> Families have become victims of harassment when weirdos have sent images to them of their dead family member.

.. and people have been shot dead by guns.

Many people feel that these are arguments for 'banning' (making illegel) harrassment and murder rather than videos and guns.
>I really don't understand your argument here. No one is banning you from building stalking devices

I use airtags to not just locate lost stuff, but also as a potential means to find stuff when stolen. Its not about me wanting a way to stalk someone, what a bizarre thing to say!

>It's very rare to find a true absolutist on any idealogy unless they're completely blinded - it's just that they draw the line further away than someone else / need a stronger argument to convince them.

Oh, I'm not a libertarian, I'm firmly pro-government. I'm just not pro-nanny state. I'm willing to compromise if the other side is too. However am I not allowed to complain, even a little?
I asked it to describe the books of an obscure author. GPT-4o hallucinated books. GPT-4 knew it needed to do an internet search.
> What would It take to get a GPT model to freely generate tokens in a thought like pattern?

That’s fundamentally not how GPT models work, but you can easily build a framework around them that calls them in a loop; you’d need a special system prompt to get anything “thought like” that way, and if you want it to be anything other than stream-of-simulated-consciousness with no relevance to anything, and a non-empty “user” prompt each round, which could be as simple as time, a status update on something in the world, etc.
You're spreading weird, conjectured doomsday bullshit, just take the loss. Hackernews is full of people that are skeptical of AI, but you don't see them making fictional scenarios about fictional women sitting in caves talking to robots. Women don't need AI to lose interest in men, men are doing that by themselves.

This is really nice. Thank you for this!
Technosignatures are pure speculation. There's no reason to believe aliens exist or utilize any particular technology. But if you assume they do, you have some handles you can grab to try and work the problem.

I guess the answer to your question is, "why not both?" Look for solar panels, look for fusion reactors, look for whatever you can think of. It's sort of like diversification, the wider your net the less you are speculating. Taken to the extreme where we cover all possible technologies (clearly impossible but bear with me), our speculation becomes "aliens exist and use technology."

> abandoning traditional lecturing in favor of active learning

I think this is a misunderstanding of what "lecturing" is supposed to do. It's supposed to _introduce_ you to the material at a high level. Think of it as of skimming a scientific paper. The actual "learning" is something you do on your own after the lecture (although some lecturers require that you _first_ study the subject and then listen to the lecture), and when doing assignments. IOW, it's not a be all end all, and it shouldn't be treated as the only thing you need to learn the material.
In DPRK the law is whatever the fat man says it is.
The top answer is a worthwhile read if learning is of even remote interest. I'm forwarding it on to a teacher I know, who is always looking for ways to improve children's learning.
When I saw the title, I thought this was going to be a security issue... like that they figured out how to identify someone's location based on unique power fluctuations from sun/clouds somehow leaking into a detectable signal in someone's online communications.
I would have liked to see a version number in the prompt, or maybe even have some toggle in my settings, so that I can be certain that I am using ChatGPT 3.5 and then, if I need an image or screen shot analized, I can switch to the limited 4o model. Having my limited availability of 4-o be what gets used, and then not being available becuase of some arbitrary quote that I had no idea was being used-up, is unconscionable policy. Also having no links to email them that fact is bad, too.
> Social media started as tool to allow people to stay in touch after their time together came to an end and eventually evolved\merged with forums as a tool to bring people with similar interest together.

This actually isn't really true. It may be true for social media in it's current incarnation but the origin of social media, the bulletin board systems/BBS (and their progenitor the Community Memory) started as a means for hobbyists to share information and coordinate projects.

It would only be as BBS grew in popularity that they became a kind of digital public square/3rd place. Then with their decline, the graphical web/http based hobbyist forums (and eventually image boards) would rise repeating the pattern.

It would only be the modern incarnation of social media that would originate as an attempt to serve as a "digital rolodex for friends and family" but really out of all the incarnations of social media that would be a relatively short lived oddity before folding back into the hobbyist forums -> public square pattern.
When will people learn. You simply cannot rely on centralized services if your goal is to threaten power. "Incorporated in Switzerland" is not going to protect you from a king.
Yeah, that's a stretch.

Steps to reproduce:

Walk outside away from all other devices.

Walk 100 paces. Put tile down. Walk back to where you started.

UI flow:

1) It shows a map of across town (last ping was hours ago).

2) tap find -> your tile is nearby, wait while we connect (with done button)

3) timeout -> map shows a dot where the phone is, without a big uncertainty circle around it. Can’t zoom.

4) reopen app. Map resets to across town (or, worse, 50 ft in the wrong direction, so you think it pinged a location).

5) walk to pick up keys. No music or phone notification. (Later, an email arrives, usually.)

6) tap around to debug (want to pay for smart alerts?)

7) (when someone else asks me for help). Where’s my credit card?!? Tile is holding my keys hostage for $3!!

8) (if you didn’t pick up the keys) go to step 2.

This is deterministic on iOS with everything up to date. It’s been like this for over a year across multiple iPhone generations.
Like many other answers here, Outline [0] has eventually landed on a plugin architecture with a private fork for EE – the paid edition has many extra plugins providing functionality such as extra importers, auth methods, search functionality etc. The interface itself has evolved several times and we're still adding new hooks to enable plugins to integrate with different areas of the product.

This approach has really made the private fork much more maintanable.

> I have come to the conclusion that people in tech are as largely ignorant of finance as people in finance are of tech.

Well I'm you can certainly speak for yourself, but that doesn't mean the rest of us are, so maybe keep your opinions to yourself. I was responding to the premise that people hate on PE because of negativity bias - there is a negativity bias toward Private Equity, and it is entirely on the fault of the industry for their mendacity and lack of empathy. The fact is, there are more than enough examples of this bad behavior (recently, Chuck E Cheese and Toys'R'Us come to mind). There are also plenty of examples of PE "improving management" by crushing labor, degradation of product quality and screwing customers, so that is is the reputation for the entire industry.

I'm not even specifically criticizing the industry - they have a role to play in the economy. What I am saying is don't go crying about the public perception - if they want the big money, they get to own that reputation and be the bad guy. No one likes a parasite.
To be fair, you can write Hungarian without accents. It's fairly readable, it's not a huge deal. The bigger problems happen with languages written with non-Latin alphabets.

Based on the forums comments there is so much stalking, that everyone is stalking someone. Or, is this just a Cali thing?

At least it explains why the roads are so busy. Though, I thought everyone was working from home... which would make stalking yourself much easier.

My reply was to some person who said that AI was akin to astrology, i.e. absolutely fake bullshit, which is bonkers to me.

Your reply was that AI, like 3d printing, is likely not going to be mass adopted by the average consumer, despite the hype, which i think is a reasonable prediction, and doesn't necessarily mean it won't have some valuable applications.

Maybe just agree to agree?
Wow thank you for these back of the envelope benchmarks. I wanted to "feel out" the practicality of using tinycc with cosmopolitan over the provided gcc implementation (mostly as a fun project to re-educate myself with c and assembly) but now I think I might be better off just using the provided toolset and "building something useful" (aka now I want to get lost in how the strace/xed/dynamic assembly stuff works in cosmopolitan as it's my current favorite discovered dark art while looking through its codebase)

Haskell during technical interviews – a story (2017)
On the NES (or other 6502 machines), use assembly. That CPU just isn't a good target for C - pointers are awkward, you can't really do stack frames, and the addressing modes don't even support 'structs' very well. Fun to program assembly on, though. For your purpose the NES makes it double hard because it hardly has any ram (2 KB, and typically an additional 8 KB inside each cartridge except in the oldest games), and a character-mode graphics architecture rather than a framebuffer. If you do really want to do an 8-bit flight sim, the Atari 400/800 machines are an okay target. The Atari ST would be a better target.

Speaking of those machines, I'd love to see someone deeply reverse engineer the pseudo-voxel/fractal landscape engine that Lucasfilm Games invented for Rescue on Fractalus, Koronis Rift, etc. It still seems completely magical that they could pull that off on a machine with those specs.

Starting from zero, you might start at a high level and work your way down. Do a simple polygon flight engine using OpenGL and your favorite high level language of choice. Then write your own polygon rasterizer that you can overlay versus the OpenGL rendering as a reference. Then maybe rework it in pseudo 8-bit code (C constrained to only unsigned char variables, or similar), which should translate directly to assembly language on the target of choice. On a real 8-bit machine, unless you want low single digit frame rates, you probably have to pull a lot of dirty tricks. Maybe a 16-bit platform would be a better choice. This is speculative - I learned 3D (to a novice degree..) on a 486 PC under 16-bit DOS using C and assembly for inner loops (bitblts, texture mapping).

There's something about the aesthetic of late 80s PC flight sims (F-19 Stealth Fighter, LHX Attack Chopper, etc.) and their flat shaded polygon graphics that feels in vogue right now. Check out Thunder Helix on Steam.

Anyway there's definitely a magical feeling writing graphics code when you get your first feeling of realistic movement and rotation in 3D space working. Hopefully the ubiquity of ultra-realistic doesn't diminish that sensation too much.
You have just proven my point.

In the names "Canada Goose", "Long Island Shellfish" and "Dublin Bay Prawns", "Canada", "Long Island" and "Dublin Bay" are adjectives, because geese are not also "Canada", shellfish are not also "Long Island" and prawns are not also "Dublin Bay".

This kind of names is typical for English, but not for most other languages.

For instance, the scientific name of the Canada goose is "canadensis", which means "Canadian", not "Canada".

An adjective (in the broad sense) is a word that describes a subset of the set named by the noun to which it is attached.

While most languages also include distinct words that are adjectives in the narrow sense, i.e. which have degrees of comparison, adjectives in the broad sense (sometimes called relational adjectives) can be derived from any noun by various means, e.g. genitive case markers, prepositions, postpositions, suffixes, prefixes or accentual patterns, except for ambiguous languages like English, where any noun can also be used as an adjective, and sometimes also as a verb.
They do, but they've evolved neoteny (baby-like cries) to do it, and some of their emotions aren't "human" even though they are really feeling them.

Silly example, but some pets like guinea pigs are almost always hungry and they're famous for learning to squeak at you whenever you open the fridge or do anything that might lead to giving them bell peppers. It's not something you'd put up with a human family member using their communication skills to do!
I think that's lost on a lot of people though, including some/many teachers and lecturers, especially those who enjoy conducting lectures.

Not for OP, but for typical discussion: A good way of getting people to understand how lecturing is really only introductory is to consider learning a sport. You can get lectured for hours, days, years on technique and strategy and reading the play and knowing your team mates. But pull on the boots or put a racquet in your hand and you're starting from scratch.

The site also says:

N95 respirators may make breathing more difficult and lead to increased breathing and heart rates. Individuals with heart and respiratory conditions should check with their doctor before wearing an N95 respirator.

N95 usage results in significantly elevated CO2 levels, reduced O2, and increased heart rate, with far more pronounced effects in overweight individuals. This is common knowledge and there have been plenty of medical articles published about this for years pre-COVID; Google them if you wish.

You really have to be a fairly fluent EVE player to keep up with most of the battle description I think, but it was an entertaining story.

EVE is an interesting example of how a global game turns the players into factions that roughly correlate to their IRL timezones, which has a large impact on how the game plays out (see the bit about coordinating their attack so that it would be after midnight in Moscow).
> Still, the victims' families should be taken into consideration. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be scrolling through Twitter and come across a video of someone you know being murdered.

Maybe so, but I don't want you in charge of determining my feelings on the matter, and I want to be subject to your censorious ideas even less. We may agree on many things, but inevitably we'll disagree on others and then my life becomes worse because of your judgement. Just leaving it alone is probably the least harmful thing.

Rather silly advice. Sometimes one has no choice about their destination. Secondly, many countries now apply these grotesque little petty tyranny laws. Canada does, for example, and many people consider it "welcoming". Better practical advice, ad maybe also activism than depending on a possibly shrinking list of supposedly "nice" governments.
This is definitely not true. Microsoft has an absolute stranglehold on enterprises. They're the #2 cloud provider. The MSFT productivity software biz isn't going anywhere as their bundle is feature complete and they are able to effectively cross sell. The OpenAI partnership has mostly been a PR/marketing play up to this point, though I'm sure it will be driving major revenue in the years to come. In other words, the OpenAI parternship is not driving major rev/profit yet.
Yeah, the top500 pages cited use Flop/s (apparently using Flop for “Floating point operations” – not sure which “o” and “p” are used), I’ve could swear I’ve seen FLOPS and seen it expanded specifically as “FLoating point Operations Per Second” when I first encountered it, FLOPS/s seems to be using “FLOPS” like the “Flop” above (probably as “FLoating point OPerationS”, in which case the “/s” makes sense.)

Unitree already makes a larger humanoid called H1 that has shipped to customers, and they have manufactured cheap robot dogs in volume for many years. They are a legit company. The only thing questionable here is the price, it'll probably be more than quoted. But it'll still be cheap for a humanoid.

Split spiller and register allocator thanks to SSA form. (Simpler and faster than graph coloring.)

IMHO the fixation on graph colouring really held back the development of compilers. SSA was known in the late 80s but for some reason everyone thought graph colouring was the Right Way To Do It, and it only took until the turn of the century for that sentiment to change.
I haven't tried that one but VF1 is a nice gopher client. It's what I generally use for browsing gopherspace. And I think both lynx and elinks have gopher support as well.
Poor Man's Poe for Raspberry Pi
Keeping deletions must have some answer to schema evolution of first class data.

In case of json the answer is detach.

Performance wise:

- you have access to indexed timestamps - this allows you to narrow down resultsets

- you have indexed or sharded-on table name column - useful for more monolithic databases with many tables and large datasets

- you usually want uniform (string) or variant non-unique, indexed identity fields, ie. composite up to 3 (identity, secondIdentity, thirdIdentity columns)

You don't care about the rest because its schema will vary in time and you don't want to deal with it.

You keep those deletions as second class objects because you won't interact with them as you do with first class data. You keep them for things like audit, down migrations, restore, "we can't delete stuff because we need to keep history for 6 years" etc. in a place that doesn't clutter primary dataset.

If you want typed schema you can add version column and keep version based schemas, manage schema schema version migrations in the background outside of your usual deployment cycle etc - but this becomes quite fancy, usually you don't care, you care about what's in use.

How much of it is real? You are linking to images of the robot in a static pose.

> there have been attacks on non-cryptographic hashes used for hash maps

There have been places where a dev chose to use a non-cryptographic hash when they should not have, because they hadn't thought of the threat model (out of ignorance, or just didnt occur to them).

But in most cases, nothing happens. They gained performance, or ease of development, etc. So it's a worthy trade off most of the time (whether they did it knowingly or not).
I would ask you to watch the demo on SoundHound.com. It does less, yes, but it's so crucially fit for use. You'll notice from the shown gpt-4 demo they were guiding the LLM into chain of reasoning. It works very well when you know how to work it, which aligns with what you're saying. I don't mean to degrade the achievement, it's great, but we often inflate the expectations of what something can actually do before reaching real productivity.
