumed that somehow means this is a state of the art compiler with super blazing performance is on no one but you. The readme lays it out very clearly.
> It made sense at a time when availability wasn't guaranteed.

It still isn't guaranteed. There's any number of reasons two MTAs can't talk to one another. Then there's more reasons an MTA can't talk to an MDA.

> Rather than that server having to push all mail content around, it could hold the messages and post notifications to the destination, then release only after delivery has been accepted.

IIRC this was one of the ideas behind Internet Mail 2000[0]. The open questions on that page are actually pretty good arguments against such a system. Not that e-mail is perfect but an open message sending system has a lot of important details to get right to work properly.

Duke3D isn't a raycaster; it's a portal-based quad rasterizer. Wall quads are forced vertical, and floor quads are rasterized using a neat trick. The renderer computes successive lines of constant distance along slooped floor surfaces, then draws textures using affine scaling, which is correct along those lines. The portal walls clip the draw of successive sectors, which solves the hidden surface problem.

It used to be pretty bad on old intel processors but nowadays it should be faster than an L1 fetch.
For a serious answer, this is how it works in my field
A researcher gets a grant with 3-7 co-investigators. This generates a bunch of data and other resources that will support 10 or more papers. Coinvestigators and PIs will ask their postdocs and grad students to write up a paper. PIs and co-Is go on every paper...because it's a paper from their grant. Then the 1 to 4 grad students and post-docs go on the paper, depending on their specific material contributions to the work, be it analysis, conception, or execution, or writing. The numbers can stack up.
GDPR.eu is operated by Proton AG, a Swiss technology company offering privacy-focused online services.

It’s not an EU site.
Looking back, all the best professors I have were one of 2:

- The "Sergeant"
- The "Actual carpenter"

The "Sergeant" is somebody who HAS a disciplined way of working and still a minimal yet consistent set of rules for their students.

You learn that you can't weasel your way with him. However, you never worry about being mistreated or facing injustice (which sounds ironic because "Sergeant" screams and all that, but is not mistreating you but hammering into you discipline)

The "Sergeant" TRULY CARE about you. And that means it will not allow you to "go to war" if you are lacking!

The opposite of it is "THE BULLY", and he after you, period.

----

The "Actual carpenter" is somebody who teaches his actual experience working.

It will not just explain the theory of "the chair", HE HAS BUILD A CHAIR BEFORE, and it will teach you that.

He really can answer 'What is the point of this?'

The opposite of it is "THE PRETENDER", who has no idea of how to make a chair but certainly has a strong opinion of how to make one.

----

People that have not experienced the good version of the "old ways" are terrified of "discipline and hard work".

My grandmother was a "Sergeant". You NEVER mess with her. How many times do she hit me or abuse me? zero. A good "Sergeant" does not need to. She only needs to make an intense look at me (or anybody else btw), and that is all.
Why does StackOverflow exist? Why does /usr/bin/man exist? The idea that "deterministic and unambiguous" error messages emitted at the point of failure are all that you need to fix your code seems kinda laughable, frankly.
Just because you do not yet have the capability to abuse the invasion of privacy you have already done, does not prevent you from doing so later.

GDPR's goal was to make PII into "toxic materiel", to be only handled if you really, really need it and are willing to deal with the toxicity.

Having a pool of toxic sludge and declaring everything is fine because you do not use it after filtering what was useful for you does not stop it from being a dangerous pool of toxic sludge.

No because all the AI is doing is making up statistically plausible sounding nonsense? The best case output is a correct summary of the documentation page - why add a huge amount of power use alongside massive privacy invasion just to deal with that?

Complying with GDPR by not taking data you do not need is easy.

Lawyers mainly worked on producing disinformation about it because confusing people made for better consulting fees, but especially once guidance on "legitimate use" filtered out from legalese, they kinda stopped having an angle

... unless what you actually want to do is to violate GDPR and trade in PII, then you need to lawyer up
> Thanks, have seen this - however, it seems like this article is jumping to conclusions about what this means. Could it be that executives at OpenAI are scared of what they built, or could another interpretation be that the senior leadership doesn't see what they are building as an actual threat because it isn't?

The article left the pretty strong impression OpenAI's leaders, especially Altman, are too busy trying to make money and amass power now to care about any long term risk, and that's reflected in their actions.
Your websites have no logging at all? Remember, even an IP address is PII under GDPR.
"The very people who comply with and execute the GDPR consider it to be positive for their company, positive for privacy and not a pointless, bureaucratic regulation."

I have been involved in multiple GDPR compliance pushes and I want to emphatically state the opposite position. It is not worth it. It is not worth ANYTHING. It should be destroyed.
