For most modern inkjet printers, there's a simple reason: there must be ink inside the printhead at all times[1] or some of the nozzles will dry out and clog.

Cannot wait. That said, somehow I don't think it will help us with a UK-based API provider we work with that provide us with ISO-encoded UTC time strings that are actually BST during northern hemisphere summer (or localised strings, e.g. +6 where the datetime component is actually UTC).
How is that more relevant?
> Is this a federal (US) mandate or a law in any other country?

No, its a backdoor regulation in the US (probably using the threat of actual regulation premised on controlling counterfeiting to get firms onboard) via agreements from manufacturers to act without regulation.

I don't think it's an overt scam, but let's put it this way: as with auction houses, there is a disconnect between the service the company is providing and what the buyers think they're getting. And the companies have no special interest in correcting that.

For grading companies and for auction houses, the goal is to move the highest possible volume of goods at the highest possible valuation. They're not going out of their way to root out non-obvious fraud. They operate with the assumption that 99% of the traffic they're handling is legitimate, and of the 1% that's forged, only a small fraction of the buyers will ever find out. On the rare occasion it blows up, they can apologize and settle for an amount much less than what it would take to investigate every specimen with great zeal.
I think the problem is that people didn't know comics would be valuable. If you knew that, then just buy a bunch of the comics and store them safely. It's probably a lot less work, won't get stuck with fakes if you can't sell them, and it's 100% legal.

I have a similar spider story, for the past nine years a rather large spider (for the UK) had been living under the bookcase by my front door. I have left it alone, but do hoover up the graveyard of consumed insects every couple of months. I caught it a few months ago when I had new carpet laid, released it back to its spot once the bookcase was back in place :D
Humans are animals, very successful ones. The only reason other animals are kept in check, is because they eat their food source until there's too little left to sustain them.

Goats will eat everything bare, locusts destroy everything, beetles ruin forests, beavers dam rivers changing ecosystems so much, it can be seen from space.

Every single lifeform on this planet expands, grows, multiplies without restraint. Animals don't csre one wit about conservation, or balance, or restraint. They never consider such things, ever, beyond filling their belly.

You act as if other animals are somehow noble, yet it is only humans that take deep, strong thought and care about the environment.
It's hard to say, because it's conjecture.
This was an informative article and I hope the author continues the series.

Regarding AI-assisted renaming of variables, the author calls this "a strict improvement over traditional decompilation." But looking at the example:

struct IxpMsg { struct Buffer {
char* data; uint8_t* buffer;
char* pos; uint8_t* pos;
char* end; => uint8_t* streamPos;
_ixpuint size; uint32_t bufferSize;
_ixpuint mode; uint32_t type;
}; }
Ground Truth ReSym (AI)

I am reluctant to allow the decompiler to influence my judgment about the meaning of variables. `streamPos` is not equivalent to `end`. Consider the issue multiplied by 20 or 100 as many incorrect assumptions, and it would severel cloud your understanding of the decompiled code.

Combining this with reasoning models that can justify their labels would be very helpful. UX improvements could also be made to indicate confidence or progressively disclose these assumptions.

Previous experience with aviation radio comms helps a lot. Typical radio comms essentially follow a template, and it’s done in a way where you can safely approximate a LOT (…just not numbers). But the…phraseology if you will, can be approximated quite easily with experience.

Funnily enough, American ATC / pilots are, I find, a lot more frequently ‘fast and loose’ compared to other areas, even English-speaking ones. Countless recordings online of EALD pilots being befuddled by some self-identified hotshot air traffic controller using overly casual / sloppy language, sometimes resulting in near misses or worse.

It sounds weaselish but it depends on what you count as pain. If you count 'response to injury stimulus' then it just needs to be a productive action in response to the injury. Plants feel pain by that definition. Bizarrely plants can be anesthetized which freezes autonomic responses like rotating to face sunlight or opening of flowers. For an example of a useful injury response without learning: something like 'invest energy in upping the poison production if something bites my leaves' would be a useful response with no learning involved.

Of course under that definition you could call alarms that go off when a window is busted a form of pain for the building. Which I suppose highlights just how loose our definitions really are. I'm no pain semantics expert but I expect rightfully or wrongly our definitions of pain are animal neurology centered.
It's a bit unfair to blame mosquitoes (who are also only a small portion of insects). As far as I'm aware, the diseases hitch a ride in mosquitoes, not harming them typically. The mosquitoes aren't trying to pass it on; it gets them no benefit (in fact it would arguably be detrimental; fewer humans to feed on because they died means less food).
Pain also works to mitigate and prevent damage. It serves an immediate purpose, stop the pain! Something bad is happening!

Humans frequently kill insects unconsciously. Take a peek at a parking lot next to a river in warmer months, absolve yourself of guilt.

86% of cigarette smokers are daily smokers. [1]

Only 28% of cannabis users (note: not smokers, users) are daily users. 42% are daily or near-daily users. [2]

Cigarette smokers are 5 times more likely to be daily cannabis users. [3]

Most cannabis users don't use it daily. An overwhelming majority of cigarette smokers smoke (both tobacco and cannabis) daily. There's no comparison.

I'm very sorry for your struggles. They're not typical. I know that's cold comfort for you.

There's a couple of problems with the theory.

First, the reason inkjet printers use color ink for monochrome documents is pretty well known. While there is no doubt a degree of "profit optimization," there's a printing benefit to doing so. Most inkjet printers, because of the properties of the ink used, cannot produce very good blacks with only their black ink. It's standard to use some magenta and blue to 'deepen' the black which produces a subjectively better result. On many printers you can toggle this off, either on the printer or in the print driver. But, and here's where the profit optimization comes back, on a lot of cheaper printers especially you can't (although this might have more to do with the general lack of configurability of inexpensive printers). This technique is unnecessary for laser printers because of their different properties (toner is an opaque material bonded to the surface of the paper; ink is a liquid with a degree of transparency that is absorbed by the paper).

There's also an argument made by inkjet manufacturers that cycling the color cartridge is important to keeping the print head ready for use, although I don't think it's really that big of a motive since with some firmware work they could just run the cleaning cycle on the color cartridge for each print job (although, once again, a lot of this comes down to cheap printers being built around commodity controllers with very little configurability or intelligence in general).

Second, MIC-type dot markings are associated only with laser printers. The concept was developed within the laser printer industry and does not work as well on inkjets due to the higher level of bleed and poorer halftoning of very faint colors. I am not aware of any inkjet printers that print these types of dots; I would not be surprised to learn that there are a handful (particularly in the higher-end photographic market) but it's certainly not common. The EFF, for example, says that no inkjet printers do so. There's probably not much value to printing tracking dots anyway, because inkjet output is usually more obviously different from offset printing than laser (poorer color saturation and density), which makes inkjets unappealing for counterfeiting. There are, of course, a whole different class of "giclee" printers with excellent output quality (is HP Indigo still king?) but they're specialty devices and tracking dots only appear on consumer and office equipment.

Generally, we'll use the API provider's defaults.

For models we run ourselves from the weights, at the moment we'd use vLLM's defaults, but this may warrant more thought and adjustment. Other things being equal, I prefer to use an AI lab's API, with settings as vanilla as possible, so that we essentially defer to them on these judgments. For example, this is why we ran this Mistral model from Mistral's API instead of from the weights.

I believe the `temperature` parameter, for example, has different implementations across architectures/models, so it's not as simple as picking a single temperature number for all models.

However, I'm curious if you have further thoughts on how we should approach this.

By the way, in the log viewer UI, for any model call, you can click on the "API" button to see the payloads that were sent. In this case, you can see that we do not send any values to Mistral for `top_p`, `temperature`, etc.
The debacle [1] that caused this to be on everyone's radar initial has me hoping that there will be a group formed that audits open source software for maliciousness.

I agree it's good we have archives of all the sensible takes on deporting criminals with due process and not mass rounding up people based on skin color or last name at a very high expense to the taxpayers with poor results.

It's virtually impossible to not hand over data now. I'd say at this point it's more likely that any attempt to draw less attention actually has the opposite effect in reality.

The reality is that many datasets include stuff that has been absolutely stolen or haphazardly stored online, stuff like emails, texts, conversations, our credit histories, really any information about people that exists in a large quantity has already made its way into these LLMs one way or another.

An AI trained solely/additionally on specific datasets, with the intent of predicting human behavior exactly, should yield successful and highly accurate predictions from rather general demographic data combined with an individuals location history/current their location, plus really any third substantial thing - could be browsing history, or purchases, activity on social media, that should be all that's necessary to rather accurately put everyone into a box.

The most frustrating thing is that there is a box for the people that refuse to be put into a box.
