Despite your smug attitude, the evidence you just linked is nothing new and does not contradict the person you were replying to, did you even read the report?

Well I did (again), so let's take it from the top:

- Russia hacked into various local & state election boards, scary right? But in the very same report we learn this from, it's detailed this had no influence on vote tallies.

- Russia's state media outlets preferred one candidate over the other and made efforts to promote them. This one shocked me the most since I'm sure everyone before now assumed Russia's state media outlets would never push Russian propaganda! Who would have thought? Guess I'll have to get all my completely unbiased news from Aljazeera, Xinhua and KNCA from now on.

- Finally Russia is credited with Guciffer 2.0 and DCLeaks. Which likely had the most impressive (relative) impact but are also the most likely to trigger an argument at the dinner table since the evidence crediting these hacks to them are highly dubious.

Not mentioned in the report, oddly enough, was the ad campaigns they ran on various social media platforms to promote fringe candidates to increase national discord. Sounds clever but these ads were pretty terrible, good idea bad execution.

Even if we credit Russia for the DCLeaks and Guciffer hacks, which I personally believe they are undeserving of, Russia's attempts at "interference" were rife with incompetence, much like anything Russia tries. It's noteworthy that one of your links detailed one of their failures as so dramatic it resulted in the arrests of 13 participants!

If you were to combine everything I've listed here and compare it with any single propaganda operation performed by Israel, would you truly consider Russia's attempts more impressive? Certainly not the person you were replying to, and certainly not me.

Not to mention China's attempts, which in both scale and scope eclipses anything Russia has tried:

The point is that the user doesn’t need to do either of the things you mentioned. Privilege escalation is common and how malware often works. The impact of such escalation just went up significantly.

You seem to be looking at this from the standpoint of a user doing dumb stuff things with their windows configuration (also common) vs. the very active ongoing malware campaigns against windows and how this changes the playing field for such malware and the makers of malware.

In a world where privilege escalation is common and expected, it makes no sense to deploy a database of highly sensitive data without robust security.

It’s a bit like storing money in your car in a city known for high rates of car theft.

Being offered one night in a shelter that won't let you and your wife sleep in the same room is not a good faith example of being offered housing. It's not at all surprising that people prefer living on the streets to sleeping in a crappy shelter.
There was a huge thread within the last couple days: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40578414

Have there been developments since then?
Role of Governance, Risk and Compliance in Safe AI Implementation
I’ve only read the abstract. It says that they have experiments to back their claims. So, that’s a proof claim with experimental data. It’s in a field where most learning happens by experimental exploration, too.

I don’t think it will hold us back. If anything, it’s very exciting to see how many people in the ML field are challenging the status quo from many, different angles.
Tinnitus can also be caused by tumour (Vestibular schwannoma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_schwannoma). I sometimes hear high pitched sound (like hiss) in my left ear and have hearing loss of higher frequencies. I was luckily that it was discovered at MRI with contrast. You can treat it with gamma knife ( Radiosurgery ), but sadly in my case it quite near the nerve, so I can't do it, but lucky it is too small for surgery and isn't malignant. So currently I have to simply go to MRI yearly and observe.

(After party i got quite sick with bacterial infection, and that caused me to go few doctors, one I think sixth doctor audiologist recommended to me MRI, as this is quite rare)
The hijacking of generators as strictly learning tools vs being productive is something I think some communities really struggle with.
Gravity Without Mass: UAH Study Proposes Alternative to Dark Matter
Reading that abstract, I'm not sure what is being claimed here. They say "the “state” in common SSMs is an illusion:"
Is this a claim that the
activations within a state space model contain no state or that it cannot contain an arbitrary state. The former seems trivially false and the latter seems completely uncontroversial.
I use tmux basically the same way but prefer tmux sessions because I find tabs hard to navigate reliably.

With tmux I can assign a name to each session, list all sessions, and have keyboard shortcuts to take me to a specific session or create it if it doesn't already exist. <leader>+J always opens projectfoo, <leader>+K projectbar, etc.

With tabs you need to know which tab contains what and what order everything is in.
I’m sorry I was not very clear with my question. The review is negative- saying the ‘white’ is more like a dark purple color. I’m not asking how well it shows purple- but the general quality of the display itself.
> This is the biggest nasty secret about cloud (and SaaS for things you don't build in-house).

Yep. Huge amounts of marketing funds are spent tricking decision-makers into thinking that off-the-shelf, plug-and-play solutions exist for their idiosyncratic business problems and schemas.

Sometimes such products exist, but they are so bloated with features to support the other 99% of customers. So you absolutely need at least one expert to unwind the complexity.

It's known that "greenfield" software development is much easier than "brownfield"/migrations. It should also be widely known that brownfield SaaS integrations are troublesome, because it involves enormous software+data work to link the existing in-house interfaces to the third-party interfaces. As a rule of thumb, there is no such thing as "off-the-shelf". You WILL have to hire and build and deeply understand your business processes.
I built an open-source project to recommend the best computing resource configuration for ai application, but no reply or feedback at all. So I wonder if AI application developers care about their GPU utilization now? Or I target the wrong audience?

I found a youtube of drone footage of flying around starship and I think the camera is pointing south west like this (time set to 6 seconds in)

https://youtu.be/0sA9rGc80Y4?t=6

whereas from the tower it would be looking north east.

Even if you can get the resolution from a drone camera, the shot looks like someone spent quite a while lining everything up to look nice and like the historic NY pic.

Excuse me for not reading the whole article with full attention, perhaps I missed an actual answer to my question, but what I never stop to wonder about is how swap even is a useful element of the whole complexity when I have what can be described as ridiculously big RAM which is far more than enough for anything I do, comparable to my whole SSD drive size and certainly bigger than unused space on it? Also how is having e.g. a 16 GB swap partition/file better than deleting it and installing an extra 32 GB DIMM instead? To me it seems the whole idea of swap should be deprecated (outside embedded kernels) as real RAM is affordable enough to buy any amount you may need is affordable. In fact I have been just getting as much RAM as the motherboard would support (some times unofficially, sometimes with help of BIOS code hacks) and disabling swap since the days of Windows 98.
The playground demo looks good, but how does the model perform under real-world conditions with high demand and diverse user inputs?

That's a bit of a different meaning than the original martial arts thinking.

The end of the first follow (shu) part is where the technique is crisp, distinct, and "right". After that comes pragmatic application (ha) and finally improvisation (ri), which both generally lead to "less right" but more workable technique.

shu = implement B+tree following a guide, long struggle to get it correct, also learn about testing etc tangentially related topics

ha = optimize B+tree using learnings from other various data structures, explore alternatives like LSM/HAMT/etc, use what works, develop understanding of the differences

ri = invent B-epsilon trees yourself
You wouldn't want your mouse driver, for example, being able to see _every_ piece of software in your menu bar by default without extra permissions?

The case for "I need to see what apps are in the menu bar" is so rare there's no setting for it -> "screen recording" is the closest one.
Soviet Union were preparing to invade Hokkaido. My grandfather was staged near Vladivostok and everybody in Soviet military there in summer 1945 expected there would be invasion of Japan.

Japanese knew that Soviet rulers did not care if another million of soldiers died and Soviet occupation was considered much worse outcome. That contributed to their surrender to US.
For sure! This is all a clever trick on their part. Default opt-in and announced through in-app notifications. Total scum.
Link needs a (2021) I think. Repository says 3 years ago. However, they'd probably still be interested as a pattern of evidence thing.
This has been going on for a couple of years now in the UK.
NVIDIA's business these days is dominated by datacenter products that are almost exclusively used with Linux. This has had almost no effect on their approach toward dealing with/integrating with Linux. They did follow in AMD's footsteps and adopted a driver model with an open-source kernel component and closed-source userspace components.
Sometimes with these sorts of organizations their deepest secrets are the meaning of their public symbology.
Not making a judgment. Just an observation that a lot of smaller liberal arts colleges have been closing.

Whether or not hiring college grads is overall a good heuristic, it's probably just one that companies apply for a bunch of reasons--whether those reasons are generally valid or not.
We need more of them. Every mobile optimized website should add PWA. It’s not hard. It only takes a few minutes and there is no downside to it.
What are you going to google though? For most of these LC questions you only need to know how to use arrays, maps and loops. If I'm interviewing you and you tell me you need to google how to append something to an array or check if the element is in a map then I'll think you just haven't written enough code yet.

There are better questions where I do think google should be allowed but they aren't LC-style. Some examples are building APIs or operating on files
But that’s what auth + capture does, though.
> When you resize your browser, you're not testing for responsiveness. You're testing the side effect of how a layout looks when you resize a browser.

Yes, but testing how the layout looks when you resize should test responsiveness or something is wrong with the design.

Who can do more can do less.

The design should not break when resizing, resizing is a legitimate action on a desktop UI, and small windows are legitimate too. If it breaks when resizing and depends on reloading, or on being loaded on a specific device, the design is fragile.

There's no reason the menu can't become stacked while resizing if needed, and there's no reason the content should overflow the window.

(now of course it's important to have all this stuff in mind, but still)

LeCun is very simply wrong in his argument here. His proof requires that all decoded tokens are conditionally independent, or at least that the chance of a wrong next token is independent. This is not the case.

Intuitively, some tokens are harder than others. There may be "crux" tokens in an output, after which the remaining tokens are substantially easier. It's also possible to recover from an incorrect token auto-regressively, by outputting tokens like "actually no..."
>> His divisional heads always had the same answer. Microcomputers—home computing—were a fad. They were low-cost and low-profit. Let others scrabble around in the metaphorical dirt of home computing.

Those views seemed to be relatively common. Just look at those home computer upstarts, many of which were scrambling to make business machines. Apple's follow ups to the Apple II were the Apple III and Lisa, both intended for business. Commodore seemed to have business computers on their plate most of the time. Tandy also pursued the business market. TI was a bit of an outlier in that they were into minicomputers before personal computers, and quickly jumped ship when they turned out to be low profit. Maybe it was different in Europe, but certainly not in North America.

I'm not entirely sure they were wrong either. A lot of companies rose then fell in the home computer market. IBM themselves haven't pursued the home market in decades at this point. Many, if not most, segments consolidated to the point that there was just one company with any meaningful market share. It could even be argued that the real money these days isn't in the hardware or software for the home market, but in the services they enable access to.

A lot of security guards in my city use body cameras. If anything, it's crazy that they don't all wear them.
My bad, I understand now! I think it's at least as good as a Kindle. I understand why someone who is comparing to bleached paper or OLED/modern LCD screens would say it looks purple, but yeah, I have no complaints.

Edited to add: In the picture you can also see the white material at the bottom that is not part of the screen, I would say that is "true white". And the picture also has white pixels on the screen. That's the "dark purple" the review refers to in that case.

I've seen this with restaurant wait staff as well. The issue in that particular case was that someone orders a steak and a bunch of other things. Then claims to have never ordered a steak, therefore refusing to pay for it.
Do you really think people he met on some random hiking trip are "maliciously ignoring obvious facts" as some convoluted political tactic?

Personally I think it's because people have these standard narratives floating around in their mind, and pattern-match them reflexively even when it doesn't make sense.
My math was off!

This nerd sniped me a LOT, I’m wondering if it’s possible for a chemical battery to reach orbital velocity (not escape).

An idealized Tesla would just be its battery (500kg) perfectly dumping energy to mechanical forward speed. Cutting 3/4 of the weight gets you closer to the delta-v you need, but youre still off by a factor of 5. Though orbital velocity, and leaving from the equator and gaining that speed, means you only need to get up to ~7.2 km/s. Still only a third of the way there.

Maybe you could split your battery into chunks, and expel them once they’re expended?

Thanks! I should have known that it would have a wiki entry. Although, I think some of the rules are a bit meh.

In the UK this is extremely common. Bouncers and store security generally wear body cams. I don't think this is a huge issue, as the cameras are only usually writing to a ringbuffer. Most of the time, the camera isn't actually recording as such. In some ways, this is less invasive than store CCTV, which is usually actually recording at all times.

I think that one issue with private security guards using body cams is that there's even less guarantee that you'll get exculpatory evidence from them, as they will just delete stuff that paints them in a bad light. The police at least have procedures in place to reduce the likelihood of that happening, though how well it works in practice, I don't know.

Honestly, there is no way. Even if you do manage to fill out their opt-out forms, they will successfully opt you out of most internal AI training, but metadata will still be trained on and AI projects which are either too important or unmaintained will still use your data. In ten years there will probably be a lawsuit about it and you’ll receive 10 dollars in damages. Oh, and this isn’t unique to Meta, and I have no special knowledge about Meta to inform this. This is just true about all large tech companies.

The only way to be sure is to not use their products.
I expect there's some good stuff in there. The creator of D3.js used to work for the NYTimes doing amazing visualizations. As did some other well-known developers.

My guess is that there will be also be some interesting tooling in there that they used for data-mining massive numbers of scans/pdf's snagged from disinterested/hostile bureaucracies.
