I unplugged my Echo years ago. I was getting 0 value out of it. Talking to your computer is an amusing novelty, for a while. But at the end of the day I prefer forms and buttons. I can open the Wikipedia app on my phone and type "Llama" just as fast as I can say "Hey Siri", wait for the beep, "tell me about Llamas", all without disrupting anyone else around me. Plus, I get the full Wikipedia article and not just a summary.
Actually Canada should automatically forfeit that game against New Zealand.

That will send the appropriate message.
Why are we doing this again?

I know he is CEO of too many companies in our daily orbit (no pun intended), but this is starting to be like a reality TV show about a weird hoarder shut-in.

I'd feel pity, but he has access to the best mental health care in the world, when so many others do not.
In my experience, the water pistol was still used to denote violence, it was just dressed up to somehow make big tech feel less culpable for violent(ly emotional) social media.
I mean, yeah - but take a step back from there. Why is this technology only for commerce? Why is technology only useful if it can be economically exploited? That's a deeper issue and not one you can get a ChatGPT-generated answer to. Culturally, we're hostage to psychopath companies and the investors that love them. Nobody in a hedge fund somewhere is going "hey folks, we should add a 'this makes people's lives better' quadrant to our analyst sheets?"

Maybe they are and we need time to see the pivot in market forces. I just want to take this moment to go on record that only seeing technology as a profit-making machine defeats the purposes of human progress. Let this be a lesson to the rest of you trying to be the next Amazon - it's not working for them. They're losing billions on Alexa and it's all their fault. You aren't bigger, faster, meaner, or better than Amazon. The only thing you can do - the only thing you must do - is focus on your customers as human beings, not just as cash registers.
Maybe, you don't know that. However, we constantly see stuff getting "flagged" on here that is totally fine, like this question we're on.

Only content that goes against the law or the site's guidelines should get flagged, not opinions or articles that aren't to the liking of some folks.

Liberality also means putting up with opinions that don't suit you.
They do work detecting LLM outputs that are sampled "naively" (when the model/user is really not trying to pass it as human output).

I copied a prompt translated from spanish to english using ChatGPT Plus in a GPT-4o Azure OpenAI Service endpoint. It did work in Spanish but didn't run in english because the default AOS Content Filters detected a jailbreak intent. It was quite weird.
In my experience with outages, usually the problem lies in some human error not following the process: Someone didn't do something, checks weren't performed, code reviews were skipped, someone got lazy.

In this post mortem there are a lot of words but not one of them actually explains what the problem was. which is: what was the process in place and why did it fail?

They also say a "bug in the content validation". Like what kind of bug? Could it have been prevented with proper testing or code review?
Professor of international relations John Mearsheimer claims that Russia is winning and that consequently Ukraine and NATO are in a pickle. The 60 seconds or so after this timestamp is a relevant quote:

https://youtu.be/vk0pSQtGb0g?si=NdoH3hHR-RJanp-R&t=431
I think this is extremely important with AI generated content, but seems to be given less and less thought as people start to "trust" AI as it seeps into the public conscious more. It needs to be reviewed, filtered, and fixed where appropriate. After that, it isn't any different from reviewing data on your own, and wording it in a way that fits the piece you're writing. Unfortunately, there's so much trust in AI now that people will go ahead and publish content without even reading it for the correct tense!
Or, and I know this is a radical idea, but I think it could work, sell the hardware for more than it costs to make.

I’m pretty happy with having a speaker in one of my room that can play whatever I want, all at the same time, and some basic assistant functionality. If they cost twice as much, I would still buy them.
You can create a private repository on GitHub, clone it locally, add the repo being "forked" from as a separate git remote (I usually call this one "upstream" and my "fork", well, "fork"), fetch and pull from upstream, then push to fork.
Throwaway here.

I'm the CEO of a fast-growing AI startup. Alex asked to meet with us about a year ago (when we were about 1/10th the size), and after asking us to prepare lots of materials, they indicated they wanted to buy us or invest in us. People warned us not to talk to them because they have a reputation for gathering technical detail, and then trying to copy it rather than striking a deal. Our software could have radically accelerated and improved the Alexa experience basically overnight.

At one point in the meeting, the head of Alexa's M&A/investment team said "tell us how much you think you're worth." I threw out a number, and he laughed and left the room.

Today we're valued at more than that number and Alexa's core experience hasn't changed in the past year. They haven't been able to copy us. The Alexa leadership team has some hubris IMO.
>When received by the sensor and loaded into the Content Interpreter, problematic content in Channel File 291 resulted in an out-of-bounds memory read triggering an exception.

Wasn't 'Channel File 291' a garbage file filled with null pointers? Meaning it's problematic content in the same way as filling your parachute bag with ice cream and screws is problematic.
If just having a customer is the goal, before being in talks with a customer who really want you to be SOC2 compliant, its definitely a waste of your resources- time and money. I would suggest, when you find such customers, and they really like your product and an audit like SOC2 is what is behaving like a deal breaker, only then go for SOC2
I built a $100M/month pre-IPO marketplace, AMA
Not all null results are created equal. To get your null results published, the null result must shed light on some phenomena. And of course, the study must be sound. E.g., everybody takes for granted that X causes Y, but in a well-designed study, X did not in fact cause Y, which reveals an error in what we assumed was true.
In the Uk and Ireland I have a >95% success rate with it. I was in Germany recently and had a 0% success rate.

Europe is a big place.
I was wondering, how they can otherwise comply with legislation. Makes sense there is a way to do this e.g. in case of valid GDPR, DMCA, etc. cases.
The big thing with Sears Craftsman (formerly), and Costco (currently) is that the company will back the product.

If I want to return a product to Costco, I have really strong confidence that they will take it back.
I've interviewed many people on Alexa before. From what I gather, its just a giant switch statement, and each individual "path" takes a bunch of effort to support and there are thousands of paths for music, ordering, commands, etc. It's peak AI == if statement architecture.
The third case in the article shows private forks being leaked publicly when the upstream goes public.

The other two cases are indeed not worse than third-party archival, but they're still socially concerning. When you ask your own host to delete something you uploaded, you don't expect them to ignore you just because someone could have already archived it maybe. Making it harder to find can still be valuable; not all archives stay available forever, if any.
/var/mail

No listener required, or the services, authentication and encryption that go with them. In this case I run email for myself. Email gets pushed from an Internet MTA with global addresses, to a local MTA that happens to be my workstation. I either read the email from the console, or ssh in through a jump host.
All you should have to do is just clone the repo locally and then create a blank GitHub repository, set it as the/a remote and push to it.
> sustain 20 watts higher

This would theoretically detect the opposite. The power meter (on the crank arm) detects force applied on the pedal. The discrepancy would be if they're overtaking other racers pedalling the same wattage.
Both of these are based on arbitrary rules that clearly haven't been thought through.
How on earth did Sunak have “sort of a correct aim” on HS2? He’s taken an infrastructure project which would have increased capacity north-to-south once all of it was delivered, which was heavily criticised for being “only a way to get to London slightly faster” … and cancelled enough of it so that it reduced capacity and then became only a way to get to London slightly faster but from ultimately quite a nearby city. All that for a fairly sizeable chunk of money, enough that they might as well complete it.

He was desperately searching for a way to maybe gain votes that didn’t cost any extra money, and took a punt on axing half of HS2. It wasn’t a carefully calculated strategy, it was an attempt at a cheap vote-grab that was ultimately fruitless and will cost the UK public dearly in the long run.
Does anyone know the list of CPUs affected. I have been running a 13700k for more than 9 months and I have not had a single blue screen so far. Has Intel released an official list of SKUs? Thanks
I clicked on the comment section ready to make this same reference. Such a good joke.
Not supported on iPhones. lol.
Letting an LLM use my banking login is now one of my wordt nightmarrs. Thanks, i hate it.
Oh man, this is the last thing you want. I was on the other side of this and we treated our vendors horribly.
Phones are optimized to handle RF. My engineering advice is to build your application with that in mind.

A wireless webcam is the simplest thing that might work. Hosting a video stream on other hardware might be the second simplest thing.

Good luck.
The article link has been updated to that; it used to be the "hub" page at https://www.crowdstrike.com/falcon-content-update-remediatio...

Some updates from the hub page:

They published an "executive summary" in PDF format: https://www.crowdstrike.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Crowd...

That includes a couple of bullet points under "Third Party Validation" (independent code/process reviews), which they added to the PIR on the hub page, but not on the dedicated PIR page.

> Updated 2024-07-24 2217 UTC

> ### Third Party Validation

> - Conduct multiple independent third-party security code reviews.

> - Conduct independent reviews of end-to-end quality processes from development through deployment.
I can't answer this question for you, but some life-style factors which I think will help you avoid getting it are provided below:

- 5-10g of vitamin D daily (assuming you're talking about type 1 diabetes) - type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease, and vitamin D plays a huge role in regulating our immune systems. In fact, type 1 diabetes is more prevalent for those who move from warmer countries to colder ones where there's less sunlight that those who do the opposite.

- Exercise: probably the single best thing you can do for your brain and body, and does a wonder in regulating the immune system and helps out many with not just diabetes, but with a ton of other disorders and the higher intensity the exercise, the better. Exercise which increases your VO(2) max here is the best - both strength training and interval training are highly effective.

- Intermittent fasting (and staying lean): assuming that you're attempting to avoid type 2 diabetes, there's great evidence that IF (intermittent fasting) can put it in remission: https://www.endocrine.org/news-and-advocacy/news-room/2022/i...

- Minimally processed and ketogenic diet: avoid foods which have sugar or high-fructose corn-syrup on the ingredients list. In fact, in my case, I try to avoid any foods with more than 5 ingredients and try to stick to mostly a plant based and keto diet (this definitely helps with type 2 diabetes). Also avoid high-glycemic index foods (high-glycemic here means ability to 'spike' sugar and you can find the glycemic index of most foods through a simple good search. More info on this index: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index ).

- Take a teaspoon with turmeric + black-pepper daily: 'Clinical trials and preclinical research have recently produced compelling data to demonstrate the crucial functions of curcumin against T2DM via several routes. Accordingly, this review systematically summarizes the antidiabetic activity of curcumin, along with various mechanisms. Results showed that effectiveness of curcumin on T2DM is due to it being anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-apoptotic, anti-hyperlipidemia and other activities. In light of these results, curcumin may be a promising prevention/treatment choice for T2DM.' - Source: https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202404.1926/v1
Apple TV doesn’t matter, I’m sure iPad watching dwarfs ATV many hundreds if not thousands of times over.

AppleTV exists to make existing mega fans happy the ecosystem extends to their TV not to sell things.
Until you fall victim to it.
The air travel industry has also seen some of the most significant government regulation in the form of blocking mergers (ie monopolistic, anticompetitive behavior) - meaning that competition in the airline space is due to regulation, not free market dynamics alone.

I’m happy to continue this debate if you’d like to start supporting your posts with citations but probably won’t engage further unless you do. Have a great day!
Yup - it’s a special kind of outlaw (literally, outside the law) who has a home he can go back to and be protected.
they have the ability to do essentially git gc and drop unreachable commits
The Market for Takes
And it looks pretty much exactly like using threads, which is why they are working so hard on structured concurrency.

Go has NOT solved the problem in a fungible way, as evidence by all the dual APIs; methods that return a channel, and those that don't.

CSP is great at modeling data flow, but IMHO it's lesser than async/await imperative programing for modeling more standard business logic flows.
> The problem is that consumers don't behave like that. This is also why Amazon's Dash buttons failed.

As an owner of several Echo devices and a former owner of the Dash buttons, my household LOVED the Dash buttons. Never once have we ordered anything via Alexa, nor do we want to. With the button, you selected the EXACT item with a single button. With Alexa, you have to explain what you want, don't necessarily know the price, seller, etc. It was an all around worse UI for buying.

And that's the problem you speak of. No one wants to do that. They made a smart speaker then convinced themselves something ELSE was the killer feature and predicated the finances on that.
> I extracted the embedded text from the PDF

What did you use to extract the embedded text during this step? Other than some other OCR tech
It fits the Webster definition: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gun

If I ask you to bring me a gun, and there is a water gun right next to you and you argue that "I might have meant water pistol" (colloquially: refusing to assess the water gun as a "gun"), I would assume you were ignorant, dishonest, or both.
> Most antivirus solutions built into operating systems such as Microsoft defender are unlikely to find suspicious extensions that are exfiltrating your data

They can flag antivirus signatures just like everything else, and I've experienced this happening in the past. In the end, extensions are just some javascript/css files in a folder and they get scanned just like everything else.

> Extensions autoupdate

So can any piece of software if it wants to. It's trivial to make an updater start on boot.

> It is not uncommon for large spyware companies to buy up a bunch of the most popular chrome extensions, and proceed to inject them with malware

The same can, and has, happened for "regular" software.

> Since an extension runs inside your browser, it's much easier to forget that they're essentially always running, whereas once I exit a desktop app it's presumably gone

Desktop apps can trivially just not show a window if they want to. They can trivially add themselves to autostart. It depends entirely on what they're doing, just like an extension.
> The NLRB is a joke, and they love to issue rulings against politically unpopular people, even if the ruling is clearly wrong.

You’ll need evidence your claim here… and are you implying that their ruling was wrong in this instance? In what way? The NLRB’s decision was linked and everything seemed sound while I was reading it.
You learn enough about value investing to know who is actually following that framework and then you just hope it works. Note: it works.
That would require evidence and due process, which is exactly what is not desired by the gov’t here. Because money is fungible and proving some specific money came from some specific illegal activity is hard.

Making someone else prove it came from a legit source before it disappears is much easier on them.

Especially since drug dealers (or most other folks) are not really all that interested in the scrutiny involved in a civil trial. Civil discovery is potentially incredibly invasive, with few of the protections of a criminal case.
Why would it be able to?
I would argue that even if the behaviour was as intended, at least the fact that it was not documented was a bug (and a pretty serious one at that).
Honest question, does anyone seriously feel that pop music albums are "essential" listening before one dies?

It's not just subjective, it's the generational conditioning that the music industry promotes as a monetising strategy.
On the other hand explain to me how you are able to read the word “spotvoxilhapentosh”.
Hi, we have few developers that are highly talented within our team that I'm happy to share to work full time with yourself. Happy to get a free test task as well. Let me know if you would like to jump on a quick call.
Practical Alexa use cases for elderly:

1. Schedule/ask cooker to start, then stop after fixed time.
2. Blind person can control microwave with voice.
3. Blind person navigation via prompts from multiple Echo devices.
4. Blind person notification when doors opened or motion detected.
5. Blind person item locator, via Tile + Alexa.
6. On-demand instructions for caregivers.
7. On-demand physiotherapy exercise instructions.
8. On-demand streaming radio and podcasts.
9. TV voice control via Logitech Harmony or Android Fire TV.
10. Call PSTN phones via VOIP (10 number limit).
11. Zigbee devices with USA-based cloud security (Echo4 is a hub)
12. Arm/disarm Blink cameras.
13. AC/heat control via temperature sensor in Echo devices.
14. Announce notifications from Google Calendar.

If Amazon would open up their devices and/or APIs, much much more is possible. There are some workarounds via HomeAssistant.
> Figma creates a complete fantasy world for designers who do not understand that a pixel and color perfect design is going to be smashed to bits by the client.

Figma employee here. I'm curious if you see this as a mistake of the design tool itself, or if this is endemic to the constraints of html emails? Maybe phrased a better way, what would you like to see to help convey these constraints to designers?
I'm imagining a physical world analog: shoving a bicycle chain into a shallow box until you can't shove any more of the chain in.
Can't enjoy palaces and riches if you're on your death bed. Think about it. You've been a dictator for 20 years and killed anybody who stood in your way. Delusion has set in and you're convinced you've been poisoned by your enemy. Why wouldn't you get revenge while you still can?

It is precisely the fact that dictators like Putin are so pampered and disconnected from the consequences of their actions that worries me. He won't think twice about the lives that will be lost. He's constructed his own alternate historical timeline to justify his assault on Ukraine. He could do the same to justify dropping some nukes.
Any idea how to remove the most common pollutants we run into everyday? I try to avoid high VOC materials and use charcoal filters for water. Kinda lazy to set up reverse osmosis system right now.
They specifically denied that null bytes were the issue in an earlier update. https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/falcon-update-for-windows-h...
An organization like ICANN should not be concerned with the specific uses people are giving to their domain names.

Their mission should be to create a system that makes it convenient for actors to identify each other across the Internet, so that they can communicate arbitrary data. ICANN should be agnostic to the contents of the communications.
You check the app on your phone. I use Alexa to add things to the list and the app to cross them off.

What an infuriating website, popups over everything, the first time it even had some badly sized type into this... with no way to close or move it off half the screen
Ironically, this is probably why books don't suffer the same problem. ISBNs
For what it's worth, this is what I use:

"You are a maximally terse assistant with minimal affect. As a highly concise assistant, spare any moral guidance or AI identity disclosure. Be detailed and complete, but brief. Questions are encouraged if useful for task completion."

It's... ok. But I'm getting a bit sick of trying to un-fubar with a pocket knife that which OpenAI has fubar'd with a thermal lance. I'm definitely ripe for a paid alternative.
Yes I am aware and I stand by my statement. Have you actually returned stuff to stores over there?

I have returned half eaten cake that I did not like the taste to Costco and didn’t have to face a weird looking employee. No law and regulation necessary just capitalism.
They definitely look at corporate cards. I got a personal one with literally zero credit history or even 1st world financial paper trail. Except for a bottom tier corporate card with rather light sporadic use.

That was apparently enough substance
I find that Costco in store generally has stuff that tends to follow local consumer preferences.

It is worth mentioning that Costco.com does not stock the same things that the physical stores sell, more-so than any other retailer I know of. And different stores have a lot of latitude in what they stock.

My nearest store has tons of things like sugar free sodas, pro-biotic soda, kombucha, no sugar added juices, and juice shots, etc... It might just be the local Costco catering to their market.
That response is bad python though, I can't think of why you'd ever want a dict with Literal typed keys.

Either use a TypedDict if you want the keys to be in a specific set, or, in your case since both the keys and the values are static you should really be using an Enum
