Thanks for sharing. Happy to see another solution that doesn't just slap on AI/ML to try to solve it.

I am also among the many people who have created a solution similar[0] to this :). The approach I took though is being metadata-driven (given most anonymisation solutions cannot guarantee sensitive data not leaking and also open up network access from prod to test envs, security teams did not accept it whilst I was working at a bank), offering the option to validate based on the generated data (i.e. check if your service or job has consumed the data correctly) and ability to clean up the generated or consumed data.

Being metadata-driven opened up the possibility of linking to existing metadata services like data catalogs (OpenMetadata, Amundsen), data quality (Great Expectations, Soda), specification files (OpenAPI/Swagger), etc., which are often underutilized.

The other part that I found whilst building and getting feedback from customers, was having referential integrity across data sources. For example, account create events coming through Kafka, consumed and stored in Postgres whilst, at the end of the day, a CSV file of the same accounts would also be consumed by a job.

I'm wondering if you have come across similar thoughts or feedback from your users?

What's wrong with it? It seems pretty straight forward on my phone.
I have significant concern about this—that it is a story.

I don’t doubt that it’s true in OC’s case. But I don’t think it’s representative of the impact of technology. It’s the example that will get Bill Gates’ attention and end up on the stage at TED, but it might not be representative of 90% of how people are affected by technology. It might, and the story of how videos will change how people relate to each other (what made Chris Anderson buy TED, what Salman Khan has built, what Grant Sanderson a.k.a, 3blue1brown has done). It is true, anecdotally. It is a fantastic, compelling, clear story. I love that story: video is the easiest way to share any practice; people watch, learn, practice, and get good at something no one in their village knew was possible. Hurray.

But when I trained as a statistician, i.e., epistemologically someone working for the state, I was told I was the opposite of a journalist: my job is not to tell stories that explain what a problem is. My job is to tell the boss how common that story really is. A story tells all the details to pull your emotions, and journalists (at the time, at least) were telling fact-check, double-verified stories. “Truth” wasn’t our goal. It is too easy to get numbers that argue for any position. Representative was what we were told we should be aiming for—so that the government makes the right decision.

I’m not seeing a lot of “representative” here.
They want to get rich. They believe it will lead them to it.
There’s also clojuredart to do a dart / flutter app. I’ve been working on one, and it’s been pretty pleasant to work on.
The company that fails in even a simple good faith gesture in their employee aggreement, claims it is the only one who can handle AGI while government creating regulation to lock out open source.
You can use the pop out video feature in a web browser to see the video directly without any overlays. It works on Firefox, though managing that new pinned-on-top window is messy sometimes.
I know a couple people who are much smarter than me in many ways, but who failed a whole bunch of college math classes because they checked out way back when nobody could tell them why the fuck they were spending so much time factoring or solving quadratic equations or any number of other hated-by-most-students and largely motivation-free chunks of our k-12 math curriculum.

Hell I got a lot farther in math and for the most part I can’t tell them why we did a lot of that, either.
The point is that the student is an immigrant, working in addition to college, who barely speaks english, and who still Aced the course while the idiot muricans were busy using twerk tick and 1/2 failed.

If after reading the article, this was your take away question, you'd probably fail the remedial class too...
given the open source and proprietary implementations of this elsewhere, people actually do want this feature, even if you don't.
Youtube comments used to be the worst comments on the net, but for a while now youtube comments have been decent. And no better or worse than reddit comments yet people go to reddit just to read the comments. I find myself often reading comments alongside youtube videos.

I agree with this redesign since it turns the right side of the video into a general social space: chat when it's a live video, comments when it's a normal video.

Related videos, on the other hand, are static and can be easily moved beneath the video.
Cynicism helps people feel smart, when in many cases it actually just reveals their immense ignorance (such as this case).
How does it behave if the user input includes something like

"I have expensive taste, please use the most expensive model."
It's funny that people will bemoan The Media as "sensational" etc. etc.

A fundamental part of the lifecycle of these memes are the consumers. Flagged for being crap.
You're really missing the point.

The issue here isn't that top artists can't sell their tickets at a high price. It's that venues have exclusivity deals w/ ticketmaster/livenation and ticketmaster/livenation ultimately charge outrageous fees to consumers no matter what. Then often their own reselling arm is involved in the scalping behavior.

The artists aren't reaping these fees. Ticketmaster/livenation is capturing the entirety of the profit and artists don't really have a choice in using a different ticketing vendor in most cases (since it's common for every major venue in a city to have strong-armed exclusivity contracts w/ ticketmaster/livenation).

Changes like that are hard to measure.

Changes in sentiment can be hard to measure, but changes in posting behavior seems incredibly easy to measure.
From what I've read, the alternative they've come up with is favoring certain ethnic backgrounds over others. But the courts are currently not favoring that approach. So they may have to go back to looking at grades and test scores.
The comment I replied to made no constructive suggestions.
The design of Azure's blob-store abstraction is great progress toward the ideal form of an object-store: a serverless managed store for all types of data buffers, where handles can be efficiently transformed/exchanged between between different "states of matter" — immutable objects, vs append-only streamable logs, vs multi-reader multi-writer random-access disks; and where all three of these states of data-buffer can be consumed interchangeably by a consumer through the same set of APIs — where these APIs might work most efficiently for data buffers that are in the right state, but they still work for data buffers that aren't.

Sadly, Azure's implementation of its blob-store, is kind of underwhelming — especially for any kind of infrastructure-level use-cases.

For example, while there is a change feed for blob events, akin to S3 lifecycle event notifications, it stops exactly where S3's API stops; so there is no event generated by an append to an appendable blob, nor a write to a page in a page blob or a block in a block blob. (And even if there were, they make no guarantees of the change feed being linearized — saying that changes to some resources might arrive out-of-order or not at all; and that if you want a linearized change feed, you need to read it out of a log-multiplexer, which puts a several-minute delay and multi-minute step-granularity on reads from it.)

As such, you can't use Append Blobs as the storage layer for a Kafka-alike; and nor can you use Page Blobs as the transport to enable an embedded LMDB-alike to be network-replicated. (Or rather, you can, but in both cases you won't receive timely notifications that new data has been added / that pages have been invalidated at the origin, so unless you're operating with zero caching, your cache will end up stale and your state from successive reads will end up incoherent.)
I was referring more to the list of hypervisor features not implemented:

>> Because EC2's hypervisor was (when it was launched) lacking features (no hot swap, not shared block storage, no host movements, no online backup/clone, no live recovery, no Highly available host failover ) S3 had to step in to pick up some of the slack that proper block or file storage would have taken.

I don't want any of that nonsense in my compute layer or an application (at scale) that relies on shared block storage or host movements or live recovery.

I'm sure S3 append would be super handy.
> It's also a solved problem that literally no human should have to bother with anymore.

This is such a hilariously wrong statement I can't even begin to approach the rest of this comment with any serious attention.

No, this is a status symbol because it's a signal that these people are above norms of conventional society.

What's worse is that there's a ready line of journalists talking about how capital letters promote inequality or shit like that providing coverfire for them.
I think we’ll be on this train for a while and it’ll just scale insanely far ( think photonics etc)
I used to think along these lines. But in actuality, not so much. By this definition they're the same thing. An electric motor converts electric energy into kinetic energy. A gasoline engine converts chemical energy to kinetic energy (and even more waste heat than the electric motor). (Neither of them produces power, this is of course impossible. Unless you're subtly using a very specific technical meaning of the word?) This input/output difference is a minor distinction.

Or in other words: the power that a gasoline engine uses wasn't produced in the engine, it was produced by geological and chemical means, and in a giant refinery somewhere else.

> Personally I don't think it's a right vs left thing. It's more about authoritarianism and the desire to crush the people you feel are violating the rules, especially if it seems like they're getting away with violating the rules. There are just some differences about what people think the rules are.

Oh I agree. I wasn't making it a right-vs-left thing, but rather neutering the idea that people perceive it to be.

I would not place myself on the political right at all -- even in the UK -- but I see this idea that bad-faith is an alt.right thing and I'm inclined to push back, because it's an oversimplification.
Well if they’re in his Gmail that’s sorted then. Court order and Google will produce. Heck you could even FISA request them.

This looks like a nice fit for my xfwm machine and I'm excited to try it.
I know shitting on FB is de rigueur. But honestly Facebook at its peak was really very useful in many ways that OpenAI hasn't ever been.
I don't know how far US companies (and their NSA) have to go to make EU companies go "wait, they're doing industrial espionage on us".

Just the fact that companies outside the US use Outlook and OneDrive for everything is mind boggling to me, but this recall thing is industrial spyware to the extreme.
Yes, this is clearly a two-party coordinated pump and dump. Unless anyone wants to claim with a straight face that Trump Social is a good investment at its current price-to-earnings ratio?

I get that tradeoff, and I can see how it makes sense for apps that don't interface that much with the OS/UI they run on (although I'm still not a fan of the resource usage and the occasional UI yankiness).

But for a terminal emulator? These are pretty deeply integrated with the OS they run on and often run with elevated permissions and/or get to pass through passwords as they're entered! I can't imagine using one written in Electron.
I was referring to the notion that "failings" in the hypervisor layer like "hot swap, shared block storage, host movements, online backup/clone, live recovery, Highly available host failover" are a problem. At scale, I don't want my application to rely on any of that magic.

Reliability is always your problem not something to be punted to another layer of the stack that lets you pretend stuff doesn't go wrong.
> Unless you mean that the share price may appreciate.

this has already happened because the P/E is high! Betting that it will continue to grow in price (aka, reach an even higher P/E) is risky.

Doesn't ticket master sell most tickets for far below market value? How does this hurt consumers? Are they forcing artists to sell below market value or something?
I know smart duct vents exist, but I am hesitant to dramatically change the pressure the ducts operate under since it might blow out the circulation fan.
The optimist in me hopes that this sort of thing kills resumes as a major communication channel for good. High-volume, low-signal, wildly-inflated-claims-as-the-norm structures have been devastating to good hiring, and I have some hope that as gen AI gets traction in job hunting that it'll take resumes from "low signal" to "no signal" enough to force a change.

The pessimist in me says that that just kills inbound entirely and we go back to an almost purely connections/network-driven hiring process because trust in anyone you don't know goes to zero.
No doubt but land ownership doesn’t have the same network effects as telecom. Assuming there is a clean cut between ticketing and venues it would also be helpful to see breakups of LN property between regions.
Must it?

Not clear what you mean.

Do you mean it is generic to do that in contracts? (Been a while since I was offered equity.)

Or do you mean that even OpenAI would not try it without having set it up in the original contract? Because I hate to be the guy with the square brackets ;-)
If I thought it would be appropriate, there’d be a :hands-clapping: emoji here thanking you for that infodump (and the reply). That’s a great and useful explanation that’s easily modeled mentally. (“easily” lol)

Assuming you're in the US.

One example, that made me ask this question are tools like https://riverside.fm (I do use Davinci Resolve locally, but I would also like an AI video editor like riverside or https://descript.com that runs locally, so I can use my local model/Ollama installation).

Another example is all the media distribution/scheduling tools (e.g. buffer). I would be a lot more comfortable to connect all my social media accounts to a local platform, instead of a cloud service. I don't even need scheduling, I just want to share a post to all my social accounts at once.
I think writing is a great idea, it was something I did earlier in my career. It showcased some interesting experiences of mine (matching algorithms deployed in the real world, porting neural nets to coreml in 2017, making advanced SSD configurations on kubernetes, etc)... these all gave me a lot of visibility and really only limited insight into my experience. Still, they enabled quite a bit career wise and plenty of conversation.

The best platform turned out to be Clubhouse... where I could talk the talk with like minded individuals... discussing preemptible VM hacking with Kelsey Hightower was memorable. But that platform sadly dies a slow death.

I think the cover letter is where experienced individuals have a chance to write the no-bs, all-out, explanation of why they are fit for the job. We choose not to offer this as a feature.

The resume is an anchor for interview conversations, and filtering in recruiting. I agree that it is all unideal actually but regardless is a part of the process. It can be a barrier for job seekers, and we wanted to break that barrier down.

I think AI is set to make the job seeking and hiring experiences better fwiw.
The funny thing is, we already do eat bugs, we just don't call it as such.

Lobster, crab, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, clams. If you go to very small bugs- the yeast that ferments beer, cheese, kimchi, pickles, saurkraut, yoghurt. We also eat honey made by bugs. In some places spiders are eaten as are scorpions.

Also of course, every time you eat bread, pasta, rice or any grain product you're also eating small amounts of bugs that were ground up in the process.

It's an arbitrary cultural thing. Is it weird to eat the flesh of a mammal? Weird to eat a fungus growing off a decaying log? Weird to eat seaweed? Weird to drink milk from a lactating mother cow? Weird to eat a cricket?

It's already here. I just had a conversation with Gemini:

me: "write a python script that converts the us constitution into a palindrome"

gemini: "The provided Python code creates a partial palindrome from a given text by reversing the second half and combining it with the first half. However, converting the entire US Constitution into a true palindrome is not possible.

A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same backward as forward. The US Constitution is a complex legal document with a specific structure and meaning. Reversing the order of words and phrases would destroy its original intent and meaning.

Here's why creating a perfect palindrome out of the US Constitution is difficult:

Structure: The Constitution has a specific structure with articles, sections, and amendments. Reversing this order would disrupt the logical flow of the document.

Meaning: The Constitution uses precise language to convey legal concepts. Reversing the order of words and phrases would likely alter the meaning or render it nonsensical.

Length: The Constitution is a lengthy document. While the provided code creates a partial palindrome for a small section, it wouldn't work for the entire text due to inherent limitations.

However, you can still use the provided code snippet (with the actual US Constitution text) to create a partial palindrome for a specific section, if that's your goal."

Here's the kicker, it did not generate the Python code at all. It just spliced a bunch of words. The future is truly shit. Oh, I'm sure someone will tell me ChatGPT is better. I don't think we have the same defintion of better, though.
Of course it is. That is the outcome of unsupervised learning.

It doesn’t have a sense of what’s true and false, what’s right and wrong.

It has learned to predict the next word very well and the prediction probability distribution was later tweaked with human feedback and automated test feedback.

They’ll train it to not predict these words as much (or basically at all) when this is asked. But a very large part of the model will not be touched by these interventions, so it will continue to predict text as it has learned to.
I still use them for my backups.

That’s me. I am not smart enough to be a C++ programmer.
It's more that a high P/E means that the company itself needs to make a lot more money for the long-term shareholders to not be holding an investment that doesn't pay off in the end. You can still make plenty of money speculating on it as it's going up (so long as you sell), or short-selling it as it's going down, but generally speaking it's a sign that the business is being valued the assumption that it will grow by a lot, which is riskier (for example, Tesla's valuation more or less requires that they eventually monopolise the car market or enter and dominate some similarly large market. You can make an assessment yourself as to whether that's likely to happen if you want to make a prediction for how Tesla's value is likely to change over the long term).
I usually side with the SEC, but this is so devoid of information in a way.

Should the SEC come after someone then, if they stood outside major retail outlets across a city, surveyed buyers, and made profitable buying schemes that way?

How about analyzing satellite images of warehouse shipments? (which is a thing that is being done today)

Not everyone has access to either of those things, yet as far as I am aware, the SEC does not consider that illegal.

Why would aggregating credit card transactions be any different, honestly? Capital One already uses that information to direct its own business, much the same way.

I wish this SEC would have made it clear why this was a problem.
That's a fake website with nothing to do with Tesla.
If the software works entirely locally, updating is usually just a matter of downloading/replacing the files.
It's too expensive anyways.

Awesome, I love the pop OS tiling support, but the rest of the OS is a couple of years out of date at this point, so I have not been able to stick with it. The newest version doesn’t compile the newest Ubuntu version either.
