My understanding is that this confidence value is not a measure of how likely something is correct/true, but more along the lines of how likely that sentence would be. Including it could be more misleading than helpful, for example if it is repeating commonly misunderstood information.

Okay, so what were all the other people doing? If it's one person's worth of work (as I suggested), and there was at least one person working on GIMP, why did they not do it? The fact that it was easy to do doesn't explain why it didn't happen. If anything, it makes it more mysterious. Unless you are genuinely telling me that there wasn't a single person working continuously on GTK for 20 years. It seems to me that they lack a process for deciding something needs to happen and then doing that thing.

Indeed, but I don't find that amount of control reasonable. I can do enough control to be completely fine.
Problem with gathering data off cars is that it's really not that effective vs your phone. A car realistically just sits around doing nothing 80% of the time, while a phone is with you 24/7, likely powered 24/7, and already has telemetry mechanisms built in. An old car with someone using a phone probably still collects the same data as you assert.

And an EV without smarts is legitimately just a golf cart.
Lets not ship so much tracking and ads, this way we can reduce the amount of sent data a lot!
How did this project help you to learn computer vision? I'd also like to write a basic captcha solver as an intro, but superficially this project just looks like a dump of generated code.
Not so. My mother bought a house in France in 1988. The previous owners had a mountain of stuff in the barn that they would come collect “soon”.

25 years passed. My mother started variously selling and disposing of their slowly rotting crap that they evidently were never going to collect, as she wanted to fix the structural issues with the barn, and their stuff was in the way, as it literally filled the entire ground floor.

And then, one day, 30 years later, their children showed up, wanting to collect their inheritance.

They sued. They won. She had to fork over about €100k.

So no, just because you own the house, you don’t own everything in it.

In Europe, it’s also common for you to buy a place, and then when you move in, you find the vendor has taken all of the wiring and plumbing with them. Sometimes they’ll even take things like doors, staircases, floors, you name it.

What if, back in the slavery days, a newspaper reported solely from the perspective of slaveholders, never slaves. They only printed 'facts' - how much a slave could be expected to depreciate by age, which regions produced the hardest working slaves, etc.

Would this be a 'reliable' paper? Would it just be 'financial news'? Would it simply be a 'premier capitalist publication publishing facts capitalists find useful'? Well, yes, in a way.

And that's exactly what financial newspapers back then did. They traded in dry, money making facts - in support of a deeply exploitative and unsustainable system. Always from one particular perspective - the slaveholder's; that of the ownership class.

'Reliable' isn't a word I would have chosen to describe them.

In more modern times, FT takes huge ad money from fossil fuel companies, cheer-leads the likes of Thatcher and Reagan, has never met a neoliberal/neocon since that they didn't love; and takes the view of the 0.1% 99.9% of the time. Almost completely heedless of the permanent damage that is being done to all life on Earth as a result, except as a side note in an article about how apocalypse might affect your portfolio.

Will any of this sink in? Can you change your mind, or at least the subject? Let's see.

jank is not easy to use yet. Removing vcpkg and the PCHs certainly helps with compilability, but with jank still being pre-alpha, it takes an adventurous spirit to get it going. Hang tight and we'll have binary releases coming next year!

Lego currently has factories in North America, Europe and Asia[1]. Their PDF says the China factory supplies China and the rest of Asia; but I think supply isn't as regimented as suggested, I recall seeing more than just Henco in Mexico on my recently purchased sets in the US (I think I've gotten things made in Hungary and Czech Republic).

Andreessen and Co. have always been part of this strange utopian Libertarianism where they believe with all their hearts, that tech sets you free. I say the word strange, because it's optimistic, and forward looking, and not cynical. Peter Thiel used to be the main "villain" while the others kept to themselves. Seems that's not the case anymore, and they are more comfortable speaking their minds.

Realistically though, as an outsider, I think X.com has just become their echo chamber and they've all lost the plot.
What do you mean by "generated code"? All of the code in the linked GitHub repo was written by me, with the assistance of a couple friends who helped here and there, but didn't request to be credited.

I learned a lot because I had to do a ton of research and experimentation (fancy word for trial-and-error) to write the code and have it work as I expected.

Forget government, this is a summary of standard operating procedure at my last (large, private sector) employer. Maybe they weren't all idiots, they were just fighting the man.

You're right. Because my e-bike is of negligible danger to others.

But cars kill tens of thousands every year. Speed limits and red lights being on the honor system isn't working. Luckily technology, like the little GPS tracker in the article, can fix it.
I'm not sure that it's possible to produce anything reasonable in that space. It would need to know how far it is away from correct to provide a usable confidence value otherwise it'd just be hallucinating a number in the same way as the result.

An analogy. Take a former commuter friend of mine, Mr Skol (named after his favourite breakfast drink). Seen on a minibus I had to get to work years ago, we shared many interesting conversations. Now he was a confident expert on everything. If asked to rate his confidence in a subject it would be a good 95% at least. However he spoke absolute garbage because his brain was rotten away from drinking Skol for breakfast, and the odd crack chaser. I suspect his model was still better than GPT-4o. But an average person could determine the veracity of his arguments.

Thus confidence should be externally rated as an entity with knowledge cannot necessarily rate itself for it has bias. Which then brings in the question of how do you do that. Well you'd have to do the research you were going to do anyway and compare. So now you've used the AI and done the research which you would have had to do if the AI didn't exist. So the AI at this point becomes a cost over benefit if you need something with any level of confidence and accuracy.

Thus the value is zero unless you need crap information, which is at least here, never, unless I'm generating a picture of a goat driving a train or something. And I'm not sure that has any commercial value. But it's fun at least.
Let's assume a normal distribution of humanity exists in crypto, ie, broadly, over all of humanity, there are good people and bad people, so we would expect there to be good and bad people in crypto, as, while there are some self-selecting aspects to cryptocurrency enthusiasts or developers, there isn't a way to select for "only good people". This is true for every group of people. This is true of the police, true of the clergy, true of school teachers, true of software developers, politicians, etc.

So if you've never once seen them, either you're wilfully blinding yourself, or you haven't looked very hard. Now, whether or not grifters are overrepresented in the cryptocurrency community, the cryptocurrency developer community, or the right wing crypto YouTubers community, is an entirely separate question, which I made no claims about. Though I imagine North Korean crypto devs fall into a certain category.

But to claim they don't exist, because you've never seen one is questionable. I mean, that works for some things (eg unicorns and dragons), but I've also never seen eg the Vegas Sphere in person, but I'm fairly convinced it's a real thing that exists.

Triangle fraud in brick and mortar retail
I work for a company that uses sensors with some kind of 4G connection. I don't know the details but I did ask our sensor guys what would happen if someone removed the SIM card (or whatever it is) and started using data. My recollection is that locking down those SIM cards is the responsibility of the sensor maker. We have an agreement to pay for all legitimate traffic at a contractual rate, but the device manufacturer actually owns the connection and pays for the data themselves.

So you're probably using the connection in violation of the wishes of the responsible party, but it was not clear to me exactly how illegal that would be? Like I'm sure they could charge you with a crime but I have no idea what it would be.
Clearly it's going against the flow of the thread but this is right. All our salaries are paid not by wealthy patrons but by the flow of money through the economy from people buying things.

If people actually stopped purchasing goods and services we would find ourselves in a depression and tech jobs are far far from the last to cut. Seems people didn't pay attention to the v in their macroeconomics class.

If people don't spend it on things they actually want then the government has to step
in and spend it on things they think people want and I assume folks intuitively grok that keeping the central-planning of the economy to a minimum is a good thing. Anti-consumerism can be a good thing for you as an individual or family but it's a virtue that is only afforded to you because most people don't join you.
This is exciting! I always used to struggle with the fact that I'd waste a bunch of time rewriting the same queries as my colleagues as previous jobs, in part because I wouldn't fully understand the schemas, and would end up writing inefficient queries for particular metrics. I'd really love if this worked for time-series query languages, like the Grafana or Prometheus ones: those are definitely the most painful, as well as writing ScalaSpark jobs.

Bluesky intends their indexing to be used by third parties
The essence of being senior, I feel is "I have made the mistake you are about to make". This echoes in language learning. When I was learning Go I could easily pinpoint what language design decisions were made because of lessons learned from this language or that. (I do not want to suggest schismogenesis applies to programming languages but ... it kinda sorta does?) Teaching with this in mind needs a very different curriculum.

Also, basic exercises are boring because we did them ten thousand and one times already just with slightly different syntax.
I think they would be happy to participate in some kind of audit. They surely want to organise their contributions in such a way as to produce the most benefit to the project. As for suggesting someone figure it out, I don't know why it happens and I would like to know. This is why I ask. I think knowing could benefit others and potentially also benefit me.
This is a human problem, nobody bothers until they face the issue.
You jest, but I have one: It's an Opel Ampera-E (in the states that's a Chevy Bolt), it's a 2018 model with all the connected features but first it was disconnected from OnStar with Opel being sold to PSA and later it was fully disconnected because it uses a 3G modem for communication but the 3G network was switched off (in most of Europe anyway...)

They won’t introduce this subscription bundle.

What they will do is introduce Apple One Premier+ : includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+ […] and all your creator tools including Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator, Photomator, Logic Pro […]

If you’re already paying $40 or whatever for Apple One Premier it’s a very short step to $65 for Premier+

I pay for Apple One Premier. Would I pay for Apple One Prmeier+?

Almost certainly.
The part I found strangest about the house-buying process (in 2015) was that the real estate agents, mortgage brokers, etc., had a fundamentally different conceptual framework than we did. I thought we were looking for a place to put our stuff, where we would stay basically permanently. They were assuming we'd sell it in 5-10 years. I didn't understand this unstated premise at first and it led to some confusing moments.
>Similarly, Maddy Keyes, a 22-year-old recent college graduate and occasional contributor to Slate, shared her unsettling experience. Despite having no knowledge of firearm handling and no license to own one, she went to a store in the town of Noble and bought eggs, a packet of Chinese noodles and a dozen bullets: “As I walked through the parking lot to my car, I couldn’t suppress the feeling that I had just evaded some incredibly faulty security measures, because surely it can’t be that easy to buy bullets?” But it is

evidently, higher education does not prove that you possess common sense or basic critical thinking skills. what exactly can you do with ammo if you don't already own a gun, Maddy?

I'm not sure what promises you are talking about, but I've found LLMs to be extraordinarily helpful for both my job and daily life. They are excellent at translation, summarization, troubleshooting, and brainstorming. I've used OpenAIs API to translate an entire epub, including the HTML so images are retained and the results were shockingly good after some prompt fiddling. With Claude I've received some excellent advice on decorating my living room, organizing my schedule, and quick hypotheticals. There are no pinky promises here, it already works.

For general Q&A they can hallucinate, but so long as you are using it to augment your productivity and not as a driver this isn't any different than using stack overflow, or any other kind of question you might ask on the internet. It's basically a non issue too if you upload a document into its context window and stick to asking questions about that document though.
> I do wonder if a spike in fires is coming

Arguably came and left. In the early 00s battery pack explosions in cell phones wasn't a super rare event. Now Li batteries are a lot safer with better protections to keep fires from starting. Additionally, the biggest batteries someone is likely to setup for their homes are LFPs which are quiet resistant to starting fires. If sodium batteries are successful they'd go even further in being a non-issue.

Opinions vary. Some people say legal documents should never be signed in blue. Others say they always should. In either case, it’s mandatory.
Germans did not exercise any power… other than telling Romanians to send their troops to Don’s bend, and to Sevastopol. Or not selling any of their oil to anybody else. Or basically telling the Romanian Prime Minister Antonescu to suck it up while Hungary took a big chunk of Transylvania.

About the coup: it took place on Aug 23, 1944. The Red Army already took all of Moldovan and was gunning for the Carpathian Mountains. The German front broke yet again. That was the end of German influence in Romania: at the end of September 1944 Arab was ‘eliberated’ by the Red Army.

The front matter in Vladimir Vapnik’s book “Statistical Learning Theory” (first edition published 1995) has this quote:

*

During the last few years at various computer science conferences, I heard reiteration of the following claim:

“Complex theories do not work; simple algorithms do.”

One of the goals of this book is to show that, at least in the problems of statistical inference, this is not true. I would like to demonstrate that in the area of science a good old principle is valid:

“Nothing is more practical than a good theory.”

*

It’s seen in page xii of the front matter at: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/bfm:978-1-4757-3264-1/...

Vladimir was a friend during this time, and I think about this quote a lot with regards to ML tinkering.
Omits the "(+ 50% off sale)" in the original title. This is just another ad.
Thats odd. Anyway seems like that is a possible reading but not all possible readings.
> How to make the best of my situation?

Keep going with your shitty job, gain experience and keep trying. I don't know anything about options in your specific niche but in general with some experience it's usually easier to land a good job than directly after graduation, esp. during an economic downturn. Things might already look much better 1-2 years down the line.

Alternatively bite the other kind of bullet and be more flexible in what kind of job you apply to, with a bit of luck you might even like doing something else as much as what you do now.

> the economy in Europe is really just shitting itself and will likely only deteriorate in the coming years

No, but the OP was talking about a M4 Macbook, not a M4 Pro mini. "I can easily run 70b on my macbook."

Like you said, a M4 Pro 14" Macbook does start at $3,900. Because they lock the 64GB ram behind the top spec M4 Max. There is no M4 Pro MBP with 64GB of ram, only M4 Max.

I have been promoting this and saying it since at least 2018. You can see my publication record as evidence!!!

"Random seed xxx is all you need" was another demonstration of this need.

You actually want a wilcoxon sum rank test as many metrics are not gaussian especially as they get to thier limits!! I.e. accuracy roughly 99 or 100! Then it becomes highly sub gaussian.
Out of curiosity, how would a clearinghouse layer plug into this in practice? Thinking aloud, would you have an event stream of, say, EntryCreatedEvent, and the clearinghouse would provide streams of of EntryClearedEvent and EntryRejectedEvent - would you join those streams together to derive EffectiveEntry, EffectiveTransaction, PendingEntry, PendingTransaction based on whether all clearing is done on both sides?
I've more recently found that "laypeople" really do care about their privacy and but are unaware about what data it's possible for corporations to collect. They do rightfully uncomfortable when they have their questions answered, but feel powerless to be able to do anything about it.

Actual page title:

Bridging to Bluesky: The open social web, consent, and GDPR

So the title I have provided here is not the title of the page ... I know ... but this is deliberate as the title I've given reflects the issue that drew me to the page. The title I've given is from the article:

"Bluesky gathers posts etc. into a common index that mediates all communication:"

“Each user account has one repository, and it contains all of the actions they have ever performed, minus any records they have explicitly deleted ...

... repositories are public, anybody can crawl and index them using the same protocols as our systems use.”

The article then says:

"The preprint also suggests that it is very much the intention of Bluesky that this infrastructure be used by third parties for purposes unrelated to communication"

Does Bluesky intend to honour any concept of privacy or content?

Quoting from the article:

The Bluesky privacy policy notes:

“Profiles and Posts Are Public. The Bluesky App is a microblogging service for public conversation, so any information you add to your public profile and the information you post on the Bluesky App is public.”

Note also other passages of the privacy policy:

“Business Partners. …We may also share your personal information with business partners with whom we jointly offer products or services.”

Also be worth mentioning this from Bluesky’s privacy policy:

“Do Not Track.” Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. Please note that we currently do not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers, as there is no consistent industry standard for compliance.”

You don’t seem to have any hope at all. The stuff you’re talking about is wildly dystopian, and hopefully would just be rejected in any meaningful democracy.

You want to know what prescribed dying looks like? Look at any autocracy, see their political prisoners dying in jail or by execution.

If the majority of a population want reasonable MAID rights, then it’s within their democratic right to get it. The rejection of this is autocracy by ignoring the popular will.
