Right now insurance companies make those decisions based on how your life affects the profit/loss statement at the end of the quarter. (In the USA).

So it can’t really be worse if there’s just a RNG in a box. It may be better.
I believe it was clear that Air Head was an edited video.

The intention wasn't to show "This is what Sora can generate from start to end" but rather "This is what a video production team can do with Sora instead of shooting their own raw footage."

Maybe not so obvious to others, but for me it was clear from how the other demo videos looked.
My experience is that the websites without rss support are usually the worst and the ones you don't want to visit. It has become easy to ignore those so "walled gardens".
I am sorry, there must be some hidden tech, some completely different attempt to speak about AGI.

I really, really doubt that transformers will become AGI. Maybe I am wrong, I am no expert in this field, but I would love to understand the reasoning behind this "could arrive this year", because it reminds me about coldfusion :X

edit: maybe the term has changed again. AGI to me means truly understanding, maybe even some kind of consciousness, but not just probability... when I explain something, I have understood it. It's not that I have soaked up so many books that I can just use a probabilistic function to "guess" which word should come next.
Yea, well. I still think there is a conflict of interest if you sell propaganda
As far as I can tell this attack only makes a client connect to the wrong network, by dynamically rewriting the SSIDs using a man in the middle.

So the attacker doesn't control the wrong network access point, they just make the client connect to it when it thinks it's connecting to something else.

It relies on both networks sharing the same credentials, and at the end, the attacker cannot man in the middle the connection itself. They have just forced the user to connect to a different network than intended.
Strategy for what?
> They definitely feel like they are in a competition.

Citation needed?

Although I did not work in AI, I did work at Google X robotics on a robot they often use for AI research.

Maybe some people felt like it was a competition, but I don’t have much reason to believe that feeling is common. AI researchers are literally in collaboration with other people in the field, publishing papers and reading the work of others to learn and build upon it.
Two thoughts on this. The first is honesty - I don’t mind if candidates google the question if they tell me about it. Information retrieval is a vital part of the software engineering job. What I take issue with is dishonesty, a trait that would not be something I’d accept in my teams.

The other thought is this: interview questions aim to collect evidence for skills needed for the job in a setting where you can’t observe these skills directly. I had a candidate for a senior engineering position once who clearly used an LLM. They had a vague understanding about what latency is, had no idea about SLOs, P99 or circuit breakers. The LLM then helped them to parrot this knowledge to me. But I didn’t want to hire them because of their theoretical knowledge - they need to monitor systems, act on alerting, build and improve existing monitoring and maybe join the 24x7 rotation. These are all scenarios in which it’s insufficient to know where to look for information given a keyword. The work reality doesn’t provide them always with something they can easily put into an LLM. Even if it did, progress would be too slow if for any incident they’d need to consult their llm first.
The usual fate of idealistic people who build something great only to be discarded by management in a power struggle. How often did this repeat?

I'm pretty sure you could also layer the cat noise evenly over the image without significantly damaging the woman. The DCT puts all the importantly information top left, but there is nothing stopping you adding a step to distribute that information across the whole image, or using another transform that didn't have the same concentration effect
My (naive) guess is that it makes them slightly less likely to be picked up by scanners like shodan. I'm probably wrong though

I quite like magic the gathering online for this purpose. You can’t trade cards, so the gambling and trading aspect go away. And you get wild cards in packs so it’s easier to craft the specific decks you want. Also the rapid cycle of releases just feels more fitting here. I’la be away for some months now and again and come back to an entirely new challenge of cards and decks.
I also paying is optional, you get enough resources just playing regularly that you join events and play drafts regularly. But you can also just pay to have enough to only play events if you feel like regular games become boring.

Personal opinion.

> if they show they are proficient with Copilot or whatever AI-based tool then it's also a valuable skill that you should have in mind when making your evaluation.

Again, this is your personal opinion. I don't even consider this being a skill. Even less than "knowing IDE bindings". What is important during interviews is verifying that someone is at least able to deliver, troubleshoot and will not be a nuisance to the rest of the team (loosely speaking). Can they use AI tools effectively to speed up development fixing undesirable artifacts? Good, but not something that matter to evaluate if someone should be hired or not. Also, if you want to evaluate how they solve problems, using AI during interview will introduce a huge amount of noise.

One idea could be the product launch dev day, which is something that originally was a point of tension (overcommercialization vs research).

For anyone who doesn't know, HN user Animats is John Nagle, eponym of Nagle's algorithm.

My main mental association with that algorithm is always being asked about it in "make menuconfig" when I used to compile my own Linux kernels. One of relatively few networking concepts I can think of that's named after a person (along with Van Jacobson header compression).
There are are significant externalised costs with how you want to live. So you have preference to live in the country, but would you be willing to bear the actual cost? E.g. the cost of infrastructure like roads, electricity, hospitals, schools etc. is much more expensive per user in the country and is thus cross subsidised by urban tax payers.

So the question becomes how much would you be willing to pay for your preferences or why should others pay for your preferences.

Depends on your provider. My GMail is fine, but my much older Hotmail is a spam cesspool. It's so bad I barely check it anymore the last couple of years, despite having been able to keep that email address since something like 1996. As I had "exposed" that to some email farms I probably got into some really bad spammers lists which Microsoft seems unable to stop.
Seems like a potentially unhealthy comparison.
Some slight poisoning is fine if it causes people to poison themselves less with their diets. It seems crazy but it all works out.
> The trouble is, they're controlled at opposite ends of the connection. You can turn off the Nagle algorithm at your end, but you want to turn off delayed ACKs at the other end. That's the practical problem.

For an extant case of this practical problem chosen at random, I'd be curious to know-- what's the likelihood that it's just openssh on both ends of the connection?
It kind of is?
Generally a lot of networking code evolved on the big 36bit machines. There were implementations for unix that predated BSD sockets, but AFAIK Berkeley got a grant to make an implementation that would be freely accessible when TOPS-20 future was indicated to be in jeopardy - or it might have been just because before AT&T being able to demand licensing fees, everyone was putting out clones of Unix on various hardware.
Gotta love the "What idiot wrote this code? Oh. It was me." moments.
I'm not a great programmer, but I think I'm quite good, I have contributions in quite a lot of foss projects, I have CS masters, yet I have no idea how would I even start these FAANG problems. In 30 minutes? Who is this optimizing for?

I worked in one "unicorn" once and all I did was getting protobufs from one API, putting it to database and taking it back from database and putting it to different API; it was so boring. I solved my boredom by contributing to some in-house framework, after which I was told I am out of my line and should go back to copying data between APIs.

Are people at Facebook actually solving these hard CS problems in daily life? Why are these interviews even a thing?

I think e-readers are pretty much a solved problem for books that consist of solely text - it's got to the point where they only differentiate themselves on things more related to personal taste than any technical merit. And price, of course.

I consider myself a heavy user of ereaders, probably averaging over an hour a day, and have had a few in my time (Kindle paperwhite, Kindle Voyage, Kobo Aura H2O, latest the Kindle Oasis - which I got in Jan 2019). The only real time I felt like I got an "upgrade" was the slightly denser screen on the voyage, then the slightly larger screen on the Aura. The Oasis feels functionally the same for my use case (again, 99.9% text, no images or diagrams or animations, so can't compare them). But really the only reason I "upgraded" after the voyage is leaving it on a train or got damaged in my luggage one time.

And what can they really improve on it? There are denser screens - but they don't make the font size I use actually look any better. There are larger screens, but it's already about the limit of what I want for portability, and much larger would be harder to read not easier. There are faster refreshing screens, but I've never even noticed the page refresh speed, as it's lost in the time it takes to realign my eyes to the top of the page anyway.

So what's left? Looks? "Premium" materials? Thinness? The oasis is already at the point where any thinner or bezels any smaller and you couldn't hold it. I don't read comics on it, so don't really need a higher resolution, or colour panel (though can see the advantage if you did). Same with flash size - every book I've ever read on it (nearly 3000) is still on my 8gb model, and it's not even at 50% capacity.

And now my Oasis battery is starting to fade - it doesn't more than a few days anymore - and somehow it feels weird considering buying the same thing again - or pry open the back off and try to replace it - though who knows what that would do to it's water resistance. I guess the newer models have an amber backlight option, which would be nice, but still doesn't feel like an upgrade to something I purchased over 5 years ago now? Or even more as I only got that because the (functionally equivalent) predecessor got crushed on a plane.

So I think my point is that for the "Reading Books" use case, a kindle has already reached the maxima. Any "improvement" would almost be a waste - why improve refresh times when it won't actually affect the user experience one bit?

Is there something I'm missing? Is this just a local maxima where you'd look back on and feel stupid for not seeing the "obvious" improvement path? Or is ereader "development" just a waste now as it's now just a commodity?

- Something like an instinct to fight for life (seems dangerous)

Most places I've lived (not many) use zones for residential parking so a residential parking permit gives you no right to park a car in residential spaces outside your neighborhood.

Regardless, the consideration needs to take into account that requiring parking minimums increases cost to develop and decreases density, making it harder to live without a car. If it were a given that everyone has a car and drives it everywhere, I think indeed it probably does make sense to have (reasonable) parking minimums and I think it's clear that parking minimums do certainly make for ample parking. But in today's world where we are trying to shift away from car primacy in cities because they are dangerous and polluting and scale poorly, the goal shifts from "make there be enough parking" to "make it easy to get around the city" and for that goal, parking minimums have proven to be ineffective.

An indoor CO2 meter that never goes outside will be miscalibrated almost immediately.

They have self calibration routines that assume they see atmospheric CO2 levels at least once either per day or per week

If it's always inside that assumption is wrong and it will always report lower than true CO2 levels.
The alternatives are not necessarily free to the neighborhood as a whole. A lot of places would have to build a bunch of garages if they were to eliminate any on-street parking. So now you have more garages everywhere. Maybe that's a good tradeoff. Maybe it's not. But I'm familiar with urban neighborhood with on street (mostly permit or metered) parking that have very few garages or parking lots at all.
Funny if true. Perhaps in some generated video it will suddenly interrupt the sequence with pretend unskippable ads for phone cases & VPNs.
Those models still can't reliably do arithmetic, so how could it possibly know that number unless it's a commonly repeated fact?

>As their one single data point for nuclear, they didn't pick a random sample, but instead they hand-picked the most expensive commercial nuclear power plant in the world: Vogtle-3.

Citation? As far as I know they come out with new numbers every year and they dont just base it on one nuclear power plant.

>And of course LCOE doesn't actually cover the full cost.

It doesnt count the cost of load following, but neither the LCOE for nuclear power. Gas plants are generally used in France to supplement nuclear power when it isn't sufficient to cover their power needs or when they are taken down.

And of course, 5x cheaper = 2-3x cheaper when paired with storage under conservative assumptions.

>As you approach 100% renewables, the costs rise almost asymptotically

If you make some really bad assumptions about how storage will be handled (e.g. assuming you need 2 weeks of lithium ion batteries) sure.
Yes it’s limited by human attention. It has humans in the loop but a lot of LLM use cases come from complex language oriented information space challenges. It’s a lot of classification challenges as well as summarization and agent based dispatch / choose your own adventure with humans in the loop in complex decision spaces at a major finserv.
No I’m with you on this. Next token prediction does lead to impressive emergent phenomena. But what makes people people is an internal drive to attend to our needs, and an LLM exists without that.

A real AGI should be something you can drop in to a humanoid robot and it would basically live as an individual, learning from every moment and every day, growing and changing with time.

LLMs can’t even count the number of letters in a sentence.

Don't worry, these are the "keeping the bridge intact" speak of people leaving a glorious or so workplace. I have worked at several places, and when people left(usually most well paid ones), they post linkedin/twitter posts to say kudos and inspire that, the corresponding business will be in forefront of the particular niche this year or soon and they would like to be proud of ever being part of it.

Also, when they speak about AGI, it raises their(person leaving) marketing value as someone else already know they are brilliant to have worked at something cool and they might also know some secret sauce, which could be acquired at lower cost by hiring them immediately[1]. I have seen these kinds of speak play out too many times. Last January, one of the senior engineers from my current work place in aviation left citing about something super secret coming this year or soon, and they immediately got hired by a competitor with generous pay to work on that said topic.

One last time, the claim is not that "Canada doesn't care". It's that it prefers it to the alternative of SV-style companies operating from Canada. Which is consistent both with data, facts on the ground (yes, Canada has laws and administrative processes designed to make SV-style startups difficult to start there, that's precisely what people complain about above!), and the comments of actual Canadians in this very thread.

You're welcome to present data falsifying the actual claim if you think you have it (instead of the "Canada doesn't care" straw man or misunderstanding that you repeat above, noting that so far you have not even refuted your own straw man by presenting any data).
