A lot of scathing critiques in here, but they remind me of the parable of the blind folks and the elephant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant

The parable of the blind men and an elephant is a story of a group of blind
men who have never come across an elephant before and who learn and imagine
what the elephant is like by touching it. Each blind man feels a different
part of the animal's body, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk.
They then describe the animal based on their limited experience and their
descriptions of the elephant are different from each other. In some
versions, they come to suspect that the other person is dishonest and they
come to blows. The moral of the parable is that humans have a tendency to
claim absolute truth based on their limited, subjective experience as they
ignore other people's limited, subjective experiences which may be equally
true.[1][2] The parable originated in the ancient Indian subcontinent, from
where it has been widely diffused.

Really??!? What could possibly go wrong.

I'm currently trying to do a large ORC project using Google Vision API, and then Gemini 1.5 Pro 002 to parse and reconstruct the results (taking advantage, one hopes, of its big context window). As I'm not familiar with Google Vision API I asked Gemini to guide me in setting it up.

Gemini is the latest Google model; Vision, as the name implies, is also from Google. Yet Gemini makes several egregious mistakes about Vision, gets names of fields or options wrong, etc.

Gemini 1.5 "Pro" also suggests that concatenating two json strings produces a valid json string; when told that's unlikely, it's very sorry and makes lots of apologies, but still it made the mistake in the first place.

LLMs can be useful when used with caution; letting one loose in an enterprise environment doesn't feel safe, or sane.
This is the critical difference.

One of the simplest examples is that you could have a Login domain model that handles login-related business logic, that mutates properties in the User ORM model.

All your login-related business logic code goes in the Login model, and any "the data _must_ look like this or be transformed like that" logic can go in the ORM model. If some other service wants to do anything related to the login process, it should be calling into the Login domain model, not accessing the User ORM model directly.

I mean, yeah, securing a border is difficult and expensive work and we've so far had the luxury of leaving most of it entirely unsecured, but the situation has changed and the billions of climate refugees, along with the growing masses of economic migrants means that leaving the border neglected the way we have is no longer reasonable.

Major cities, with far more resources than most, like Chicago, NYC, Minneapolis, and Denver are already overwhelmed to the point of crisis just from a (relatively) small number of economic migrants and asylum seekers

https://www.startribune.com/migrants-fill-third-of-hennepin-...

These cities can't accommodate the levels they have now. How are they, or any city, going to handle an unregulated influx of migrants orders of magnitude greater in the near future?

I understand that the task is incredibly difficult. It's also critically important. It's such a massive project that the effort needs to be started quickly. Border patrol is currently underfunded, understaffed, poorly trained, ill-equipped, and terribly managed. We're starting from a very bad position, and we don't have a lot of time. What's worse is that a large part of the country is far enough away from the problems caused by the current migrant crisis and are unaware of what climate change will mean in terms of the migration of people within the US or the influx of climate refugees so they don't see securing the border or unregulated migration as a concern. The very concept of regulating immigration has become over-politicized. The short term benefits of sustaining an easily exploitable underclass of non-citizens to be used essentially as slave labor makes keeping things they way they are now very popular with the corporations who buy off our representatives. Only after cities are overwhelmed do they start asking for the federal government to do something about the problem.

We can secure our borders, properly regulate immigration and prepare our country for what's coming now, which could allow us to accommodate as many climate refugees as we can without overwhelming our cities and further destroying our environment or we can allow ourselves to be increasingly overwhelmed by the unchecked stream of migrants coming into the country every day until we're eventually blindsided by the climate refugees and powerless to stop them from surging in uncontrolled.
We’ll see. Having worked in this space in the past, the technical challenges are able to overcome today with no new technology: its a business sales and regulation challenge more than a tech one.
My opinion, art meant to capture and communicate the emotions and truth of an exact moment will always have a place. But also, as the time cost to represent a single frame of an idea becomes achievable in fractions of a second, what it unlocks is the ability to represent ideas that are best expressed through longer time sequences. What we wait on is tools that better allows us to constrain, guide and sculpt the generated sequence as it evolves.

As someone who has always loved fractal and Mandelbrot zooms, infinite AI zooms are already cool new art experience made possible in terms of feasible time cost to make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1vrPpM4eyM
> But with the SWE localization agent, a [ibm-swe-agent-2.0] could open a bug report they’ve received on GitHub, tag it with “ibm-swe-agent-1.0” and the agent will quickly work in the background to find the troublesome code. Once it’s found the location, it’ll suggest a fix that [ibm-swe-agent-2.0] could implement to resolve the issue. [ibm-swe-agent-2.0] could then review the proposed fix using other agents.

I made a few minor edits, but I think we all know this is coming. This calls itself "for developers" for now, but really also it's "instead of developers", and at some point the mask will come off.

> The problem is not so much the lack of disclaimers, it is the adberitising.

I agree; the entire advertising industry is well known to be misleading and/or dishonest; it’s annoying and often hurts consumers.

> Tesla is asking for something like 15 000 dollars for access to this "beta",

The cost of FSD is $8000 for the life of the vehicle, $5000 for 3 years (includes free supercharging and premium connectivity), or as a no-contract, a la carte option for $99/month—which IMO is pretty cheap if you just want to try it out or if you only want/need it during special occasions.

> and you don't get two modal dialogs before you sign up for that.

Depends on how you purchase FSD; if done from the vehicle, you get the dialogs. If done at the time of vehicle purchase you get plenty of disclaimers and documentation about its capabilities—though not as obviously prominent and scary as modal dialogs. I haven’t witnessed a subscription purchase so I’m not sure if the dialogs are present during the subscription process; perhaps that’s where the scam lies but I doubt it.

> This is called "false advertising", and even worse - recognizing revenue on a feature you are not delivering (a beta is not a delivered feature) is not GAAP.

Perhaps in your opinion but, well… that’s not how the world works, nor the law. For decades orgs have been delivering revenue-generating products, marketed and labeled as “beta”; a product being incomplete doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value. Heck, most of the software we use is ever changing and often considered a beta release—but they still (usually) offer value. Remember, FSD is software, not hardware; I suspect folks are uncomfortable with what appears to be the new paradigm of cars that change their capabilities over time even while they demand regular new capabilities in other products like their phone or computer.

For what it’s worth, here’s the FSD disclaimer currently present on the Tesla website:

“Full Self-Driving (Supervised)

Your car will be able to drive itself almost anywhere with minimal driver intervention.

Currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. The activation and use of these features are dependent on development and regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions.”

Seems pretty clear to me.

Maybe they can also create agents to replace the “business analysis” where they check and define business logic requirements.

Bad case of title gore, but due to the topic, I did not editorialize.

Basically, Elon Musk's political action committee "America Pac" is using a phone app created with third party vendors in order to coordinate paid door-to-door canvassing for voter sentiment/preference collection for campaign purposes on behalf of Republican candidates and Donald Trump. This app is apparently able to be spoofed using GPS spoofing apps on the same device as the America Pac app, allowing for fake reports to be submitted through the app, in order to get paid without actually doing the work. America Pac and the vendors deny that this GPS spoofing is sufficient to fool the app.

This may not be a small problem or isolated incident:

> Blitz – the vendor in Arizona and Nevada – has its canvassers clock in and clock out using the “Quickbooks Workforce” app, which continually tracks locations and has some geofence features, according to two people directly familiar with the situation.

> But the geolocation data stored on the Workforce app can be manipulated by turning off location services – and one former Blitz auditor said they would typically only review the secondary location data if something first appeared amiss on the canvassing app Campaign Sidekick itself.

> The video comes as America Pac has struggled to grapple with 24% of the door knocks in Arizona and 25% of the door knocks done in Nevada last week – by less sophisticated cheaters working for Blitz – being flagged internally as potentially faked or fraudulent, according to data obtained by the Guardian.

If 1/4 of payouts were fraudulent for any kind of work, that would be kind of a big deal, imo. This also has concerns regarding the validity or lack thereof of the data submitted by users of the GPS spoofing; if they are willing to spoof location data for doors never knocked, they are also likely to spoof the data they are being paid to never gather.

This reminds me of similar GPS spoofing hacks that used to work for Pokémon GO back in the day.

Many years ago I played a silly game "Clash of Clans"-type game (it was a knockoff). The game itself wasn't super fun (build things, wait for them to finish or pay to speed up, PvP, clans, etc) but I played it for a few months on and off. Randomly one day I decided to hook up a network proxy to the game and look at what data the game sent/received.

It turned out that when you queried the map it returned a ton more data than it displayed (data you would normally need to scout for). Also a ton of endpoints, like the one to load your own town's info, would also work if you used an enemy's town id (but with your auth key still). There was little to no verification/authentication blocks that I ran into.

I spent the next 2-3 weeks writing little CLI tools to talk to the API cultivating in a small suite of web-based tools that used assets I ripped from the game to display info (using the currency icons, using the building sprites, etc) until I got bored of the game and the reverse engineering and just walked away. It was fun for a little bit operating with perfect knowledge and using some of that info to put my thumb on the scales for myself and my clan but in the end it become more work than fun and so I stopped.

> "Fourth Amendment case law overwhelmingly shows that license plate readers do not constitute a warrantless search because they take photos of cars in public and cannot continuously track the movements of any individual," Flock Safety said.

> The appeals court "struck down an aerial surveillance program precisely because it created record of where everyone in the city of Baltimore had gone over the past 45 days," the lawsuit against Norfolk said

The cases are principly different. A car's registration technically belongs to the state. It's the state's license plate and it's essentially illegal to drive on public streets anonymized. Meanwhile, the aerial surveillance program was tracking at the individual level on private property.

I think it would be hard to overturn precedence here, but as a compromise it might be nice to make it mandatory to log and record all of the queries police departments make in such a system. There are enough cases of bad actors and abuse here (like the officers using it to search for ex-lovers). Make it so that any searches done on the database are available by a FOIA request, and that officers could be at risk of abuse of authority. Just like they would be if they issued a BOLO for personal reasons.
You can do almost all of what you might do in Simulink or System Modeler in the VHDL-AMS simulator that comes with the Siemens (formerly Mentor) pcb design and layout packages, plus you can directly use SPICE models, VHDL models, and linear s-parameter models.

I'm sympathetic, but I feel like the order against Mimecast illustrates a big part of the problem here. This seems to me like a pretty detailed disclosure:

> The investigation revealed that the threat actor accessed and downloaded a limited number of our source code repositories, as the threat actor is reported to have done with other victims of the SolarWinds Orion supply chain attack. We believe that the source code downloaded by the threat actor was incomplete and would be insufficient to build and run any aspect of the Mimecast service. We found no evidence that the threat actor made any modifications to our source code nor do we believe that there was any impact on our products. We will continue to analyze and monitor our source code to protect against potential misuse.

But the SEC feels this was misleading, because they did not specify which source code repositories were targeted or what percentage of the code in those repositories was exfiltrated. That's the dynamic that drives these kind of disclosures, oversharing driving demands for even more absurd levels of oversharing. They had to go calculate that precisely 76% of their M365 interop code was exfiltrated - is that information worth the cost of producing it, or even valuable to anyone in any way?
