Sure, but DJI drones already weren't eligible for procurement in US defense anyway, so there's not a major net change there (barring weird edge case loopholes with third-party modifications). Skydio already got their protectionism in the federal space, this is a step beyond.
Instruction is not the only way to interact with an LLM. In tuning LLMs to the assistant persona, they become much less useful for a lot of tasks, like naming things or generating prose.
Of course not. Hallucinations are the only things these models can produce, they have no mechanism to tell if what they're writing is a fact or not. They generate bullshit in the "on bullshit" by Frankfurt sense of the word.
The given reason for the bail outs was systematic risk to the entire banking sector because they were all exposed to the same risks and those risks were more correlated than people believed.

In the case of a big bank making a series of small bad bets it would not really affect others like in this case. Other banks don't care about this product failing. What, IMO, is more likely that just their profitability will suffer till they start making better decisions again and if WF persists with the bad decisions the valuable parts will be acquired.

There’s a different issue here: lawyers and companies are often concerned that what they deem necessary will be deemed unnecessary when challenged. So, they require cookie consent preemptively to avoid liability in case they get it wrong.
>Obsession with pricing the stock is not healthy.

I'm not claiming it is, just that it's far more objective and far less fudgeable than the alternatives.

>Or public infrastructure, or transportation, or electric cars etc.

Arguably all of those is more due to government intervention than the companies themselves. Nuclear is impossible to build in the US due to overburdensome regulations, infrastructure/transportation is impossible to build due to NIMBY-friendly planning rules, electric cars are massively subsidized by the Chinese government.

It might be more expensive, but perhaps Apple is uniquely positioned to synthesize/compare answers from multiple models to provide more accurate results.

That's the accepted word to describe it making up bullshit instead of regurgitating existing information.
Humans have a much richer IO system than any GPT model. Estimates say humans ingest about 75GB of data per day. That means ChatGPT has seen about 600 days worth of human data. Or about two years. So if it's smarter than a two year old, it's safe to say that it surpasses human ability.

The mistake is thinking that 'data' means only text.
They didn’t say “most people actively participate in” local community. They said people should do more of it, and you replied that there’s no such thing. Sorry you feel that way or that it may (or may not) be true where you live, but bold claims like “local community doesn’t exist,” and ambiguous gesturing toward it never having existed, is both untrue and unhelpful.
Fabrication implies malicious intent or at least intentional deception. LLMs don’t have any “intent”.
Is anyone expecting anything more at this point? Maybe it’ll improve over time. But expecting Apple’s implementation of ChatGPT to be better than ChatGPT is unrealistic

THAT is your take away?

Not, I don't want a surgeon pushed past the point of exhaustion and sanity operating on you?
I agree. I will mock 3rd party APIs sometimes so I can test that my system correctly handles failures. For example, what if I get a 500 response from the API? With my mock I can easily make that happen. If I was using the actual API, I would have no way of forcing a 500 to happen.

That's a large part of the issue, though. The narrative 10 years ago was that we were preventing Chinese from dumping low-cost crap on the U.S. market. Okay, fair enough, keep the crap out. But recent U.S. protectionism has been targeting very high-quality, best-in-class Chinese manufacturers that honestly outcompete anything their U.S. competitors bring to market. Without that competition, there's no incentive for U.S. makers to raise their technological game, and the sector just stagnates and falls behind the rest of the world.

North America has the benefit of two oceans for national defense, but the risk associated with that is one of insularity and stagnation. Ask an indigenous person (if you can find one) how well being a couple hundred years behind European technological development worked out once hostile colonists are on your shores.

Of course not. Humans "hallucinate" all the time too.

Why do we hold AI to a higher standard than humans? It's the same with self driving cars. "Oh it had one accident, must not be safe!" and yet humans have 100s of accidents a day.

The main problem here is expectations -- everyone expects the machine to be perfect, and when it's not, it breaks expectations. In the past, machines were generally a lot more accurate, they just didn't do a lot of stuff. Now they they can do a lot more stuff, their accuracy is coming down to human levels, and it throws everyone off.

I don't think we need to fix hallucinations, we need to fix expectations.

Humans don't have 100% perfect recall of every fact they've ever learned, why do we expect AI to?
That's not the point. Industries such as VFX and game studios often either run dual-boot systems or provide two workstations per artist. If there is a usable equivalent for Linux, they will adopt it because the rest of their tooling runs on Linux anyways. Currently, they have no incentive to switch.
> They had been operating a lending library of ebooks, where you could 'check out' an ebook file and they wouldn't let anyone else read it until you had 'put it back'. They had many options for evading DRM and told you to delete the file when you 'put it back' on the honor system

This is basically how checking out ebooks from my "regular" library works. Not only is the DRM relatively easy to remove (even for non-technical users), returning the books is also on the honor system (to wit: on a Kindle, you retain access to books indefinitely so long as you're in airplane mode; on a Kobo, so long as you keep the book open and avoid returning to the home screen; these tricks are both easily discovered and, IME, routinely shared among people with ereaders). It's possible IA should've avoided poking the bear by removing these nominal restrictions during the pandemic, but framing their normal operation as substantially different from that of more traditional libraries is rather disingenuous.
A 0% error rate is unrealistic in humans as well. Impossible really.
Hallucinations reduce the success rate of AI workflows, which must be taken seriously.
Imagine a workflow with 8 steps where each step/agent has a 95% success rate, the success rate of this workflow is only (1-0.05)^8 = 0.66 ~= 66%. Not bad but not enough to replace humans yet (unless 66% makes you profitable).

The hallucinations/errors compound and can misguide decisions if you rely too much on AI.
It’s the opposite really. I’m not claiming anything about AI image generators. I’m saying that people have quite limited tastes, and so they end up going for kitsch because it looks good at first glance.

But now that it’s so easy to generate, will it mean a shift in taste? The current crop of AI art looks the same because enough people think those limited styles are good. But in ten years, users may be a lot more demanding.

Think about 1950s pop music, before the invention of electric guitars and synthesizers and sequencers. The range of musical expression is quite limited to modern ears. But at the time, it was uncontested among ordinary listeners that “good music” had that particular sound. There was an enormous gulf between avant garde contemporary music and pop music, just like in art today.
How can one write an article about testing that doesn't even mention the invariants you're trying to validate (by construction or testing)? That's the minimum context for addressing any QA solution.

The GoF pattern book did list patterns, but it primarily argued for a simple language about patterns: context, problem, solution, limitations. It's clear.

The blog-o-sphere recipe of click-bait, straw-man, glib advice designed not to guide practice but to project authority (and promise career advancement) is the exact opposite, because it obfuscates.

The point of writing is to give people tools they can apply in their proximal situation.

Are you really testing if your solutions start by refactoring the code to be more testable? That's more like design if not architecture -- excellent, but well beyond scope (and clearly in the CTO's bailiwick).

And as for mocks: they're typically designed to represent subsystems at integration points (not responses to functions or IO/persistence subsystems). How hard is that to say?

The CTO's way is not to win the argument but to lead organizations by teaching applicable principles, providing guardrails, and motivating people to do the right thing.

Sorry to be exasperated and formulaic, but I think we can do better.

Longevity, happiness, health, leisure, life satisfaction. Companies are there to make these possible, not to maximise the stock trading price. Some achieve that by making EUV lithography machines, others do chemicals or pharmaceuticals.

Are you aware that you can use the developer tools in your browser to set the price of the stock or your bank account balance to anything you like? You don't have to crumble your infrastructure, run from the mentally ill homeless people or bankrupt sick people to see those numbers.

If you insist on extra steps, you can sell a stock to your friend at ridiculous price and say that that this company is now bigger than the worlds' economy combined.
So you have a gold field.

The miners are digging up the gold and selling it. Say they manage to sell $100 worth of gold.

Meanwhile a guy sets up shop selling shovels.
For the sake of argument he made $100 selling shovels to the miners.

How much money did the miners make?

How long can that continue until something changes?

TLDR: For those that don't care for analogies a toolmaker can't be making more money then the companies using those tools to make money... or some very obvious things happen.
You need a compelling story for why you want to go back to being an IC. Good options are, love of programming and dislike of the tough challenges of leadership and management. People are worried that you’ll quit after 3 months when you get another leadership position.

> DJI who refuses to let their drones be used for war?

As others point out, DJI can't control what buyers do (a good default).

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say DJI won't manufacture drones for offensive war use. This sharply limits their usefulness to the US Military.

Either way, using US Mil as an excuse doesn't make sense for a ban. They won't be buying gear they have reason to mistrust.

As ever, reasons for the ban seem to be evidence-free speculation. Articles that omit this key part of the story aren't serving their readers.

Yes, the resistance is because the private sector will lose a lot of (parasitic) jobs. It's a non-starter to attempt to reduce health insurance companies power, because it would gut their employee numbers.

It's an unsavory thought, but the US has a significant amount of people employed in the business of denying healthcare to other people, which amounts to hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Any politician attempting to fix this would be committing political suicide.

I have extensive knowledge in the restaurant arena, stemming from over 25 years of managing, owning, operating, and building restaurants.

This article is an absolute fluff piece aiming to tip a nodded hat at the industry as a whole - for maintaining the industry at its status quo.

Unfortunately, the restaurant industry has changed dramatically since 2020 (pandemic initiated). Cost, immutable variables between staff and guests, and likely most fundamentally - an industry unfit for a single entity to operate on his/her/there own.

Socio-economically the industry has suffered far more than other industries and continues to. Add in the decade long push in comfortability (delivery) and the break in social activities due to the pandemic, and the third space is no longer a safe, meal-sharing, getaway.

Dine-in, sit-down restaurants are going to continue to struggle until they regain their 'third space' appeal. In the meantime you can continue to purchase low-quality food, put up with terrible service, and pay extravagant pricing for delivery.

As for wages - the only reason this person has a comparable wage to an entry-level technical programmer is because Cane's is as large and funded as it is - combined with the current 'big boys' competition in the industry. Culver's, In'N'Out, Raising Cane's, and several others from large groups are the only competing brands at the moment in large retail spaces.

And as is usually the case this hails from California where pay scale outweigh most of the country save for the hot spots everyone knows.

This is targeted at the industry as a whole - it's not a reflection of the industry at all at it's current status.
Thank goodness, it's about time!

My only question is, what the heck took the FTC this long? Why didn't they do this years ago?

The problems with cancelling Adobe CC are well known:

- Consumers think they've subscribed to a monthly plan only to discover it's yearly

- If they cancel before the year is over they still have to pay 50% of the remaining time, while the software stops working immediately, and they had no idea

- But worst of all, if you want to set it to NOT autorenew at the end of the year, YOU CAN'T [1]. You can't cancel renewal but keep the existing subscription through the end of the year. Which is insane. You have to wait until some brief "cancellation window" period at the end of your year, and cancel it AFTER the window has opened up but BEFORE it actually renews. Again, this is INSANE

And all this is on top of the complaints that people try to cancel over the phone even within the cancellation window, and either can't do it, or think they've done it but it hasn't.

There's no way the FTC won't win here. And I hope the FTC levies a truly massive fine on Adobe, ON TOP OF refunds to consumers of all previous cancellation fees.

It's absolutely despicable behavior, and there's no way Adobe would be able to get away with it if they didn't have network lock-in effects from what have become the industry file formats of Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, etc. If you collaborate in the graphics space you need to use their tools period, so you can edit files people send you and vice-versa. Conversion tools never work perfectly, or even well, when they even exist at all.

Ascent represents just 12% of manufacturing volume - as stated in the article.

Manufacturers collectively had about 35 tons of raw material at the end of 2022, not just Ascent.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-02-28/are-ad...

Also, manufacturers are not required to disclose the reasons why medication supply is exhausted.

Your arguments indicate that you are searching for evidence that fits your conclusion.

at the end of the day, people who don't need this drug are more likely to abuse it and die from abusing it. So yes, despite your sarcastic question, it is the lesser of two evils to limit supply.
Bill Gates once expressed a similar view about rampant piracy of Microsoft software in China [1]:

> Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, people don’t pay for the software. Someday they will, though. And as long as they’re going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They’ll get sort of addicted, and then we’ll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.

AFAIK many cookie consent banners are actually against the law. IIUC denying any non-essential cookies should always be as easy as accepting all cookies. This is something many cookie banners have not managed.

So to me this seems more like the tech-companies and websites being annoying at implementing an easy solution, in order to rebel against the laws and make people angry at it for the inconvenience, then the law itself being bad.

The article provides a very detailed exploration of all of the fun challenges you can face designing FFIs with Rust, but there's a good chance you can "get away" with simpler approaches if you think ahead a bit.

In our case, we call into Rust from Kotlin using JNI [0] and Swift using swift-bridge [1]. Thankfully our use case for the FFI [2] is for non-performance-critical calls and the data structures are fairly simple, so we just serialize objects with JSON.

No major issues so far.

One thing I am surprised hasn't been mentioned so far is Mozilla's UniFFI [3] which seems to solve some of the issues brought up in the article. We plan to switch to that once our FFI requirements become more complex.

A pretty accurate statement - and this, I think, is the realization most likely to kill a lot of consumer AI features. There's a large liability factor that I don't think we'll ever get over.
Several years ago, the only way to cancel was over the phone. Hallmark of scumbag business.

Planet Fitness requires in-person or a mailed note for cancellation (unless you “move” to California which legally requires companies to provide online cancellation if you can sign up online)
I think they mean it's an increase in government spending, which would of course be true even if overall healthcare overhead spending is reduced.
You'll find very few people who don't want poor people to have things and it's disingenuous to put it that way.

The two commonly held arguments against socialized healthcare in America are:
First, a distrust that the government will create a system that is good and a belief that quality will decrease under such a system, and;

Second, that such a system would be funded by a large tax increase and that Americans are in general hard to get excited about tax increases. The financial concern is in the taking, not in the getting.
I'm always alarmed that there are people who intentionally eat cordyceps. I first learned about them in regards to the mind control effects they have over their zombie prey. I guess they don't infect humans, but it seems like a huge risk.
You must be kidding. Every day my spouse and I have a conversation that involves one of us realizing that we've mis-remembered something. Not getting every fact correct is super-common in humans.

This right here is a perfect example of the problem of expectations. Do you have 100% accurate recall of every fact you've ever learned?

Even if today's big tech players landed their own hardware in 2-3 years, there's no guarantee that they could match the software side of it. For AMD, the hardware is already there.

Its basically just a catch all term that basically means, everything that isn't some form of a pressurized water reactor.
The US has its own special meaning of "race", "racial group" and similar – but, since societal groups are what society thinks they are, this means that "racial groups" in the US are (in large part) defined by things like skin colouration. In that context, claiming that the soap dispenser is "racially biased" is a perfectly good description.

If you perform a root-cause analysis (a soap dispenser doesn't exist a vacuum), you will discover "racial bias" in the structures and institutions that designed and created the soap dispenser. Metonymically, therefore, it's even more accurate to claim that the soap dispenser is "racially biased".

(Author's note: I continue to reject the US's conception of "race". Please do not understand this comment as legitimising it in any way.)
