Absolutely; but again, if I'm the lawyer on the other side, I'm pretty confident that I'm beating any "expert" on this with the simple logic of:

- You put thing into the machine

- You press buttons, it makes obvious derivative work

- You don't put thing into the machine, and it can't do that anymore.

There is "something" in there GENERATING COPIES and we see exactly where it came from, even if we can't identify it in the code or whatever.

The problem isn't ID cards. European countries also have ID cards but don't have so much surveillance.
I never found my experience that simple. Even at times when I was paying attention which is always in short supply when you need it most.

Libraries are biggest pain point. You don't know what a function really doing unless you have used it before yourself. Docs are not always helpful even when you read them.

Lot of assumptions that may not be totally wrong but not right also. In c++, using [] on a map to access an element is really really dangerous if you haven't read the docs carefully and assumes that it does what you believe it should do.
You'd be surprised at how many "Make money teaching AIs to code!" job postings there are out there now. Taking "training your replacement" to whole new levels.
So what's the scam? I've been getting similar outreach and my imagination fails to come up with any bad scenario, apart from maybe getting a residential IP, if you let them use yours.

It might be a circumvention of ToS, but not everything you find morally dubious is scam.

(I'm still very curious though. Feels like there's somethingore to it but my imagination fails me. Unless you're specifically targeted as a person-of-interest aka spearphishing)
This project has been in the works for about a year. The initial commit to the public repo was not really closely related to this project, it was part of the release of the Transformer debugger, and the repo was just reused for this release.
Good history here (and, you're not incorrect) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passport : modern passports 1920s.

"While the United Nations held a travel conference in 1963, no passport guidelines resulted from it. Passport standardization came about in 1980, under the auspices of the ICAO.

ICAO standards include those for machine-readable passports.

Such passports have an area where some of the information otherwise written in textual form is written as strings of alphanumeric characters, printed in a manner suitable for optical character recognition.

This enables border controllers and other law enforcement agents to process these passports more quickly, without having to input the information manually into a computer."
My point is that stopping all Axis aggression in WW2 was good for everyone. The West may have been imperfect but was orders of magnitude better.

You don’t have to convince me that the Soviets were evil. They were part of the Allies purely because Hitler put them there.

They then immediately started propagandizing the world to undermine the genuine contributions and general legitimacy of the West.
But how do you arbitrage situations where the yields are concentrated in belief discrepancies between two different groups? You just pick the group with the highest yield potential and give up on the other one? Risky. What if there is an overarching narrative change?

This is especially problematic when the group which provides the highest yield potential is further from ground truth because ground truth exerts a kind of gravity on all narratives.

The scapegoating threat is too high for my taste. I'm not well versed in scapegoat selection. Being too strongly tied to a narrative puts you in the crosshairs of the big guys if things don't pan out.

The problem with full narrative buy-in is that it's impossible to spin out of it later because you didn't plan ahead. Some positions are easy to spin out of while others are essentially impossible. Full narrative buy-in doesn't play well with position selection IMO.
well in the long run the naysayers were right. the personal PC business is strewn with dead companies scrounging for pennies. it is basically a loss leader. FAANG - which one of those make PCs? oh right, none of them except Apple which has like a 1 percent PC market share which is used to make apps and videos for phones.

> the US govt will step in to bail Boeing out when things go really bad

Even an optimistic bail-out scenario involves the stock being wiped clean. (For example, what we did with the automakers.)

Given the bipartisan frustration with Boeing, I'd fully expect calls for clawbacks that make failure personally painful for Boeing's leadership.
It was rolled out through Windows update, so I'm not confident the end users authorized it.
having played another valve title where every other match has at least a cheater (counter-strike), i empathize with the playerbase. however, looking at other titles valve makes or is making, it seems unlikely that valve is going to take any measures that will solve the problem.

their cash cow or main source of attention is cs2. people thought moving away from decades-old engine to a decade-old engine will solve things, but it clearly did not stop cheaters.

on the other hand, it has been leaked that valve is already making another squad shooter that derives from tf2. with the efforts split between these two titles, valve is often known to prioritize away from other titles. csgo had this while dota2 had its limelight, while the inverse can be said today with cs2.

We were planning to release the paper around this time independent of the other events you mention.

It's funny, the slowness of the intern is probably a feature. You delegate, and you don't have to deal with it until you are refreshed.

With AI, you delegate, and then you need to review in the next minute while you are still exhausted.

I had a Dell work laptop that did the same thing. As far as I was able to tell the system had a bug/fault that continuously asserted the CPU's BD PROCHOT line when the integrated webcam was active. I don't think it was an Intel bug, the CPU was just responding to the external signal that (falsely) indicated the system was overheating.
Yes, I know about Conjure as I am a relatively frequent user of Fennel. One of my projects was, at one point, the third or fourth most starred Fennel project on GitHub. Thank you for reminding me about it; I may decide to borrow some ideas from it, as I'm finding more and more cases where Lua is used. The latest revelation is that mpv can be extended with Lua, and I just found out about it. I jokingly call Fennel "the best formatter for Lua code; it makes your Lua look much nicer..." :)

Thank you once again. I tip my hat to you, my fellow vimmer, as another die-hard vimmer who, quite amusingly, happens to be on Emacs.

Chrome extension: Navigate ChatGPT.com prompts with ease
Hi folks,

For anyone that use the ChatGPT website a lot, I made this chrome extension to see all your conversation prompts in one place and be able to navigate to any prompt with a single click.

I always found scrolling on chat history difficult and often times forgot what I had asked before. I built this extension for myself and wanted to share it with the world. It's a very simple extension. Nothing sophisticated.

Maybe I'll add more features like color labeling, export, custom ordering, etc if people will find it useful.

Thanks.
Cool idea, I share interesting posts I come across using screenshots with the link of the bot saved in the right folder. This seems a lot faster as I don't have to navigate to the right onedrive folder. On my phone it's pretty much impossible so I have to send it to a dummy discord server I made to later transfer on my pc.

Stupid Slow: The Perceived Speed of Computers
I've had trouble with futex congestion. Worst case was under Wine. Wine has DLL files which emulate various Microsoft libc-level functions. They have their own memory allocator. It has three nested locks, some of them have spinlocks, and at least one is locked while a "realloc" call is in progress and a buffer is being recopied.

Now try a multi-thread program compute bound program with more threads than CPUs that does Rust vector "push" operations. Push causes an array to grow, locks get set, other threads hit locks, threads go into spinlock mode, threads inside spinlocks context switch, lose control, and performance drops by two orders of magnitude. Most CPU time is going into spinlocks.

I'm not convinced that user-space spinlocks are a good idea. If you're never compute-bound, they can work, but if you run out of CPU time and a context switch occurs inside a spinlock, it's all downhill from there.

Windows itself doesn't do this; it has a different locking strategy.
I also am against policies that only allow rich to do stuff, annoyed by this idea that rich can always buy their way out of things, if there’s a problem with cars then just ban it for all
Not confused at all - both have to work because both can work. Supply increases, so ‘price’ decreases per person. Forest wise.

Previously, women (unless celibate or okay having abortions a lot) had no choice but to spend time at home, which forced the market in that direction.

And I’m also not confused about birth control availability. You’re confusing ‘theoretically available’ vs ‘socially acceptable available’, which those societies haven’t hit yet. Ideologically, they’re very resistant - but changing.

Just like the changes in the US (starting to be possible in the 60’s) didn’t become the norm until the 80’s to 90’s or later. American Catholics have been okay with birth control since then (roughly), where South American Catholics are still against it.

Which, notably, is when the US started to become more heavily two-income household dependent. And when wages stopped keeping up with growth.

Without birth control being possible, none of it matters - which is why it being possible is actually important. And why we’ve been seeing steady change in societies since it has become possible.
Shared memory address space is a couple (IIRC) orders of magnitude faster to access than any IPC mechanism. Even on modern very fast machines IPC will add noticeable overhead if you tried to replace threads with processes.

I've spent some time evaluating MacOS tiling apps. Rectangle is one of them. I've so far given up on all of them because they lack the ability to directionally reassign focus.

So like if I have windows in four corners, and focus is in the bottom left, I want something like ?-k ?-l to move focus up and then right. Now focus should be in the upper right window. Have I missed it? Does rectangle make this possible?

Amethyst (xmonad inspired) gets close, but I want directionality, not cycles within cycles.

So far my solution is to just use i3 on my desktop and have a bunch of ssh sessions into my macbook, which is fine until I do a clipboard-yank through the ssh session and wonder why I can't paste the contents into the browser on the linux side.
I think this will backfire sooner than later, Imagine a dictator living "100 healthy and productive years" or a billionaire amazing more and more wealth for longer whereas poor people are kept working for longer with poorer and poorer conditions.

When AI is used properly, it’s doing one of two things:

1) Making non-controversial fixes that save time and take cognitive load off the developer. The best example is when code completion is working well.

2) It’s making you smarter and more knowledgeable by virtue of the suggestions it makes. You may discard them but you still learn something new, and having an assistant brainstorm for you enables a different mode of thinking - idea triage - that can be fun, productive, useful and relaxing. People sometimes want completion to do this also, but it’s not well suited to it beyond teaching new language features by example.

The article makes an interesting assertion that AI tools “fail to scale” when the user has to remember to trigger the feature.

So how can AI usefully suggest design-level and conceptual ideas in a way that doesn’t require a user “trigger”? Within the IDE, I’m not sure. The example given of automated comment resolution is interesting and “automatic”, but not likely to be particularly high level in nature. And it also occurs in the “outer flow” of code review. It’s the “inner flow” that’s the most interesting to me because it’s when the real creativity is happening.

Note that we focus on random positive activations, which are less susceptible to interpretability illusions than top activations (but also look less impressive as a result). We also provide access to random uncherrypicked features, whereas Anthropic does not. We made these choices deliberately to give as accurate an impression of autoencoder feature quality as possible.

Also note that GPT-4 is a more powerful model than Sonnet, which makes it harder to train autoencoders with the same quality features.
> Are you saying that the TCP stack in the kernel cannot be trusted, but a userspace kernel you maintain can(that's a bit ridiculous...

Yes that’s exactly right. It’s not ridiculous. Netstack is written in a GC’d language which alone eliminates several categories of vulnerabilities that exist in the kernel. But more important than that is that it’s in USERSPACE. So even if you do compromise gVisor netstack the best you have is the capabilities that any other normal process has. Compare that to the kernel vulnerabilities where you potentially have cracked root.

> You're still at the mercy of the kernel for security patches to the UDP stack, you're just now also having to maintain a TCP stack in parallel.

The TCP stack is at least an order of magnitude more complex than UDP and has a correspondingly much higher number of bugs filed against it. Only relying on UDP is a security win.
I think a lot of this generative AI is going to be like fiber deployment in the late 90s.
The movers and shakers are paying top-dollar for improvements that will have a brief shelf-life. Just as the googles and facebooks were able to buy dark fiber for pennies-on-the-dollar in the early 00s, some other upstart is going to bargain AI tools and talent from the adobes and openais of the world for a similar discount.

That is to say, adobe is most likely doing this to train models that will put their current customers out of business. They probably think they're cutting-out the middleman for a better margin, but this seems like a greedy bet that could easily go sideways.
Lets assume this rule is only about living spaces, and not other assets and infrastructure.

I like building and improving houses. I have one in the bay area I work to improve.

I have built a mountain home in the Sierra Nevada, and am working on a desert home in Nevada. These take nothing away from anyone. They were empty land surrounded by more empty parcels before I did something with them.

There is no shortage of land and nothing is stopping someone else from doing the same. When I die, they will probably be sold off, and there will be more options. until then, nobody is worse off. I have thought about renting them out, which is still better than if they never existed.

Who am I hurting, and why should I be forced to sell?

If there was a law I couldnt own three houses, I simply wouldnt build them.

Autism is considered primarily genetic and it's inheritable.

What we don't yet understand is the complex set of genetic interactions that result in ASD.

Here's one study: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2215632120 but there are dozens if not hundreds more like this.

Your claim that ASD is not genetic is extraordinary and counter to the prevailing scientific understanding, and requires significant evidence to back up.

> Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai was awarded compensation worth more than $225 million in 2022, which marked a staggering 3,474% increase from the previous year, making him the nation's highest-paid CEO, according to Equilar data.

If I did the math right, the increase was $218,500,000 and they laid off 12,000 workers (higher than the 10k predicted in the article) so the pay increase was about $18,200 per worker laid off. That's just the CEO, so unknown if other executive also received increases. Perhaps that's within your acceptable range, I'm not sure
Ah, thanks. I paused and came back here, saw this comment, then went back and let the balls go by.

I regularly use both atmega328p (Arduino Uno) and stm32g0 (st-nucleo boards) microcontrollers for hobby projects. The linux toolchain for both are equally good. But the Nucleo boards are a lot cheaper than Arduino Uno/Mega boards, have a lot more capabilities, any are 32-bit microcontrollers.

I am actually fascinated with the things you can do with stm32 chips. If I ever do a commercial project, I would definitely use stm32 chips. Bare metal programming them has been a lot of fun.
I just realized I forgot to mention this before: that shim actually did exist for about 10 years. It was deprecated in GTK3 and then finally removed in GTK4. If 10 years is too short a warning to give for removing a deprecated API, and this offense is apparently so bad that it ruins the credibility of the whole project, then I really don't know what could be expected of the maintainers.
