I think you might be missing my point. It seems like you're arguing "being an artist is not becoming obsolete because...". I'm saying that OP is not making the claim that artist's are becoming obsolete. The OP's artist friends are making that claim. Not OP. So the frustration here is a little confusing to me.

But to address your claim, I disagree that the entire purpose of art is individualistic honing of craft. That's a very romantic view of art which I imagine many artists would also disagree with. There are many reasons why people create art. One is for the individual honing of craft. One is as a means to communicate. One is as a means of making a living. One is catharsis. Another is to bring about change. And there are many more. Most artists likely have a cocktail of these reasons as to why they are artists. My guess is professional artists _do_ want their art to pay the bills, and might not be able to practice their art if they had to spend 40h a week doing something else to pay their bills. So I understand their concerns that being a _professional_ artist _who can support themselves from their art_ might be becoming obsolete.

I do agree with you that I don't fully understand the purpose of OP's proposal to teach them the internals of how AI models work. I would understand teaching them AI artist tools like Adobe's AI integrations -- since these tools could potentially give them a competitive edge over other artists, which would help them be able to continue working in the field they love. And like you said, artists might not have a great love for the more corporate gigs that pay the bills -- where that individualistic expression is greatly diminished anyways -- so that might be a prime opportunity where an artist could use AI to help support themselves so that they can then spend time creating art they care about.
I think the implicit premise might come from the logical deduction that "all my hats are green" is false means that "i have hats"

the statement is ambiguous when i have no hats, therefore, i must have at least a hat. weve seen the case so often as to know its true without thinking about it

Yeah everything theoretically could be done without dialogs, but the beauty of dialogs is that they can keep you from losing your place in what you're doing "behind" them, before they opened. Modal dialogs are less disorienting to users than just taking to some other "page", because they can tell what they're currently working on is still there behind the dialog.

Yes but what is a "platform"? And if you define a user as someone who connects to your servers, Hetzner certainly has more than 2M.

The questions here are rhetorical. It doesn't matter what we think the answers are. The penalties are so huge that if there's even a tiny chance of a judge disagreeing with you, then you have to take measures to avoid the risk.
As in many large projects, even more so with a large company,
the point is not to react when the problems are happening,
it is to preempt these problems, foresee them and prevent their happening.

So indeed, by 2018, even though Intel has not yet fallen, it's actually already late.
The roots of the problems seems to be earlier, and that's where the CEO, and the Board, should have reacted.

The "normal" third option is Maybe or Option types. (Though if you squint, that can look like returning an error with an unusual encoding.)

The solution proposed here looks like setting a thread property on error, and if you don't clear it, then subsequent function calls fail (if I read that right). Personally, I don't love it. I prefer my error handling to be open rather than hidden.
Yes this is deeply unserious tangent in supposedly landmark technology announcement.

Cheeky. Sounds like he was arrested in a McDonalds, and in his YouTube profile picture he's posed smiling next to a Happy Meal.
Funny how all the negative uses to which something like this might be put are regulated or criminalized already - if you try to scam someone, commit libel or defamation, attempt widespread fraud, or any of a million nefarious uses, you'll get fined, sued, or go to jail.

Would you want Microsoft to claim they're responsible for the "safety" of what you write with Word? For the legality of the numbers you're punching into an Excel spreadsheet? Would you want Verizon keeping tabs on every word you say, to make sure it's in line with their corporate ethos?

This idea that AI is somehow special, that they absolutely must monitor and censor and curtail usage, that they claim total responsibility for the behavior of their users - Anthropic and OpenAI don't seem to realize that they're the bad guys.

If you build tools of totalitarian dystopian tyranny, dystopian tyrants will take those tools from you and use them. Or worse yet, force your compliance and you'll become nothing more than the big stick used to keep people cowed.

We have laws and norms and culture about what's ok and what's not ok to write, produce, and publish. We don't need corporate morality police, thanks.

Censorship of tools is ethically wrong. If someone wants to publish things that are horrific or illegal, let that person be responsible for their own actions. There is absolutely no reason for AI companies to be involved.
Yes, indeed. It’s like you are witnessing the unfolding of the universe with each move.
I think they think that generative AI might help give his artist friends a competitive edge against other artists, which would help make them more hirable, hence assuaging their concerns of obsolescence. My guess would be OP thinks generative AI won't make artists obsolete, but might make being an artist more competitive. But I reckon we're just speculating on their internal state.
[pedantic hat on] Bitcoin doesn't use encryption.

You mean digital signatures - and yes, we use signatures everywhere in public key cryptography.
I agree with the first part. For me, AI art is the chance to have a somewhat creative outlet that I wouldn’t have otherwise, because I’m much worse at painting that I can stand. Drawing by prompts helps me be creative and work through some stuff - for that it’s also nice and interesting to see that the result differs from my mental image. I will tweak the prompt to some extent and to some extent go with some unintentioned elements of the drawing. I keep the drawing on my phone in the notes app with a title and the prompt.

To get back to the beginning: I really do agree that the societal impact on the whole appears to be negative. But there are some positives and I wanted to share my example of that.
Yup, 100% agreed on that, and mentioned this caveat elsewhere. As you say - people don't pay attention to details (or lack of it), as long as the details are consistent. Inconsistencies stand out like sore thumbs. Which is why IMO it's best to have less details than to be inconsistent with them.
That’s about when slavery ended in the US and the community most effected by that is still suffering from the knock on effects of destroying the family structure equilibrium.

It’s better to think in terms of number of generations versus years.
An EAV table is usually a symptom of a wider set of issues with schema management, and in contrast, most people I've spoken to who have implemented their own EAV tables on top of a regular SQL database have ended up regretting it because the approach is too hard to scale and maintain. In your experience, was the EAV model limited to a subset of the overall schema?

I agree a special database shouldn't be necessary at all, and instead, convenient syntax for immutable DML and temporal support should be built into Postgres already. But short of a miracle it will probably take a new ('special') database in order for Postgres to evolve in response. Therefore, in the meantime, we believe there's a gap in the market for organisations who value the 'safety' (foolproof complexity reduction) that native bitemporality in a database can offer above the raw query performance offered by existing update-in-place databases: https://xtdb.com/blog/but-bitemporality-always-introduces-co...

> This is an NES emulator that is built in Rust, and it uses Rust because I wanted to learn Rust

Arguably, in this scenario, learning rust is the "business need" and the NES emulator is the tool :)

But yeah, exactly. A blockchain is, technically, just a content-addressable linked list. A Merkle tree is the same, as a tree. Git's core data structure is a DAG version of this. These things are useful. Yet nobody calls Git "blockchain technology", because what we all care about is Git's value as a version control tool.
Years ago, the Monty Fall variation was mentioned on a local telnet forum I visited. The "consensus" of the thread was the solution of Monty Fall is the same as that of Monty Hall: switching gives you 2/3 chance to win.

That was when I realized many people just memorize the Monty Hall's solution without understanding it, a.k.a. "standardized tests".
If we all stand around and wait for the collective action to start, it never will. imo start by making informed choices and sharing your reasons when asked.

Shrugging at brainworms being inserted into your child and shrugging with a "well that's just the world we live in" is mind boggling to me. Heck, when i grew up there were kids without TV at home. They survived pretty well, despite a bit of social disconnect.

If you add "using old-fashioned predicate logic" or "using classical logic" to the question, I agree with you. Vacuous truth is generally useful, but it's still an arbitrary choice. It's not a thing you can test like gravity.

This is why the problem statement bothers me. If you're going to contrive a puzzle out of pure logic, you had better constrain the world (ie, what logic system the "liar" uses). It's like formulating a geometry problem (behavior of parallel lines, sum of angles of a triangle, etc) and just assuming Euclidian space.

>Police revealed that finding the 26-year-old was a complete surprise, and that they did not have his name on a list of suspects prior to today

So when they said they knew who he was yesterday it was a lie.
> Police revealed that finding the 26-year-old was a complete surprise, and that they did not have his name on a list of suspects prior to today.

"I'd rather be lucky than good!" Impressive that they do seem to have found the right guy, based on the documents in his possession, and this was apparently due solely to the one photograph of his face that the police found and released.

I also note that this guy apparently had back surgery a few months ago.

^ this. The "active" in "active communication" really highlights this as a necessary condition.
Right.

Thinking about it, I don't grasp why the author has opted for linear probing here. Given the amount of malloc(), they might have used linked lists as well.

Have you checked out Marp? https://marp.app/

Basically it generates slides from markdown, which is great even without LLMs. But you can get LLMs to output in markdown/Marp format and then use Marp to generate the slides.

I haven't looked into complicated slides, but works well for text-based ones.

Well, this is what spies do, right? We do it, they do it. We all use the latest technology of the day to do it and we all try to prevent the other.

That the outcome of such efforts is published by the government impacted is interesting but that begs the question of what the actual goal of releasing the information is, right? That's the interesting bit here.
It’s not realistic to expect the experience to be that good even if the price is insane, though, because it was obvious Disney wouldn’t be able to deliver on that

One might argue that having tons of popular entertainers who are frustrated with the platform, and there being no exclusivity agreements with those entertainers (AFAIK, and contrary to the way Twitch treats its top streamers) would create an opportunity for competitors to pop up.

That said, I don't think there is realistically anything YouTube can do do materially improve things under current laws. They can provide a real person to talk to about why the bogus claim is being taken seriously, but they still have to take it seriously.

If we want Google to fix this for us, they will have to do so via lobbying to change the laws, or at least some kind of creative but successful lawsuit that dramatically changes how they are interpreted. The product people are not capable of fixing this, it's in the lawyers' and courtiers' court (so to speak).
Note that the research is centered on Germany, where there is a bit more of a default-deny approach to electrical safety.

Here in the US, some of the pictures I've seen of sample finished installations that the installer is proud of have been downright scary. Like giant wall of 2V batteries with terminals coming out horizontally, open bus bars tying them all in series to make 48V, and then the leads going to the inverter just draped over the entrance to a wiring trough with a rough edge! There was probably a fuse as part of the inverter itself, but no protection for the batteries themselves.

I'm guessing it has to be a case of code inspectors not particularly caring or knowing about the DC side? Although with that kind of current capacity, perhaps the wiring itself is considered a fuse...

If its a small battery, like any other fire.
This. I kinda hate, but still understand, the general offlineimap/notmuch philosophy in this space. I am not in a bunker, I am not optimizing for a situation where I only have internet intermittently. I just don't want to leave emacs if I dont have to and want to be able to be quick and seamless between my code, mailing lists, rss feeds, org mode, and email in general. It was hard won, but I do get this with Gnus now. And yes, love how you can hijack almost all the IMAP/gmail niceties this way with a little bit of work, especially search.

One thing I have done is export the mbox archives of my old gmail accounts and keep them around in Gnus if I happen to need to search through old emails.
My completely unfounded tin foil hat at the moment is that ECC was pushed as a standard not because it was faster/ smaller, but the smaller bit size makes it less quantum resistant and is more prone to be broken first (if not already) via quantum supremacy.
Dice, no; chess, yes.
I don't see how it could make any sense... How can one sue a company for not having found a solution to a problem?

Can I now sue banks because they encrypt a lot of communications but haven't found a way to prevent "bad guys" (for some definition of "bad guys") to encrypt theirs?

Can I sue SpaceX because instead of building rockets, they could have invested their money in building trains in the US?
// I really don't get this perspective. How can you possibly hope to understand "recently-published papers" without first understanding the basics of the field, //

A healthy field moves faster than the textbooks can keep up. Consider the field of, say, personal transportation, during the turn of the century. I'm sure they had some very classic textbooks on veterinary medicine for horses and oxen. But they probably didn't have a lot of classic textbooks on being an auto mechanic.

In the 80's and 90's, if you were studying AI in school, they'd be teaching you prolog, first order logic, various parsing techniques, heuristics to search through graphs. Now it is neural nets, transformers, etc.

A healthy field has to "tear up the textbooks" every 10 years or so.
Point is to get in before goog gets in
I wish Google would allow me to remove the AI stuff from search results.

This was never proven if memory serves me.
After doing a bit of digging and back-and-forth with an LLM, I think I understand the problem now.

By doing escaping solely on the server, it creates two problems:

1. You're leaving escaping up to good behavior which will inevitably lead to some value that needs escaping being missed.

2. You create a double-escape problem on the client as you may need to render the raw output (e.g., rich text) and a server-escaped value would require an "unwinding" on the client.

Beyond this, I also corrected what you pointed out in the docs as that was the opposite of what I intended for that function.

I think the approach will be to do some automatic escaping on the client and then pass some special functions to the render() method on components to allow rendering raw, unescaped user data (i.e., a dangerouslySetInnerHTML equivalent).

If there's anything else specific that you'd add, let me know.

You seem like you have a lot of knowledge, but in the future, if you want someone to listen and comprehend what you're saying, avoid the fatalistic, theatrical language and emphasis.

Your point is incredibly helpful and showed me something I wasn't thinking about, but the way you communicated it almost made me ignore it.

If the above isn't correct (or misguided), it'd be best if you just plainly explain why and what should be done instead (and not a wholesale "this could never work, burn it down" response).
This is unverified so maybe that should be included here since it's getting upvotes. I'd rather delete it tbh but can't. Or if someone can just flag this post for me, thanks.
Wow. And you can park a car that has a battery with 5x the potential energy in my garage without any additional requirements? Somewhere or another the code doesn’t add up.
This is a viable interpretation of quantum mechanics, but currently there is no way to scientifically falsify or confirm any particular interpretation. The boundary between philosophy and science is fuzzy at times, but this question is solidly on the side of philosophy.

That being said, I think the two most commonly preferred interpretations of quantum mechanics among physicists are 'Many Worlds' and 'I try not to think about it too hard.'
Letting the adversary know that you know can be a useful move.

When does known espionage and hacking of nation's telecoms become an act of war?
They're not. It says he "opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat". That could mean he deliberately chose a door with a goat or he chose one by some unstated process and it happened to have a goat by chance. It says he "knows what's behind the doors" but that statement means nothing because it doesn't say how he uses that knowledge, if at all. It's full of language ambiguity.
goodreads does.

Speaking only for myself these ideas are a combination of things I've seen scanning new papers and informal discussions with other people working in the area. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail though, maybe I can point you somewhere more specific.

Meh. It's a cool POC and immediately useful for abstract imagery, but not for anything realistic.
