Apple doesn't react because you feel something. Apple estimates, based on the kinematics it recreates from it's camera feed, when something happens. It is NOT looking for a visual gap between fingers to disappear, as this would require an exactly correct camera angle.
Yes they did, and I don't know if we have harm data. It certainly provided a lot of funding to criminals. It probably did not cause nearly as much direct harm as we see today.
Solving problems isn't an obvious good, or at least it shouldn't be. There are in fact bad problems.

For example, MKUltra tried to solve a problem: "How can I manipulate my fellow man?" That problem still exists today, and you bet AI is being employed to try to solve it.

History is littered with problems such as these.
That is awesome! Thanks for the paper link.
'Megalopolis' Review: The Fever Dreams of Francis Ford Coppola
Where's the strict product liability here? Like, if Kia is making a car that's easy to steal and it gets stolen, why isn't that Kia's fault and they're responsible for the damages? We're talking gross negligence here.

There have been demonstrations of hacking cars remotely to gain control of it. You could quite literally kill someone this way. This should 100% be the responsibility of the car maker.

Why do we let these companies get away with poor security? It's well beyond time we hold them financially and legally responsible for foreseeable outcomes from poor security practices.

That doesn't mean any vulnerability incurs liability necessarily. A 0day might not meet the bar for gross negligence. But what if you were told about the vulnerability and refused to upate the software for 2 years because a recall like that costs money? Or what if you released software using versions with known vulnerabilities because you don't want to pay for upgrading all the dependencies?

In a very unusual requirement, unless you compile it yourself you're forced to use Chinese-provided binaries.

The app has almost root access; it's too juicy an opportunity, I think it's extremely likely to contain some bad stuff.

It's a disgrace that it's become so popular, someone should make an API-compatible FOSS alternative.

Mere existence is the lowest of bars, kind of a funny way to clarify how core something is.
Not only that, it also creates an incentive for renters to hold on to units they do not need anymore, because if they forego the lease then the next renter will get much higher rent (and so will they, at their new place). So they keep it, just in case.
I'll check that out. I'm not really sure about a narrow js framework. They're so abstracted away from most of the skills that are transferable between languages and technologies that i don't think they're useful as teaching tools.
Yes, that's correct about ECH. In general, there's no real way to conceal your browsing behavior if you are connecting to an IP address that isn't shared. So either you use ECH to something like Cloudflare or you connect to some proxy/VPN/etc. so that the local network can't see the final IP address.
By that logic, removing LGBTQ literature from school libraries is just "consequences" then. They don't have to listen.
This CAH guy just bought the property to annoy other people. Switched to annoy the one to annoy the other.
Absolute agreement on both counts.
Stacked PRs are like being able to review a commit at a time, but add an additional layer of sequencing. It's most simply thought of as a patch series, where the evolution of each 'patch' is retained.

That additional layer allows finer grained history and to mostly avoid (unreviewed) rebasing. Many teams find those properties valuable.
So, the solution to legal problems is… money? Lots of money?
Please read the quotation more carefully. I appreciate the author calls out the source of the data, but the claims remain overly strong, broad and unqualified.

I concede this may not be the strongest example, but in my opinion, the language throughout the article, starting with the title, makes stronger claims than the evidence provided supports.

I agree with the author, that these are useful projects to use for research. I'm struggling with the lack of qualification when it comes to the conclusions.

Perhaps I missed it, but I also didn't see information about trade-offs experienced in the transition to Rust on these projects.

Was there any change related to other kinds of vulnerabilities or defects?

How did the transition to Rust impact the number of features introduced over a given time period?

Were the engineers able to move as quickly in this (presumably) new-to-them language?

I'm under the impression that it can take many engineers multiple years to begin to feel productive in Rust, is there any measure of throughput (even qualitative) that could be compared before, during and after that period?

I'm hung up on what reads as a sales pitch that implies broad and deep benefits to any software project of any scope, scale or purpose and makes no mention of trade offs or disadvantages in exchange for this incredible benefit.

If the car manufacturer can remote unlock and start your car for you, it can be abused by a hacker in same way. It's the exact same argument against backdoors in encryption for the government, if a backdoor works for them, it'll work for hackers too.

If you’re ever interested in going down an interesting rabbit hole, you can read a lot of Nardwuar’s interviews transcribed on his website.

Here is one with Drake in 2013:

https://nardwuar.com/nardwuar-vs-drake/

If you read the transcripts, you can cut through the schtick. All that’s left is a very good interviewer with excellent research skills.

If you’re interested in an even deeper rabbit hole, compare some of his interviews to more mainstream interviews with the same artists. Nardwuar has a certain gift for breaking artists out of their perfectly crafted PR messages. I think his interviews tend to be a little more authentic (for good and for bad).
In the one short video you do see what you want to see. Meanwhile the researchers have hundreds of hours into this...

Probably shouldn't base your entire opinion of the study on a 17 second video or a fluff article.

Your observation doesn't contradict the point of the comic. It isn't about which tasks are difficult in totality, it is talking about which tasks are difficult with our current technology.

The idea is that non-software developers don't know which tasks current technology can solve trivially and which tasks can't be. Yes, the distribution of those tasks into the two buckets changes over time, but it is still not easily knowable by lay-people.

Everything we do today would be extremely difficult to re-create from scratch, but that doesn't mean it is hard to do - because we DON'T have to re-create it from scratch.
A customer service agent isn't a bullshit job. They form a user interface between a complex system and a user that isn't an expert in the domain. The customer service agent understands the business domain, as well as how to apply that expertise to what the customer wants and needs. Consider the complexity of what a travel agent or airline agent does. The agent needs to understand the business domain of flight availability and pricing, as well as technical details related to the underlying systems, and have the ability to communicate bidirectionally comfortably with the customer, who knows little or none of the above. This role serves a useful purpose and doesn't really qualify as a bullshit job. But in principle, all of this could be done by a well-crafted system with OpenAI's api's (which others in these threads have said are "just chatbots").

Interfacing with people and understanding business domain knowledge is in fact something we can do with LLM's. There are countless business domains/job areas that fall into the shape I described above, enough to keep engineers busy for a real long time. There are other problem shapes that we can attack with these LLM's as well, such as deep analysis on areas where it can recommend process improvements (six sigma kinds of things). Process improvement, some might say, gets closer to the kinds of things Graeber might call bullshit jobs, though...
I'd love to learn about Nardwuar's research process. He can uncover what your best friend from 4th grade's favorite flavor of soda was. It's truly amazing.
I'm as awed as the next guy about the emerging ability to actually hold passable conversations with computers, but having serious concerns about the social contracts being violated in the name of research is anti-AI only in the same way that criticizing the leadership of a country is being anti-that-country.

OpenAI's case is especially egregious, with the entire starting as 'open' and reaping the benefits, then doing its best in every way to shut the door after itself by scaring people over AI apocalypses. If your argument is seriously that it is necessary to shamelessly steal and lie to do new things, I question your ethical standards, especially in the face of all the openly developed models out there.
> You’re comparing having a glass of wine on a special occasion with downing a fifth of whiskey every night

No one pretends one of those isn’t drinking though, whereas everyone pretends raffles aren’t gambling, or churches could hardly go in for it so much.

> That is not going to lead to an addiction.

So while the public described by the person I was replying to consider positive externalities sufficient to get around the “gambling bad” label for you it is all about how addictive you think an individual form of it would be for other people?

There are people that think all drink is addictive, and some people for whom this is true, but suggest banning alcohol and you are considered a crackpot.

I have known people that worked in the gambling industry and their descriptions of the addicts are mind bending. For example, they would show up at the offices and demand to gamble in person because they couldn’t find enough in life to bet on. Such people would find board games problematic, let alone a raffle situation.
> However, that carjacking in Milwaukee and Chicago specifically would follow from a nationwide omission of interlocks is not obvious as the vehicles are easily stolen without the need for personal confrontation.

I think parent-poster means that the easily-stolen cars are being used as tools of carjacking, rather than the targets of it. In particular, carjacking that occurs by somehow provoking a victim to stop on the highway shoulder, a location where attackers can't exactly arrive by foot or bus or bike. That way they don't involve a vehicle that might be observed and traced back to them.

An alternate explanation is that they meant to write something like "theft" and accidentally put down "carjacking" instead.
Absolutely. Once had exposure to a sales course at a leading institution and biggest takeaway for me was learning the tactics, to then be able to recognise the tactics when used on me. And when these things all line up, I become deeply sceptical. Examples:

Sense of urgency - limited time offer!

Social proof - everyone else is doing it!

Call to authority - #1 doctor recommended!

For scammers, the way I think about it… there is no choice but to be exceptional at the sales process and understanding what drives people, because there is no product. It doesn’t necessarily indicate someone who is good at sales is a scammer, but seeing these tactics always shifts me into a sceptical mode.

I'd love to read how they (snap) split their ip pools across clusters and regions, as the article sounds like they span single clusters with one subnet globally.
Wired headphones

- only explode outside your ear

- last at least 4x longer than "earbuds"

If sound quality matters, then cans are the only choice. It's reasonable to pay for high quality (wired) headphones. They will last many years if treated well. Paying high prices for "earbuds" is a waste.

Nobody cares about baity articles. There has been an absolute massive drop in standard of living and the government continues to artificially intervene in the exchange market. Real cost of living has gone up by 1/3 for the middle class at the least.

Both sides in the Ukraine War are using "irregular" Starlink dishes.

* Russia is reportedly buying dishes (and the service attached to the dishes) in the Middle East.

* Ukraine has its own fleet of dishes (being paid for by the US, after Musk initially provided free service early in the war after a Ukrainian request), but also many individual dishes that were donated, and being paid for, by private individuals outside Ukraine.

US law prohibits Russia from using Starlink. The problem is, how to stop Russia from doing so? A simple location-based ban won't work, because the front line is constantly shifting. Whitelisting only Ukraine's own dishes to work within Ukrainian territory might work, but 1) what about dishes that get captured by Russia? 2) As noted, what about all the privately paid-for dishes?

Another way to think about this is that this demonstrates just how lifesaving for Ukraine Starlink has become. Ukraine could ask Starlink to disable all dishes within its territory. On the contrary, it has decided that the benefits of Starlink to Ukrainians outweighs Russians also benefiting from it.
In the US, one can use Libby [1] (and likely other tools) to read books online. I guess it's the same elsewhere in the world. I don't think it will be the end of the world if public libraries put more and more of their books online, and use their physical spaces for other civic functions.

> I guess if GH had its own version that would be slightly easier.

GitHub does have its own version. You can organize GitHub Issues into GitHub Projects. GitHub Projects have all sorts of iteration planning tools and team management tools and metrics reports that light up as you configure it. I've heard and seen screenshots that even more light up if you have an Enterprise Cloud account and/or pay a GitHub Consultant (they way some companies love their overpaid Jira Consultants).

I've tried to make the case for GH Projects to employers before. Supporting only one tool is very nice from a developer experience viewpoint. Of course, that's not something management often cares about, and Jira isn't always just software development, but also sometimes incident tracking and support desk and everything else and having more "synergy" there appeals more to some sorts of managers.

Funnily enough Sam is tackling that dread from the other direction by funding life extension research. He's gonna be 120 years old and still promising that AGI is just around the corner, he just needs to borrow another few trillion dollars and a dozen dark matter reactors to make it happen.
I have the same reaction as you - his persona makes me physically uncomfortable and I feel bad for the artists unless they have the common wholesome reaction to well-done research.

But how much of it is a "shtick"? I take it the guy is just weird. If that's the case, it's not forced or over the top.

How are they even able to stay anonymous if they're using google ads? I assume they have to provide a bank account to get paid, and with all the KYC laws it's not exactly trivial to hide your identity.
Probably related. Their current fundraising efforts are enormous.

Rumor is the minimum check they'll accept is $250 million. Valuation in the $150 billion range.

It would be surprising if these exits weren't in some way connected to the fundraising. (And not sure if these exits will be seen as a positive or a negative to would-be investors)

Whoever exported the dishes to whatever Middle Eastern entity transferred them to Russia is very much on the hook for the consequences under US law.

Even if it was SpaceX themselves, they need to be fined heavily, just as any of us would be. They are responsible by law (and good luck downvoting the Department of Commerce.)

Also, whoever took possession of the equipment at the receiving end needs to be added to the Denied Persons List ( https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/lists-of-p... ), so that they can no longer participate in international commerce with the US.

i think that's called "consequences" and it's the subject of the article you're commenting on
It's about the narrative they tried to create. The spin. It doesn't matter much if they were technically behaving as a for-profit entity previously. What matters is that they wanted the public (and likely, their talent) to _think_ that they weren't even interested in making a profit as this would be a philosophical threat to the notion of any sort of impartial or even hopefully benevolent originator of AGI (a goal which is laid plainly in their mission statement).

As you've realized, this should have been (and was) obvious for a long time. But that doesn't make it any less hypocritical or headline worthy.

The hope is that the 300 Sandy Millers can find jobs at other places that simply couldn't afford to have a staff of ANY customer support agents in the past (because they needed 300 of them but couldn't pay, so they opted for zero support) but can afford two or three if they are supplanted by AI.

So the jobs go away from the big employer but many small businesses can now newly hire these people instead.
A rather banal explanation would be that OpenAI is a hot company, and it's execs likely receive very enticing offers from other companies or even potential investor backing.
Meh, I’d say power, the power is just being conveyed through money in this scenario
