Just because alcohol is deeply ingrained in Western culture doesn't mean you should feel guilty saying alcohol is unconditionally bad for society, when it took your dear friend and almost your wife, twice.

Your counterargument here seems to be: "Interviews suck because they don't measure the right things anyway. Therefore it's okay for candidates to use an AI tool during the interview process, even though employers explicitly forbid them from doing so."

I don't see any validity to this argument.
Yeah, my machine connects over WiFi on an external USB 3 adapter because I'm too lazy to finish my Ethernet project. The adapter requires drivers, which are handily included on the device itself as a mass storage device. But there's seemingly no way to get those drivers installed in the captive environment, I even tried using the "launch cmd" key shortcut and manually running the executable, but Windows wouldn't have it. And there's no option to install drivers so you can proceed with Microsoft Account sign in...

Literally my only option was to use the local account bypass. How long before they fully remove that, though, remains to be seen.

Many "stable" companies are still laying people off. There aren't as many companies one can "stick with for the long haul" as there used to be.
My long retired parents met and worked in publishing. The continued deterioration of the industry is a source of deep sadness for them. I personally however recently found my own ray of hope. By chance I started reading something I really liked, found it was published by a tiny house that has a subscription plan- which is different from an aggregator having a book of the month kind of thing- and publishes super niche unique voices, mostly translations into English. Have read 6 of their books this year, every single one has been just great. Think the breakdown of the big house and homogeneity of the star model leaves space for new shoots to find their audience.

there's nothing automatic about it. the user above you quoted from their paper - the user (person writing the interpreter) must annotate their code to pass hints to the tracing jit.

Well...they could practice their epistemic humility and control over their conscious processes, wonder whether their ideology and models are missing anything important (to the future well-being of the existence of humans on this planet), etc.

Or they could carry on as is.

Yea I thought that was the whole reason. But I guess there was a lot of chasing of physical reasons that wine and other alcohol would be beneficial. I usually heard about antioxidants being cited as a positive.

Stress is generally bad for the body (but note: I am not a doctor), and a little alcohol can be a social lubricant and reduce the stress of social situations or just your life problems in general. If the only real benefit of alcohol is from social lubrication, then its probably an almost impossible thing to find causation, just too many factors to deal with.

That is not an option in this environment; too many companies use that as the gatekeeper. From a company's point of view, if someone refuses to take the test, that's okay because there are hundreds of other applications who will gladly do it.

I'm somewhat disappointed:

- You don't have a "free" option with a nefarious EULA for one thing. That needs to be there.

- Something something telemetry opt-out (but hey, if you opt-in, it actually works!).

- Discord. With a minimum of 10+ outdated text channels. No mods.

- An open source project on GitHub to empower devs with the option to self-host. That's always nice. Just make sure to leave enough spaghetti in there so that most people give up trying to get it running after a day or two. Probably doesn't hurt to "forget" a file or two from the private repo either, just to be sure.

Their first demo flight was plagued with thruster "valve mapping errors" which could have been catastrophic (eg, it could have caused it to collide with the ISS).

>"Boeing described the new software problem as “a valve mapping software issue, which was diagnosed and fixed in flight.” According to the company, “That error in the software would have resulted in an incorrect thruster separation and disposal burn. What would have resulted from that is unclear.”"[1]

My understanding was that was found by happenstance only after they were reviewing the code after an unrelated comms error. Makes you wonder how many untested latent bugs are in the software.

At least chimes are language-agnostic. Verbal warnings like "pull up" are only good if you have a reasonable grasp of English.
And if you have a "free market" the big utility companies are going to eat each other over time until you end up with de-facto regional monopolies which are then systematically run into the ground, extracting all inherent value, until it's no longer functional and has to be taken over by the government to ensure people can still take hot showers and use their computers. You can't make this shit up.

What I find remarkable is how closely aligned these goals are with the Zig we see today. Andrew is an incredible engineer and, while I don't prefer all of Zig's design decisions, he clearly had a very complete vision for the language from the beginning.
As I said at the top, the plagiarism accusations were extremely thin, and nobody cares about how you word your acknowledgment.

The bottom line is that if Claudine Gay had cracked down hard on students for protesting against Israel's war in Gaza, she would never have faced these accusations, and she would still be president of the university.

I don't particularly care if she was a great president or not. I find it extremely unsettling that a few billionaires were able to oust the president of Harvard, as a way of forcing their own politics on the institution. Since her ousting, Harvard has moved hard against student protesters. Harvard got the message loud and clear, and that message had nothing to do with plagiarism.

There is a massive difference between switching on your new laptop and having a flaming big "look how cool recall is, do you want to switch it on? No? Are you sure" versus finding recall.ai or openrecall.

Funny he calls it the French paradox. Last I heard of that concept it was about secret services giving up on setting traps to spies whose wives couldn’t give two effs about their husband being unfaithful.
“I know and I don’t give a damn”

Otherwise, and being French, we heard it all. Sometimes it’s wine, others it’s butter, cheese, etc when it’s not like “God was born in France” type of thing.

I’m Breton first, Irish second and then eventually French when they’re playing the World Cup, but seriously there are some enzymes, dietary habits and so on that do justify some of the findings.

They used to serve red wine in schools until late 70’s or 80’s can’t remember but there are definitely DNA, habits, regional effects that do come into place I believe.
I got unexpectedly shook up and a bit weepy reading about some of the goings on yesterday. I'm not much of a 'rah rah' guy, but those people stood up in the face of tyranny and many didn't come home.

Depends, where? If you go to a village in India they probably offer you some food so delicious you could never imagine. But in the west alcohol is all people know.
> If your words don't have meaning beyond themselves, what are you even talking about?

...err... of course? That's the whole point.

"Context" here isnt other words. It's the world. The meaning of words is the world.

When I say, "I like what you're wearing" i'm not summarising a history of prior texts; it has nothnig to do with any statistical operation over historical documents. It has entirely to do with what you're wearing.

Langauge use is a side-effect of being embedded in reality, directly attentive to it, and so on. Words are mere symptoms of how we are situated in the world.

LLMs merely replay these back to us. They are not in the world. They cannot, in principle, ever mean, "I like what you're wearing"
I'd love to penalize any attempt at password auth. Not the IP addresses, just if you're dumb enough to try sending a password to my ssh server, you're going to wait a good long time for the failure response.

Actually I might even want to let them into a "shell" that really screws with them, but that's far outside of ssh's scope.
Ah, you're afraid of sudden price changes? That makes sense, though (at least for my frame) I cache the responses, so after a few days I don't make any more API calls, everything comes from the cache.
In my lifetime virtually everything that was once good for you (wine, high grain diet, non-fat foods) is now a bad and vice versa (eggs, high fat - low carb foods).

And articles like this one have been appearing in some variation my entire life. My take away, long ago, is that nutrition is fundamentally complex and poorly understood topic and any extreme opinions are likely to be inverted.

On the topic of alcohol, one things that has really become clear to me, is how directly tied to my environment drinking is. I've always liked to have a beer with dinner, but whether or not that was my only drink or one of many has much less to do with my personal decisions and much more to do with my environment, and I've noticed the same goes for most people.

Many of us became pretty serious drinkers during the pandemic. As it eased up I never made the decision to drink less, I just naturally drank less.

Point being is that no only am I skeptical of the claims of what I should and should not consume, I'm skeptical of entirely how much agency I have to change what I should consume baring case where the impact is immediate.

>Fascinating, for whatever reasons, I thought they were years ahead, and Nvidia’s (and apple) only option.

It's easy to get that impression based on all the recent talk about TSMC and Taiwan's importance to the global economy. My understanding is that while TSMC is currently ahead, the lead over Intel and Samsung is very slight. Intel was historically the global leading-edge producer until relatively recently, and there is no reason to think that it (or Samsung, or even someone else) cannot regain the lead. Intel is, as I understand it, the first purchaser of ASML's newest lithographic machines, in hopes of leapfrogging TSMC.
Perhaps at a university where all students in the same class need to SSH to the same place, possibly from the same set of lab machines. A poorly configured sshd could allow some students to DoS other students.

This might be similar to the workplace scenario that you have in mind, but some students are more bold in trying dodgy things with their class accounts, because they know they probably won't get in big trouble at an university.
> Getting buzzed feels good. Not healthy, but feels good.

Does it though? I did not drink for a while now, but basically, if anything, it just attenuated feelings that felt bad a bit. But it never made me feel good per se.
I don't understand how recall even got launched. No one should have spent money developing it.

Yes, the idea is cool. But even if you trust Microsoft it's obviously a privacy and security nightmare. How many people would install a keylogger on their own system? And then make that keylogger trivial to search through? It just makes windows computers extremely valuable targets for hackers and I'll ban them on my networks even if relay isn't enabled.

Edit: I imagine there's going to be fewer keyloggers developed. Microsoft provides one for you, that's officially signed, legitimate, and won't trip antivirus systems. Attackers now just need to make programs that turn on replay. They can then wait. User sees replay running? They blame Microsoft. Legitimate software is so buggy that it's not going to set off alarm bells. That virus just needs to lay dormant for a week or so. And if the user already had replay running, well then the attacker can extract information prior to their infiltration. Stuff that wouldn't normally be logged even if the user had a keylogger.
Simon Wardley and Tudor Girba Chat about Moldable Development [video]

I give NVIDIA about 4 years before M_A_G (-AN) develop their own AI chips. NVIDIA's stock is way overvalued in the long run once their few customers are satiated and so will eventually tank, and could go under if they over-expand on the basis of a couple of temporary, whale customers. Their only hope is to ship as much as possible and raise prices while customers are panic buying like it's toilet paper during COVID.
> The state revoking the statement "license #12345678 is a valid credential for Bob Smith".

"#12345678" as I used it was the "driver's license number". This isn't a serial number for the issued credential, but rather a numeric name for the given person. Adding a serial number for each issued credential such that there can be an online revocation protocol might make sense, but it's not what we have now.

Banks, and especially online banks, are definitely optimizing for account opening convenience rather than caring about fraud. They could most certainly require a notarized form to open an account (which requires verifying an ID in person), they'd just rather not because it would interrupt some new customers signing up. Which is why I say the main regulatory reform we need starts with making them fully cover the damage they've opted for. If they continue to make the same tradeoff that's fine - as long as they stop harming the public with the backscatter.

Also as I said in my original comment, we need a privacy law like the GDPR before it makes sense to support any smoother systems of authentication. The existing identification systems are already being abused so routinely and thoroughly by the surveillance industry, so this isn't an abstract concern. As things currently stand there are virtually no regulations on creating surveillance dossiers, so the more friction keeping businesses away from frivolously asking for ID (and then backhauling your activity), the better.
What you said reminded me of this Royal Road (https://www.royalroad.com/home) website I came across. It is not physical publishing (at least I don't think so), but it is a large collection of different authors who release books / work incrementally. The work mainly seems to be fiction of different varieties.

There's a slight problem to the idea of "hyperpleasures": Your brain cannot uphold any state of excitement for longer than roughly fifteen minutes. It doesn't matter if it's a panic attack or the state of total bliss.

Unless you overwrite this with a drug that blocks the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters/hormones in your brain.

That's why video games or social media use small dopamine hits. That's also why TikTok/Youtube shorts work so well and why people loose their attention span and have issues following over a longer time. No dopamine hit when watching a 2 hour movie compared to the constant hits by other stuff.

So there is not a hyperpleasure that just boosts you into space when it comes to games and stuff, instead there is this drip of constant, small dopamine hits that gets you addicted.

This is all well known and documented when it comes to gambling addictions, especially in the context of gambling machines like one armed bandits and such.
I once made that exact threat in my food service days, but it was to protect me from my manager.

I was the assistant manager of the store, and for some reason my boss decided that she was going to pit the new employee against me. So she would tell the new employee I was talking bad about her, then get on me for things I allegedly said to/about her. It was obvious to me because the things she was claiming I said were things I'd never tell an employee.

I finally got tired of it and said "Okay, if you're going to keep accusing me of saying things that I'm not, I'm going to buy a bodycam and will gladly let you show me where this is allegedly happening in my footage."

After that, all of the accusations stopped. The new employee realized that we were being played, and we ended up being pretty good friends.
It does for some people.

Either way, hardly a reason to make it illegal.
Drinking during celebrations are some of my favorite memories. Its like we're all already happy and high on good news, think weddings or big sales news or getting a big project completed. And then we drink because the worries of the world are behind us, now the happiness is uninhibited and jovial. I like to think those moments add time to your life.

My experience is that < 500M models are pretty useful when fine-tuned on traditional NLP tasks, such as text classification and sentence/token level labeling. A modern LM with a 32K context window size could be a nice replacement for BERT, RoBERTa, BART.

Well... no, we're not. Millions of people are working every day on the technology needed to solve these issues either directly (i.e., better pollution control on factories) or indirectly (i.e,. developing cleaner energy)

This isn't to say we all should just sit back and wait for the scientists to come up with an answer - we do very much need to fix many other issues as well, as you point out - but please let's not pretend that a) WE'RE DOOMED! or b) that we're just waiting for a "miracle" or some kind of "breakthrough" to save us
