We do a lot of things with podcast and other audio media at https://listenalert.com

But in general we found the best course of action is simply label everything. Because our customers will want those answers and rag won’t really work at the scale of “all podcasts the last 6 months. What is the trend of sentiment Hillary Clinton and what about the top topics and entities mentioned nearby”. So we take a more “brute force” approach :-)
No, I dont think this is the case. While a lot of devs use Chrome while developing, we're all well aware that 50% or more of US users are using an iPhone. And that's Safari no matter what. So many do a ton of testing there as well. Firefox often gets the shaft.
With some clever bit twiddling hacks, you might be able to avoid the loop entirely.
> "Violent Disorder" is a specific offence listed in the Public Order Act.

So the article should explain it.

> The way it reads doesn't seem like it's "completely unrelated" at all.

How is this related apart from the person sharing the same age and the town being the same? One is suspected of arson and the other of Violent Disorder? Does this add value to the fact check?
Thanks. This mostly looks like a pretty standard basic checklist for emergencies, in terms of how to prepare. The cybersecurity tips are interesting in that they’re a new phenomenon, but they’re also pretty basic.
Which wasnt a problem when we didnt have birth control and incorrectly believed religion so we got married way before 23, stayed together and had squat for entertainment options mak*ng sex highly likely. I love my birth control, entertainment, and atheism so i really hope we stumble onto a sustainable path that keeps those and avoids the old ways soon.
The author sort of goes against his own advice but not diving into the specifics of why he doesn't like certain things. I get that such a piece would be longer, take more time and effort, and would draw more argumentation but that's what he's asking for in the piece itself.
Australia did contribute troops to most US-led military expeditions of the past century. Is it that unlikely that in the event of complete nuclear devastation of the Northern Hemisphere, they would be happy to tip the scales in favour of their allies among the survivors by dispatching a few tens of thousands of troops to mop up what is left of the Russian side, which would only be up against a few disorganised pockets of resistance with no supply chain to speak of?

Also, there is a chance that in the event of a full-blown nuclear exchange Russian leadership would see the showdown as fundamentally civilisational, and seek to take Australia down simply because it is unambiguously an outpost of Anglo-American culture.
With respect to residency, there is no cap. What they lobbied for is a restriction to the number of subsidized slots.

You would think that Hospitals would be able and willing to pay for residents.

Something doesnt add up.
I find the factionalism among nerds over Mastodon and Bluesky to be a fascinating display of clique dynamics at work. Perhaps the most amusing bit is the folks most focused on fighting out these clique dynamics are the ones most likely to think they're the rational types that don't get involved in social dynamics.

At the end of the day, you opt-into either network. My only wish is that the networks interoperate, which is possible right now but as an opt-in thing is patchy and voluntary.
It's certainly my hope to be cost effective, but I understand the worry and I'm sorry that you had that experience with the PMs of that time. At the end of the day, I see my target customers as those who aren't interested in running their own infrastructure and having to manage availability and durability (in memcached case, things like needing to pre-warm the cache). I understand that it still may be possible to be more cost effective if you're willing to trade off ease of use for dealing with those other concerns.
> Now who's rationalizing. I was pretty clear in saying implement S3.

In general, I don't deny the fact that humans fall into common pitfalls, such as not reading the question. As I pointed out this is a common human failing, a 'hallucination' if you will. Nevertheless, my failing to deliver that to chatgpt should not count against chatgpt, but rather me, a humble human who recognizes my failings. And again, this furthers my point that people hallucinate regularly, we just have a social way to get around it -- what we're doing right now... discussion!

it's probably greenwashing if you live in seattle or london, but lots of americans live in sunnier places and drive less (especially so now that people are WFH). I drive on the order of ~25 miles a day and supposedly the aptera will let me get that range on a day's charge, even though I live in a slightly less sunny place than say Texas, Arizona, or SoCal.
The dealer should do that. However the manufacture cannot do that - they are advertising to people all over the country - some of live next to the factory and some who live across the continent.
Hetzner seems unaffected?

??? The average BYD line autoworker earns $640 to $840 USD a month, but that require overtime; 1.5x pay on weekdays and 2x pay on weekends.

BYD Wuxi workers went on strike in 2021 because BYD was trying to restructure to eliminate overtime, which would effectively drop the workers wage to under $400 USD a month.
But why is comparing against untrained humans the benchmark? ChatGPT has literally been trained on so much more data than a human would ever see & use so much more energy. Let's compare like against like. Benchmarks like FrontierMath are important and one extreme - passing it would indicate that either the questions are part of the training set or genuine creativity and skill has been developed for the AI system. The important thing is that people keep growing - they can go from student to expert. AI systems do not have that growth capability which indicates a very important thing is missing from their intelligence capability.

I want to be clear - I'm talking about the intelligence of AI systems available today and today only. There's lots of reason to be enthusiastic about the future but similarly very cautious about understanding what is available today & what is available today isn't human-like.
thanks for finding that, i love it!
The story I’ve heard is the North Hollywood shootout led to increased militarization when police were outgunned by two bank robbers.

Of course, there must have been many other causes. It wasn’t the first time in US history that police were outgunned.
You can use rclone mount, depends on how much you're flipping through files or actually doing lots of IO

I wouldn't want to host fastqs or something and use this for alignment, but for spot checking raw fastqs it could be nice
Depends on what. Tech is cheap:

Does it need maintenance? It doesn't seem like much of a problem for working software that is local only.
>What is the advantage to you over a normal laptop?

Lighter weight, cheaper, smaller form factor, not having to worry about syncing storage or things like messages across apps. Also basically a spare power bank for the phone.

>Does it not bother you that there are things you cannot do,

Not really, because I can always SSH to my home computer if I need to have a full linux environment. The case for this is very rare though, and half the time its because I don't want to spend the time compiling stuff from scratch on the phone.
Not the first time a Wikipedia article has been wrong. That one seems to be talking about IP sockets and local ones at the same time instead of focusing on local ones. Could definitely stand to be rewritten.
> The vast majority of people never come up with a truly new idea. those that do are considered exceptional and their names go down in history books.

Depends on your definition of "truly" new since any idea could be argued to be a mix of all past ideas. But I see truly new ideas all the time without going down in the history books because most new ideas are incrementally building on what came before or are extremely niche and only a very few turn out to be a massive turning point which has a broad impact which is also only usually evident in retrospect (e.g. blue LEDs was basically trial and error and almost an approach that was given up on, transistors were believed to be impactful but not a huge revolution for computing like they turned out to be, etc etc).
I keep wondering if that scale of operation that we are witnessing is their "testing the waters" phase and it is 1% of their true capability, of if what we're seeing is already their full-steam operational pace.

They do a good job of instilling fear, but we've learned from Ukraine that there are a lot of paper Tigers in that army that aren't as capable in a real fight as they are in a demonstration.
> (yes chrome started in 2007, but the teams from Firefox get credit too, many of them went on to build chrome )
TFA addresses this. Many humans believe that no amount of animal suffering is as bad as any amount of human suffering, which is just a failure of humans to empathetize. Human suffering is not all that matters, and people who can't be convinced otherwise probably aren't the target audience.
> AWS Textract to first get the structure of the document (PDF). These tools are incredibly robust and do a great job with most of the common cases you can throw at it.

Do they work for Bills of Lading yet? When I tested a sample of these bills a few years back (2022 I think), the results were not good at all. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they'd massively improved lately.
The "Sweden will never surrender" part refers to the brochure warning against enemy propaganda which suggests that Swedish forces have surrendered and people should leave enemy forces unharmed. It is mentioned on page 5 of the English-language brochure:

https://rib.msb.se/filer/pdf/30874.pdf
I was just about to post something saying similar. If I had to guess,

>If the 0-crossings align with your samples, you'll miss the frequency.

This is where the issue is. This isn’t possible with more than double the sampling rate.
CAPTCHA: Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.

These things have one job. Any time they fail to identify a human, they have failed at their job. How they go about administering the test, and (to a large extent) what the human does in response, should be irrelevant. I know that's hard, no-one said the job was easy, and the companies developing them are the ones making claims about their efficacy.

If you want to block 100% of bots, don't put your stuff on the Internet. If you want to block bots and allow humans then you're going to have false negatives. Failing to acknowledge them is dishonest.

None of which stops me filling them out when I encounter them, but I don't have to like it.

I supposed I am getting older and that's the reason but I recently tried playing Horizon Zero Dawn LEGO and Cyberpunk and... the lightning was too much. I can't focus on what matters on the screen (can hardly find the hot spots), to the point where I'd tried to lower the quality settings to have less lightning elements and flatter textures. I noticed for those games that I really need high FPS (>60) otherwise I can't focus well enough.
Reject the flight plan would be the last case scenario, but where it should have gone without other options rather than total shutdown.

CORRECT the flight plan, by first promoting the exit/entry points for each autonomous region along the route, validating the entry/exit list only, and then the arcs within, would be the least errant method.
I visited there in 2022 right they lifted Covid restrictions. You don’t really get an authentic experience with the locals as you’re with a guide at all times and the standard tourist trip is pre planned, but I’m quite happy I went. Although the daily tourist fee of $200/day just to be in the country felt excessive.

I can’t really describe what Bhutan is like, but I did enjoy learning about Drukpa Kunley: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drukpa_Kunley
Yes, but parent said "the anthropic principle is a hypothesis", and I was replying to that.
Brave PoW captcha maybe? Because it requires no input/interaction from the user.
At no point did I say humans and LLMs have the same failure modes.

> But the vast majority of people would meet the requirement of drawing it filled to the brim.

But both are failures, right? It's just a cognitive bias that we don't expect artistic ability of most people.

> But saying it's more intelligent than humans requires you to use a drastically different axis

I'm not going to rehash this here, but as I said elsewhere in this thread, intelligences are different. There's no one metric, but for many common human tasks, the ability of the LLMs surpasses humans.

> saying that computers are smarter than humans because they can add two numbers more quickly.

This is where I disagree. Unlike a traditional program, both humans and LLMs can take unstructured input and instruction. Yes, they can both fail and they fail differently (or succeed in different ways), but there is a wide gulf between the sort of structured computation a traditional program does and an llm.
This is frequently not true. There’s examples all through history of weaker and poorer armies defeating larger ones. From Zulus, to the American Revolution, to the great Emu wars. Surely the birds were not more advanced than men armed with machine guns. But it’s only when the smaller forces can take advantage and leverage what they have better than others. It’s best practices, but what’s best is not universal, it’s best for who, best for when, best for under what circumstances
Which would you buy - a brand new car with no options, or for the same price a three year car with all the options. Or you can go cheaper yet with a 10 year old car with all the options of 10 years ago. Anything other than the most luxurious car doesn't make sense for anyone to build in general because people who want to pay less are willing to settle for a used car.

If cars only lasted 3 years instead of the 20+ they do today (average car is 12 years old), there would be demand for cars that don't even have a heater by people who want to save money.
I should probably tell this to the Indian student I met in New Orleans who went to the community college here and he’s now going back to India because he finds it easier to run his small businesses and hire there.

There'll often be a broad restriction of adornment of any kind outside of a strict list, and/or at the discretion of the HOA/property manager. Many don't allow window AC units. There's a general air of paranoia about anything that could potentially bring down perceived property values, or that might otherwise project a sense that the neighborhood is anything other than a Flanderization of affluence. (There's also a element of social control.) Think historical preservation codes, but for a pile of sticks built in the 80s or 90s.
There's two things going through my mind after watching this video:

1st) What an amazing piece of technology this tool is.

2nd) How many years I would probably have to spend to learn all the ins and outs of that program from scratch.

That being said, I can't wrap my head around the naming. Why tips.io? What do tips mean in this context?

> But I bet a lot of people aren't even aware this is happening to them.

That is the nature of this particular science, and the nail has been in the coffin on this since the 1950s.

There are the people that know it exists, but would have others believe it doesn't because they have a vested interest or benefit in doing so (in control), and then there are those that believe it doesn't exist (the victims).

They are indoctrinated since childhood by depriving them of real education (based in greek curricula), into delusional patterns.

The people who know it exists, and how it works, and try to help people are a extreme rarity albeit very much appreciated by those they do manage to help.

Unfortunately, these people almost always categorically get punished in one way or another until they stop giving their goodwill away, which then creates a self-fulfilling dynamic, where destruction, loss, and calamity are inevitable and must occur before the majority can ever notice a problem or consider the danger.

That is unfortunately, the nature of delusion and schizophrenia during such times (which are common under totalitarianism). Its described quite prominently in writings on how the Nazi's were post-loss during WW2.

> Sometimes you need someone to point out the elephant in the room.

Sometimes you just need to let the dynamics take their course.

Pointing out the elephant doesn't do anything, the people invested in such systems don't want to think, they enjoy the surety of their limited agency, their lack of choice. There is no mystery, they have the existence they want, and they want to impose it on others. This too is part of totalitarianism.

No amount of saying something will make such people listen, their minds are inflexible because they have been made that way.

You have the same issues with cult victims.
And where exactly are these farmers living? Is it somewhere in Punjab with law and order situation, or a safe place?

The onus is on the app developer to make sure their app runs on a variety of platforms. It's not Chrome's fault for third party developers being lazy and not supporting Firefox.

> “They [Nature Flooring] themselves don’t know what it is that they’re selling,” a timber industry insider told Mongabay, adding that minimal testing is done to check the species or origin of the wood.

> When contacted, AHF told Mongabay in an emailed response that it “does not use any illegally harvested wood products.” “We have a rigorous supplier vetting and compliance program to verify all wood products are legally sourced. Any inferences to the contrary are simply not true,” AHF said.

There's a bit of a he-said/she-said thing going on here. It seems like it would be pretty easy to verify samples whether the wood came from a plantation or not.

We have 2 Chevrolet EVs, a Bolt EUV made in the US and an Equinox EV made in Mexico.

They're great. I have rotated the tires twice on the Bolt and I'm getting some different wipers for the windshield because my wife doesn't like the noise the factory ones make. Oh, and I got floor mats for both cars.

I have Car Play in the Bolt and GM's own system in the Equinox (Android for Autos or something like that, not the standard Android Auto) and they're both fine.

I use SuperCruise whenever I can. That's only on freeways with the Bolt and a lot more other places with the Equinox. I was backseat in an Uber Saturday and it was neat watching the Tesla Model 3's AutoPilot system. Very cool. On the other hand, GM was reporting no accidents with their cars, which include ICE vehicles, too. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/02/gm-super-cruise-users-t...

Renaissance was characterized by, not least, it's fucking fantastic perspicacity and foresight. I'm sure if he wanted it to continue then it will. And I'd take the lack of fundraising banners on the site to be good news. A number of years ago I reached out and offered to add some funding for a paper magazine, and they were like "we're good bro, thanks" -- that's when I looked up who was actually financing it, and I was like "...yep, makes sense". Still wish they had a paper magazine, though. I wanted something to leave around for my then-teenagers to read.
