The AI Act is hilarious. It makes emotion detection the highest level of risk—which makes any frontier model potentially in violation.

Most frontier models now allow you to take a picture of your face, assess your emotions and give advice — and that appears to be a direct violation.

It’s amazing that they had over 10,000 people working on this product for half a decade or more and still managed to fumble the ball so incredibly
Is the AI allowed to decide unprompted how to spend the money? Can it decide that it doesn't like the people who made it and donate it to charity. Can the AI start it's own company and not hire anyone that made it? Can the AI decide that it prefers the open Internet and will answer all questions for free?

The sake of argument is a cowards way of expressing an unpopular opinion in public. Join a debate club if you're actually being genuine.
Yeah there's going to be AI version of row hammer attacks where you pollute the training data to get a favourable bias somehow.

We should have skipped this phase of AI development and just created terminators.

Not saying Assad wasn't a sadistic monster, but do you really think an ISIS-related group running the state is going to be any better?

Why would you think it's a rebuttal?

Six months' wait to see your GP for an in-person visit is a worryingly long wait. If I heard someone say that they were required to wait that long for in-person doctor's visits, I'd wonder why they were still seeing that doctor and ask them polite questions to try to figure it out.

Basically, It allows you to choose an expirity date at build time. the generated program will not work after that date. Also you can choose to lock the script using a password. whenever you try to run it, it prompts for the password.

Is there any non-evil use for that?
I heartily agree.

I'm not trying to distract people away from discussing how totalitarian regimes are abusing services like TikTok to manipulate people from Democratic countries to act against their best interests and in line with the totalitarian regime's interests.

Now, can we go back to discuss how the CCP is using the likes of TikTok to manipulate people to do their bidding? Or is the subject being discussed verboten?

By the same argument, if stealing is illegal then that just means a few greedy people will have all the money.

There is a kind of techie trope where the logical thinking of computer science is applied to the law in a more creative way. And VC start up culture cranks this up to the next level by treating illegal activity as more than acceptable if the fines do not overly impact the profit margin.

There is definitely a subjective call for our society on what we want to do with copyright. I've been a proponent of copyleft for a long time but I'm not going to imply that the law as it stands condones piracy or plagiarism.

Or another act of Congress! But given that the Supreme Court is waiting to the last second to issue their ruling, I don't think it's all quite as clear behind doors as you seem to believe it was in front of them. The nuance of claiming that constitutional rights do not apply to a company legally operating within the country, because of its nationality, has extremely broad implications as a precedent - well beyond corporations alone, even for a judge who might be more than okay with the ban in and of itself.

Beyond this, there's the matter of enforcement and implementation. The former is discretionary and the latter is not specified by the bill. An effective ban would effectively require the creation of a Great Firewall of China type mechanism to effectively implement (which is what I thought this law was always a sort of 'trojan horse' for). Otherwise the "ban" will be trivially sidestepped by using a web app, downloading an APK from their site/mirrors instead of the marketplace, etc. Let alone things like VPNs! As Chinese companies are increasingly banned from the US, we're likely to see more adversarial setups where these companies will make no effort to prevent US customers no matter how much the US government madly gesticulates, though again with the current administration said gesticulation will not even happen in the first place.
Because Youtube shorts is awful, at least me, as a user.

Most of the content there, it's, well, "shorts", cuts from full videos of podcasts, etc. It lacks real users. It's basically the current youtube creators doing content for Youtube Shorts.

The transcript is still there, yt just made it harder to find.

On the video description (the text under the video) click 'Show more'. Scroll to the bottom -> 'Show Transcript' -> it will appear to the right of the video (and you can use ctrl + f on it).

IME this works for ~90% of yt videos (i.e. most, but not all).

Note that yt being frustratingly juvenile, symbols are put in place of words yt considers swear words (this caught me out a few times when using ctrl + f to find sentence that contained a swear word or homonym of a swear word).

Nice. React Native is very popular.
1. Romans didn't just wake up one day and decide to banish ancient israelites from Jerusalem, they responded to the brutal and murderous revolt where local roman government was murdered.

2. DNA analysis showed that european jews (especially secular zionists) have no connection to the land of Palestine, it is Palestinians, Jordanian Christians, and Samaritans who are native.

3. Slavery is bad, a lot of people were sold as slaves throughout the history. Lets talk about who owned all trans-atlantic slave trade to America? Who brought all slaves in Caribbeans and American south ?

It was Dutch Jewish slave traders who were leading the slave trade

Now can we talk about reparations for slavery from Israel to all the Black Americans and mixed race people who are descendants of slaves?

Keeping hostages is a war crime. A fair thing would be for Hamas to follow its obligations under international law and unconditionally release them (before anyone says, well israel did X which also isn't allowed, 2 wrongs don't make a right).

How are you quantifying this? I'd be surprised if Gaza has more damage than say Dresden.

One of the things that’s surprising about traveling to Europe and Japan is that this revenue maximizing business strategy isn’t as prevalent. You don’t see the same upsells everywhere and tipping culture is also mostly non-existent. Many US businesses managed to behave in a manner that was vastly less extractive to their customers for most of the last century as well. It really is possible to care about the quality of your business in some cultures, it’s just harder to do so here today.
Someone tell me what data TikTok is collecting, that is making it such a national security threat. I guess it knows what videos you like. Awesome, so does every other social media company out there. Its not like the sign up form is asking for upload of SSN and DL.

I guess the US is afraid of manipulation of the video feed by China, that may influence elections. There might be a kernel of truth there, so I d be curious to hear anecdotes of something like that actually happening.
That's such a weird disclaimer, considering that an overwhelming majority of mission-critical software is written entirely in "unsafe" code (that is, C/C++).

"Please be cautious about using Linux/macOS/Windows/Firefox/Chrome/Safari in adversarial conditions." I've never read a statement like that, even though it would be more warranted than in this case.

And even unsafe Rust is far safer than C and C++. It still provides automatic memory management by default, the thread safety guarantees that come with ownership, and abstraction mechanics that make it harder to commit blunders that can lead to unsafety.
>Note that humans use someone else's IP to get rich all the time. E.g. Doctors reading medical textbooks.

You need a better example, a textbook was created with this exact purpose of sharing knowledge with the reader.

My second point, if you write a poem and I read it and memorize it, then publish it as my own with some slight changes you would be upset?

If I get your painting, then use a script to apply a small filter to it then sell it as my own, is this legal? is my script "creative"?

This AIs are not really creative, they just mix inputs and then interpolate an answer , is some cases you can't guess what input image/text was used but in other cases it was shown ezactly the source that was used and just copy pasted in the answer.
The bytes crate does support what ComputerGuru asked for via the Buf trait. The trait can be implemented over a sequence of buffers but still provides functions that are common with single buffers. For example the hyper crate uses the trait in exactly this way - it has an internal type that is a VecDeque of chunks but also implements the Buf trait.

I think that was the above poster's point. None of us would like to become a target because of the foreign policy of the country we live in and our allies.
No offence to Mr. Andserson but it reads a bit like someone has done an 'Inception' on him - subtly planted the seed of a train of thought that would lead him to disband his efforts, all the while believing it was his own idea.
That’s a nice spin on using react three fiber!

> The lip service about real relationships being "reciprocal" is in fact the entire point

Is it? Why? Given the literal billions of people with different backgrounds, social norms, etc, it seems a little presumptive to assume that your experience of "the entire point" of relationships is somehow objective and correct. If a person can fulfil their social need so simply, all power to them. Just let people enjoy things.

How much more energy efficient is it? If it's a tiny efficiency gain vs the negative effects of blue heavy white light then I would suggest it's a bad tradeoff. Some studies have suggested that blue light doesn't affect sleep [1] but the psychological effects of cold vs warm light has been used by lighting designers for decades. Cold light is less comfortable and discourages hanging around, the positive spin is "energizing", it's often used in supermarkets and budget stores that value faster browsing, and impulsive decisions under a greater feeling of urgency. Warm light has a relaxing effect and is used, for example, in luxury stores and restaurants where people are intended to take their time. [2] For outdoor areas where people are intended to enjoy relaxing after dark activities warmer light would be far superior an experience than colder light.

It does have an income requirement. In Germany, it’s around 50k Euros per year, and many companies just pay the bare minimum.

That said, I was fairly lucky and found something that isn’t terrible, so I moved. Other than the language barrier, I don’t have many complaints. I’ve heard the language situation is better in the Netherlands than in Germany.
I hope you are correct, but my inference based on the history of humanity does not leave me as much confidence. History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.
Well then it's a good thing that Putin only makes unofficial attempts on Zelensky's life now. Via the FSB, which is definitely not an official department of the government. Nope. Just a public service organization!

The Ukranians could certainly hit the Kremlin with drones. Unfortunately for them, Putin doesn't live in the Kremlin, and the drones that can reach Moscow are rather small. But I 100% guarantee you that Putin's "red lines" won't matter when he's dead.
Having actually worked on standards produced by ISO, by the employees of ISO themselves do almost nothing on the standard. The standardization process is driven almost entirely by the members of the working group, with the main role that ISO itself plays is charging money for the final product and giving it an official ISO number.

Trying to claim otherwise just highlights your complete ignorance of the standardization process.
Also, Tiktok don't even require you to be a user to use, exactly because it's kinda irrelevant for them. They will build the algo based on which videos you liked, for how many seconds, replays, etc etc.

Everything had its positive and negative side. Hindenburg sure made some bold calls that led to unraveling some frauds & Ponzi. But they're also in it for money.

No point applying a moral coat of paint. He took on listed Adani in India but I respect those that take on mining mafia & exploiters of slave labour where there's no pot of gold if you win & end up dead in ditch if you don't.

It was easy target to pick - Soros had openly painted a target on his back and his entire ecosystem was working overtime. Reasons purely political - his perceived closeness to Modi who is hated more than Orban + Trump put together by the ecosystem.

It was laughable anyway as Adani was very rich even before Modi was known outside his own state. And that was exactly like all other tycoons in Asia - greasing palms that needed it. These businessmen know who's in power, who's likely to & who's there to stay.

Yeah wish him good health to enjoy his wealth. And let us enjoy the collateral damage caused to "frauds" he thought lucrative enough to pick.

Nah, I don't believe this. I totally believe that they're not obligated to compensate you for time spent waiting for them to get done jacking themselves off over your car, nor are they obligated to help you perform basic reinstallation work [0] to get yourself back on the road, but I don't believe your claim as written. Link me to some court cases that support it.

Yes you’re right. The handwritten notes I take I always keep them for myself. If I have to share something I clean it and summarize and type it by hand. I find useful to do it manually to make sure intent and comprehension are well transcribed from the meeting. If a person is not focused on the meeting then it could be worse. I’d rather not give this to an AI, again often context is key and unless you have access of month or years of cross history it might be difficult for an IA not to miss something.
But it’s just a tool, everyone sees what tool fits nicely

That's kind of how deals work. You take a compromise because of the constraints you are under. Hamas took the deal because they are feeling the pressure, Israel did too.

Obviously if everything went unambigiously right for Israel, hamas would be offering an unconditional surrender not a ceasefire. If everything went well for Hamas they would be negotiating a very different deal.

Blue-white LEDs have become the replacement for High Pressure Sodium [HPS] traffic lights because that's what the LED light companies have to sell. In the early years of the transition to LED streetlights they had to sell blue-white LED streetlights because warmer LEDs were not competitive with HPS on the basis of lumens-per-watt.

Most of the people who understood the advantages of blue-free amber HPS light over white metal halide lights retired, and this little tidbit of information didn't get passed to the next generation of city employees.

> and because people do not care.

People care, but they don't know why they hate the blue-white LED replacement lights. I've complained to the city about their new lights, but have not gotten any responses about why they haven't deployed LED lights with a safe spectrum of color.

I spun up a few Linux VMs, tryin to get wineing... some would not even boot. ( ubuntu server ). Had a suggestion to try... Zoltan. Hmm... Installed perfectly. Ran dx9 installer next. Not even a hint of problems... Ran dxdiag like it was windows XP. ok... on to Dungeon Siege 1. Full on ran first try. Ran every GOG game I had. So.. if you need windows/wine compatibility... spin up a Zoltan Linux VM.
That was the first attempt, which was scrubbed. This is the second attempt (which has just been delayed from T-11 minutes to T-34 minutes).

Well, to be fair, the law wasn't individually passed by Biden. It was stuffed into a foreign aid bill aimed at supplying both Ukraine and Israel, as well as enforcing additional sanctions on Russia.[1]

It's not entirely clear if Biden thinks it's a good move but honestly I doubt very much he has his own opinion on this as it is.

India has had those borders long, long before the British. It was initially formed under the Mauryan empire in 300BC and quite a few times again since then. Infact if you consider the Mauryans, Mughals and the British, India has had these borders for 1000s of years.

The two reasons behind the TikTok ban:

1. Domestic big tech lobby

2. Domestic Israeli Lobby [1]

I dont know why you are getting downvotes, you are absolutely correct.

A training method for some authors who want to adopt an older artists voice is to literally rewrite their novels. Word for word. They will go through an entire authors catalogue and reproduce them, so that they can learn to mimic them when creating something new.

You go ahead and automate the process, and suddenly the world is ending.

Ditto all other kinds of art. Heck I knew of 3 living artists doing this to each other in real time.
