To add on to this: I think it should be mentioned that Slack says they'll prevent data leakage across workspaces in their model, but don't explain how they do this. They don't seem to go into any detail about their data safeguards and how they're excluding sensitive info from training. Textual is good for this purpose since it redacts PII thus preventing it from being leaked by the trained model.

You don't necessarily need all the code to be fast. I think writing correctness validators in a memory-safe language would go a long way toward securing media formats. Run the validator on all untrusted media to confirm it strictly conforms to the specification before playing it in the fast-but-unsafe player. This should make things a lot more difficult for attackers. As a bonus, it would be a useful debugging tool for encoders.

This is true, but it is also only one axis. Once we have been at it for a while, respect, work-life balance, and job satisfaction are also very important variables.

I will bet that the top companies are able to provide all of these, and keep people, but I suspect that many companies have terrible managers that can’t keep a decent work environment going, so compensation is the only variable that matters.

The company I worked for, didn’t pay especially well, and I worked very hard to treat my employees well. It seemed to work. It wasn’t a case of greedy managers, making money off the backs of peons. None of us made that much, but the work was deeply satisfying. We worked with the top engineers and scientists in the world (in our field). Our business cards opened a lot of doors.
Further theories (also believed by the YTer under discussion) have the commonly quoted 2 million blocks is incorrect - most of the space inside is most likely taken up by rock rubble fill, like we do today to not overuse concrete. Evidence of this exists in the nearby mastabas which use the same construction technique - solid well fitted outer and inner structure walls, filled with rubble in the gaps.

Sure, Europe's requirements save more lives than the US's overall. But we should take the best of both rather than abandoning the good parts of US standards. Saying we should stop having multiple paths of egress because more fire-resistant buildings save more lives is like saying we should stop having air bags because seat belts save more lives.

Honestly for companies that are really on board with the AI stuff they'll probably start shaping their data and processes to work well with these tools. And the whole 'understand your entire codebase and the meaning of the log' thing is both what these models area already decent at and also not really relevant here? I double checked the announcement and I don't see anything about code or logging? Seems to be pretty straightforwardly a data analysis tool to work with the standard data formats (excel, google sheets) that the vast majority of people use.

The easy argument for this is that switching everything to electric and then powering it with oil, would require significantly less oil (maybe 50-60%) that the status quo.

We should switch, even if we don't convert to renewables. (Which we absolutely should)

No. The backlash in this particular case is not against the AI itself. It is against companies abusing their users, i.e. enshittification.
You are assuming they're saying that, because it's one charitable interpretation of what they're saying.

But they haven't actually said that. It also happens that people say things based on faulty or disputed beliefs of their own, or people willfully misrprepresent things, etc

Until they actually do say something as explicit as what you suggest, they haven't said anything of the sort.
> how could any of these AI models comply with that? If a user requests to be forgotten, is the entire model retrained (I don't think so).

I don't believe that is the current interpretation of GDPR, etc. - if the model is trained, it doesn't have to be deleted due to a RTBF request afaik. there is significant legal uncertainty here

Recent GDPR court decisions mean that this is probably still non-compliant due to the fact that it is opt-out rather than opt-in. Likely they are just filtering out all data produced in the EEA.
Yes, of course, but I would still like someone to make him clarify if he means every single programming job or changing the landscape because we'll still need AI engineers. If it's the first one then the claim is massive and I think would require some evidence.

Regarding your point, though, I'm certainly no expert but I believe at this point people aren't investing in new nuclear capacity because they don't believe that long term it will be cost competitive with renewables + storage.

> Transmission lines absolutely do make noise. Plenty of smaller scale power line elements can also hum.

Maybe higher power ones can, but I’ve never had residential lines hum. And as for long distance transmission lines - even their noise is nothing compared to what a spinning blade on a wind turbine generates. You can find videos of the noise on YouTube.

> For anyone complaining about offshore wind (which is way the hell off in the distance) it may be worth considering that the alternative is those houses and beaches on the shore cease to exist in the future if we don't build the turbines.

This feels like a strawman argument or something. I don’t think such an extreme positioning makes sense. There are many other variables like power sources (nuclear power for example), reduced consumption, changing population levels (trending downwards in many countries). It’s not like building wind power is the only way for humanity to thrive.

Your intuition about the properties and effects of high-power lasers is failing you. The original design targets for US military lasers several decades ago were specifically selected because there are no practical countermeasures. These design targets were ambitious; it took several decades to develop practical lasers that could start to meet them.

There are fundamental limits to material physics. Spinning doesn't help because there are always fixed points by definition. There are both materials science and engineering limits to spin rates, so you can precisely design your laser power levels to be reliably effective at the upper bound spin rates. All of this was fully modeled out and calculated half a century ago. Other countermeasures, like dielectric mirrors, would be very expensive to use on cheap weapons, and the US already developed a counter-countermeasure anyway with the invention of lasers that emit "white" light.

The scientists and engineers that did R&D on this over the last several decades weren't idiots. Everything "obvious" that armchair weapons experts might come up with were accounted for a long time ago.

I think your hang up is that you have a set of expectations you think a “god” should fulfill, and clearly the pharao did not fulfill them. And that is an objective fact. But there is no reason to expect that the ancient Egyptians shared your expectations about what a god is.

> ensuring the Pharoah's resurrection and immortality after death

That does not sound correct. I don’t think they believed that the Pharao will walk again after he died. That is what the world “resurection” would imply. Their belief was that there is some form of afterlife where you need to perform certain rituals. The pyramids and the treasures were there to aid the pharao in peforming those rituals so he can obtain a better position in the afterlife.

Rental car companies’ operations are in their own universe of fucked. (Friend in a senior role at one of them.) Two stories:

Cars keep getting stolen. Insurance asks for evidence they were stolen, not lost. Lot has no cameras. Solution? Cease and desist the insurance company. Insurer drops them, they get a new insurer. Still no camera!

Moving cars between lots is done one by one by employees. To move two cars between two lots, they’d send two employees in two cars, leave one car, and then drive back to pick up the next one. They do this if two cars need to be moved or five hundred. Apparently capital expenditures are highly scrutinised while operating costs are not.

That's true, but "reflectivity" even for a good first-surface mirror only means something like 95% energy return. That means 250W of energy being absorbed by an infinitesimally thin layer at the surface of the mirror, instantly pulling it off the glass and vaporizing it. Without assist gas to remove it in a cutting application, the cloud of plasma actually helps absorb a lot of the energy.
Surrogate pairs are not allowed in UTF8 (only in UTF16), so this error is not surprising. It must be decoded from UTF16, then reencoded to UTF8.

Raspberry Pi is good not because it has superior or cheaper hardware, but because it has a community and support.

I can’t believe Slack added a bunch of AI features, without having admins opt into enabling them, and then put out a policy that requests that you send an email to have an opt out from your data being used for training. All of this should be opt-in and should respect the administrator’s prerogative. Very irresponsible for Salesforce (parent company) and I’ll be reconsidering if we continue using them, if this is the low trust way in which they will operate. We don’t have time to keep policing these things.

Because that

1) that costs more money (if you object, "How dare we value money more than human lives?", replace "costs money" with "requires a greater amount of the limited quantity of human labor"), which means fewer homes are built, which means it costs more to purchase/rent a home.

2) Means buildings have to deal with the inherent topological constraints of double-loaded corridors (ie, apartments can't "cross-cut" the building, allowing cross-ventilation/greater number of windows.

If your goal is to save lives, there are other things you can regulate that are orders of magnitude more cost-effective. Where the expected price of each saved life is just millions instead of billions.

When there was another discussion on this topic a while ago, I spent some time reading about fire deaths in Finland. Finland is a country with more fire deaths per capita than most Western countries. Partly due to attitudes, and partly because of the prevalence of saunas, which are almost as big fire hazards as kitchens.

What I found was that fire deaths that could have been prevented by a second staircase are extremely rare. When people die in a fire in an apartment building, it's almost always in the unit the fire started. Either the people didn't notice it quickly enough, or the fire blocked the front door.
What's the operator precedence in python?

String equality is an extremely domain-dependent problem. It's so bad that it's even possible for two strings that contain identical bytes to represent different strings! (because of CJK unification, the same UTF-8 byte sequence encodes different characters in different locales). And it's extremely common in Unicode for different byte sequences to represent the same characters, in various ways (accented characters vs character+accent, different orders of character and accents, identical characters in different scripts, such as latin a and cyrillic a, etc).

And beyond Unicode itself, two strings that would be displayed differently would still be expected by your users to match. Case insensitive search is the most common example for English, but other language users often expect searches to ignore accents or similar diacritics. Then, for things like addresses and even sometimes names, multiple spellings of the same name are often considered matches, e.g. when identifying a delivery address, or for many kinds of simple identity verifications.

There's really no good general concept of string equality that you can bake into a language except for the byte equality one, which doesn't care for UTF-8.
