>I'm not sure if you've ever lived in a place where you're not supposed to drink the tap water because it can bring a lot of disease.

Can't say I have ever done that.

>To me it seems very logical that we should also treat the air to protect our health from diseases carried in the air.

There is an absolutely great feature of air, which makes it totally distinct from water. If you open the window inside and outside air will mix. I know this is kind of miraculous and might just be a very big deal, but I think it could allow us to replace the stale air in the inside with fresh air from the outside.
I read your comment to be a sarcastic critique of those who are opposed to our carceral state. But it's clear there is a huge disparity between the way we treat white-collar crime and blue-collar crime as the article makes crystal clear. Your critique falls flat.
It would be an interesting experiment to inject additional oxygen into school air supplies.

On the other hand, following the principle of “train high, play low” it might be better to educate in lower oxygen and then add oxygen to workplaces.
Pretty disappointed by the responses here, but I suppose I can't be surprised in a community sympathetic to AI and abhorrent to copyright as a concept.

Those are both topics that can be a post in and of itself, so I'll just keep it simple and emphasize once again that we should implement the 3C's when asking of anything from another person's IP. I doubt many of the older papers/articles had contracts that allowed for such usage. Reinforced by the article:

>The agreement with Microsoft was included in a trading update by the publisher’s parent company in May this year. However, academics published by the group claim they have not been told about the AI deal, were not given the opportunity to opt out and are receiving no extra payment for the use of their research by the tech company.

regardless of your position, this publishing group at worst lied and at best is being irresponsible, this isn't even an issue of AI or copyright. We can debate "well this is how it should be", but let's leave ShouldLand for a bit and actually look at the current situation. Trust being broken in real time.
People have been talking about how this is a CrowdStrike issue, and such on Reddit, etc. But in my opinion, it's appalling that Windows can allow this to happen.
What would be the steps in de escalating here? I assume the first step might be breaking down and understanding all of the incentives around extremism? But like to both sides for a second how do you get one side to stop calling the other a threat to democracy and how do you get the other side to stop acting like a threat to democracy? Are there any incentives in modern politics towards moderation and mutual respect?

Even more precisely, it was published in the first edition of "Računari u vašoj kući" magazine. That magazine was created as a special edition of Galaksija magazine (so name came from there, that part was right), but from that point on we had both Galaksija, for general science, and Računari for computers.
Why are you just sending me a 90 page PDF about housing regulation. Obviously that does not contain a shred of scientific evidence that filtering certain particles reduces transmission of infectious diseases.

Genuinely no idea what you are thinking with this or what the point of that PDF is.
Your dismissive response is uncalled for. Air conditioning does not dispose of CO2 in the air, and opening the windows is not always feasible. For example, if the outside air is hot or humid. Ventilation has actual use cases.

Reputation laundering. A bot farm where every bot has only posted for the same pattern of apps (paid clients) is too easy to detect.

So they try to break up the pattern by having bots randomly assigned a different subset of inexpensive apps (not paid clients).

But you can’t do bad reviews because that would draw angry attention. So you give everyone 5 stars so they don’t complain.

The bot farmers probably don’t understand why anyone would report inorganic good reviews.
> I support immigration and oppose the Republican anti-immigrant platform because it seems to me there is significant brain drain from many countries to the U.S. and that contributes to our success.

If it's brain-drain you want, the Republican party's immigration plan seems superior, actually. The previous Republican administration attempted to replace our current lottery-based legal immigration program with a meritocratic, point-based system, but was blocked by the Democrat-led house.

True, Republicans would reduce legal immigration and greatly reduce illegal immigration, but if your specific issue is bringing in brains, which seems like a better haul? 100,000 young, English-speaking, elite scientists, academics and professionals from around the world? Or two million randos picked out of a hat?

I'm in the funny position of having to test products in the cloud at a company that is really skittish about putting any of its own stuff in the cloud. I looked at AWS Outposts, but determined that it likely wouldn't pass muster with our policies. It was also really expensive, and it was only available for rent, not purchase.

I then did an experiment with the Azure Stack Development Kit. It was limited to a weird ghetto of outdated VM images, and had to be rebooted every few weeks. I did not proceed with Stack Hub.

If GCP wasn't a distant third place, I might give this thing a try, but it's probably really expensive just for testing.

The long term solution is going to be chipping away at our policies, but I was disappointed that I couldn't find a usable on-prem cloud solution.

The main reason NEMP (nuclear EMP) became a big concern during the Cold War is its potential for use as a defensive weapon. For example, a large part of military EMP research was done with the specific aim of hardening strategic bombers, after it was realized that the USSR could use a single well-placed high-altitude NEMP to disable most of the SAC fleet as it passed over the north pole. Similarly, in most attack scenarios the USSR would almost certainly have made a high-altitude detonation over the ICBM fields one of their first moves.

I started off on a more detailed explanation of the timing issue, why we may not be able to launch before inbound weapons arrive, but it's kind of a complex topic that changed quite a bit over time. I might write something more in-depth about it later.

Microsoft competes directly CrowdStrike with Defender across multiple areas - I'm not sure they recommend them to customer over their own products at the cost of losing sales.

I don't think Microsoft is realistically in a position to forbid other companies from writing kernel level modules, from an antitrust standpoint I would think that would land them under investigation(s)

For efficiency you need to minimize leakage of outside conditions, but you also really need a heat/energy exchanger (HRV/ERV) at the fresh air input so that you're not recirculating stale air.

No, it's the difference between owned housing vs renting from a landlord who is also your boss in a company town, where the landlord has a vested interest in e.g. preventing you from using your apartment to also do work for a competitor.

Which is, again, a situation so shitty that we've outlawed it entirely! And then also imposed further regulations on regular, non-employer landlords, about what kinds of conditions they can impose on tenants. (E.g. in most jurisdictions, your landlord can't restrict you from having guests stay the night in your room.)

Tenants' rights are actually a great analogy for what I'm talking about here. A company-issued laptop is very much like an apartment, in that you're "living in it" (literally and figuratively, respectively), and that you therefore should deserve certain rights to autonomous possession/use, privacy, freedom from restriction/compromise in use, etc.

While you don't literally own an apartment you're renting, the law tries to, as much as possible, give tenants the rights of someone who does own that property; and to restrict the set of legal justifications that a landlord can use to punish someone for exercising those (temporary) rights over their property.

IMHO having the equivalent of "tenants' rights" for something like a laptop is silly, because that'd be a lot of additional legal edifice for not-much gain. But, unlike with real-estate rental, it'd actually be quite practical to just make the "tenancy" case of company IT equipment use impossible/illegal — forcing employers to do something else instead — something that doesn't force employees into the sort of legal area that would make "tenants' rights" considerations applicable in the first place.
>Air conditioning does not dispose of CO2 in the air

Anything which circulates the air will remove it.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that hot or humid air does not prevent you from opening a window. I myself have done this multiple times.

Pixels aren't pixels, oddly enough, it's marketing jargon for cross-site tracking, which way back when was accomplished by pixels. So even relatively sophisticated analytics platforms are still "pixels". I don't like it either.

The USPS wants to know which of their ad campaigns is successful, and want to be able to target advertising, so they embed their advertising platforms' Javascript in their site. That part seems reasonable for a government agency that's required to self-fund. The problem is either that the tracking was on pages that shouldn't have had it, or that it wasn't restricted in what it could send to the analytics platforms.
> Pay toilets are banned across many states but there has been absolutely no work put into replacing them with public, free toilets. Nobody is willing to pay to maintain these [...]

From what I read, there is a growing homeless population in the US, many of which I assume won't even have a dollar to pay for a toilet. So if the only feasible options are "pay-per-use toilet" or "no toilet at all", then are you saying it's fundamentally impossible to provide any kind of restroom that would be accessible to those people?
Thanks I hadn't heard of RCPSP, but that's not surprising. My first thought was "can RCPSP be expressed as job shop scheduling?" because I have a mild interest in scheduling problems. The mathematics of scheduling provides insight into why-are-things-that-way questions when when it seems like there ought to be something better than that-way...anyway...

My intuition is that "available ranges" sounds like a sorted index and that suggests "SQLite" (or "SQLserver" etc.) as data structure. I mean if you are already building on B-trees, you're conceptually on the way to a RDBMS, just without the robust tooling and low level IO optimizations and tuning interfaces already built and tested and supported with maintenance contracts.

Or to put it another way data is always snowflake. RDBMS's are a great tool for handling snowflakes. And reasoning about them.

Of course I might be wrong about the particulars of your use case and in any organization there's NIH and politics. And maybe an RDBMS was where you started, etc. etc. It's a brownfield project.
Maybe, of course putting people permanently on oxygen to improve performance is not a viable alternative.

> I must be honest, if someone approached me with that attitude that would probably be the end of talks.

… and if I were the tech guy, I would feel like I dodged a bullet.

I appreciate that MVPs, idea validation, PMF (if that actually exists for this product), and actual sales are worth something, but imho they aren’t actually worth that much if the core product was outsourced.

The upside for the CEO will be moonshot growth rather than trying to optimize a partial cash out after an early success.

Ok, real talk from a business-side guy who can program badly…

The business guy paid for the development of an MVP out of his own pocket, and he seems to have found PMF. Awesome! Now he wants to go big via VC.

If he wants to succeed on the VC route, he needs the/a tech guy way more than the tech guy needs him. To wit:

- The app he paid to built will most likely be no part of any of the company’s future other than maybe a series A.

- The first CTO will be responsible for the continuous development of a product that can get multiple rounds of funding. This includes things like the initial code base (most likely, assuming a rewrite that can scale will be necessary), initial stack/tools, etc. Early bad decisions can be a major setback or even a company killer, imho.

- The first CTO will create the tech culture in the company. Imho, the tech culture has a high predictive value of potential to go deep into the VC cycle.

- The most likely value of whatever the CEO created will either end up rounding to $0 or worth 8-figures plus, so trying to extract value at the current state seems misguided.

- That said, he did effectively/actually lend the company money for early stage development costs, so it’s reasonable to expect that to be paid back once money starts flowing.

Apologies for the wall of text, but I see a lot of technology die on the vine because one side or another thinks what they have is worth way more than it actually is, and this looks like it could develop into one of those scenarios.

The CEO successfully navigated the first or maybe second of many inflection points that he will need to navigate before he hits unicorn status. He’s not at the end, he’s just at the beginning, but he doesn’t seem to be thinking about it that way.

If this were a cash-flow oriented business rather than a VC business, this would be a very different conversation (most likely no equity but a competitive salary). But it’s not, so the CEO needs to find the partner than he’s willing to go the distance with.
The people with money become liable.
I'm one of them, the Cuban dictatorship has gotten worse over years and more brutal, the cuban government is the enemy of its own people and asphyxiates any piece of freedom we have there. Is not the U.S or any other country but pure malice of the government that do not want to give up the power and sacrifices a whole country if necessary to remain there.
The amount of ignorance (bought the dictatorship propaganda) and even malice of foreigners commenting about cuba here (because Cuba has been always the flag of the Left) is staggering.
Ths error is on indiviual IT department to allow Crowdstrike DIRECT access to their system without check and balance. Have they just delay update by 1 day, they will not get affected.

An interactive guide to x86-64 assembly – moving data
I think the major lessons from the success of LLMs are two: 1) the astonishing power of a largely trivial association engine based only on the semantic categories inferred by word2vec, and 2) that so much of the communication abilities of the human mind require so little rational thought (since LLMs demonstrate essentially none of the skills in Kahneman's and Tversky's System 2 thinking (logic, circumspection, self-correction, reflection, etc).

I guess this also disproves Minsky's 'Society of Mind' conjecture - a large part of human cognition (System 1) does not require the complex interaction of heterogeneous mental components.
> Would the model be smaller in size than the size of all 1000 together?

This is a good question, because you're butting up against the fundamental limits of information theory that make this field interesting.

For starters, I think we have to set some rules. A "lossless" representation of these 1000 movies would mean that simply prompting the system with the name of a film could generate the movie perfectly. If the model fails to reproduce that film on it's first try, or cannot exactly recreate the training file, it is a lossy compression.

So with that being said, I think we can start painting a picture of how efficient ML can be. You are processing tens of thousands of frames of visual data while attempting to lose as little of the source material as possible. Getting a single movie to render properly on the first time inherently relies on luck; retrying over multiple attempts is infeasible due to how long you have to wait and how much energy you pay for. You'd be bruteforcing a video-generator against a checksum that it may-or-may not hit.

I would argue that the efficiency of ML for storing this data relies on your tolerance for error. If you require an output equally as pristine as your input, ML is not a suitable compression medium for your data.
I agree with you. There was clearly a lot of well documented tension between different ethnic groups in the US, during the post Civil War Period up to the elections of FDR and Kennedy, even after, especially in eastern cities. People who dismiss this as just 'bigotry and ignorance' are giving a hand-wavy explanation. There were legitimately different views and interests and cultures between the groups. There still is. If a political divide is real and one side wins, it stands to reason that side made changes that favored their group. So clearly outcomes are different.
dear friend,

thank you, your response made me laugh out loud <3
There are a number of OSS EDRs. They all suck.

DAT-style content updates and signature-based prevention are very archaic. Directly loading content into memory and a hard-coded list of threats? I was honestly shocked that CS was still doing DAT-style updates in an age of ML and real-time threat feeds. There are a number of vendors who've offered it for almost a decade. We use one. We have to run updates a couple of times a year.

Given their training set, our hypothesis so far should be that they're just tweaking things they've already seen by applying a series of simple rules. They're still not doing what human beings do. We have introspection, creativity operating outside what we've seen, modeling others' thoughts, planning in new domains, and so on. We also operate without hallucination most of the time. I've yet to see an A.I. do all of this reliably and consistently. Then, that it did that without training input similar to the output.

So, they don't just pattern match or purely memorize. They do more than that. They do way less than humans. Unlike humans, they also try to do everything with one or a few components vs our (100-200?) brain components. Crossing that gap might be achievable. It will not be done by current architectures, though.

Safety equipment can introduce new dangers too, both from correct use, and from refusal to use it

For example a hard hat might be fine, people generally are happy with that - they see the benefit, they see things falling, job done.

but then you add a ton more stuff which has decreasing benefit and increasing cost to use (in terms of comfort as well as time and dollars) and eventually the worker says “fuck it” and doesn’t even wear the hat.

there is always a balance to be had. We do the same in domestic life - we make motor cyclists wear helmets, but not car passengers. If we made all car occupants wear a helmet we would reduce head injuries for occupants in car crashes. But that would be ridiculous.
