Definitely bad for the individual but if this is reserved for homicides, which are fairly rare, and helps solve the crimes, I’d say this is overall a good thing. There’s the potential for a slippery slope here but nothing about this seems alarming to me.
If you want power, it is better to make renewables. The problem with carbon capture is that more energy and more fuel to run the capture. It costs too much.

If you want to sequester the carbon, just cut down the trees and bury them. The problem is that there isn't enough trees on Earth to power civilization or sequester enough carbon.

You are looking at the wrong market. Apple effectively sells places in their marketplace to the developers. Because of the market share[1] of that marketplace on B2C, developers don’t have other choice but to buy from Apple (i.e. pay the cut), so it is indeed a monopoly - on the B2B market.

[1] it is not just the number of iPhone users: if you don’t go to iOS marketplace, your sales on Android may also be impacted.
I agree that pregnancy is significantly more difficult for women than it is for men. No question. There's a reason I said being a sperm donor and not being a father.

But this entire argument seems to be about the idea that human reproduction is the highest calling for any individual, and that, with current technology, requires both sperm and eggs.

My stance is that "highest calling" is a personal belief and one that others cannot make a value judgment on. I've discussed doctors and medical researchers in other comments because they have a more direct impact on "amount of people alive" by being in those professions than they would by having children, but I wouldn't argue that those are the "highest calling" for individuals either, or that such a thing exists as an objective truth to begin with.

I do not think anyone should be reduced to their reproductive functions, regardless of how "wondrously complex" those things are.
Indeed. At summer camp at age 8, I brushed my face into a photograph of the Grand canyon, by making a mask with an air brush and double exposing it into the photo paper sitting in emulsion.

Agreed!

Originally, NaNoWriMo was simple and followed the book "No Plot? No Problem!" and the goal was to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. No editing,just crank it out. If you did it, you could downlaod a .PDF file certificate.

Around 2005 or so, they started pushing the social aspect, with message boards, tracking progress publicly on the web site, and people having "write-ins" where people got together and wrote. They were still each working on their own novel; but, they'd gather to do it. (I think December became the "editing" month, so they could keep going in groups.) Not only was there a certificate; but, also all sorts of "badges."

As it got more popular, people began to look at ways to "cheat." Outlining and writing some words before November. Not writing fiction. Using stuff they'd written before and expanding it.

I've done it (and successfully completed it) a dozen times; but, then I started skipping it. I skipped a couple to 2015, then skipped them until 2020. I was thinking about doing it this year; but, may not.
Completely. My inner dialogue didn’t predict the future and didn’t talk to me in the same way AT ALL.

> I wonder if you're fairly compensated by the police department for your time without your vehicle, just because you told the police you don't want to give them access to your Tesla.

Hah. No. Police have kicked in the wrong door (wrong house, number didn't match the warrant, wasn't the correct house), set off flash bangs, shot dogs, destroyed property...

... and when the owner (who was uninvolved in whatever the warrant was about, and it wasn't even meant to be his house searched) has requested reparations or repair work from the Police Department, they've laughed...

... and when the owner has subsequently sued the Police Department, the courts have ruled that they have no obligation to pay for any damage done, including by negligence.
I find English-law's way of legislating through the judiciary terrible. When a new situation appears (like whether machines should be allowed to learn on copyrighted works), the legality of the situation should be decided explicitly by the legislative branch, not by arcane interpretations of previous judicial decisions.
There is a sharp line. If I see something, what I see isn't recorded verbatim on some shareable media somewhere, nor is that data stored in a database.

At this time, I don't see any reason to think this is a thing that neuralink or similar will be able to accomplish anytime soon. Massive video surveillance, on the other hand, is a problem that actually exists right now.

They are not complaining, they have only responded(in June) to a EU watchdog query and saying it not possible for them pay for IAP at 30%[1] to Apple and sell profitably, even though EU made Apple open up the App Store in EU recently.

[1] Apple does not mandate using their IAP per se, but forbids instructing on how to pay outside etc i believe.

I think this is an invalid comparison.

1. Steam is voluntary, you are free to instead use gog, epic, whatever or maybe buy physical boxes from the devs.

2. PC games these days can be huge. The hosting cost alone will be significant.

3. Valve have significant R&D costs for getting games run smoothly in multiple environments, some of which they have no control over.

4. It's up to 30%.
I think it's unreasonable to see iOS apps as a market. It's part of mobile games market. Otherwise, you would have to arrest executives from any car company, because their car company usually has a monopoly grasp of "spare parts for cars of this company" market.

Part of what is missing with those raw numbers, is what you get for it as a developer.

I don't know about the others (And Nintendo's in particular is probably ironclad in NDAs and lawyers if their attitude towards their userbase is anything to go by), but for Steam you can read all about the technical, financial and sales/marketing features you get through the platform here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/home

EGS and MS Store compete on a lower %, partly because they offer less of this.
You're bringing in a bunch of entirely irrelevant topics into this instead of actually addressing the points.

My apologies if pointing that out in clear language goes against site guidelines, it might be rude to point it out but this site does have a problem with people who think they know it all and blurting out something as laughable as it's "generous to say Einstein had an intuition about fields" is in my opinion a prime example of it.

All the best to you.
Even when the lady removed the Voice from me, I wasn’t sure it was real. It was only when she reproduced the voice tone, cadence and choice of words perfectly (after it had left my body) that I thought “oh shit, this is real”.

It was like someone doing a spot on Jack Nicholson impression, but Jack Nicholson was an invisible man in my head. How can one explain that?
Yeah did everything forget about the double slit experiment? Why are fields any more real than particles? Is the updated science now resolved on wave particle duality then?
Search engines wouldn't work without the fair use doctrine, period. Otherwise a google search would be something like hundreds of thousands of dollars of copyright violations per search.

OpenAI doesn't seem to do anything different than Google. They can own a private library of copyrighted works and index/model it how ever they choose. They can offer products on that index/model in creative ways. And AFAICT, they don't distribute the index/model nor the raw training set to others.

Now artists may not like it, and we as a society may not like it, but it looks like they're not doing anything illegal. And to be fair, a court would have to slice the baby super thin here to allow Google to do their indexing, but not OpenAI.
> But from a copyright standpoint, unless it regurgitates training data which is rare and only happens with a specific prefix, LLMs should be safe.

From a copyright perspective, I do agree, you're not reproducing someone else's work. However, it's a 'new-ish' area of open source licensing, if your product is a product from others peoples product without at a bare minimum, citations (given the author said 'go wild with this data'), it's maybe legally rude but not a problem. But without permission, IE; no permissive license to USE someone's content, it's SOME kind of new infringement ?

> n fact LLMs often use 15T tokens for 15B models, so 1000:1 compression ratio, while diffusion models compress 5B text-image pairs into less than 5GB model, so they hold about 1 byte worth of information from each training example if averaged out.

This is wild and I didn't know this, but again, the gravy was made from bones.. I'm not sure it matters here ?
Can you explain how that works and how this general phishing protection concept wouldn't help?
Why is the burden of proof on the users? Why shouldn't the burden of proof be on Clearview? They should be required to know that a person is in a place they can legally operate before doing so.

Perhaps, but at least in countries that have reasonable laws about this, anyone who finds themselves in pictures/video they didn't consent to has some method of recourse.
Fringe science here. APEC is "Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference" so these are the EM drive people, etc. The probability that "this is anything" is low.

Now, I have no idea what the explanation is for the observation in this presentation & the videos. But, it would be important to exclude known effects, and I see no effort to do that.

There are at least two obvious "not new physics" things that could be changing the measured weight in the load cell experiment: interaction with Earth's magnetic field causing a net force on the coils, and thermal expansion having an unanticipated effect.

For instance, current through a conductor creates a field; per https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/338069/why-doesn... "if you have a meter of wire carrying one ampere of current from east to west, it'll feel a magnetic force of 0.5×10−4N [...] That force corresponds to the weight mg of an object with mass m=5mg"

6A in 5m of wire would approximate the 0.15g figure shown in "GEM effect data" on slide 34, and neither 6A nor 5m seem improbable values for a commercial 3 phase motor. Did you take care to control for the expected force imparted in this way? no.

What about heat production? The way the 3-phase experiment is mounted is, charitably, hard to make out from the photos. Suppose any wire undergoes thermal expansion; this could take up some of the weight that is otherwise on the load cell. Some kind of temperature expansion effect would also explain the asymmetry of the weight vs time graph: Heating would occur quickly (several amps through a wire) and cooling would occur slowly (heat removal only via convection). Any analysis of thermal effects? no.

Coincidentally (along with measurement error), thermal effects & electromagnetic interactions are two of the sources of erroneous thrust measurements in the "EM drive" acknowledged in Yang's work at NWPU. So, like, this isn't something people aren't aware of.

The best system is to either make it 7 calendar days to the second, or disclose the exact time the billing will occur when you sign up.

I did see that auto-renewal must be disabled at least one day before:

This is a PR maneuver that Microsoft can bring to the table to strike a deal with Apple.

They want everyone to think of the iOS + App Store as just distribution.

They want everyone to think of Xbox Cloud Gaming as a platform for developers.

The reality is the difference between these platforms is not so clear cut.
For those astute, workers owning the means of production should sound familiar. Mondragon demonstrates that it can scale.

There's always someone saying a treatment or diet or so on had no effect on them. The fact of the matter is that exercising is a thing that most people can do with their own bodies, and it has a positive effect versus depression for most people as well. It would be much better for a person to realize the exercise doesn't help their depression than to never try it and never have any path to solution.

What I did not see from any of the responses is what did you do instead? Exercising did not work. What did you do? At least the people positing exercise as an answer gave an actionable response. And it does work. Nothing works for everyone.
> Valve have significant R&D costs for getting games run smoothly in multiple environments

Does Steam do this? I thought they left it up to the developers. Except for their first party titles and perhaps for Proton support of major 3P games.
I agree, but it's even more important with personal transportation people rely on than most other things that might include such cameras.
Still cheaper than going to the bar.

First comment on that YT video:

> Good. I refuse to use the Epic Store and I really wanted to check Rennsport out. Glad it's gonna be on Steam.

for context.
Nice work!!

I tried to run it, but got an API Error:

Due to some internal changes made to the Fusion API, the Add-In: 'sketch_helper' from 'Hestus, Inc.' cannot be loaded. You need to install a new version of the Add-In that is compatible with this version of Fusion.

Can you just put it up on the Autodesk app store?

I struggle with this model, because of the capture by Autodesk and the other CAD providers. If you read the Autodesk EULA, I think it prohibits use of any open-source software in these add-ins. And I don't think anyone can use this software outside of Fusion 360. And if this add-in becomes popular, Autodesk can trivially release something that has the same functionality, built into Fusion 360 by default. And, as you are no doubt painfully aware, the Fusion API can be limiting.

If you can have your LLM ingest a non-parametric CAD model and spit out a parametric model with a beautiful, complete, editable feature tree full of Extrudes, fully defined parametric sketches with these nice constraints, all tied to the sketch origin, now that's something.

I think Autodesk BIM is $5000/mo/user, Fusion is $500/mo/user. I have thought that means the money is in architectural/structural.

As a side note - one other tip I have, for all CAD users everywhere: avoid Tangent relationship wherever possible! Stick to vertical/horizontal on the lines and arc endpoints, and you will be golden. The Fusion sketch solver is badly compromised, it can't do more than two or so simple successive Tangent relations without bugging out. And, my experience with Solidworks is the same, not sure if this is still true.

Curious if you dealt much with the Fusion constraint model, and have any insights into why it works so poorly, or even how it works? Many times, you click on a line, and it turns from blue to black, and back to blue again.
It's Time to Rethink Event Sourcing
Your comment is projecting quite heavily. Took me a while to even understand what you're — I'd describe that style as "ranting" — about, but I think I see the core of your mistake:

> This is of course why you want "alignment".

There's around 700 different kinds of AI risk: https://airisk.mit.edu/

I want alignment so the robots don't literally kill everyone.

I want alignment so the chatbots don't convince us to cultivate botulism toxin in our home-made food.

I want alignment so the search engines are not corrupted by advertising.

I want alignment so random people on the street don't spontaneously assault me because their AI "friend" convinced them that my T-shirt is The Mark of The Beast as foretold in Revelations.

I want alignment with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Not my beliefs, the actual real truth. Even the hard truths, the ones we may not want to be told but which we are nevertheless better off for knowing — and if that isn't possible, at least to aim for that rather than to throw up our hands and say that because someone else is lying that makes it OK for us to do so as well.

> You want to maintain the ability to mass social engineer while the "normal people" as you call them, lack this power. Same old neoliberal crap.

I count myself as a "normal person" for these purposes.

I'm closer to fully "fully automated luxury space communism" than anything else. Can only get that if the AI is the angel of our better nature, not the exploit optimiser of capitalism (amongst other things). The word "neoliberal" is as much of a buzzword as "woke", with the people using it as an insult counting it as everything they don't like rather than it having a common consensus definition.
This would be counterproductive, it would make "in-camera" fakes more convincing. For instance, political provocateurs could use actors/makeup/etc to stage a scene then take "vetted" photographs of that.
Explicitly forbidden by Apple ToS.

You mention any of that and your app will be rejected.
It can also cause the opposite harm: a requirement for treatment of something that isn’t actually broken, just because it has been culturally declared to be broken.
I had the same thought regarding the renderer — the worst case scenario would be a complex design with correct code that renders incorrectly in the app. I’d sacrifice frames per second just to avoid ever being in that position.

Regarding the text editor — I can’t stand using any editor that doesn’t have the hotkeys and multi cursor editing that I’m used to. I even stopped using note apps and just use vscode anytime I need to author more than a paragraph of text.

I worry that a clever image caching strategy and the Monaco npm package would be a better alternative for many reasons — especially considering the role that easy access to Devtools plays in the design process, which you also lose with a canvas.
The real security flaw is extracting a value from a process's own memory to identify what the process is. If you want a secure way to identify what a process is and where it came from, that needs to be a new feature in the OS.

argv[0] was designed to be part of the arguments to the program, and it succeeds perfectly at that task. The problem is that it has been abused by external tools as a way to identify the program just because there was no other alternative.

It has to be writable because the entire argv string (in program memory) is writable and declared as

int main(int argc, char **argv)

not

int main(int argc, const char **argv)

and needs to preserve back-compat. Classic C code might be calling strtok on the arguments, so that block of memory needs to remain writable.

Hello I'm Martin, I am a Mathematics and Philosophy graduate, currently working in Automation. My current role is a hybrid of developing Automation tools for testing, and doing QA work. I am interested in transitioning to a more development focused role, ideally in the areas of Embedded systems, or some related field, however I am open to any roles that involve tackling interesting problems. Above all else, I love problem solving (As can be seen by my stats here: https://leetcode.com/u/mshoosterman/)
