>In other words the limitation you talk about is not inherent in the technology, but in their choices.

I think it's somewhat inherent in the technology. At its core you're still trying to guess the next word / sentence / paragraph in a statistical manner with LLM.

Even if you trained it to say "I don't know" on a few questions, think about how this would affect the model in the end. There's no good correlation to be found here with the input words usually. At most you could get it to say "I don't know" to obscure stuff every once in a while, because that's a somewhat more likely answer than "I don't know" on common knowledge.

Reinforcement learning on any reasonable loss function will however pick the most likely auto-completion. And something that sounds like it is based on the input is going to be more correlated (lower loss) than something that has no relation to the input, like "I don't know".

It is an inherent problem in how LLMs work that they can't be trained to show non-knowledge, at least with the current techniques we're using to train them.

This is also why it's hard to tell DALL E-3 what shouldn't be in the picture. Like the famous "no cheese" on the hamburger problem. Hamburgers and cheesburgers are somewhat correlated. The first image spit out for hamburger was a cheesburger. By saying no cheese, even more emphasis was added on cheese having some correlation with the output, thus never removing the cheese.

Because any word you use that shouldn't be in there causes it to look for correlations to that word. It's again, an inherent problem in the technology

I can also confirm for example that (despite the UK still being in SEPA), wire transfers of Euro from Unicredit in Italy are getting extra charges when sent to a british IBAN (Unicredit is charging the sending side).

I f you live in one country mainly, it shouldn't be a problem - you just use whatever mobile payment scheme is the most popular there. When you travel, you still need an interoperable option - also because many mundane tasks like renting a car or booking a hotel typically require a card rather than just a payment. It will take decades for this to change.

Good mental model, but I feel its intended audience is people who have their basic needs met. You need at least X calories a day (ideally, healthy ones), you need a roof over your head, etc.

Keeping that context in mind, recognizing that many of our "needs" are actually "wants" (or at least on a spectrum), and that they are more under our control than income, is a superpower. Especially as your income grows, you adapt to the hedonic treadill and/or are under pressure to keep up with the Joneses.

This is true, but some may not realise the important distinction of "actual stuff you personally archive", not "I downloaded this from somewhere".

I suppose even DVR platforms such as MythTV recording off of TV would be excluded here, as per your 'automated'... although it's a bit of a grey area, VCRs could be automated, but not really without changing the tape in a home setting.

Another grey area is more detailed "collecting", such as older video/audio, rarer stuff which does often disappear from torrent sites and such. An example being old TV series recorded direct from TV, to tape -> digitized. But even this, with personal intervention at each collection event, fits in terms of it being hard to fill up drives.

Really, preservation is the cost. Primary live/online, along with a RAID method (hardware over software raid typically) capable of per-disk patrol reads and overall raid consistency checks are vital*. Checksums of all files are a requirement too, and an offline secondary server with a full backup synced every so often.

Otherwise bitrot sets in, and you don't know. Either at the disk level, the raid level, or the filesystem level. And that's where the secondary comes in.

Of course, that doesn't help in case of explosions, aliens, or fire. One needs a secondary offsite for that. But my point is, actual real archival isn't simple.

* if you have a raid, even software raid and you're not doing patrol reads and consistency checks regularly, you're not really doing it right. LSI cards tend to require patrol reads and consistency checks set on, and consistency checks schedules (say, Sundays).

And of course if you don't have a script to dump megacli logs to syslog or what not, you don't really know if the raid is having issues. And you don't even know if consistency checks and patrol reads are running.

(In LSI terminology, patrol reads scan entire disks individually, looking for block read errors, and if found, that block is re-written from redundant data in the array. Consistency checks look at the status of the raid, especially checksums of all disks per virtual disk block. Different checks, both required.)
That's not a practical but a moral one. Practically speaking, the errors would be extremely rare and the gains for the whole society massive.
Good luck convincing a russian registrar to comply with US court orders!
Instant SEPA is free for me with my Austrian Erste Bank account but €1.50 with my easyBank account.

Interestingly, Erste have it off by default in the mobile app so I always have to turn it on for each transfer.

Non-free transfers between those banks can take about 1 hour but if too late in the day then 1 business day.
For ARD (Das Erste) you can find it here: https://www.ard-text.de/
Ultimately the semantics of instant push payment transfers are pretty different from card purchases.

Chargebacks for instance are a key protection which I have made use of multiple times. There’s no such option available with bank transfers. The card networks are typically the ones who handle dispute arbitration and various other issues between merchants and card issuers/cardholders.

Those kinds of features mean that people are comfortable using their bank/credit cards, safe in the knowledge that they’ll be okay if someone steals the card or a merchant makes an error or defrauds them.

There are all sorts of protections available to merchants like card holds which make buying a hotel room much more seamless.

The older I get the more I wonder about how strange it is to be anything at all. How crazy it is to take it for granted.

I was dead for what we assume to be billions of years since this universe popped up, and soon I will be for what we understand to be far, far longer. These moment are precious, and those meals and the people we share them with are too. It makes so much sense to express gratitude for them.

That little moment to remind yourself that it’s all borrowed from the universe and will need to be given back is, I think, essential to actually living. Without that appreciation, does any of it really matter at all? Without it you’re only seeking the next thing to desire. Eventually there won’t be a next thing to desire, and you’ll have never had a chance to savour any of it.
I’m using Bluefin as a mostly daily driver, and it has some rough edges, but it’s mostly OK (and my distrobox is Ubuntu, so most of my dev needs are covered).

My godfather has about 50,000 VHS tapes of TV recordings - all catalogued and neatly stored in huge pull-out racks that ⅔ of his three bedroom apartment (he’s single) are dedicated to. He wrote a cataloguing system in qbasic, having never coded before - these days he’s got a web app.

I will one day be inheriting this lot, and have no damned idea what I’m going to do with them.
Bruksvärdeshyra(utility value) is a tool by lawmakers to punt details away from actual laws, in practice rents become location based so central locations cost more (even if not always as much more as buying would cost).

I checked the laws a bit, the utility value is only mentioned for "disagreements" and the comments explicitly mentions raises as the source for disagreements. Thus when signing an initial contract (as i mentioned) the landlord is free to set whatever they feel like since a tenant would have to agree to get the apartment.

In practice (not by law) landlords are supposed to give a portion of their available stock to the common queue systems, those apartments seem to follow the utility value with some adjustment for location.

However a few years back I was in a separation and since living in Stockholm also a bit desperate and looked at the private landlord queues, the prices were far higher and since I would agree to that initial pricing it would supercede the utility value. Needless to say, I quickly pivoted to buying since that's cheaper in the long run.

Unfortunately, banning it outright will probably only exacerbate problems.

If you, hypothetically, banned it outright in the US, then you go from having few levers on what you can mitigate in the industry to none, because if it's all banned and has more than a slap on the wrist punishment, there's no reason not to charge 200% interest on gambling debts, or other absurd things.

I'm firmly of the belief that the only thing you can really do is tightly regulate it to the point that there's still enough gambling, with controls minimizing as much unexpected harm as you can, to avoid most people feeling tempted to seek out the unregulated illegal avenues with more exploitative arrangements.

I think history has shown that you can't effectively ban a lot of vices, you just wind up with them underground and even more destructive to people involved. The best you can do is try to minimize how easily one can destroy themself - look at Japan's reactive regulation around the most predatory gacha mechanics. Whether you think they strike the right balance or not, that's rather an example of what I mean - you can't really stop someone from deciding to deliberately spend their life's savings on things, you can just do as much as you can to avoid it being an impulsive choice.
What the fuck do you have against people "ruining their lives"?

I've made a ton of bad decisions in the course of my life. And I'm all richer for it. Don't take that away from me.

I despise the nanny state policies of my homeland Finland. I've been a nomad for the past decade and a half due to it because I don't want to settle down in a place where people think they should be able to force other people to not make what they (or "the majority") think are stupid decisions.

It was never free or instant. It only works from 9-15 on workdays and not on weekends. Also if there are holidays in eu also doesn't work for domestic transfers. Easter is fun whe it stops for 4 days even though country has only 3 state holidays during those times. Costs from 25-40 cents per domestic transaction or 7-17 euro per over border one. Depending on the bank.

It takes around an hour or some days over border for transfer to go through.

Maybe you think of sepa instant which is supported by some banks. Very new. Mostly used for people to people transfers. Some shops are starting to support it. It is actually instantaneous anc works weekends. It seems to be mostly free.

> If you're running your business to extract value from people rather than to create community with them, you're a bad person.

I run a restaurant with the same idea - we pay our staff way more than anyone else is outside the Michelin places for example.

Still, you might be a bad person if you're running an exploitative business, but very likely the system will reward that kind of person more than you or I. In fact I find it difficult to compete with those sorts of people because they get away with it and make more money so can do more marketing, expand more aggressively etc. The classic annoyance I face is other restaurants in the area giving away free french fries for a 5 star review on Google maps.

Now there are customers who spot the fraudulent review restaurants and come to ours instead, and the discerning customer is our market segment anyway (we do many other things that normies would miss but discerning customers notice and reward with their loyalty) but a restaurant lives and dies on the whims of hordes of normie customers that are delighted to get free fries and don't mind creating a Google account for the first time in their lives to get'm.

I tried with LLDB using `settings set target.process.follow-fork-mode child` but for some reasons I feel like it still exit from the parent process.

I also tried with a long living process: https://github.com/tony-go/antidebug-examples/tree/main/swif...

And I got this:

```
(lldb) run
Process 14345 launched: '/anti-debug/swift/build/anti_debug' (arm64)
start pid = 14345
exit parent process for child pid = 14348
continue as child process pid = 14348
Process 14345 exited with status = 0 (0x00000000)
```

The UI did not even appeared as it should.

Maybe I miss something in my LLDB config...

I’m not completely in agreement with many of your takes as I think things are often more complicated than how you outline them. EU decision making is long, not necessarily hard because of local interests but because it’s how EU diplomacy works. The disadvantage is that local countries often adopt their own standards and are then slow to adopt the EU ones when they eventually come out. It does happen over time, however, it’s just slow because the local businesses aren’t really going to do it until you force them to do so with legislation. But politicians rarely fight on behalf of their local solutions, often because those solutions ended up costing 10x of what was originally sold and usually taking 5+ years extra. It’s not like you’re wrong though. Except for this part.

> This is due to software engineer not being prestigious job in many EU countries.

When polled software engineering ranks among doctors, actual engineers and TikTok stars as what young people want to be. Though to be fair, software development is going down as people have realised it isn’t a get-rich quick scheme. Anyway. In the wider society Software Engineering is one of the higher regarded and prestigious fields in many European countries. If what you mean is getting recognition by the HN styled crowd then you are correct, but there is a lot of Italian, French, German, Polish and so on, speaking talent you won’t ever hear about in the English focused news. In fact a lot of the top tech talent is not going to the US but rather places like Dubai, Singapore or China because those places pay more. There are obviously people who head to the US but I’d still argue that it’s about money and not because they weren’t valued. You would see a lot of EU professionals migrate for pay if they could. Because EU is just more mediocre. That is not the right word, what I mean is that the sealing is lower. The floor is also often higher, but if you’re in a position where you can triple your already top level pay, then you’re probably going to take it. Now if you mean prestige as in pay, then yes.
Nothing, really. I was tracking the tag #contemporaryart. Some of this was obvious shit, spam, low quality work and so on. But sometimes I could spot real pearls, extremely interesting pieces of work with 1 or 2 likes and no way to get to "top posts" because the artist had too few followers etc. When they turned it off, I basically stopped using Instagram after a few attempts to recreate the experience.

There are some third party companies working on LLM based ATC. It's a hard problem but that's mostly because there are a lot of rules and regional differences. Which is something that LLMs are actually good at making sense of. The new multi modal OSS models are only going to make this easier.

MS with their investment in OpenAI is actually well positioned to do something here as well. So, it's odd that they haven't.
