Bruh lol. Thinking it doesn't happen at "top tier" universities is like thinking because the rich don't need to steal they don't. When in reality they steal just as much because why not.

I just finished my PhD at a "top tier" university. Everyone plays the same exact tricks. My group all self-cited and our collaborators and back and forth.

So there's no such thing as "top tier" as far as the quality goes, there's only higher paid.

tl;dr: GA's geometric product is a mixed-grade differential form, which is quite weird. Why not just think in terms of differential forms? Maxwell's equations are so sweetly summarized as dF=0 and d*F = J.

Hi HN, I'm Dario, a passionate developer with a love for productivity tools. I use ChatGPT extensively for various projects, from coding to brainstorming new ideas. However, I often found myself frustrated with the lack of organization in the chat history. Important conversations would get lost, and I'd spend too much time searching for them.

That's why I decided to create this Chrome extension. I wanted a simple yet effective way to keep my ChatGPT conversations organized and easily accessible. By building this tool, I've streamlined my workflow and saved countless hours. I hope this extension can do the same for you. I'm excited to share it with the community and would love to hear your feedback!
Not everything in Linux have a source code available for users. And you may want to use i.e. Chrome, or some games, or some drivers by i.e. NVidia. And that without counting BIOS or whatever deep down computers use, most of what you could use as social network/mail solution, and not found yet trojans like what happened with xz in some basic tool.

Having the source is a good start, but having a "lawful" powerful active player that actively want to intrude should be part of the equation. It was a formidable threat a decade ago, nothing was done about that, and now is even more advanced than what was then.

If I were to develop a retail product, when it came time to put a price on the package, you can be sure that I would collect data to see how much people were willing to pay for the product. That’s hardly “stop-the-presses!” headline news.

I made multiple predictions about multiple countries plus some US states.

> "...at least not in a way that sticks."

The situation is changing very fast, faster than legislators can move. Even a bad law can give victims some power of legal discovery to prevent deepfake porn of them being made or published to public forums with the intent of harassing them. Equally they can also have a a chilling effect on (non-deepfake-porn) speech and set dangerous precedents.

I'd expect NZ, Canada and western EU countries will (or already are) rush out some legislation. In the US it will depend on the individual state; 20 already have some legislation, but per the article their laws vary hugely. The Canadian federal Privacy Commissioner is scrutinizing Pornhub (Aylo Holdings) for previously allowing material without adequately verifying consent.

All this area will surely be an active matter in policy-making, legislation and courts, ongoing: non-consensual deepfake porn and related issues (online identity rights, e.g. the Scarlett Johansson soundalike controversy), and the counterbalance on privacy and government intrusion.

A standard might emerge for digitally signing explicit photos/videos by multiple parties, allowing people to add or remove consent.
I have heard dreaded comments from *JS ecosystem users that the packages go to unmaintained state and there is just too much noise in the ecosystem. Very few packages thrive and live for longer periods... and eventually results in a lot of rewrites for newer engine support.

Also, does it add to a non-maintainable code (or result in a complete rewrite) in a period of six months to one year?

I don't code much of web apps as I'm a system's guy who still code in C where the created programs are running fine across OS versions without dependencies and many have crossed decades of use without resulting in any security issues.

Most of them are for security and system's utility purposes and does some complex work on media and security pipelines.

Also, many hours have gone into making them secure from the general RUST / GoLang fortification offering perspective as I am against using RUST or GoLang as I have got some experiences with them on the long term maintainability and support.

Some of the created programs run fine with OSes older since the early day's of SUSE to the modern rolling versions of Linux (and almost all versions of Windows since Windows NT till date) without any modifications. It cannot be guaranteed with RUST or GoLang or with any other stack other than C...

Sorry for the deviation though!

I think this depends on your bubble.

I just typed "Colleen Hoover" (the writer in the article) and the worst I saw in my search results was someone saying she read all of her books and they suck. Sure, maybe the BookTok bubble hates her, but you have to be pretty deep into it. I also typed for comparison the names of several infamous developers, and the only one who would raise an eyebrow among non-tech people is the one who was convicted of murder.

This question is almost rhetorical. Yes, competition drives innovation. When Ryzen APUs only had Intel to worry about, they rested on their laurels with stagnating but still superior performance. Intel did the same thing with 4c/8t desktop CPUs during the Bulldozer dark age.

SoCs are good for the segments they target but they're by no means the be-all-end-all of personal computing. The performance of discrete graphics cards simply can't be beaten, and desktop users want modularity and competitive perf/$. Framing the distinction between a highly integrated SoC-based computer and a traditional motherboard+AIB arrangement as a quantitative rather than a qualitative difference is an error.

Both Intel and AMD have already received Apple's wakeup call and have adjusted their strategies. I also think it's unfair to say that nothing has changed until just now. I consider Ryzen 6000 to be an understated milestone in this competition with a big uplift in iGP performance and a focus on efficiency. There's a wide gap to close, sure, but AMD and Intel have certainly not been standing still.

Apple's vertical integration and volume made them uniquely suited to produce products like the Mx line, so it makes sense that they were able to deliver a product like this first.
They are claiming that it is privacy preserving, since it uses AI and not humans, and only for catching csam

Assuming those claims are true(I know, that is a big ask, but they claim it) what function do exceptions provide unless they are purposely giving those exceptions for the production and distribution of csam by those groups?

More likely their claims of the privacy and/or purpose are false.

That it doesn't matter that the saving is trivial. I think it's a signal of one of two things: Either they want a popular committee dependent on their income and easy to manipulate. Or we're to see lots of savings at any cost at any opportunity. That's what I meant by "losing less" - not a truism, but a beginning of doing anything and everything to reach breakeven. And lots of it will be stupid and not make a difference apart from making things just a bit worse.

But the good thing about the EU and a lot of its programmes is that the future generations in each are more and more well-travelled and more and more accepting of other members' cultures.

Give it enough time and the people of the bloc will learn how to deal with their neighbours' cultures.
> The amount of engineering resources poured into just making JavaScript fast is mind-numbing. But even "just" providing a light, mostly standards-compliant browser with a sorta-good-enough performance would be great.

AI professor here. Most of AI is much closer to engineering or our knowledge of electricity before Maxwell, where we had been using it for 100+ years with big gaps in our understanding.

Statistical learning theory is the branch of AI that is closely aligned with mathematics and is very proof heavy; however, my learning theory friends lament that what they can contribute in the current era is much more limited than 20+ years ago, where they gave us algorithms like boosting.

Neither of those is my argument and it's quite obvious you're arguing in bad faith.

Here's my argument restated: "inequality is a far stronger contributor to unhappiness than absolute wealth."

This is an empirical fact, not a belief or a wish about the way the world ought to work, and it overrides your belief/wish that people "should" just care about absolute living standards.

You said, "there is no reason to believe that one person being insanely well off makes someone else worse off." This is quite literally incorrect. This has been studied. There is plenty of reason -- i.e. empirical evidence -- to believe exactly that.

Here's a simple question: was every person in the 1100s woefully depressed/anxious/angry to a far greater degree than any modern first-worlder dissatisfied with their station in life?

If no, then your premise is disproven. People's happiness and satisfaction are not determined by their absolute standard of living (regardless of whether you think they should be).

Also, the Chinese Internet is "self-segregating".

You know how it is with the Great Fire Wall: you can't visit some outside websites from inside. Wikipedia was blocked completely in 2019.

There's actually another direction: you can't visit some inside websites from outside:

Most Chinese apps/websites are required by law to be tied to person identities. That means they have to be registered by phone number. In China, one person = one phone number. Without Chinese phone numbers, most Chinese apps/websites simply refuse to even let you use it.

There is no way to get a phone number without physically going to a Chinese phone-card bureau and present your ID card.

Indeed, it is getting difficult for foreigners nowadays to visit China. Without a phone number they can't do anything with Chinese apps, but they need that. Getting a phone number requires presenting a passport and a valid visa.

Foreign map apps are usually broken in China.

Foreigners who are not physically located within China are just trouble, from the Chinese point of view. Not only do they not want Chinese people to use foreign apps, they also don't want foreign people to use Chinese apps.

A few months ago I tried registering a QQ account. The "International" version is no longer maintained. When I tried nevertheless the last known good version, it just threw an error. The "domestic" version does not work when the phone is not physically located within China, and requires a Chinese phone number anyway.

About 2 weeks ago I noticed that Zhihu also stopped allowing you to expand long answers without an account. And of course, to register an account, you need a damned phone number. At least it allows American phone numbers.

Philosophically, I think it is the resurgence of the Chinese security mindset: Forbid all inside-outside contact by default. We have everything we need at home anyway.

This is actually a good callout. While pipeline speedups of transforms is hugely important, lots of other fundamental python tools for viz, model examination, etc are not built on a different foundation and not optimized by pandas improvements.

I get it: some of these are legacy, others are hand optimized python since default pandas is so slow. But I'm hoping that, over time, we'll improve the runtime of the other stages of analysis too.

In many many cases this doesn't work and it crashes and burns the whole project/startup company when its necessary.

Sometimes messing up your fundamental architecture means that you hit a refactoring your company won't survive (while your competition grabs all the customers who wanted that feature your architecture doesn't allow).

This is where experienced lead engineers earn their worth - they understand which parts cannot be fudged and fixed later and need to be there from the get go.
sigh. If you want to play project pedigree games; Matrix was actually the result of two existing teams - one in the UK and one in France, which happened to get acquired by Amdocs and then subsequently spun out once we'd created Matrix.

That page in particular is a pile of FUD; it keeps banging on about "impressive collection of private data being sent to Matrix central servers, even when you use your own instance" which is simply categorically untrue; it looks like they misread the privacy policy of the Matrix.org server at https://github.com/element-hq/policies/blob/master/docs/matr... and somehow assumed it applied to everyone's server instances. It doesn't, any more than https://www.w3.org/policies/privacy applies to a given random webserver on the internet :|

> 15% overall is good but nothing earth shattering

Interestingly though the 9700X seems to be rated at 65W TDP (compared to a 105 TDP for the 7700X). I run my 7700X in "eco mode" where I lowered the TDP to max 95 W (IIRC, maybe it was 85 W: I should check in the BIOS).

So it looks like it's 15% overall more power with less power consumption.
Platform is great but support is next to useless. It’s all boilerplate responses and like they didn’t even read your question. You’ll ask for clarification on something and they will parrot back the exact block of documentation that you ask for clarification on.

Also, and this might be an isolated thing, but their guide for Google Pay on Android is out of date and wrong. They talk (at least when I last checked less than 6 months ago) about having to submit a special build of your Android app to Google to get approved first and they don’t even mention registering as a Google Pay merchant IIRC (or their guide is very outdated). It was outdated 3 years ago and since I last looked it’s still wrong.

China will (and does to a certain extent) care about the environment because they know it will eventually be a massive problem for them. Their single-party state has only managed to stay in power because it's been very good at driving up the standards of living. And you can only pollute so much before those standards stop going up and people start to get displeased, which is why they've been trying so hard to move up the value chain and export their pollution to other countries (via cheap loans).
