What makes you trust that Fakespot and sites like it are themselves not compromised?

I've had similar success by manually avoiding items that look suspicious in any way, and only buying from Amazon directly, or known reputable sellers. This takes _a lot_ of work, and makes shopping on Amazon exhausting, but I don't see how Fakespot would make this any easier. My problem is not so much detecting fake reviews, but filtering out the possible quality items from the sea of junk copycats. It often happens that entire categories of items consist of junk, and you have no other choice but to pick the least worse one. Sometimes you get unlucky, but thankfully Amazon still has good return policies to cover these cases, so it's not a total loss. The amount of returns they process must be insane.

Come to think of it, I'd really like an AI-powered service that acts as an interface to Amazon search, and does this filtering for me. Bonus points for improving search criteria and allowing filtering by country of origin, ranking reputable brands and sellers higher, etc. Since Amazon will never build this, someone please do!
I made many reports on Youtube, showing why it was a scam. Nothing happened.

I thought information could only travel as fast as light because that was fastest medium we're currently aware of that can carry information. But that doesn't necessarily preclude other, faster mediums from existing, no?
Fear is not an excuse and I’m not mad at them. Actions have consequences and ignorance is no excuse for people causing harm. They no longer should be allowed to exert influence if they don’t have agency. They must be handled in a way that is beneficial to society overall, and one way is to stop making excuses for them and act to remove their destructive capabilities.
Why did you post that comic? Is anybody confusing first amendment rights for what happened here? The point is that Zuckerberg has made a killing collecting data on people at a scale never seen before, and he dresses it up as "connecting people". But when someone collects HIS data, then needs to be removed the the extent he can.

Musk is an even more obvious case of hypocrisy. The "free speech absolutist" is very selective about when it applies.
Pretty sure engineers don't sign off on things like deck extensions, but I could be wrong.

Credentials are insufficient for all of those. A credentialed plumber or electrician could flood or burn down your house and it might be hard to figure out the root-cause, so the credential slips. You still have to do due diligence to find competent people.

I'll admit that for certain things which are easy enough that you can write down procedures for them that a credential can be valuable, but there are a reasonably small number of those things in the world and even when you do write the procedures down you're usually significantly constraining the type of project that individuals in that field can undertake. That constraining is a very important trade-off to consider when thinking about whether a credential is helpful.
Next step is to find large flat areas under the their common flight paths and draw giant targeted ads on them.
Agreed. The jump from GPT3.5 to GPT4 was truly mind blowing, from GPT-4 to Opus/Sonnet3.5 was pretty good, but if o1-preview really is GPT-5 then I feel like we're seeing the hype starting to collide with reality.

Everything you said is 'known' though. The quote I referenced said 'unknown'. I know I overpay for cell service because it works for me and I don't want to risk is not working where I need it to work. That's different than if I had a second cell plan that I didn't even know about and was still paying for.

This is the same asshole who called his users dumb fucks for trusting him, ran a PR campaign with slogans like "privacy is dead", got filthy rich by exploiting our personal data, and used that wealth to buy all the mansions around his, for privacy.

I use Claude for coding and it's fantastic. I definitely have outsourced a lot of my coding to it.
Software development is one of those things that's easy until you have to actually sit down and do it.
> damages for data leaks are kind of hard to compute, since in practice they're $0 until some of the data is provably used to cause some non-$0 worth of damage down the line

Through private action, yes. Use statute to define damages as a function of number of people affected, type of data released and whether the company self reported or was caught, by the public or a regulator. Add enhancements if the company was reckless, the data was out there for longer than a month or if it was accessed by foreign adversaries.
The big thing I expect at the next level is in using Claude to first generate UI-based automation based on an end user's instructions, then automatically defining a suite of end-to-end tests, confirming with the user "is this how it should work?", and then finally using this suite to reimplement the flow from first principles.

I know we're still a bit far from there, but I don't see a particular hurdle that strikes me as requiring novel research.
A model should as closely as possible represent what it is (a table in a DBMS), not what it wants to be (the thing that the table is representing).

Otherwise you have two models, the model in your web framework and the model in your DBMS.

I would take this a step further and suggest that the term "model" is unhelpful and should be eliminated and replaced with the term "table" which is much more grounding.
I have a particle simulation type thing on my website: https://omrelli.ug/

It was supposed to be a fluid simulation, but it’s slightly broken in ways that I thought made it more fun. I made as a hobby project many moons ago.

These days there are similar looking things you can add to a site with a line or two of includes, but I think mine remains a little more sophisticated.

It’s interactive, and scrolling changes the simulation parameters.

This is how court cases work. One side shows a gotcha thing, reporters repeat it, everyone forwards it. Then the other side refutes it, but that doesn't go viral.

The judge decided this wasn't a thing.
I don't understand what the gotcha is meant to be here. If someone made a Facebook account posting real time updates every time I step on or off a plane, I'm 90% confident they'd ban it citing some kind of stalking policy and 100% confident that they should ban it.

> As a long time Tesla owner (I was an early adopter of the first gen Model S), I expected the overpromise and underdelivery of their products, but I'm pretty sure I'm never going back to Tesla if Rivian and other auto companies deliver better value and quality EVs.

Indeed, I own several Teslas and cancelled my Cybertruck reservation after seeing how bad the product was up close (and absolutely not worth what they were asking for it). I ordered an F150 Lightning instead.
I doubt this is real even for 1964 Louisiana. Whenever I move I change my drivers license and it automatically changes my voter registration and selective services (draft). Then they send your voter registration and you go vote there.
Except not all carbon taxes are equal. Taxing investments[1] in carbon emitting investments is such a proposal.

The argument seems self-defeating: let's accept at face value Kendi's claim (following the teacher of the course) that students taking the course can expect a 200 point advantage, on average, over those not taking the course, then an average black student taking the course would gain a 200 point advantage compared to an average white student. That doesn't mean the testing is racist (in fact, if true, it would mean the testing is not racist), it means it favours the relatively wealthy. That's an injustice, and a flaw in the testing process, but it's not about racism, but about family wealth.

Of course, there are historical reasons for why the average black family is not as wealthy as an average white one, but the testing is not it - i.e. a poor white family is just as disadvantaged as a poor black family, according to the test - and Kendi was not so disadvantaged, by his own account.
"Trust but verify" is good advice.
There’s nothing to gain for anyone there. Workers will lose their jobs, and managers will lose their reports.

Molmo released recently and is able to provide point coordinates for objects in images. I’ve been testing it out recently and am currently building an automation tool that allows users to more easily control a computer. Looks like Anthropic built a better one.

Edit: it seems like these new features will eliminate a lot of automated testing tools we have today.

True, but googling soufron brings up a popular lawyer with that last name, whose social media and website use the same handle, and even has a wikipedia page. So I'm assuming he knows he's easy to find.
A long time ago I wrote a useless, but fun program that attempts to programmatically recreate a source image by randomly placing randomly sized, randomly coloured rectangles onto a canvas. If the result of this random application of colour is closer to the source image, it's kept, otherwise the changes are discarded. Over time, it gets reasonably close to the source image.

Install Cursor (https://cursor.com), go into Cursor Settings and disable everything but Claude, then open Composer (Ctrl/Cmd + I). Paste in your exact command above. I bet it’ll do something pretty close to what you’re looking for.
all true. but rather than be frustrated, i just see it as an opportunity - your saying that there's a scarcity of people who know the material? if it's valuable, then that should lead to higher value for the good ones.

don't sweat the lazy ones, teach the ones who want to learn.

it sucks that a college degree is no longer a sure way to spot the "good students", but meh, been like that for 20 years or more.
Well you could imagine seeing a process that causes entanglement and just trying to halt this process somehow. Before a certain time you would simply see no entanglement at all and after some time you wouldn't see any effect on the entanglement. In between something might happen, but what exactly is a bit hard to tell.

None of this is beyond current models though, so I imagine you could predict the results quite well if the calculations were feasible. And if that can be done then that's probably exactly what they did.
So when FB stock tanked and he lost a ton of money does it mean he was making minus whatever number of millions per hour. Maybe converting asset valuation to hourly earnings is not that great of an idea. Anyone can buy FB shares and get same upside Zuck gets.
> The company who made the breakfast of a rapist should be charged with the crime?

The company is not literally investing in the endeavor of the rapist, the teacher is not literally investing in the outcome of the killer, investors/funders literally expect the outcome of the thing they invest in to continue without ambiguity. These are much less fitting than the drug-dealer analogy.
I miss RAM. I feel like if you lived through that 90s RAM frenzy, you probably miss RAM too. It was crazy how quickly we move through SDRAM/DDR, prices dropped and you could make real increases in performance year over year for not much money. I'm sure some of it was the software being able to capture the hw improvements, but that certainly was my fav period in tech so far.
From a security standpoint, what's considered the "proper" way of assigning a bot access based on a person's 2FA? Would that be some sort of limited scope expiring token like GitHub's fine-grained personal access tokens?

> Do you think the "greater share" he "earned" is really 10,000x the average tech worker?

Yes. It doesn't seem unreasonable to the point of dismissal to consider that he's changed the world to within many orders of magnitude of that which the avererage person, particularly the average minimum-wage earner, does. That doesn't mean he has. But the number being four or five orders of magnitude doesn't strike me as damning.
The last oddity I wrote on a whim was a C++ MFC dialog application that was a Spirograph-like epicycle/hypocycle generator. It would would generate screen art by semi-randomly generating layered epicycles and hypocycles with evolving colors. I spent an entire week of evenings tweaking that thing and adding more and more variations before I burned out on it and moved on.
> There are fortunately many websites that aggregate data from honorable volunteers with ADS-B receivers.

I don't see how that's fortunate. I don't feel any particular need to breach these individuals privacy, and the only use case I can think of for these things is to stalk and harass them. This data ought to be better protected, and the flipancy with which people broadcast it is shameful.
It's not true but I appreciate you leaving all of the people with experience actually building usable software for me to hire.

Now? Prices have been flat for 15 years and DRAM has been stuck on 10 nm for a while.

Well, this planet's been hit by asteroids including the massive one that made the Chixhulub crater, and life persisted. I think the idea that some life wouldn't survive all but the most catastrophic event (i.e. something liquifying the entire crust) is honestly nuts. Pumping a bunch of CO2 into the atmosphere isn't going to destroy life; there's plenty of plants and bacteria that thrive with lots of CO2, even if humans don't.
Tech lead.

Analyzing code isn’t the biggest problem. It’s understanding what’s not in code. Like the customers who depend on a certain behavior. Or why a certain piece of code was added. If it’s still used by some paying tenant.

Or how various services interface with each other via aws services in middle.

The complexity of systems is so much larger than code when they run, and especially when 1000s of users are hitting various code paths and edge cases.
Do you know the saying "comparison is the thief of joy"?

If they aren't already using a password manager with an emergency access feature, get them set up with one. As an example, if you use Bitwarden then get a family plan and add them to it - that allows setting an emergency contact who can access or take over the account if needed. 1Password and other competitors should all also have this.

The other thing you might do is have their banking and credit card accounts set up to email you transaction notifications - that's obviously more intrusive, but it should let you catch repeating suspicious transactions.

Is there any new "compliance requirements" (sanctions I suppose?) that made this happen? Or is a delayed change since the sanctions started?
In some cases it is. Do you think perpetual motion machines are impossible, or is that just a matter of our inability to come up with a sufficiently clever design?
Very slow burn. I just kept “almost figuring out” the engineering problems and suddenly over 2 decades went by. Not the “fail big and fail fast” approach that the youngsters talk about these days huh?
And what do you think will happen next? That oil production would cease? Or would another company take its place?
Yes, that's pretty much the definition of doxxing. And then publishing it in a public forum for everyone to see.

What did you think it was? Anything else would typically be illegal illegal.

Pretty much anyone's (in the US at least) information is relatively public. This includes addresses, phone numbers, real estate transactions, criminal records, and far more. Most things people think of as private simply are not.

Hence why doxxing is against ToS for most platforms.
>So, once you understand the cultural context, you know to give the people both mosquito netting and fishing nets.

Another example of this problem was the distribution of high efficiency stoves as a form of carbon credits. People just used both their low efficiency stove and the higher efficiency stove to increase yield.[0] If you give someone who needs more nets a fishing net and a mosquito net, guess what they're going to do. This is a fundamental methodological issue, not a simple problem of "Okay, but now we understand."

>I don't accept the idea that these people want to live with malaria because it is normal.

Of course not, but people are also capable of making their own decisions about what is affecting their lives most immediately. We just saw a massive number of educated populations in the US refuse vaccination efforts during a global pandemic because of a risk tradeoff, despite that decision statistically making no sense for the overwhelming majority of them. You think someone impoverished and facing food scarcity is going to prioritize a government or NGO effort to solve a problem that is inherently a low statistical background noise to their life experience? Why would they?

AI art is just art. Most is bad (same as without AI). AI is just another tool in the toolbox. Shared link below in a different comment. My fav video series that heavily uses AI (images, video, lip sync, sound). I enjoy it and I think it has artistic merit

I think service is an overloaded term. It's so generic that you can probably attach dozens of meanings to it, but here's two: One interpretation is a piece of code that doesn't neatly fit in one domain object (domain service). The other is a piece of code grabbing stuff from the db, orchestrating some domain methods, maybe wrapping it in a transaction, and exposing all that as an endpoint (application service). I think one of you has one in mind and the other the other.
