I am very much on the side of inclusion, but at some point, the number of users who have the ability to check the added information becomes sufficiently small that the articles become nearly impossible to maintain and fact-check. I can understand drawing a notability line somewhere.

If, for instance, Wikipedia allowed articles on every human being, whether well-known or not, they'd likely have a larger problem than they already do with people creating attack articles against other people over extremely local disputes/feuds. With more notable people, they can look for other sources to confirm or deny information about those people.
I always find it fascinating to hear stories like that and immediately feeling bad that my first thought is: what is the likelihood of this being an identity theft comlared with likelihood that after surviving two atomic bombs one lives up to 93 years?

>End-to-end encrypted services such as Whatsapp or Signal would have to implement the automated searches “prior to transmission” of a message (so-called client-side scanning, Article 10a).

So app developers would be required to add code that will scan every message you send for "sensitive" content (which can be defined however the politicians like and be changed any time), and the app will report your message to the government.

That's not what they're doing here. They're asking the students how confident they are that they got what they think they got. Doesn't matter what the C group actually got, or what they think they got, they are still more confident that what they think they got was what they actually got than the B group, while the A group was less confident than the B group.
Overall probably a good move for Google. They were were spending 100s of millions of dollars a year to train RL agents to get good at playing Qwop for close to a decade.

The dude who made LyricWiki basically had a successful acquisition to Wikia, which is great because the legal trouble that wiki had was needless and profligate. This is one case where the creator had the best outcomes by parting ways with his creation.
I do, but I think it's a misdirection.

You're basically making the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument, with LLMs instead of guns: "A gun on its own is just a mechanical device. Only by assembling it into a gun/ammunition/shooter system does it gain the potential to do harm, and only by performing the act of shooting an innocent bystander is harm actually done. Therefore, we should only regulate the act of loading a gun and shooting someone instead of mere possession or distribution of a firearm."

With firearms, the argument is usually rejected because such a regulation would obviously be impossible to enforce: If someone already has a gun and ammunition, they will just need a few seconds to load it up and pull the trigger. No cop could force them to only shoot at legitimate targets.

The analogue with LLMs would be: "An LLM on its own is just a collection of numbers. Only by deploying it into a software system does it gain the potential to do harm and only by executing the system and causing malicious output is the harm actually done. Therefore we should only regulate deployment of LLMs instead of storage and release."

You could make the same counter-argument as in the pro-gun case here, that such a regulation would be impossible to enforce: The interesting thing about open source LLMs is exactly that you can deploy them on your own hardware without having to bring any third party into the loop: Companies can deploy them in their own data centers, hobbyists on their own consumer machines, some person could just run Llama3 on their laptop solely for themself. There is no way a regulator could even detect all those deployments, let alone validate them.

That's why I find the argument disingenious: You could make a case that the harms caused by unregulated, home-deployed LLMs are much smaller than the benefits - but that would be a different argument. You're essentially arguing that the regulator should hamstring itself by leaving the part where regulation could actually be enforced unregulated (model training and release) and only regulate the "deployment" part that can't be enforced.
For anyone else, OP is not referring to the original FFI that leads to madness (and worse):

Another reasonable example is a migration which adds a column ultimately intended to be "not null". The first migration might add the column as nullable, then subsequent migrations and/or server logic populate the column, culminating with a future migration which alters the constraint to be "not null".
I have an example in mind, a very recent one, in which case it was indeed the government abusing hate speech laws to silence critics. Ask Greta Thunberg.

I agree: hybrid teams with a diversity of product/research skills at the team level is the way to go. It is thinkers and doers that need to come together.

It is way easier said than done, though. You need true buy in from a ton of stakeholders — employees being the primary ones. And people get set in their ways.

I do like a product bias though. Not because it is more valuable somehow but because it provides the applied scientists deeper exposure to the problem space, early and often.
Did your friend actually wake up or did they start forming memories again?
I think if you let what lives in your toolbox define you as a developer, you’re selling yourself short.

If you’re a decent engineer, learning a new library should be the boring part. It’s not like any of these libraries are introducing highly specific conceptual paradigms.
Oh really??? That would make sense, though it raises more questions with perhaps not so brief answers.
More commoditized but vastly mispriced, especially consequential ones. but there are many laymen and seasoned programmers that would consider web 2 bug bounties to be very specialized, at the same time cosmos and EVMs have been around for at least 7 years now and many devs have only done that work - which is actually a problem in recruiting as many of these specialized crypto devs are quite junior

when Apple is going to fight tooth and nail to not pay you $10,000 while the black hat government contractor will pay $1,000,000 for the same exploit, the market is saying what the real price is and its at parity with what Web 3 is paying
It is likely because equals is usually “object equals”, not necessarily “math equals”. Since the internal representation is different, the objects are indeed different. Tricky though, and most 3rd party code would likely choose to make equals true in this kind of situation.

Java has tons of examples where the core behavior is logically correct, but VERY unintuitive - I feel the pain daily.
"0.0 + 0.05" and "0.00 + 0.05" are not the same so "0.0" and "0.00" should probably not be considered to be the same.
So what if they are off by a few cents or dollars? Do you actually spend time to contest this? It seems like there is some minimum threshold just for the hassle… it's got to be at least $15-$20 by now. I you really going to go back and forth scanning paper receiptes for $5?

To some extent I just I figure law of averages should even it all out. You see the reverse wtih ecommerce on Amazon et al. If you buy something and get the wrong thing, or it's partially broken, or just late, or even if you are just unhappy—you can click the refund button and like 33% of a time you just get your money back as part of a returnless refund and get to keep the item.

We need more merit, excellence, and intelligence.

We need less discrimination, exclusion, and intolerance.

This is a fairly anodyne position (it certainly is in China). I'm going to assume detractors are acting in bad faith (because they are) when they don't explain why and directly address the point. They just react like dogs, stumbling to regurgitate their brain dead ad hominens in an attempt to discredit the mainstream position because they don't have an answer.
How haunting. I can't imagine having seen/survived one atomic bomb and then to see the same flash in Nagasaki. He must have thought the U.S. was going to sweep all of Japan. I think I'd head to the mountains.

Why is it not?

The blog post states “BigDecimal is a class in Java used to represent floating-point numbers with arbitrary precision”

Which means that the order should not semantically matter.

That said even if the order necessarily does matter (infinite precision be alas unavailable), does not justify equality of different representations of the same value being incorrect.

Any justification for == not comparing the represented value applies equally to compareTo (which someone else suggested?)

More over operations on this type, if they can give precise/arbitrary representation should not matter if the input values are represented differently. If I perform the same operations on the same values, and in intermediate values are all representable, then the output should always be the same value.

If the actual intent of this type is “equals is an invalid way to compare values” the equals should throw when the values are the same but the representation is different.
I don't think they've released APKs yet from how the Twitter thread is worded.
I don't believe that anyone is truly for absolute free speech, it's just some theoretical utopia which sounds great, until you actually dive into details. Would you defend my right to call your little brother or sister terrible disgusting names? Threaten you or your family's lives? Say that your entire ethnicity doesn't deserve to exist? Because that would be absolute free speech. I don't think anybody should have the right to do that. I mean they can try, but if it happened in real life, they'd find out real quick that it wasn't a good idea.

If you disagree with me on major issues, I will defend your right to state that. But if I find myself in a place full of hate, be they nazis, or tankies, or whatever, I leave and don't come back.
Canceling SiriusXM is pretty easy via phone. Adobe makes the process confusing to make you believe you canceled even you haven't yet. It also charges high cancellation fees and has threatening wording.

But, but, but, I've seen the movie "Threads (1984)" so now I'm an expert and it's not possible.

Also how come all the children in the area can still speak, in "Threads" children mutate and can't speak like a reverse Spiderman.

This seems like Doomer-denial fake news, the movie Threads (1984) was the real one.

Which implies the type is not compatible with the built in collections? Or have they moved aware from equals?
Yeah thats ridiculously expensive for a home lab IMO, the thinkcenters can be picked up for a couple of hundred bucks used and a T400 runs about the same. So $400 for an AI capable home bench would run $1200 for a 3 node cluster - I can live with that.

My 5 node Rpi5 Cluster ran $1500 with NVMe Hats and a PoE hat and cant do any GPU work :(

Especially if the new law is very conveniently enacted during the most important sports event in the EU, with 99.99% eyeballs looking elsewhere. A very common tactic pretty much everywhere, but that doesn't make it stink less.

It need not be an adversary, these cables are just laid across the seabed aren't they? Uncaring dragnet fishermen could be a potential culprit. God knows they cause enough damage to everything else down there.

Or as other commenters say, all three cables terminate in one city, so it could be a problem there.
I strongly doubt mass produced commodity components like switches are hand assembled or individually tested. It's typical for random samples, say one in a thousand, to be pulled from a batch for testing.
Definitely. People want to believe it so badly that they'll just throw all logic out the window. I can't find it with a cursory search, but I recall one case in which a person allegedly inherited a fear of drowning via "genetic memory" from her uncle who drowned shortly before she was born. It's essentially "psychic medium" bullshit with a veneer of pseudobiology. But hoo boy, does that ever play well.

It's one thing to suggest that psychological or metabolic stress could affect the dynamics of DNA methylation in a way that crosses generational boundaries. It's quite another to identify those inherited dynamics as "memories".

Individually or in small projects you might be able to do whatever you want. Won’t help when you work in a large team, going against hundreds of minds inclined to follow trends and maintain the status quo, which is reality at almost any business.

The average developer doesn’t get to choose at all. This liberty was taken away from them in the name of “easier maintenance”, a “larger
community”, “stability” (ha) and other ill-informed platitudes. This became a self-reinforcing cycle when companies started hiring for React experience.

Actually the solution being discussed here is the one that Chollet mentioned in his interview with Dwarkesh, and only bolsters his case.

The LLM isn't doing the reasoning here, it's just pattern matching the before/after diff and generating thousands of Python programs. The actual reasoning is done by an agentic like loop wrapped around the LLM, as described in the linked blog.
There's defintieyl some MBA's crunching numbers, but I don't think piracy is "deliberate" per se. It's more an inevtiability, as inevitable as it is that businesses find ways around it. Deliberacy is companies dumping low key sanctioned torrents themselves (which is stupid, because even back in the 90's there was the idea of "lite/trial/watermarked" versions of software).

That said, this strategy is surefire when it comes to consumer products like Windows. Consumers will stick with what thye are comfortable with. The Network Effect. It's a huge gamble for professional tools like Adobe, and they are somewhat lucky there wasn't a timeline where GIMP un-GIMPED itself, nor where Krita and other modern competitors didn't get adopted faster. There's money at stake, so professionals can and will learn new tools if the tools bite them.

I'm not sure why Google hasn't straight up blackholed them. Consider the situation with the Warcraft Wiki:

1) Started in 2004 as independent "WoWWiki", then "moved" in 2007 to Wikia aka Fandom

2) Forked in 2010 due to Fandoms blatant disregard to Wowpedia, under Curse

3) Fandom acquires the Wiki part of Curse and with it Wowpedia in 2018

4) Forked in 2023 as Fandom made the site practically unusable

The biggest fuck you of it all? They continued hosting WoWWiki all this time for the sweet SEO, even if it hasn't been relevant for decades. Even when they started owning the new version in 2018, they would not disable the old one - you know, it was still ranking in that Google algorithm!

For all these years, there has been a single correct choice for what link to show a Google user searching for relevant content. And yet going on 20 years Google doesn't manage to do it, instead rewarding these utter dickheads.
Only the web sites…and all that latency will leave extra bandwidth for all the other use of the Internet.
Totally. I still think that more development can cover a lot of sins. Look at JavaScript. It started for changing text colors or something. Now it is one of the fastest interpreted runtimes.

Years of incremental improvements on this bustling platform could have made Flash into a performant beast.

Anyway, we will never know what could have been if Flash had been a mobile option on day one.
The stack at Miraheze is all open source, and almost entirely available free on GitHub. The overview is here: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Tech:Home We do a few things that aren't recommended, like running WMF's own CentralAuth, which you definitely wouldn't want to do if you were hosting one or two wikis, as well as upgrading with every new MW release.

Generally I would go with Canasta, a Docker image that's collectively maintained by a few MediaWiki companies. Canasta upgrades with every LTS release, which is a much easier pace for maintainers. https://github.com/CanastaWiki/Canasta

Not a question, but I just wanted to say that HTMX is a joy to work. I’m using it in production to slowly replace VueJS wherever full SPA interactions aren’t needed, and it has made development so much simpler. HTMX is such a breath of fresh air from the over-engineered jenga tower that web dev has evolved into over the past decade.

Thank you!
I wouldn't expect there to be documented cases yet. The hypothetical case in question is a hacker taking hundreds of millions of dollars, not being caught initially, but then being caught years later. Crypto as a whole is just 15 years old, and it's only really been hot for under a decade. There have only been a handful of cases with such large dollar amounts, and most occurred in the last 5 years. And I expect most of the people who pull this off will be properly paranoid.
The difference between a mid-drive (in which all of the force goes through the rear cassette) and a rear hub drive (in which only the pedal force goes through the rear cassette) is large.

Also, most people online report over 2k miles on a cassette. Pittsburgh's hills and more force are apparently good for some extra wear.

(Also, a 250W motor is fairly small by e-bike standards. They generally start at 250 and go up from there; 750W is not uncommon.)

Tesla sues former supplier for 'stealing battery trade secrets'
Most 1080p encodes I see on pirate bay are h.265 these days.

But frankly, most of what "the scene" produces it trash. I gave up on waiting for proper blu-rays for the remaining seasons of Bojack Horseman and pirated them a few weeks ago, and all the options were compromised. The best visual quality came from a set that was h.265 encoded with a reasonable average bitrate, yet the quality still did not reflect the bitrate at all, with obvious artifacting in fades and scenes with lots of motion. I usually get much better results at only slightly larger file sizes with my own blu-ray rips.

I'm pretty sure the key difference is that I go for a variable bitrate with a constant quality, whereas most scene groups want to hit an arbitrary file size for every episode regardless of whether or not that is feasible for the content. Every episode in this set is almost exactly 266 MB, whereas similar shows that I rip will vary anywhere from 200 to 350 MB per episode.
No, Fandom does not shut down wikis over takedowns. They will push back on any takedown attempt in order to remove the least amount of offending content as possible, then claim the rest as fair use.

Their legal department is willing to bet that the IP owner's legal department does not care enough about the abandoned Fandom wiki to put the time and effort into finishing the job.
