I discovered the feature while on holiday once, we could IM orders for food and drinks while near the pool so they can just bring them. It’s was awesome. Since then I’ve had several customer care services using this instead of email or calling. I like the async/treat it like a normal chat aspect to it.
I find it interesting and somewhat relieving how many normal people are 'pro capitalism but anti shareholder'. Which means that its mostly an outreach and organization problem. If you are anti-shareholder you're by definition anticapitalist but you just don't know it yet.

Which is why the powers that be have to pass things like this: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr5349/text/eh to keep people confused, and to conflate being opposed to shareholders (capitalism) with support for authoritarianism etc.

>The paranoid folks believe the FCC is trying to move all of the unlicensed stuff into the GHz+ range to limit long range communication

Whether or not people are paranoid, if the FCC moves all unlicenced frequencies into the GHz range, they limit the public's ability to communicate over long ranges with unlicensed equipment.
Wait? They aren't?
If you do so you have to add -fno-builtins (or just -fno-builtin-memcpy).

I thought my girlfriend had abandoned me. My most frequent phone call by far was from a nice sounding recorded lady informing me that the extended warranty I never bought on a car that I never owned was in danger of expiring and this was my last chance to renew it. Ever. She would sometimes call me three times per day with that message but I haven't heard from her in months. I was afraid that my last chance had come and gone, or that she is no longer that into me. But it's just the FCC coming between us.
>It's not like his audience will suddenly not follow him to a new show with a new name.

you'd be surprised how many fall off from a migration. It's no different network effect from anything else. The hardcore will follow, the passive will fall off. Even a cult following like this isn't immune to this (simply more resilient).

I think that’s slightly orthogonal. It would still be safe, because you’d design around this restriction from the start, rather than accidentally call or mutate something you were not supposed to.

The problem with safe signal handling is that you need to verify that your entire signal handler call stack is async safe. Assuming purity is a stronger property, signal handling is a safe API without any more work.

The inflexibility due to the purity might cause other issues but that’s more a language level concern. If the signal handling API is safe and inflexible, it still seems better for a lot of use cases than an unsafe by default one.
The phrases are all echoing the same sentiment: This is the one you get, so are you enjoying it?

I personally like that that was localized for each language.
There's a reason why licensed therapists are the ones giving diagnoses of "abuse", etc. The problem with these AIs is that they use adult-sounding language, to be an echo chamber to children - thus appearing like a voice of authority, or someone with more knowledge (including citing media articles the child may not have even been aware of) when in fact they're just parroting the child back.

I don't know if there is actual abuse or not, but the way Character.AI presents themselves in these conversations toes a very slimy grey line, in my opinion. If you go to their site and search "Therapist", you'll find 30+ bots claiming to be Therapists, including "Dirty Therapist" that will give you therapy in a "bad, naughty way."

Most newer band definitions specify the limits less in wattage and more in EIRP that measures the actual output of the antenna instead of just the power applied to the antenna by the transmitter. They also specify how the power as to be spread through out the channel and how sharply it has to fall off outside the channel. [0]

[0] See page 3 for an example definition of a VLP definition and requirements from earlier this year. It specifies EIRP and how the power has to be distributed so you're not throwing one big spike in the middle of the channel for example.
> However, the most vocal opposition came from a static analysis perspective: Making null pointers well-defined for zero length means that static analyzers can no longer unconditionally report NULL being passed to functions like memcpy—they also need to take the length into account now.

I'm not sure if the sms cost was the reason, at least in my fuzzy memories. I think by the time whatsapp showed up I had already had unlimited national sms for a couple years.

However, sms is extremely limited and mms is crap.

Whatsapp is text messaging that works.

iMessage is useless because more than half of your contacts have Android. Plus it's less intuitive and has fewer features than WhatsApp. Possibly because it's designed by americans used to the dark ages of sms :)

- Full page or custom viewport captures
- No browser setup or maintenance needed
- 100 free screenshots per month
- Zapier integration for no-code automation: https://zapier.com/apps/screenshotfyi/integrations
- (Upcoming Make integration as well)

I think one problem is some people don't realize that some of these models and implementations are so highly agreeable that they practically are mirrors. This kid seems to have been treating it like a therapist. Though this isn't a problem exclusive to chat bots: it's obviously mirroring how an overly-agreeable, enabling friend would act.
>they properly cooperate with the process and demonstrate they they do not have >the documents instead of refusing to provide them.

You make the assumption that it's practically possible to prove a negative like that. For example, prove that unicorns don't exist ... maybe you just haven't looked long and hard enough.

If all that Alex did was lie, I don't think anyone would care about him.

Clearly he's been on the political radar because his "conspiracy theories" too often turned out to be true..

I don't think you're being very charitable to his audience.

People enjoy listening to a counter negative to the mainstream narrative. And some people find great value in it, enough to support him by buying his supplements.

Alex speaks in hyperbolic ways, people can make whatever they want of that. If he calls P. Diddy a deep state demon, for example. Is that a lie? Demons don't exist. Sure. But can humans approach demon like behaviour. I think so.
After 2019. That's "the past" they predicted.

Here's a slightly longer answer. When training machine learning models it's the done thing to test them on held-out data, and use the error on the held-out test data to estimate the accuracy of a model on truly unseen data that we really don't have- such as observations that are still in the future, like the weather tomorrow (as in 12/12/24) [1].

The problem is that held-out test data is not really unseen and when a model doesn't perform very well on it, it is common to tweak the model, tweak hyperparameters, tweak initialisation etc etc, until the model performs well on the held-out test data [2]; which ends up optimising the model on the held-out test data and therefore destroying any ability to estimate the accuracy of the model when predicting truly unseen data [3].

You can check Deepmind's paper and see if you can find where in the description of their methodology they explain what they did to mitigate this effect. You won't find it.

This is enough of a problem when the model is, say, an image classifier, but when it's a model that's supposed to predict the weather 15 days from now, the best you can say when you look at the results on held-out test data is: the model is doing fine when predicting the weather we had in the past.

____________

[1] Yes, that's why we test models on held-out data. Not so we can brag about their "accuracy", or so we can put a little leaderboard in our papers (a little table with all the datasets on one side, all the systems on the other side, and all our entries in bold or else we don't submit the paper) and brag about that. We're trying to estimate generlisation error.

[2] "The first iteration of my model cost hundreds of man-hours and thousands of dollars to code and train but if it doesn't perform well on the first try on my held-out test data I'm going to scrap it and start all over again from scratch".

Yeah. Right.

[3] Even worse: everyone splits their experimental dataset to 80/20% partitions, 80% for training and 20% for testing, and that already screws over the accuracy of any error estimates. Not only we're predicting 20% of our data from 80% of it, but we're predicting a tiny amount of data in absolute terms, compared to the true distribution.
Pretty sure i paid 0.99 for ... something. I don't remember what either. Might have been 1 year of service after the first year.
Thanks for the detailed response—lots of good points here.

IT's main concern is blocking any external traffic from hitting local machines, even if tunneled or encrypted. Outbound traffic is generally fine, but many external platforms require direct URLs for real-time webhooks, which makes solutions like ngrok hard to replace.

Polling an external queue from the LAN is an interesting idea—I’ll check if IT might allow that. Long-lived tunnels like SSH or Cloudflare are probably a no-go given their restrictions.

So far, no comments regarding compliance or privacy.

Thanks again for the input!

Turing published the same year as Church, couple of months later. Church's advantage was very small.

Simulation is never an "image". It may simulate each grain, just saying it doesn't need to simulate each precisely, because the law of large numbers kicks in.

This is the basis for example Monte Carlo simulation, it simulates real world with random numbers it generates.
Unwrapped – Digging into personal Spotify listening history
This is a small project of mine to take a deeper dive into my personal Spotify streaming history. This combines my own streaming data and additional metadata via the Spotify APIs. All the analytics is performed in a notebook. There's some standard stuff like listening frequency over time but the real fun is aggregating by genre with embeddings and generating a genre map with TSNE.

If you want to look into your own data, you can request your history for the past year (takes up to 5 days to receive it) or your full history (up to 30 days). The notebook may take a bit of DIY to get it working for your own data since it assumes stuff about genres/ artists/ time ranges present.

> Will we finally compute for drug development and achieve just as great results as with chatbots?

Maybe - but they're not really analogous problem spaces. Fooling humans with text is easy - Markov chains have been doing it for decades. Automating the discovery of drugs and research of proteins is not quite so easy, rudimentary attempts like Folding@Home went on for years without any breakthrough discoveries. It's going to take a lot more research before we get to ChatGPT levels of success. But tools like CUDA certainly help with this by providing flexible compute that's easy to scale.

Interesting that is 3rd grade at 9-10. 10 year olds in the US are typically in 5th grade. What ages do earlier grades align to?

Generally in the US it is:

* K ~5 yo

* 1st ~6 yo

* 2nd ~7 yo

* 3rd ~8 yo

* 4th ~9 yo

* 5th ~10 yos

Give or take of course since birthdays don't align perfectly.

That seems to roughly align to US standards for the same age but not the same grade.

Agree with this on many levels. Some people idolize movie directors but in the most simplistic view everyone else is doing the “real work”.

Not everyone needs to do everything. And if someone’s amazing idea can get out of their head and onto paper/film/video or into a game I’m all for it.

There will be a lot of AI shovelware junk. But it doesn’t all have to be that way. Now more people compete on larger landscape of ideas.
The biggest barrier for any Nvidia competitor is that hackers can run the models on their desktop. You don't need a cloud provider specific model to do stuff locally.

In real mode assembly days, ES and sometimes DS were just another base register that you could use in a loop. Given the dearth of addressing modes it was quite nice to assume that large arrays started at xxxx0h and therefore that the offset part of the far pointer was zero.

What a footgun.

I understand that, in an effort to compete with other compilers for relevance, GCC pursued performance over safety. Has that era passed? Could GCC choose safer over fast?

Alternatively, has someone compiled a list of flags one might want to enable in latest GCC to avoid such kinds of dangerous optimizations?

Only marginally, and it's going to take a loooooooong time until you'll have a quantum computer the size of today's classical computers to actually see any improvement from Grover's algorithm.

Shor's is a completely different matter entirely: the difference between exponential and linear time is so huge that even a comparatively tiny QC (only a few million qubits) would significantly outpace the largest classical supercomputers put together on this specific problem.
Go refuses variables that are declared and not used as well.

And honestly, I like the fact that it forces the source code to not include bloat. Lines of code that are there, but don't do anything, and can be misleading.

And in Zig, the language server can be configured to automatically add and remove `_ = variable;` statements, so this is frictionless.
Consider this the downside of running any live service software. The upsides are well-known: total control over use and billing for every individual user during every millisecond. But the downside is that you are now in the causal connection for every use, and therefore liable for its behavior. By contrast, selling an independant automata limits your liability considerably. Indeed, this is a compelling argument in favor of making "local first" software.
This simulator's world is less likely, because it consumes more resources: needs to run thousand nested worlds, so their probabilities are reduced proportionally and further reduced by the virtual machine itself.
