> if there are no restrictions on immigration

But there are. I'm not aware that even the most pro-"share the love" party thinks we can unilaterally make the decision to let just anybody into Schengen (the EU-related freedom of movement area), or that it would be a good thing if they could. The problem is that the fascist parties want to deny people entry, and evict people who built lives here, who can prove that they fear for their life in the country of origin (such as war refugees), which seems inhumane to me and the european convention on human rights iirc aligns with that as well. It's not something you can just stop doing under national or european law, but by framing it in the right way they create a boogeyman where it's not mainly war refugees but religious terrorists and gold diggers coming into the country

> "What is the maximum number of <insert minority group> we want to have in our country?" If even asking this question is a taboo

That is not taboo. This topic is discussed by every party, of course, and a topic of negotiations between European countries ("will you take this many then we will do this other thing"). The taboo is discrimination, verbal in this case. It harms minorities for no benefit and that's why that is illegal per (what I think is in English called) the constitution ("grondwet")

To me it feels like you're approaching this from a forced neural point of view. That feels very odd to say, because of course neutrality and objectivity is good; not sure I'm expressing this right. Maybe it's like... feels like searching for a way to frame it as neutral no matter how extreme (inhumane, uncommon) it really is to say that you would close the door on someone who shows up at your doorstep in mortal peril. No human would do that if personally faced with that choice. The inflammatory statement I gave as example is meant to rile people up against a minority group and gain votes, it's not aimed at starting a rational discussion because that has already been ongoing since time immemorial
How can I trust anything now? I recently asked ChatGPT if learning multiple languages could slow dementia, and now I realized there’s no way to know the answer to this even if I confirm it isn’t hallucinating.
I think the biggest advantage of wasm in terms of security is that it doesn't accept machine language written in the target machine, only in this artificial machine language. This means that it cannot encode arbitrary code that could be executed by the host machine. Everything it runs has necessarily to go through the wasm interpreter.

Maybe they'll replace ACH with Tether. It would suck to extract even more public wealth to oligarchs, but no tears will be shed for ACH.

Zoom out.

If the goal is to stop cooperating with other nations to remove any restraint on oligarchs, imposing punitive tariffs on your closest allies makes perfect sense. So does trashing all multilateral institutions from the UN to NATO, the EU to the World Health Organization.

You know that other nations will fight back so just as in conventional warfare, you reserve an unconventional capability.

The nuclear option in trade war is to renege on your debts. Congress probably wouldn't go along with selective default on Treasury bonds, but if your engineers control the Treasury payment system, you have fine-grained control of who gets their interest and principal repaid and who doesn't. Declare an emergency and wage economic war.

Sure, interest rates will skyrocket and the dollar will devalue, but that's what you want, right? A lower dollar helps you win the trade war and you can blame the "terrorist" countries for it instead of taking any responsibility for breaking the financial system.

Disaster capitalism at its most exquisite.
There is a set of specific APIs you have to simulate to trick apps like this. On “real” Android, such simulation is done with things like Magisk modules (which mock certain things) or microG (which reimplementats Google services as a whole). The Wine-like approach used in ATL is certainly more straightforward for simulating APIs, but it’s still needs to be reimplemented specifically for ATL. Waydroid, on the other hand, can probably reuse Magisk or microG, since it’s running a whole Android setup.

A Comprehensive Survey of the Lean 4 Theorem Prover
Seeing Software: Why we need to be choosers rather than users
Can we please stop giving more power to these oligarchs? Do us all a favor and stick to bluesky.
So the problem with a survey like this is that it does not break out among the scenarios I listed:

1) Rural, minimal police, minimal government, large plots, no collective security.

2) Dense, urban, heavy policy, significant government, right housing, extensive collective security.

Indeed, it focuses on the latter. Virtually all of the addresses, photos, and stories talk about cities, or at least towns.

I don't want to over-post so I'll answer the other comments too:

1) Violence does not require more than "very few humans" to "like committing violence." The point of security isn't to protect against the typical individual but the violent outlier.

2) Most violent individuals aren't sophisticated. What's more, one instance of violence has little impact. Serial violence does. If an individual robs one house, that's not enough to live off of. If an individuals robs houses regularly, in an area with guns, they will be shot. That's a pretty good deterrent.

For gun safety to move forward, both sides need to understand each other, and everyone needs to address the major issues of gun advocates, such as:

1) Day-to-day safety (on the scale / in the settings I described)

2) National safety (if Jan 6th had worked, and we had a coup; if China invaded; etc.)

3) Rule-of-law (we do have a 2nd amendment, and changing that would require an amendment)

Otherwise, it's simply a push of more guns versus less guns, with idiotic laws being shoved through opportunistically on both sides.
Why can't they have better app moderation for apps going in in the first place? Prevention rather than cure? It almost feels like this is a mislead after they screwed up in the first place.
Better yet, don't use Electron.
I guess what I'm probably not seeing from my vantage point is that translating into a better experience with the tools available. I just cancelled a ChatGPT plus subscription because it just didn't seem useful enough to justify the price. I absolutely understand that there are people for whom it is, but nearly everyone I see that talks a lot about the value of AI either has use cases that I don't care about such as automated "content" generation or high-volume lowish-skill code generation, or they see achieving a progressively more difficult set of benchmarks as a useful end in itself. I like copilot autocomplete when I'm coding, but the quality of that hasn't dramatically changed. I don't give a damn about benchmarks-- I only care what I get from it practically. I have absolutely no interest in using ChatGPT as a therapist or companion because I value human connection and have access to it. So far I simply don't see significant changes in what comes out vs what gets typed in for practical usage. I wouldn't give ChatGPT logic problems to solve except maybe for generating code because I know code well enough to quickly evaluate its output. If the caveat is "hey FYI this thing might hide some frustratingly plausible looking bullshit in the answer so double-check its work," then what good is it really for hard problems if you just have to re-do them anyway?

The same thing is true with image generation. Sure, it's better in ways that are sort-of meaningful for low-value professional or hobby usage, but it's barely budged the barriers to becoming good enough for high-end media production.

I totally believe that this technology is improving and when you're looking at it in isolation, those improvements seem meaningful. But I just don't see that yet translating into things most of the general public can sink their teeth into. With things like the (still) shitty google search "enhancements", and users being forced into AI-driven chat workflows or having big loud not-really-useful UI elements dedicated to AI features, in some ways they've made people's experience using computers meaningfully worse.

Just like with Mastodon, I see a huge disconnect with the tech crowd's excitement with what's happening with the technology, and how that ends up working for users that need to actually solve their problems with that technology.

Why? If all standard functions that take no ownership/keep references are using raw pointers then it behaves same as user code/C++ devs expect: if a function is taking a pointer then it claims no ownership. You take a look at standard_function(T*) and see raw pointer and then can assume it is not taking ownership or keeping references
Exactly what i thought too.

Right now, for 10 years at least, with targeted advertising, it has been completely normalised and typical to use machine learning to intentionally subliminally manipulate people. I was taught less than 10 years at a top university that machine learning was classified as AI.

It raises many questions. Is it covered by this legislation? Other comments make it sound like they created an exception, so it is not. But then I have to ask, why make such an exception? What is the spirit and intention of the law? How does it make sense to create such an exception? Isn't the truth that the current behaviour of the advertising industry is unacceptable but it's too inconvenient to try to deal with that problem?

Placing the line between acceptable tech and "AI" is going to be completely arbitrary and industry will intentionally make their tech tread on that line.
The title is wrong; prevention is what they do. The actual quote from the article is:

> language models aren’t large enough to actually know everything

I'd say they don't know anything.

An LLM base model, before it is post-trained with RL, just has access to a sliced and diced corpus of human output. Take the contents of 4chan and WikiPedia, put in blender and mix and chop into "training sample" sized bites, then learn the statistical regularities of this blended mess. It is what it is - not exactly what I'd call a knowledge base, even though there are bits of knowledge in there.

When you add RL-based post-training for reasoning, all you are doing is trying get the model to be more selective when you are sampling from it - encouraging it to suppress some statistics, and emphazise others, such that when you sample from it the output looks more like valid reasoning steps and/or conclusions, per the verified reasoning examples you train it on.

I'm well aware of how useful RL-tuned models (whatever the goal) can be, but at the end of the day all they are doing is taking a statistical babbler and saying "try to output patterns more like this". It's not exactly a recipe for factuality or rationality - we've just gone from hallucination-prone base models, to gaslighting-prone RL-tuned "reasoning" models that output stuff that sounds like coherent reasoning.

What missing from all of this - what makes it different from how animals learn - it that the model has no experience of it's own, no autonomy or motivation to explore, learn and verify, and hence no episodic memories of how it learnt something (tried it and ran controlled experiments, or just overheard it on the bus), and what that implies about it's trustworthiness.

It's amazing that LLMs work as well as they do, a reflection of how much of what we do can be accomplished by reactive pattern matching, but if you want to go beyond that to something that can learn and discern the truth for itself, this seems the wrong paradigm altogether.
Right? It reminds me of those game ads where they intentionally fuck up in an attempt to get you riled up.
How Russia launched a giant space mirror in 1993
Sure - such direct contradiction is rare - call out was the wrong phrase - that mostly only happens which people try and replicate extraordinary claims.

Much more common is another paper is published which has a different conclusion in the particular area of science which may or may not reference the original paper - ie the wrong stuff get's buried over time by the weight of other's findings.

You could say that part of the problem is correction is often incremental.

In the end the manipulation by Masliah et al came out - science tends to be incremental, rather than all big break-throughs and I'd say any system will struggle to deal with bad faith actors.

In terms of bad faith actors - you have two approaches - look at better ways to detect, and looking at the properties of the system that perhaps creates perverse incentives - but I always think it's a bad idea to focus too much on the bad actors - you risk creating more work for those who operate in good faith.
Fwiw, we touched in this topic in some of my linguistics classes. Even then (~7 years ago), the claim was that learning multiple languages _slowed the appearance of some symptoms_. We debated whether that was really the same as slowing the disease, or if it was just hiding the affects. It probably depends who you ask.

Hello, I'm currently employed full-time, but am seeking a remote position (full-time preferred). I have worked with most technologies, but am strongest in the JavaScript ecosystem. In my free time, I build things. Lots of things. Currently rebuilding the JavaScript Today website, as well as working on a local real estate platform (built in the MERN stack).

I would consider doing some contract work, of course, but have become quite selective in this regard lately.

I also really enjoy writing, so if you're looking for someone to do that on a contract basis, I'd love to hear what you need! (I have written for CompTIA, MakeUseOf, GoHighbrow, a coding bootcamp, and many others!)
Are you sure it's helped you learn?

In the early days of ChatGPT where it seemed like this fun new thing, I used it to "learn" C. I don't remember anything it told me, and none of the answers it gave me were anything that I couldn't find elsewhere in different forms - heck I could have flipped open Kernighan & Ritchie to the right page and got the answer.

I had a conversation with an AI/Bitcoin enthusiast recently. Maybe that already tells you everything you need to know about this person, but to the hammer the point home, they made a claim to similar to you: "I learn much more and much better with AI". They also said they "fact check" things it "tells" them. Some moments later they told me "Bitcoin has its roots in Occupy Wall Street".

A simple web search tells you that Bitcoin is conceived a full 2 years before Occupy. How can they be related?

It's a simple error that can be fact checked simply. It's a pretty innocuous falsity in this particular case - but how many more falsehoods have they collected? How do those falsehoods influence them on a day-by-day basis?

How many falsehoods influence you?

A very well meaning activist posted a "comprehensive" list of all the programs that were to be halted by the grants and loans freezes last week. Some of the entries on the list weren't real, or not related to the freeze. They revealed they used ChatGPT to help compile the list and then went down one-by-one to verify each one.

With such meticulous attention to detail, incorrect information still filtered through.

Are you sure you are learning?

The needed infrastructure, high capacity power lines from pumped hydro site (normally expensive ) also needs to be considered. When pumped hydro is used it needs to be recharged. The recharge time could be days or weeks. During this time its full capacity is obviously not available.

Also, It is often not costed into the cost of renewables, that Renewables need a new/upgraded high capacity network ( copper plate network ?? ) to transport large amounts power to wherever elsewhere in the country it is needed, due to renewables un reliability.
