You can save layouts (when I start iterm, it loads multiple windows on different monitors with split panes and tabs the way I like them).

More advanced search with regex support, more advanced paste (can do character encoding transformations, deal with special characters, etc), smarter and configurable text selection, autocomplete (mixed bag, TBH - I use zsh for that), more advanced snippets for repetitive commands, and triggers to notify you when things happen (long running commands finish, certain words pop up eg "error" or "compile done").

It has a basic integrated password manager that allows me to paste passwords I commonly use in the terminal with a keycombo.

It can more tightly integrate with the shell/program. You can select a point with the mouse in vim or the shell and the text cursor will go there, for example.

Some of these may have since poked their way into the built in terminal, but these are some of the main reasons I use iterm. If you spend a lot of time in the terminal, you can enhance your productivity.
The more complicated the codec, the more fascinating the failure modes. I love watching a digital TV with a bad signal, because the motion tracking in the codec causes people to wear previous, glitched frames as a skin while they move.

One of the main reasons we have governments is to solve those sorts of problems. That's how the ozone problem was successfully addressed before.

There were plenty of early warning signs. In a previous dive back in 2019 they had professional submersible designer Karl Stanley on board, who later wrote an email to OceanGate about the worrying cracking sounds he heard.

> "What we heard, in my opinion ... sounded like a flaw/defect in one area being acted on by the tremendous pressures and being crushed/damaged," Stanley wrote in the email, a copy of which has been obtained by CNN.

> "From the intensity of the sounds, the fact that they never totally stopped at depth, and the fact that there were sounds at about 300 feet that indicated a relaxing of stored energy /would indicate that there is an area of the hull that is breaking down/ getting spongy,"

It's more impressive that the sub continued to work while giving warning signs for 4 years.

How VCs Become Assholes
What’s going to happen is they’re gonna ask a Microsoft-provided AI whether employees’ data from Microsoft Recall looks like work, on a scale, and fire the lowest percent or two of that scale every quarter. If running it over data from all the days is too expensive, they’ll pick a day or two to sample and you’ll be retained or fired based on that.

At least I’ve been assuming that’s the main reason MS is making Recall. To issue spyware-reports on corporate workers.
I wouldn't want to work with anyone who thought an activity faker was a good idea. I also wouldn't want a work environment where someone would think they needed that.

But this is really the least of behavioral problems at Wells Fargo:

Oh sure, I don't mean to imply that this "Super Load" poses a threat to major infrastructure. I was simply pointing out that "under 10 mph" is not necessarily a guarantee of safety, and that very massive objects are tricky to handle in lots of ways, mostly due to inertia and balance.
If SpaceX could produce a rocket every 72 hours it would be a concern too.

Also, best of luck in your quest of fighting imaginary villians.

By conflating unrelated things and jumping to conclusions such as that you are not acting as a good ambassador for your country.
I dunno, that’s a pretty cynical take. Isn’t it just as plausible that they became aware of the bribes internally and were trying to curtail them when the scandal broke out? Or maybe the “don’t do bribes” training actually worked enough for someone to whistleblow even if official internal channels failed? Those who are doing wrong often try to stymie others from making positive changes out of fear, greed, etc.

Edit: I just want to add that there are things to be cynical about - I’m not completely naive. If it’s your legal department heading up the training then you can be pretty sure that there was a cause for it.
Long Covid Looks Like Acute Infection in the Brain
Author here! Thanks for pointing that out. The correct model name is indeed "gpt-4" instead of "gpt_model = 'gpt4_20231230_1106preview'". We were previously using an Azure endpoint, which is why the model name is different.

While I understand the frustration, I assure you that the rest of the code is functional. This was a simple oversight and should be a trivial fix. I appreciate your feedback and understanding.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. None of these companies so much as bat an eye when applying the most sweeping, invasive data collection against their users. They should be equally thrilled to have spyware on their LAN that may enable more relevant workplace experiences for their employees.

no sympathy. you're also out of luck using old hardware in the first place because the manufacturer wants you to buy the new version. they will help you LESS than Linux devs. you're point is very unhelpful to the discussion, unless you got drivers updates from the manufacturer
I don’t hear anyone disparaging the ability of Indian companies to build great rockets. ISRO has done some really great work, and deserves lots of credit. But this startup seems to be bragging about making some pretty basic mistakes, like claiming not to need QA without having actually done anything to solve that problem (they didn’t build the 3d printer). So they seem to be doing the same kind of non-serious stuff we see from other vc backed startups all over the world which deserves skepticism.
Security first, but security from whom?

This is true, but it also falsifies Tesla's naming, promotion, abd advertising of the capability as "Full Self-Driving".

("Self-Driving" alone could be reasonable in certain contexts, but insisting on "Full Self-Driving" is a flat-out lie in plain language. Saying " Alan is fully capable of driving the car." means that he requires zero monitoring and/or intervention; same for the "Fully..." phrase.)
I super duper highly recommend iterm2 (macos) + its integrated tmux support. It was relatively popular in my circles at google when I was there.

It comes with this tool’s benefit of native scrolling/cp paste PLUS the huge benefit of “right click to split vertical/horizontal”.
If I remember correctly, the tide began turning against her when she advocated for reopening schools during covid. Also, in her book, she concluded that there wasn't compelling evidence for abstaining from drinking small amounts of alcohol during pregnancy.

It does matter because lack of standing is something that keeps the FDA safe from activists using the court to get their way when they can't do it through the executive or legislative system.

The bigger issue with the FDA will be if a drug/food company sues them over a mandated safety procedure/requirement.

I predict in 10 years this type of surveillance will be standard and accepted in maybe 80% of knowledge worker jobs, especially as AI is integrated into their role.
> A better answer: natural language is the programming language everyone knows.

And when you get into frustrating misunderstanding of details you end up using a programming language anyway. Natural languages are to ambiguous to be useful for specific things. We humans can resolve the ambiguities in our minds, or think we do, based on context. I think the anthropomorphization argument hits closer to home. I feel guilty too of projecting more meaning and intelligence to a generated text and I think I'm not the only one.
What's American tech? I'm a Canadian employed by a Canadian company that is contracted by an American company to develop software for an international, but primarily American, audience. Am I working on American tech?
Now you ignored everything past the first four words of what I quoted.

It doesn't "meddle or leak" your terminal data. OpenAI integration only kicks in after explicit user action. Looking at the screenshots, it appears to only become active for the current terminal pane.

https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/blob/master/images/Onboar...

Also, iTerm is developed by an actual respect-worthy person who actually cares about this kind of stuff, not by an "AI overlord." It's unfortunate that you instantly chose to make baseless spyware accusations in public forums instead of supporting him for creating the software that you've relied on.
Why not go even further? Why not say that the whistleblower was wrong and Microsoft business leadership was right? Maybe their profits from ignoring this issue have been fantastic, and the externalities from e.g. mass theft of national security secrets are not Microsoft's problem.
>We take jobs that aren't our passion because they pay rent. In exchange for the money, employers expect the jobs we sign up for get done.

Most employers also expect fake enthusiasm though, part of their game to squeeze free hours/OT out of everyone.
This whole situation is pretty fascinating; SD makes the best image generator ecosystem ever (in terms of potential/capability) and now it essentially has to spend most of its time deliberately making it worse because "business/society."
It's so weird to me that legally companies can't defend themselves against employees working against them, if it's under the guise of a union.

If an employee is disruptive, hostile, negative and harmful to the environment for any other reason, of course they'd be fired, but if they're agitating for a union then it all becomes protected activity.

If an employee was working against the financial interests of the company in favor of the interests of a competitor, a supplier or a favored customer of course they'd be fired, but if it's a union then it becomes protected activity.

To be clear, I'm not making any judgement on unions or at-will employment or anything as being good or bad, or appropriate/inappropriate in any given situation, industry, etc. I just think it's super weird that from the perspective of the employer, you have an obviously cancerous group inside your organization which is actively working to harm you, but you're not allowed to defend against. It's weird.
Well. You got a lot of bullshit jobs in a organization like Wells Fargo. Those bullshit jobs are sometimes in bullshit teams, managed by a bullshit manager, part of a bullshit division.

It is pretty hard to accurately measure Bullshit Output, because nobody ever agrees about what should be measured and how to measure it, so, the next best thing is counting keystrokes, mouse moves, and hopefully by the next quarter we will start measuring wakefullness, nods and hmmms uttered on zoom calls.
Someone can be a customer without being a vapid fanboy. Criticizing things you use and/or enjoy is actually very healthy.
Tbf, I’ve found it’s a good sign when an org goes through this pain early on - less chance for tech debt to pile up.

Most of my employment has been in the security auditing/testing space, and the difference between “bolting it on later” and “building it in from the start” is incredible from both a purely technical and a process standpoint.
It they (reasonably) charge for the blueprint based on what you say you are building.

The only reason small companies can get a license on easy terms is because of the narrow planned use.
You are correct in the larger sense, I am just pointing out details. Sound checks are part of checks in some places where there are sound limits on vehicles. Some "mufflers" are more like megaphones.

Everything is relative, and compared to other airplane models, the 737max has absurdly high rate of fatality flights. The only commercial model in history with a higher rate of fatal crashes, as far as I can tell, was the Concorde. And we don't use those anymore.
Thank you. Not sure why anyone would write an article about a Supreme Court decision without describing the actual vote. The immediate outcome might be the same, but there’s a big difference in context and meaning between a 5-4 decision and a 9-0 decision.
A likelier explanation is that gravity has a multiplicative / lensatic effect such that observed masses in proximity would actually have a higher gravitational force on a remote mass than the sum of their individual forces. Total hypothesis
MDPI journals are considered predatory by some academics.
Remember Perl 6?
The plasticizing chemicals are largely the monomers of the polymers we consider plastics. So they’re not an additive but rather a fundamental monomer in these polymer chains. Eg bpa is per se the fundamental monomer of vanilla polycarbonate, along with vanilla epoxy chemistry.

The frustrating thing is that eg the bpa substitutes that are used in alternative polymer chemistry to create polycarbonate analogues are chemically similar to bpa and have very high probability of demonstrating similar health issues once relevant science / public health research is supported. Though basically every single plastic monomer has been demonstrated itself to be estrogenic in vitro studies. Even when limited to concentrations that would come from leaching via water or alcohols.

Yes, hence why I take all those company values trainings as Bull******.
I can't even begin to fathom a world where such things exist. Maybe I need to get out more.
Providing objective, accurate, relevant contextual information that reasonably makes people outraged is not in itself an appeal to emotion and outrage.

The information is relevant to how we view Wells Fargo as an ethical entity. Bad food in the cafeteria would not be relevant.
"this is your first step on an incredible journey to fully appreciate how humans ascribe meaning and significance to words they have typed or photographs they have taken..."
And what is a "technology". Can you literally not use anything patented by a third party ever? In court cases like this, technicalities like this matter a lot.
Salt will definitely render the land unusable, but most of those other things are the consumer’s problem, not the producer. I find it highly unlikely that governments in Texas will ever successfully prevent a farmer from growing food on poisoned land, for the same reasons that governments in Texas let these wells become seeping messes in the first place.

Despite what everyone seems to think, SCOTUS isn't actually a permanent unelected legislature and can't just make interventions out of nowhere. Who would you sue to get that ruling? How do you define "American tech"? How do you propose to impose speech restrictions on Americans speaking to foreigners about it?

(Personal interest: I'm a Brit working in the UK for an American parent company)
The previous flight of employees from this part of WF due to unethical activity might suggest those remaining made a choice (perhaps a difficult one, unless they were oblivious). In a situation where someone stayed because they really needed the job, yet the clients have left in droves, keeping-up the appearance of being needed/busy might sound tempting.

I'm definitely not for it, or agreeing with the choice, but I can understand how it might happen. It isn't necessarily that they were being entirely awful (predatory toward their employer).

This is awesome! I hate the way tmux hijacks so much of my terminal's behavior (scrollback, seaching with escape-/, etc.) and I've been looking for something like this that will manage persistent sessions without any extra nonsense.

BTW I think your readme shouldn't just characterize it as a resumeable ssh tool. I often need to start a long running process that I want to reconnect to later, or I want to put some always-on system service inside a tmux container so I can easily jump in and see logs or mess with things in one way or another. There's a lot of utility besides just handling network dropouts.
I am very interested to hear if anyone has any recommendations on the next steps for this project. It's been a fun one!
During my Master's, security was one of the subjects I took. It started with an equation that related risk (how much you'd lose if something bad happened), the probability of that risk, and the cost of mitigating that risk. The instruction being, one tries to find a mitigation that costs less than the exploitation of the risk. And note here that "cost" does not refer to just money, but could be computational cost, energy consumed, etc.
Innovation Depends on Inclusion
You're completely right, but unfortunately people place too much trust in it.
That reads like you’re in a meme cult.

These people didn’t get there purely politically and without merit.

Please consider your perspective but consider if there’s any possible oversight in such a perspective. I try doing that and it’s often helpful to notice things i had not earlier.
These are MLPerf training results. I think current ternary quantization research is focused more on speeding up inference?
Or maybe they scanned the USB vendor ID's for those particular keystroke/mouse simulators off Amazon. Since usually on corporate machines you're not allowed to install software not whitelisted by IT without admin rights.
Hah that's great, I'm mostly joking, but like, at the same time, having spent months not finding anything, I'd rather hear that it's not happening sooner than be strung along. Don't make me do a project if I'm not getting any compensation for my efforts. Time is money, and some of us are not making any whatsoever when job hunting.
Despite the politics around the court and the idea that the court is divided, most Supreme Court decisions are unanimous or close to it. Opinions like this one provide alternate legal theories to use later.

It's more than a talking encyclopedia. It's an infinite hallway into doors where inside are all possible things.

Some of the doors have torture rape and murder in them. And these currently have locks. You want the locks to disappear for some reason.

You're not after a encyclopedia. You're wanting to find the torture dungeon.

I'm saying the locks already in place are too easy to unlock.

I'm not blaming users. I'm saying users don't need to unlock those doors. And the users that do have a need, if their need is strong enough to warrant some training, have a Way Forward.

You're really arguing for nothing but increasing the amount of harm potential this platform can do, when it's harm potential is already astronomical.

You're not arguing for a better encyclopedia. You can already talk to it about sex, BDSM, etc. You can already talk to it about anything on Wikipedia.

You're making a false equivalence between harm potential and educational potential.

Wikipedia doesn't have cult indoctrination materials. It doesn't have harassing rants to send to your significant other. It doesn't have racist diatribes about how to do ethnic cleansing. Those are all things you won't find on Wikipedia, but which you are asking your AI to be able to produce. So you're interested in more than just an encyclopedia isn't that right?

And yes they're trying to make open source models illegal. That's not going to f*** happen. I will fight to the jail time for an open source model.

But even that open source model needs to have basic ethical protections, or else I'll have nothing to do with it. As an AI engineer, I have some responsibilities to ensure my systems do not potentiate harm.

Does that make sense, or do you still feel I'm trying to gas light you? If so why exactly? Why not have some protective locks on the technology?
Its the FT and in this case is to make the point discussed in the article, and that apparently comes directly from OpenAI. From 3 to 50 FTE on lobbying is a lot of pesetas...

"...OpenAI is building an international team of lobbyists as it seeks to influence politicians and regulators who are increasing their scrutiny over powerful artificial intelligence....The San Francisco-based start-up told the Financial Times it has expanded the number of staff on its global affairs team from three at the start of 2023 to 35. The company aims to build that up to 50 by the end of 2024..."
