> You are dead right that the order of operations recently uncovered precludes misappropriation.

I don't think that follows. It's entirely possible that OpenAI wanted to get ScarJo, but believed that simply wasn't possible so went with a second choice. Later they decided they might as well try anyway.

This scenario does not seem implausible in the least.

Remember, Sam Altman has stated that "Her" is his favorite movie. It's inconceivable that he never considered marketing his very similar product using the film's IP.
Yeah I noticed I was tired in the afternoon and then not tired after dinner. It was because I wasn't drinking water.
It's a specialized developer tool, not a consumer product. It's literally named the "Snapdragon Dev Kit for Windows".

Naw dog, they just add a URL to a block list, and manually remove that from the inputs.

What's the issue? It is America's finest news source.

Not even a little.
If they had any sense at all (questionable) they would be absolutely pants-shittingly terrified that their prized product has been completely undercut by an upstart in a matter of months, and that Microsoft has a deep partnership with that competitor. I'd think even the leadership at Google can figure out that ChatGPT eats their lunch in terms of cutting through the SEO bullshit and giving actual information.

If they were even approaching baseline-clever, they'd realize that they've caused people to be so pissed at the declining quality of their search for years and that they'll happily jump ship.
old concrete is not in high demand. unfortunately, when i try to follow your link it just says 'fuck you, wetback scum', like every home depot page, so i'm not sure what your evidence is. are they offering you money for your old concrete? how much are they paying?

something like 15% of the material that gets carted to landfills is old concrete

generally speaking, old concrete is used in new concrete as (very) coarse aggregate. alternative coarse aggregate is mostly angular crushed stone, like the track ballast you see around railroad tracks. this is made by dynamiting deposits of limestone, granite, or basalt and feeding it through a rock crusher. while this sounds violent and energy-intensive, it's nothing compared to running a cement clinker kiln. most of the cost of coarse aggregate is from the cost of shipping it, not the cost of the energy needed to crush it; as wp says

> Large stone quarry and sand and gravel operations exist near virtually all population centers due to the high cost of transportation relative to the low value of the product. Trucking aggregate more than 40 kilometers is typically uneconomical

I won’t be so sure, pardons are possible , people convicted of far worse crimes than him have been pardoned in the dying days of a presidency.

It is quite possible in few years his political capital would be useful for that (with some new donations of course ).
You mentioned RLCDs does this mean the screen technology is in the same family as transflective screens?

I have a OLPC and a Toshiba R500 which have this kind of screen and they sorta kinda do work in sunlight but less so now than the newer super bright iPad screens.

I’m curious if you think you have this down if that means there is a road to color in the future.
To spell it out in the way that doesn't require a crazy level of suspension of disbelief:

Based on the date (right after the public release of the assistant), it is actually very strong evidence for "we thought it would be awesome to have an AI voice companion that sounds like the one in Her", which, combined with the (undisputed) revelation that they indeed tried (twice) to get the person who did that voice, is a very strong indicator of the intent of the thing that happened many months before.
>Edit: also three colleagues bought iPhone 15 Pro phones this time round after Samsung last time. Don’t know what happened there but you don’t make a switch like that unless you dislike what you had that bad.

Samsung got rid of all the things that made their devices different (micro sd card, headphone jack, MST, IR blaster, etc) and then changed the design of the phone to look more like an iPhone. Software also has been moving that direction. There's nothing special or unique with main Samsung flagship phones anymore (with exception of s-pen and folding phones). So by jumping to Apple you aren't losing much in terms of hardware if anything.

On the other hand iPhone have been adding more customization features things like widgets on the home screen and allowing to change the defaults to make it more like Android.
$6M fine for robocaller who used AI to clone Biden's voice
The FCC has proposed a $6 million fine for the scammer who used voice-cloning tech to impersonate President Biden in a series of illegal robocalls during a New Hampshire primary election. It’s more about robocalls than AI, but the agency is clearly positioning this as a warning to other would-be high-tech scammers.
As you may recall, in January, many voters in New Hampshire received a call purporting to be a message from the president telling them not to vote in the upcoming primary. This was, of course, fake — a voice clone of President Biden using tech that has become widely available over the last couple years.
I know. But it's all connected.

It not being a flagship gives them 2 forgiveness points for the lack of performance. But it not being a flagship also gives them 4 demerit points because they're charging as much as a flagship.

Unless the level of "flagship" is higher than it used to be, in which case it's okay that it's not a flagship, but then "not a flagship" stops being an excuse for mediocre performance.

They can't eat the "not a flagship" cake and have it too. Both interpretations are bad for them.

I'm curious what you think about the post that you replied to.

Are you assuming that the author is lying? Have you weighed the likelihood of that against the likelihood that the author actually saw what they said, and that the reason you don't see the same might be because Google fixed it in the meantime, or that it only happens when phrased a different exact way, or because the responses may be indeterministic even with the exact same query in the first place?
this is true of lime cement, but it is not true of portland cement. portland cement absorbs much, much less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than the lime used to make it released when it was calcined. (i think the figure i heard was 15%?)

this is one of the reasons that green building promoters are advocating a return to lime cement for cases where it's applicable

This tool sounds great for info overload like me. Algorithmic recommendations always make me feel helpless, hope this tool can help me regain control.
New math was actually pretty successful at the lower grades. The issue was that when it came to rolling it out to middle and high schools, they just kind of said "here's the textbook, figure it out" instead of going through a coordinated process of teaching the teachers while helping them develop their new curricula (which they did for elementary school).

So you had this really ugly failure of teachers not really necessarily being prepared to teach the material combined with the rush to roll out the curriculum across the board instead of expanding it year by year so there wouldn't be a sudden change in expected education.
In 1969 the Unites States strongly hinted that they would retaliate with nuclear weapons if the Soviet Union used pre-emptive nuclear weapons on China (which it was rumored they were considering). We risked nuclear war against ourselves to prevent nuclear attacks on China.
It was around the third time that my laptop overheated itself while "asleep" in my backpack that I decided to return it and get a MacBook.

They probably meant "Firefox Setup 1.0.exe" was 5 MB.
At least it is marked (for now) as AI-generated. Google is and always has been a black-box. Surely only a matter of time before "AI" on "traditional" (probably using "AI" too?) are mixed and merged, etc.
Google was always better than Yahoo/Bing at dealing with webspam (whether Google can continue to beat current webspam is a different debate). Bing is happily traning on the things they don't know are bad results. Garbage in garbage out.

The only competition Google needs to worry about is Google's leadership. Once Cloud brought in TK and they started actively recruiting from Microsoft and Oracle it was like an infection of stupid they haven't been able to fight.
You should really try a few months of yoga.

Proper breath technique:

- fill your stomach first

- next your chest

- deflate the chest

- deflate the stomach

- let the stomach deflate until you "make a fist" in the stomach (complete muscle contraction.) this is at complete exhale.

- now breath in, repeating the process.

It should take you three long seconds to breath in, and three long seconds to breath out (you know "one one thousand, two one thousand", you won't actually be timing, just make it a long smooth in-out.)

That's basic breath work.

You can practice lying on your back, though you should be comfortable with the technique in any position (sitting, standing.)

There is no "extent of it", you will push your boundaries little by little. After a few weeks you will notice some change, after a couple months you will notice profound effects. After a few years you will incorporate this into other things, after a few decades you will notice how confused and short minded others can be ;)
thank you, that is almost certainly what they were thinking of

how much do they get throttled up and down, and how frequently? i'd like to read more about this
Congrats on the launch!

I was scrolling and everything on the hardware looked great (although I was looking for how the tech is different from e-ink, not how better its properties are).

Then I reached "Introducing Sol:OS" and stopped right there. Didn't look further and closed the tab. I'm skeptical when it comes to custom OS. Not a lot of startups can handle a hardware+software company. Hardware is hard enough. Software is second class citizen and doesn't get regular updates after a few years.
Did you try small claims court? That should work.
Doesnt Disney own them? Why would they poach if they already…unless they want to force it to evaporate indirectly.
Non-interventional study design. Hydration measured by osmolality.

I wonder if other factors like glucose level could affect both osmolality and cognition?

The article does address this:

It seems that you want to make your root volume as small as possible, and use it to only attach a pre-warmed pool of EBS volumes at launch time that contain the actual config/data you need?

You can launch a stripped down distribution with what, a 200mb disk? Then attach the “useful” EBS volume, and “do stuff” with that - launch a container, or whatever.
Get the FDA to tell people "You're not a bird."
I don't disagree, because that's entirely not the point I was making.

I'm saying that the law of truly large numbers applies here. The US government has done exceptionally good things and exceptionally bad things because it does a ridiculous number of things. It simply does more than any other organization; it has been the world's largest organization for some time.

the biggest disappointment is the absolute contempt with which the society treats high end knowledge work. Math, theoretical physics, theoretical computer science, these are the highest form of art and sophistication created with human brain, but people who love these subjects have to forgive financial independence, endure poverty, have less than 1% job prospect in academia, social snubbing & ridicule, for what, inner joy? Screw that.

These days, my main advice is the same as what Scott Galloway gives to avoid long term disappointment. Follow the bucks, once you have enough of it, you can then think of satisfying your inner curiosity.
I had a kidney stone, and in the follow up with the doctor, it was obvious I was not getting enough fluid intake. After an additional follow up, there was a profound difference after following the doc's advice of increasing fluid intake. It wasn't specifically increase water or decrease anything else so it was easy to do after become aware of it.

Now, I can definitely tell when I haven't had enough. I used to think it was hangry, but I now can tell the difference.
I honestly wonder if there's eventually going to be "sponsored" answers. I shudder to even think of it, but it seems naive to think we are not going in that direction.
The USA isn't going to fight a trench warfare style war with China. We would fight a standoff/siege war and would overwhelm China's defenses and take out China's production capabilities. China's production is mainly in the east, whereas the USA's is spread out across the country. China imports it oil (making them susceptible to siege) while the USA is a net exporter.

There is a reason we are developing Rapid Dragon (named after a Chinese siege weapon) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_Dragon_(missile_system) . It quickly converts our 1500+ supply chain heavy aircraft fleet into stand-off attack platforms.
It's worth emphasizing, which they also do, that this primarily affects middle-aged to older people, and "extreme" conditions. There is no benefit to "stay hydrated" beyond not being dehydrated and in fact it can be somewhat harmful to drink too much water. If you are middle aged or above, if you are in an excessively warm or cold climate, if you do great physical exertion etc. you may need to be mindful of your water intake and make sure you drink enough (and not too much), but generally your body will regulate this through the sense of thirst. Obviously being too focused on your work can also mean you neglect said thirst, so frequent breaks are healthy for several reasons.
Emacs (besides the lowlevel internals such as the garbage collector, graphics toolkit and virtual machine) is written in Emacs Lisp which means that it's also fully programmable by the user, at runtime, without restarts/loss of state. Moreover, every aspect of Emacs is designed to facilitate runtime modification and live programming. This level of introspection goes beyond anything available today except some Smalltalk environments (which lose on practicality).

VSCode is just another editor with a constrained "API" that limits the modifications one can do. Emacs is clay that one can fully mold to one's own preferences so that it becomes an extension of one's mind.
AI responses are probabilistic, so the same question may get different answers.

Can you clarify what you mean by BBλ being "provably optimal"? IIUC BB functions for any Turing-complete computation model should be equivalent up to a constant. Maybe something like: there exists N, c: forall n >= N: BBλ(n) < BB(n + c) and vice-versa. I am not sure what the exact equation will be off-hand, maybe in this case we will need to replace BB() with a version based on binary encoding of TMs.
Simply put, someone stated as truth that a thing would "confidently" do something. I was curious, and in my use it does not confidently do that thing. Why it did/doesn't do it is irrelevant to me, because I was only curious as to whether or not the assertion was true.

Edit: No assumptions about that user's honesty were made.

Edit 2.5: Fuck it.
Am I having a stroke or does this article randomly veer into a totally separate topic on right wing conspiracies never to return to the original topic? I kept reading wondering how this was related to Google AI misinformation but it never happened.
Well no, I'm defending the enjoyment of colorful games. Or picture books, or comics. And I'm disputing the idea that compulsivity is prevalent and that it's beyond the power of the user to say "this is dumb, I'm stopping now" when the only way the app tries to exert control is via little colorful animations.

More realistically, I think it's irrational mindsets such as "I need the world to like me" (or something, don't ask me), or a gambler's deep-seated belief in being lucky, that are exploited. I do not think the little colorful animations, in of themselves, have a direct line to the impulse control of most people. And I don't think puritanism is the way forward. "Isolating" is odd, because if I open an ebook, it's in black and white and fills the screen, even if the same screen is capable of simulating a slot machine. So buying a screen that's incapable of doing anything else seems extreme ... well, IDK, I kind of like the way actual paper looks, it feels more immediate than a screen, but that's unrelated to what it can't do.
Personally, every time I see chat GPT's output I just skip it. I look at it and I'm not sure it's quoting things literally or changing them, so I can't trust anything the summary says, and if I'm going to click the links anyway, I don't need the summary.

One of the best moves wrt nutrition, fitness, and productivity I've made the last couple years is adding electrolytes to my supplement stack.

I've always been deliberate about having sufficient water intake, but supplementing electrolytes on top of that made a small, but noticeable, difference. I take a small amount by pill w/each meal (along w/a multi-vitamin, etc.), and via powder form in my water or beverage once a day. I feel more refreshed and focused while at work or at the gym, and I no longer experience muscle cramps (I never had them frequently, but being deliberate about electrolyte intake has removed them entirely).

So, while the study focused on 'hydration', it's worth remembering that doesn't comprise of water intake alone. My performance and focus on sufficient water intake, while ok, felt inferior compared to sufficient water intake + electrolyte supplementation.
Calling it a "bio break" makes it sound like you are trying to excuse some unfortunate deficiency.

China's current production capacity would be eliminated by USA standoff attack aircraft within a few weeks. Pre war production capacity has nothing to do with war time production capacity if you can't defend your factories. How many Chinese factories depend on advanced foreign machining machines (vertical mills, horizontal mills, etc)? Can China constantly replace their capacity of these during sustained foreign bombardment?

China's manufacturing is mainly in the east, while the USAs is spread throughout the country. China's manufacturing is centered around coastal, river, and railway access. The USA has a distributed highway system for wartime variability/survivability.

China is dependant on oil imports. The USA in a net oil exporter.
