I had the same experience with the Fallouts. These were the last PC games I played obsessively. (In my late teens I decided I wanted to be an artist, while gaming was moving in the opposite direction with always more guns and 3D and less story and less art. So for a long time I never played another game after Fallout 2.)

In 2016 I was very impressed by the advances in VR, and so I spent thousands on a gaming PC and HTC Vive and the VR edition of Fallout 4. But one hour into the game it was clear that the magic just wasn’t there. I had this expensive setup to put me directly inside the world I enjoyed as a teen, but it was totally “uncanny valley.” The overwrought game design had lost the mystery, and the 3D VR rendering just made everything look cheap and fake. Engaging the player’s imagination is a delicate balance.
...because given how nonexistent Vastaamo's security was, it was only a matter of time that they would ultimately have gotten compromised or ransomwared, if not by Kivimäki then by someone else. So whether Kivimäki ever existed or not, doesn't change the inevitable outcome. And Vastaamo's CEO went to jail for GDPR violations. There's also the unexplained mystery of why Keskinen (the DPO) and Lind had no sysadmin password and no firewalls, even after they had been criminally investigated for a previous incident. Also, the Finnish DPA wasn't exactly proactive about checks, either.

(To be clear, Kivimäki was a scumbag.)

So, there's lots of responsibility to go around.
Agreed. I live in Europe and while it has its issues, in general I'm not too displeased with it. The comment above seems to have an unnecessarily vile tone.
No, it doesn't. It was designed to work on more general purpose devices. And even then the EC is not investigating MS Sony or Nintendo as gatekeepers of their respective consoles.
> Switching yourself is easy, but you can't expect everyone you interact with to switch too when they don't have a reason for it (and they have the same problem of getting all of their contacts to switch).

Sure, but "the old one is no longer available" is absolutely going to get everyone to switch in the approximately 60 seconds it takes to go from the notification to having a new account.

I mean, Google basically does this every time they change the default Android messaging app (though in fairness they do get a huge advantage of already knowing all your contacts): https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/a-decade-and-a-half-...

One thing I dislike about flying a full-ish A380 is the length of time for meal service. It can be over 1 hour that you have to sit with your tray table occupied and seat upright, before your tray gets picked up. If you want to use a laptop or sleep, it feels like forever.
The only reason "AGI" is around the corner is because people with vested interests - emotional, profit etc - are going to redefine it to suit their purposes. We've already seen this with AI which is now just any bog standard algorithm/app with an attached marketing sticker.

I much prefer graffiti to advertising.
Sure, I wouldn't mind if amateur tags disappeared, but more intricate tags and mural-like designs that prop up from more experienced graffiti artists are something I enjoy, and they are part of what give the city it's vibe.
> I'm not sure of the structure of what they signed before and this article doesn't get into it, but I maintain that there is no legal mechanism to tell someone "sign this or I take away something you already received". There has to be more to the story than the way I've seen it presented so far.

It's in that whole collection of tweets, but essentially the contract which you sign on joining says that if you leave and you don't sign the exit paperwork then you lose your equity. You aren't told what is in the exit paperwork at this point.

When you leave, the exit paperwork contains the non-disparagement clause.

Whether or not this is legally enforceable, no idea, IANAL. It does sound like enough of a threat that most people would just sign though
Fortunately for us customers, it seems Uber catalyzed a transition among most other taxi companies as well to improve this. A bunch of local taxi companies here have apps that have the same features as Uber, where you can pay in the app and see where the cab is on its way to you etc. There are "OEM" taxi callcenter cloud services that small taxi companies can rent to get the uber experience for their fleet without any IT knowledge, each car gets an iPad with an ODB connection and you're ready to go.
Interesting that electricity prices are so different than in southern Sweden even though the distance to Germany is less than 100 km and our grids are somewhat connected. Here in southern Sweden the cost has been negative during daytime for the past week, a trend that will probably continue over summer thanks to solar energy. The net cost for buying electricity is still a bit over 0 though, because of taxes and transfer fees.
There are tons of cars under $40k, what do you mean?

Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Kia, Hyundai, Subaru, Nissan, GM, VW all make safe, basic cars well under $40k.

The Honda Accord is a perennial "10 best" selection, stars under $30k. Most cars in Consumer Reports cars of the year start under $25k.
Of course it is. If a project doesn't state that it was made by a teenager you wouldn't know.

I never stated my age on my projects when I was younger. Neither did any of my developer friends.

Yes, but if you take the thesis "soviet power plus electricity equals communism" we might emerge into a power budget where electricity is essentially unbillably cheap, infrastructure is the cost. And, if we can renationalise power distribution.. maybe a higher state of organisation can emerge than just mercantilism?

Taxis are not great here in Denmark, I don't know why you'd think to state this. They are also not "used all the time", instead used sparingly because of how outrageously expensive they are. Taxis are run by cartels here who have carved up Denmark amongst themselves. Drivers wait in queues, idling, and are paid to idle, sometimes dozens of cabs at a time. As a result, taxis in Denmark are some of the most expensive in the world.

Uber was banned here in Denmark because the taxi companies saw a threat to their easy money. Drivers wanted to drive independently and for a brief period where Uber was allowed to operate, competition flourished and prices came way down.

I'm not saying Uber is a good thing but pretending or even suggesting that the taxi companies are somehow an ethical or good alternative is absurd.
Another angle: pension contributions. Pay as you go social security systems are of course extremely desperate for every cent they can get, and making self-employed people retroactively employees brings in big bucks.
Taxis have apps now too you know. Like the experience is exactly the same as Uber. At least in european countries.
Unfortunately it’s antithetical to human nature. There’s zero evidence I’ve seen that we can ever work honestly for universal, communal good at any great scale.
Tesla's Self-Driving Tech Isn't 'Just Around the Corner' – Class-Action Lawsuit
Are you saying that the problem of monopolies should not be solved through regulation, but by tax-funded public service alternatives?

Regulation tries to restore a free market by reducing barriers and allowing other companies to participate, such as in the app store market. Especially where limitations are not warranted, i.e. iPhone being hardware, the coupling with Apple's App Store is arbitrary and self-serving.
> having to buy a 1300€ GPU, that one would have to replace every year

The flagships usually get refreshed every 2+ years, not yearly. If you're switching yearly, then every second change is gonna be a performance downgrade.

Furthermore, the flagship of last generation is usually at least on par with the card below the new flagship, so you'd have top of the line performance for at least 2 generations, which is 3-5 years. The 4080 specifically has worse performance then a 3090 unless you're using dlss/upsampling. Which most people on high budget systems don't want as it increases latency.

Your napkin math wrt the energy doesn't really make sense either, your card only draws so much power if it's actually on full load. My 4090 is usually mostly idle.

My MacBook pro actually draws more then my desktop PC with a 4090 if both are idle (that's because the MacBook has an integrated display which offsets the higher power draw of the desktop components). At least according to the measurements of my smart plugs that measure energy drain at the plug/wall

Finally, there is no way in hell a working adult will find time to play 4+hours day, every day.

Overall I'd say you've no idea what you're talking about and are just rationalizing and in denial. The performance you get from cloud gaming providers is terrible, worse then a budget PC which costs 1k in it's entirely. And you'll still have it at the end, while the cloud gaming subscriber will have nothing after the sub ends.

Would everyone use it? - We don't know. Either how popular such a service could become. Maybe an early subscribers list and later and MVP would show us. We only suppose time to market could be better than 15 years ago when Github has only just started or 10 years ago when people and it companies just started to get used to it. Now looks like it a well-know instrument for everybody i.e. good basement to build something on it.

Reduce the amount of lawn you have. Replant with whatever is native to your area. At least half of our land is native meadow that we mow once in August and again just before Winter.

Actually, you do, all the time. Yes, they are both undemocratic institutions and that should be changed.
I would like this to be true - that the big US tech companies leaving Europe would prompt Europeans to realise they never needed them in the first place, and either turn to local, privacy-respecting (maybe even open source) alternatives or just get their heads out of their phones altogether. But a lot of Europeans are obsessed with these platforms and would probably be extremely pissed off if they lost access to them. It would probably materially increase Euroscepticism amongst certain demographics.
It feels like you mostly view generative AI as a system that produces finished products, which you don’t like. And for some reason that is how they are marketed, but it’s a terrible use for them. To me the point of generative AI is as a tool for an expert user to use en route to achieving some larger goal. I can personally attest that it works really well for me in this regard, as can many others. I think if I tried to use LLMs as surrogate experts I would be very frustrated, since they are totally unready for that purpose.
Bengio & Goodfellows book, while a great reference, is certainly not what I'd recommend for beginners. It's great for experienced folks IMHO, but otherwise it's quite opaque. I've used it to teach in the past and beginners really struggled with it.

We don't even know whether other human beings are conscious, man.

The only thing which we might say with much certainty is that things which are more "like us" along some metric are more likely to be actually conscious, and things which are less "like us" are less likely to be so. Maybe everything is conscious. Maybe nothing except one's own self. But you'll never truly know one way or another, even if humanity invented some kind of Freaky Friday body swap thing.

This isn't a generally accepted definition or process.

There's a certain positive status associated being "fat and happy" in the US.

Americans are also, on the whole, gigantic people. Tall, wide, huge frames and/or a lot of meat on the bone. Only some of that is accounted for by diet.

I think there's more to do in Japan locally, or at least more general social/physical freedom, which I attribute to low costs and high mobility. Nature in the US is generally privatized, far out of the way, or has limited access or parking. If you travel by walking in the US, middle class people think you're poor or your car has broken down. There's a bit of a stigma in some cases and places against not being sedentary and large (or, having to move and sweat for anyone).
Call me crazy, but I believe the Ukrainians themselves should get to make the hard decisions involving their lives and future.
> To be clear, these multi billion/trillion dollar companies don't need anyone defending them. However, it would be interesting to see what the EU's position would be if Meta started as an EU company.

I absolutely agree on this point. I do have the… bias, that in my formative years Apple was very much the plucky underdog in danger of bankruptcy.

This may be why I am less concerned about what Apple does. I am aware that, net, most people here very much disagree with my position that if you don't like Apple's software policies, you can simply not buy their hardware. (Indeed, they are priced such that many people who would actually like to have those things, cannot afford them).

Google and Facebook, however, are much harder to avoid — yes, you can in theory replace Gmail with Yahoo, Google.com with DuckDuckGo.com, Google Maps with OpenStreetMap, but people who try this report that it's harder than it seems to totally cut that particular cord.

Facebook Messenger is my only way to remain in contact with some people. I've stopped logging into the main site because their feed is, approximately: [real post from an actual connection but 75% chance I've already seen it on a previous visit, advert, list of people it thinks I might know but I don't, then a repeating pattern of {advert, 3 example posts from a group it thinks I might want to join but don't}].

But yeah, Apple aren't the plucky underdog any more.

The point from Yann LeCun I find interesting is the negative space argument where as training data / parameters increase, the "best" next tokens represent a smaller and smaller slice of the model. His contention is therefore more hallucinations, more places to get stuck on some less best next tokens, etc and interesting to think about this as the opposite of how scaling laws are typically presented. A lot of smart people stabbing around in the dark right now and only time (and gazillions in GPUs) will tell.
It's almost unbelievable that something like this doesn't already exist. People will read reviews of some 10 credit piece of shit from Amazon but not a person who has the power to ruin the next year or more of their lives.

I had a bad experience with a landlord recently. The washing machine broke and they just wouldn't replace it. They didn't refuse, the washing machine was simply "on order" for 6 months. I tried to have a conversation with the letting agent, human to human. I asked what they would do in my situation. They said they didn't know but whatever I do, don't stop paying rent because I'll get a bad reference.

I realised two things: a) there is a naughty list for tenants but not for landlords and b) I'm nothing but a source of money in their eyes. A human to human conversation was never going to happen.

The agents don't care about the tenants because why would they? It's lose/lose for a tenant. You either cough up or go on the naughty list. The landlord has all the power. They are literally called landlords! And we just accept this power imbalance as if it's normal!

On another note I find the trend of naming things with feminine sounding names interesting. Of course there is no "Michelle" really.
I think the fear of AGI destroying humanity mostly stems from the suspicion that a logically thinking device would indeed come to the conclusion that we need to be exterminated.

Advisory report on unacceptable behaviour published
Of course, but a useful analogy must bring some new perspective to a thing. Here it just made me wonder what point the author is trying to make.
Landlords have a lot of power, even in Scandinavia where we highly regulate the renter-landlord “relationship”.

One example of how the regulation isn’t really working as well as intended is in average renting prices. Which despite there being 10.000 empty apartments in my city isn’t coming down. (10.000 is a lot in Denmark). The sister company of my place of work is a landlord, and part of the reason they don’t lower rental prices is because it’s hard to increase it later. So for a period of years it’s better for them to “bet” on the market changing enough to solve our empty apartment challenge. It looked bleak for a couple of years, but thanks to things turning around the strategy has worked out.

You can’t protect the rental market from this sort of thing unless you start limiting how many houses private equity are allowed to build and own. Which isn’t something cities are really interested in currently. It used to be such that co-ownership rental-groups or whatever you call “beboerforeninger” in English, if there is even an English term for it. But they are basically non-profit landlords which are owned collectively by every renter. Anyway it used to be that these organisations could compete with private landlords because private landlords were smaller. They have no chance of competing with the kind of deals we can cut a city now, or the speed at which we can buyout and replace old buildings. Simply because we, and companies like us, represent a literal fuckton of money. This is made worse by international investors, but it’s not exclusively caused by them. Our sister company has 0 foreign capital, and we’re still capable of competing with international capital on an equal level. Leaving almost no room for the non-profit organisations and absolutely no room for small investors on any serious level.

I don’t know about the US, but here in Denmark there is almost zero chance of it changing. There just won’t be enough political interest in it. In fact there is a huge political interest against it. Both from the cities themselves, but also for basically every home owner in our country. Because our high rental prices keep the housing market high as well, as people give up a lot sooner than we do. As seen with how the housing market is now again increasing here in Denmark after a period of almost dying. It’s not just because no cheap rentals became available, but it’s part of it.
