> Unfortunately, awareness of this problem is very low because anyone who points it out is immediately targeted for cancellation and censorship for being an "anti-vaxxer"

I'm aware of it, I didn't have to go hunt it down or anything, if you just read on any basic vaccine info or news website they will teach you about vaccine imprinting, it was like all over the place during Covid vaccination.

I'd argue, if there's anything that hurts being able to talk about those nuances more openly, it's the anti-vaxxers that jump at anything to shout demon. There's a ton of challenges, and issues with vaccines, or with making a car for that matter, there's a million ways to do it where it is harmful, deadly, dangerous, etc. That's almost the case for every single invention ever made. But the anti-vaxx just latch on, like we can't make anything that has risks into something that ends up justifying it's use because you can minimize the risks enough to warrant it being a net positive. Again, same as cars.

What you are talking about in terms of the methodology and the current environment for research is not great, but in all honesty, it's always like this, any field of research or engineering, and yet somehow inventions and innovations to come out of them ever so often, and progress is made. If you peek under the cover of everything we ever invented from the past, it'll seem just as dirty and broken.
The trolley problem is not for assesing ends vs means discussions, or greater good discussions. It's for asessing how people interpret responsibility.
Couldn't check all details yet, but from quick recap:

It's called ambient mode, and uses separate L4 and L7 processing on ways that would be familiar to people who dealt with virtual network functions - and neither l4 nor l7 parts require sidecar
> Any much older than that need to be checked out-of-circuit for ESR and then capacitance

And that's a very time consuming and somewhat risky operation on an old machine you want to keep running. Some old PCBs are quite fragile.

I wish there was a way to test capacitors without removing them.
It is most likely using a Lora - it’s like an add on for stable diffusion that forces a specific style. You can find them ready-made for all sorts of styles - including black and white line art. Or you can also train your own using a few examples of a style you want to use.
I learned ML only to satisfy my curiosity, so I don't know if it's useful for interviewing. :)

Now when I read a paper on something unrelated to AI (idk, say progesterone supplements), and they mention a random forest, I know what they're talking about. I understand regression, PCA, clustering, etc. When I trained a few transformer models (not pretrained) on my native language texts, I was shocked by how rapidly they learn connotations. I find transformer-based LLMs to be very useful, yes, but not unsettlingly AGI-like, as I did before learning about them. I understand the usual way of building recommender systems, embeddings and things. Image models like Unets, GANs etc were very cool too, and when your own code produces that magical result, you see the power of pretraining + specialization. So yeah, idk what they do in interviews nowadays but I found my education very fruitful. It was how I felt when I first picked up programming.

Re the age of LLMs, it is precisely because LLMs will be ubiquitous I wanted to know how they work. I felt uncomfortable treating them as black boxes that you don't understand technically. Think about the people who don't know simple things about a web browser, like opening dev tools and printing the auth token or something. It's not great to be in that place.
fwiw, the Knuth quote is "premature optimizations are the root of all evil"
I was looking for possible inspiration for some kind of best practice to reduce the amount of information returned for wildcarded Redis queries (reduce it to just what's changing, or maybe some piece of what's changing). Didn't find it. Could be the documentation lacks clarity.
I very much agree that Brooks didn't "start everything" but I think he brought value to the discussion of those human organization problems in the context of software. Weinberg got there earlier but I feel like I personally got more of value from Brooks. Obviously YMMV.
I can't eat supermarket bread for that reason. I didn't grow up in the US and find the bread here too sweet. (i.e. any added sugar)

I bake my own bread (can't remember the last time I bought some) without sugar.

You don't need sugar if you use sourdough starter with an overnight fermentation in the fridge.
Mosquitos are a food source for some reptiles, fish, birds, and other insects and male mosquitos also serve as pollinators, of which many a species are already in danger.
This is amazing - I’ve not had a chance to test this yet but if it works as described then this is something I’ve been needing without realising it.

Hopefully you’ll be able to get this on the Mac App Store at some point, I’d gladly pay for this.

At 7, I don't believe I consented to the mosquitos or the shots.
For those interested, I would suggest checking out Spillover by David Quammen. It goes into detail on why eradicating/eliminating zoonotic diseases isn't really feasible without also eradicating the host populations. I stumbled onto it and read it early on during SARS-CoV-2, it will give you a new perspective on the management of disease in general.

As for eradicating host populations/mosquitoes, it's not the greatest idea. Ecosystems are complicated and don't generally benefit from that sort of interference. Maybe if it's a recently invasive species, sure, as long as other species don't get inadvertently by-caught. Drastically simplifying - birds need to eat too, and they tried to do this style of ecosystem management in the past and it has had brutally adverse effects for ecosystem stability.

I think that this is an incredible development, but also seems kind of destabilizing. It's hard to say without seeming or being callous, that it seems good now, but we need to try to predict outcomes far into the future. That is to say - people think they are smart to have done it, and yeah it's doable, but is it really such a great idea to throw such a series of proverbial monkey wrenches into our proverbial biological engines?
They're more likely to give you dengue than malaria, but one thing Thailand has definitely not eradicated is the likelihood of getting bitten by mosquitos with great regularity...
You can look at this fork: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium and see how they did it.
Eventually we'll be able (as in it will be possible) to pinpoint some "contrarian" gene, then make something that only kills these individuals, and put it into mosquitoes.

Now if it's possible to do then obviously some government somewhere will do it (eventually), and no one will notice anything, say it's something that gives you a heart attack, and say we see a spike in heart attacks in 2050, it won't even be that significant since contrarian individuals are few, and just like that after a year the population will be a lot more docile.

It's still a sci-fi scenario now but it's scary to think about what the future will hold.
Although I agree that medical consent is important and the road to hell is so paved:

> But because the intent is different we're supposed to be excited and accepting of it?

One could say that it's the intent which varies between a heart transplant and an Azrec blood sacrifice.
If a machine can take your work, perhaps you weren't as "highly skilled" as you thought you were.
I actually went full old-school and got an portable cd-player.

This has the side effect of me listening to music more intentionally and not wasting time selecting tracks and skipping around. Listening to a full album is great, something I rarely did before. And physically owning music feels great.

Sure, it is less practical for traveling but it mostly sits on my desk to help me get through work. And CD's having a fixed run length helps me to take breaks so my tinnitus does not get worse.
I sincerely don't know where the marvel is. A glorified Battle Chess with static sprites?

C'mon, it's ~2025.
This is a fun idea, but whatever version of stable diffusion being used isn’t very prompt adherent so any kind of complex scene or interaction between characters is mostly ignored, which reduces the fun a bit.

Sure, maybe water was a poor example. Let's look at milk, assuming we don't all have cows at hand here.

In most places, you can only buy it in plastic and sometimes paper carton, though that seems to be dwindling. There are no other options, so people just grab the plastic one.

There's a local place by me that sells their milk in beautiful glass jugs. They charge $5 a jug, but you get that back if you return it unbroken to buy more. That place sells a ton, it's just that most people don't even have the option.

It seems though companies have zero incentive to do such a program. There's no reward for recycling as above, and no punishment for being wasteful. However we change that - either via tax or law, I'd be on board with.

Without looking at the paper, I would guess it would be like a fuzzer that apply mutations that reduce the size of the input.
> What exactly is your point?

Be more open-minded when someone says something you disagree with.

> Am I not allowed to point out the fundamental failure of ethics ... ?

You are allowed to opine. Are other commenters not allowed to do the same?
This mindset assumes that you know what question you want to ask before you have the data, as opposed to having data and then being able to generate hypothesis from it.

Legal basis is ever shifting based on the regional locale. As n+1 requirements pop up, it's only natural to release things like GenChess in the place that requires the least friction, especially when it is not a revenue generating event.
I recommend skimming the PLDI paper linked by asmeurer, it has a good summary. Some of its transforms are pretty C-specific, using the Clang frontend; some are pretty generic and probably work on any Algol-descended language. It's meant to be a modular tool, so you could add transforms that understand other languages if you like.
Your guardians consented to the shots because your brain wasn't developed enough to make your decision.

For mosquitoes, nature doesn't require consent, but humans are put on another standard.

Or do you think that because nature does something, humans are free to do it to themselves, like murder?

A wild bear will kill you, so therefore a human can kill another human right?

I do wonder why we would want a custom kernel though. On a physical machine you usually build custom kernels to enable certain hardware support, either directly or though kernel modules.

nope
It's not quite that.

I would say that consent is the key distinguishing factor and intent follows afterwards.
I believe it definitely does. The inference cost will be much cheaper.
This is a crazy thought lol
Those are both sets of animals that are livestock. That is, animals that would not exist without their being kept for use by humans.

thanks, I think I get it roughly now.
this is the type of tool a C-level executive would mandate to be installed on your devices. Instead of “why”, it would send out notifications to a central server with a data pipeline into genAI which can generate reports on productivity.

Employee not complying? Bye bye equity, severance

Employee opening device too much? Fired.

Of course C-level executives would get exempt from policy because “rules for thee but not for me” attitude.

As for personal usage, I would much rather configure “Focus” mode to block certain apps from opening. Rather than rely on this. I would install this on phones of annoying people though for shits and giggles
Its only frightening if it's true, and there's no source, so I wouldn't sweat it
For my use case, randomness would make it even worse. For muscle memory, consistency is key. I don't know what the solution is - ideally, the app would not interrupt such quick actions like unlocking to take a photo or switch the song, but in practice, it can't exactly guess what I'm going to do before I do it. I was thinking about maybe "unlock and don't show the popup for the next 5 minutes", but then I already know that one of these days, I'll activate it for "one quick check of Instagram" (or HN), defeating the purpose of the application.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I've been mulling this problem (selective blocking in dual-purpose apps/sites) in my mind for a long time now, but I haven't found any solution so far.
That's my opinion as well. I run Emacs 24/7 but I do so inside Firejail, with no network access. It's not architected with security in mind and exploits are too easy.

The same can be said about the Linux userland. The Unix model of giving plenty of access to resources and any user file to user processes is outdated.

I find it frustrating something like Firejail or bwrap is not standard. I don't want a compromised program to have easy access to e.g. my SSH keys.
There are lots of fun characterizations of them. The most significant one is that they are the polynomials that minimize the uniform norm on a given set -- classically, this set was the closed interval [-1, 1] or sometimes [-2, 2]. This means they are the polynomials that attain the smallest maximum absolute value on the set or interval of interest. This minimax property is essential for their utility and ubiquity throughout pure and applied math

The minimax property is one of the ways you can generalize to other kinds of sets, allowing you to talk about the Chebyshev polynomial of, say, an arc or a Jordan curve or a union of intervals, and many of the properties enjoyed by the classical Chebyshev polynomials end up carrying over as well, but faaaaar less is known about these generalizations. In many cases all you can hope for are asymptotics, and you need much more in the way of machinery and sophisticated tools to prove anything -- even to compute explicit formulas for the coefficients.

The classical case is nice though because they can be explored fruitfully without very much background
Really great summary and framework
> Also, in terms of government focus, it gets most of its tax revenue from high earners - "the 1%" pay 45.8% of US taxes. The top 10% pay 75.8% of US taxes.

45.8% of US Federal Income Tax, which is only 57% of the total tax paid by individuals to the feds (the other 43% is FICA).

And it gets even muddier if you include sales tax, property tax, etc (which is paid to government, just not federal government)

The key thing is that the transforms it makes aren’t required to always produce a program that can actually run, or even build.

The user provides a script which determines if a program is “interesting.” A program with build-time errors should be considered “not interesting” in most cases. (And if you’re hunting an incorrectly reported error, you’ll want to make sure you only consider that error to be interesting.)

Then it yoinks out parts of your program and checks if the result is still interesting. If it’s not, that attempt is discarded and it tries something else. If the reduced program is still interesting, it will try yoinking out more stuff. Repeat until you like the result.

There doesn’t need to be any understanding of the program in order for this to work. You just need something where removing some bit of the program has a chance of producing a new program that’s still interesting. That works in most programming languages.

This process can take a long time, and it’s slower when there’s a lower probability of a removal producing an interesting program. Thus heuristics are added: don’t remove random character ranges, but work at a token level. When removing a brace, find the matching brace and remove the insides. That sort of thing. Most modern languages are similar enough to C that many of these rules are helpful for them too. And even if they don’t help, this just slows the process down, but it still works.

The underlying content is largely irrelevant.

What is relevant is what is advertised, and for what purpose. In many cases this alone may be sufficient to show intent/malice/negligence, especially when it breaks law. I don't imagine OP has written consent forms from these people authorizing the use of their voice for this purpose.

This would inevitably come first before even examining content.

If the voice example isn't similar enough, then that may be grounds to indicate fraud. Either way you cut it, law is broken, and there is a lot of applicable law that touches on deepfake technologies.
Trope subversion is always difficult since there is naturally so little training data in most checkpoints (SD, XL, etc.) that reverses things like this (mermaid with human legs and fish head, Cerberus with five heads, a piano where natural keys are black and the sharps/flats are white, etc.)

Outside of manual control like ControlNets / Inpainting or a custom LoRa, there's not much you can do except "re-roll" hoping you'll get lucky.
For sure it is!

The odd thing with what I listed is that these methods (nowadays) are really mostly useful for massive sparse problems, which wouldn’t really be practical without computing machines.

I’m pretty sure the Chebyschev semi-iterative method for solving linear systems is just named after his polynomials (and you can use his polynomials by hand for other stuff), but I really am at a loss as to what Krylov was up to.

I just needed to create shortcuts. I don’t remember needing to grant any further accessibility settings, but I don’t currently have it installed.
To be fair, I could see this basically allowing a form of "back reference" lookup that lets you offload the back reference to other parts. For example, `/(.); \1 = (.)/.exec("foo; foo = anything")`, but instead of doing a back reference, you could have an oracle lookup.

I haven't looked at the examples in this paper, yet. But I'm having fun imagining ways this could be used.
> One could say that it's the intent which varies between a heart transplant and an Azrec blood sacrifice.

Heart transplants are from consenting donors that have recently diseased, not living victims murdered solely for their organs. Blood sacrifices do not involve taking the heart and saving a live either. So no intent is not the variance there.
