There was a prediction from 2016 that things would get much worse for CPU bugs starting with Skylake:

It seems that article was updated with this one too.
I can safely speak for myself - the fund I was employed at had began rebalancing away from Cybersecurity and Biotech and funding Hardware, Energy Tech, and Defense Tech around 22-23 due to provisions in IRA and CHIPS.

Plenty of peer funds did the same thing.

Even if Trump wins in November, most of the provisions in the acts I mentioned will be retained, especially given that a Thiel and A16Z acolyte is Veep and an early MS alum is cabinet track.

Was this with GPT 3.5 or 4? If it was with 3.5, the analysis is entirely irrelevant in my opinion.

Many people just use GPT 3.5 because it's free, not realizing how much it sucks in comparison to newer models.
Biden was a stop-gap measure as Democrats didn't risk to put any new emerging leader against Trump. I think it was a big mistake - basically "coronation" of Biden back then replaced the normal, though painful, democratic process of producing a new Democrats leader. And as a result, it seems to me that Biden like a huge tree in the forest only exacerbated the issue by not letting new leadership to grow in the last 4 years. Of course he didn't do it intentionally, he (and his entourage) just naturally sucked up all the air and nothing grew in his shadow. Now, with the "anointment" of Harris, Democrats are repeating that mistake for the 3rd time - ie. Hillary, Biden, Harris - while on the other side we have a "Viking" leader who bloody slaughtered and ate all the competitors who were in that Republican jar (compare that to "Biden campaign chair to staff: Time to elevate Kamala Harris" - leaders aren't elevated by some bureaucrats, leaders arise and elevate themselves)

(To clarify my political position, i'm pro-Democrat and think Biden wasn't a bad president, though i think he completely dropped the ball on the foreign policy - while Ukraine and Israel are more prominent, they cause multipage flamewars, so instead i'd point to Houthis where i think majority can agree with me that what Houtis do in Red Sea is just plain war crimes (intentional attacks on civilian shipping) and that should have been immediately nipped in the bud by the overwhelming US and allies' force in the region - if anything, protection of civilian shipping is one of the most legitimate major uses of the Navy, and i'd say it is a direct duty of the president to put it to such a use when the need arises)
Vero[0] from the OSMC project has been around through several iterations. It's custom hardware for their media center OS, based on Debian and the Kodi media player. (They also release images for Raspberry pi.)

I don't own one, but the latest Vero V "supports a trusted video pathway with HDCP2.2 and Widevine L1 support"[1] -- which can (hypothetically, eventually) allow streaming services at full quality. SD-only streaming (or none at all) is one of the biggest drawbacks to these projects.

- You're assuming that the goal of a summary is to decide whether one needs to read the full work. That's certainly one niche usage of a summary, but is definitely not the only one and is likely a minority of usage. Most summaries I've needed, from school to my career, were about not having to read the full work.

- I would say Betteridge's Law of Headlines does not provide "No" as a summary to all of these articles. The accurate summary would be "[Title]? No.", since it seems fairly obvious that the word "No" is very light in information conveyed.

On a personal note, I have to say I can't see the point in this current craze about summarizing everything. I never saw the point of those subscription programs which promise you'll "read" a book a week/a month because they'll send you a 5-min audio about the book.
I think you're better off choosing one really awesome book a year and actually reading that.

So I can't see how a (flawed or not) ChatGPT summary will provide any epiphany on the level you'd get from consuming fewer works, thoroughly.
Done. Let me know if it works.
But it was Trump who pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal and attempted to extort Ukraine instead of deterring Russia.

We learn misogynistic pejoratives like “meriochane”, given to Cleopatra by Horace and company, which Rosenbaum translates as “the woman who gapes wide for ten thousand men”
```

Well, no. Rosenbaum discusses μυοχάνη on pg. 14, a word found in Galen's Glossary of Hippocrates. Galen:

μυ<ρ>ιοχάνη· ἐπίθετον χασκούσης. εἰ δὲ μυριοχαύνη γράφοιτο, ἡ ἐπὶ
μυρίοις ἂν εἴη χαυνουμένη.

My trans. "Muriochane/Muiochane: A name for a woman yawning. But if it is to be written 'thousand relaxer', it should be a woman who relaxes [ie., her legs] for a thousand."

This "yawn" or "yawn after something" can be similar in Greek usage to our "drool after."

The "Cleopatra" claim is internet garbage, nowhere in Rosenbaum, and I wonder if an AI summarizer picked it up from Reddit or something? All Rosenbaum does is quote Erotian in that discussion, who says "μηριοχάνη ὄνομα γυναικός," Meriochane is the name of a woman.

There's another related word from the Suda, μυσάχνη, which it attributes to Archilochus as a reference (name for?) a prostitute.
So it's actually just over 7%? What are you trying to say?
Say what you will against russia but their search index is unmatched for finding movie streamz, warez, porn and anything you desire. Google feels very crippled in this regard.
Was thinking that too and it might be a brilliant way to get the folks on the right that don't want to vote Trump but also not necessarily a dem. Also it could be a great marketing tactic to be like 'we're bringing unity back' or something to that.

And theoretically no reason it couldn't happen other than both parties definitely not being on board with it.
Can you return them?
The standard processes don't fail in the manner that AI does - they don't randomly start inventing things. Your paralegal might not give you great case law, but they won't invent case law out of thin air.

I just googled, and by the way when you want to google for something with qustionable legality, it's best to use search engines not based in western countries, such as Yandex. There ended up being a lot of sites advertising the solutions manual for sale. But also, there are entire subreddits where these people post threads advertising that they have whatever ebook/solutions for sale with a whatsapp phone number included in the content. I messaged on Whatsapp and sent a paypal payment (yes, I had no recourse, it was a leap of faith) but it's not that much a risk since it's only $25.
Usually problems vis-a-vis farmers come from farmers being exalted just like you're doing, so politically they've been given a lot of leeway for government subsidies and entitlements. There are many farmers who struggle making a living on limited land, even with subsidies. But in other professions, there wouldn't be those subsidies and that specific job wouldn't be economically viable. But there are also many other farmers with $10m+ properties and paying meager farmhand wages to those doing the actual work, while the farmer landowner gets the million dollar subsidies paying them to dump milk or grow wasteful corn fuel.

Essentially, it's because producing food doesn't give you the right to be pampered by everyone else and make economically bad decisions.

In Europe specifically, it would be in part because of the "tractor protests" where tractors were mass driven into city centers in protest, especially the Netherlands because they didn't like being restricted on nitrogen pollution. It would be especially irksome when you can get most peoples' votes for bad policy just by saying "support farmers, they grow your food." Except that all that nitrogen in the Netherlands goes to actually growing exported food ($$)...

>Right now the cheering on of AI is overwhelming

It's both, the level of criticism is also overwhelming and delusional.

I hear things like, AI will never be as smart as me!, It will never take over my job, Look it got this and this wrong, No chance it can ever be as smart as me! It's always a comparison to their own abilities so I think a lot of it is just an attempt to stay relevant in a world where technology is about to replace all of us.

I think by now everyone knows the limitations of current LLMs. The result of this "in depth" analysis is not only expected but very obvious. Nobody is surprised and none of this is suppressed because it's so obvious.

What's delusional is the amount of criticism around the performance. The denial that AI is more and more matching human intelligence. Of course it's not there yet, but LLMs made a giant leap and bridged a huge gap.

AI is no match for humanity now, that much is obvious. I think the delusion lies in the fact that many people are trying to deny the trendline... the obvious future and trajectory of what progress has been pointing too. Milestones are getting surpassed at a frightening pace. AI is now running circles around the turing test and I can now ride a car with no driver and it's normal in SF.

We are here bitching about the fact that AI shortens a text rather then summarizing it without remarking at the fact that you can actually bitch to the AI directly about this fact and demand the AI to stop shortening the text and start summarizing it.
If you ask it basic mathematical questions, it becomes quickly clear that the ‘understanding’ it seems to possess is a mirage. The illusion is shattered after a few prompts. To use your comparison with humans: if any human said such naive and utterly wrong things we’d assume they were either heavily intoxicated or just had no understanding of what they’re talking about and are simply bluffing.

I guess at best you can say these models have an ‘understanding’ of language, but their ability to waffle endlessly and eruditely about any well-known topic you can throw at it is just further evidence of this — not that it understands the content.
> Not going to happen, but I wonder how a mixed party ticket would do. Kamala (or whoever) + Mitt Romney as VP ?

I think it would be very hard to convince the liberal-progressive base (i.e. the core of the party) of the DNC to go for this.

> Has it ever been done?

Before the 12th Amendment was passed, the VP came from the opposing party[1]. This didn't work particularly well in practice, which is why nobody remembers the 12th Amendment :-)

The fear of “mob rule” seems to only be about losing power in practice.
>there is no reason to rule out any particular capability

of course there is, especially the egregious capabilities that people believe now and expecting later; the fact it has no self to be self-directed, it certainly cannot summon the fresh opinion of a human based on an author's published text, nothing will never do that.

As for deception, well hot sand can do that in form of mirage. The cause is misplaced desires in the affected humans which takes moral tyranny to "fix" and why regulation should look the greater evil approach to AI.
I agree.

That said, it's infuriating when you have an opponent that can literally say whatever he wants however unintelligible it may be and his cult-like followers will just find the meaning kn what he said. The double standard is astonishing.

But yeah obviously there certainly are better candidates than Biden to run for president. Why he or she hasn't been found in 2020 eludes me.
If you play a video of Biden in 2004 or 2008 debates, you'll notice something has changed.
Is there one you'd recommend?
I read it as supporting my theory.

It says that in French of the time as heard by English people at the time, the phonetic value of that u was ambiguously heard as f or v.

My position is v and u were phonetically ambiguous or sometimes heard as the same in Latin and romance languages. Maybe also in older forms of English.
I also could not find any mention of the methodology.
All the time? Both of those are from 1996.

It seems the US in 1996-97 barred executives from at least two other companies doing business with Cuba from entering the US. I can’t seem to find any information about them having financial sanctions against them however.
Condemnation from a lot of those names is a strong positive signal imo.
Before 2022 we weren't even entertaining the option of funding an early stage startup in the Hardware, Energy, or Defense space.

This is a MASSIVE change in the VC/PE industry which has concentrated on various flavors of SaaS for the past decade+.

An entire ecosystem of research grants, commercialization grants, and private sector deal flow has now restarted in the sectors above that hasn't been seen in the past decade.
> late in the game

Most other countries have much shorter election periods. I for one would love if ours was shorter. Our politicians spend more time campaigning and raising money than they do governing
I've watched several old debates and he's a killer debator even with his slip ups. He was anything but that in this recent one.
Whenever you have to ask that question, it is often a better idea to sit down with a nice cup of tea, and take some time to reconsider what the person you are replying to was intending to do with their comment.

The comment pokes fun at people holding grudges for that long, on behalf of their ancestors, and at the whole situation in general. Ultimately is is meant to make people think whether demanding reparations from a less well-off people is really a better idea than just moving on. If everyone held grudges like that, no two people on earth would have good relations and we'd all sit in our little caves brooding over some slight our neighbor's ancestors inflicted on our family ten generations ago.

No, I'm not arguing for genocide. But thanks for the laugh.
> From what I understand, the answer to that question is no, at least for the type=channel-update change that triggered this outage. In which case I think the blame ultimately falls almost entirely on CrowdStrike.

Honestly, it hadn't even occurred to me that software like this marketed at enterprise customers wouldn't have this kind of control already available. It seems like an obvious thing that any big organization would insist on that I just took it for granted that it existed.

Whoops.
What would be an acceptable error rate for your use case?

There are situations where AI is good enough, other cases where you need more accuracy, and others still where you should be reading the reference directly.

AI is improving quickly though, and context windows will allow for summaries to be tailored to each end user.
The “who” that pulled the trigger is much less relevant than the reaction of Trump right after it happened. Rising up, the flag waving behind him, with a fist in the air yelling “Fight!”. Followed by a crowd cheering, “USA! USA!”.

That was incredibly iconic and that picture will be in the historic books, and IMHO, alongside a biography of him as our 47th POTUS.
You pick your leader in the presidential election.

Being a nominee of a major party is not a requirement to get on the presidential ballot.
It used to be (like, early 1800s) that the VP wasn't elected directly; whoever lost the election became VP. Jefferson and Adams were political adversaries, but when Adams won the election in 1796, Jefferson became VP
One thing I am surprised no one has been discussing is the role Microsoft have played in this and how they set the stage for the CrowdStrike outage through a lack of incentive (profit, competition) to make Windows resilient to this sort of situation.

While they were not directly responsible for the bug that caused the crashes, Microsoft does hold an effective monopoly position over workstation computing space (I'd consider this as infrastructure at this point) and therefore have a duty of care to ensure the security/reliability and capabilities of their product.

Without competition, Microsoft have been asleep at the wheel on innovations to Windows - some of which could have prevented this outage.

For example; Crowdstrike runs in user space on MacOS and Linux - does Windows not provide the capabilities needed to run Crowdstrike in user space?

What about innovations in application sandboxing which could mitigate the need for level of control CrowdStrike requires?

The fact is; Microsoft is largely uncontested in holding the keys to the world's computing infrastructure and they have virtually no oversight.

Windows has fallen from making over 80% of Microsoft's revenue to 10% today - there is nothing wrong with being a private company chasing money - but when your product is critical to the operation of hospitals, airlines, critical infrastructure, you can't be out there tickling your undercarriage on AI assistants and advertisements to increase the product's profitability.

IMO Microsoft have dropped the ball on their duty of care to consumers and CrowdStrike is a symptom of that. Governments need to seriously consider encouraging competition in the desktop workspace market. That, or regulate Microsoft's Windows product
Ah, my mistake. The political commentary and analysis I'd been reading had been saying that, while Macron's party lost seats, his goal may have been to defang the far-right before they got any "real" power in 2027. I guess the commentary was implying that his goal may have been to let the French people see what the far-right would do with their political power, while not risking the presidency.

It sounds a little bit like 4-D chess now that I type it out, I'm not sure I believe it myself.

I'd argue that zero troops and zero dollars in Afghanistan should be the goal. Afghanistan knows that if they try to raise up another Osama what will happen, so I would argue that what happens there, even if it's terrible, doesn't actually affect things in the US anymore.

We can invade a bunch of countries in South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe and possibly "improve" lives there, impose our will, while sucking money out of America ostensibly forever.

Or we can sanction human rights abusers, offer proper asylum, and if there are any real on the ground changes from within the country then possibly support in a similar way to support in Ukraine.
Also gives the people in power control and the ability to block out new messages. No sure it's fair or democratic.

Some countries give tax payer money based on how you did previously which greatly benefits the status quo

It's not perfect but wow, a consistent, easy-to-use tool to manage services, mounts, sockets, network, resolving, boot, seats, and more: we mostly love it. The new world is so much better. Every individual service was a snowflake in the old world & every setup unique & unlike, everything system bailed together crudely at the whim of a sysop.

More capabilities get added all the time in fairly smart unobtrusive ways. Features like sandboxing, temporary users, encryption, ulimits, priorities & capabilities, cgroups all just "drop in" with no effort, vastly increasing our ability to run services well & securely, without having to hand code ea h service.

There's just so many people a decade in having a fine time, who haven't had issues, who see that this is such a higher order more refined state & culture. Versus the wild nomadic dispersed bands of practitioners we once were. The doomer prophets are still around to show up & sing tales of woe, and there are real issues & things not perfect for sure, but wow, the universe is so so so much better with systemd than the tumult & chaos vacuum we suffered in before. Dare to make things, even if not perfect.
I've been seeing things that say they could form a SuperPAC with the existing donations and we know SuperPACs have more or less no real limit on spending as long as it's not coordinated with a candidate.

OTOH, candidates get a better ad rate than SuperPACs, so there's a lot of dollar effeciency lost if you have to go that way.
What this sounds like is this:

- The author is pushing a specific proposal (a "council of stakeholders") in the pension space.

- To support that, he wrote a long paper with much supporting information.

- The ChatGPT summary system didn't pick up on his proposal being the important thing.

- The author doesn't like that.
We were not in Afghanistan to fight for Afghan women.
it's still useful if the summary is usually right or mostly right.

And you'd confirm that by having to read the unsummarized content. Thus useless.

Consider that the alternative to reading the summary often isn't reading the entire text yourself. It's reading nothing.

Reading an inaccurate summary is actually less useful than reading nothing. It's not like the utility of the summary is to exercise a reading muscle.
"E.g. if Russia just put one on a satellite and didn't tell anyone, does anyone have any way to notice?"

My wild guess would be, a bomb radiates and a satellite usually does not, so it might be possible to easily check new launched ones or all of the satelites of a certain size?
Ah, we have something in common, then.
Though unaffiliated myself, I still have very clear opinions on policies. This leads to voting exclusively for one party anyway.

It's just the label and tribalism I reject, not their stances or some desire for a mythical "middle path".

I have no idea how common this is in the "unaffiliated base" but I'd be willing to wager it's fairly common.
