Hey all.

I am an amateur digital archivist among other hobbies. Not too long ago, I was gifted this VHS tape with a cool story behind it, so I could preserve it for the owner.

This VHS tape contained a commercial on it which the owner of the tape was cast in. We knew some rough information from his memory at the time, nearly 30 years ago, but we didn't exactly know what we had.

After posting the first attempt at a capture and gaining some attention, we were able to fill in the missing history of this tape. People on Facebook especially were very helpful in continuing tracking down the source of this tape.

In the end we discovered we had the source of a lost E3 1999 promotion as well as what would have been shown in Toys R Us at Nintendo kiosks.

It's a cool story, hope you enjoy, and please, preserve media!

Lawyers are paid very well to present the best case possible for their client, you can't honestly believe that every detail of the events are going to be submitted as evidence, right?

How do you distinguish between propaganda and a lawyer arguing a political policy on behalf of the president of the united states, with the understanding that a lawyer should make the most compelling case they possibly can? Its political, its a one-sided view, its cherry picked, and its meant to persuade the target audience to believe a certain point - that sounds pretty propagandistic to me.
Isn't the training data a moat by itself?

Due to sneaky website scraping by OpenAI many sites now have their content locked behind login, have their APIs severely restricted and watchout for scraping.

Unless you want to build a specialized AI built on specific open or closed training corpus, huge training data is required to build something similar to OpenAI's models.

Google with it's crawlers and associated relaxations should not be affected much by those restrictions.

Miscrosoft can easily update its browser/OS ToS and say "we'll use all your browsing data for training, anonymously ofcourse" and there's not much users will do except shrug.

Is there anyone else who is better positioned to collect the content for training or am I placing too much importance on training data?
It's easy to replace two kinds of functions.

One is thoroughly specified and covered by extensive input-output pair test-cases.

The other is completely unspecified, and not possible to pin down with test cases due to constantly churning. (The users quickly learned not to rely on any specific outputs, so the churn doesn't break anyone.)

Everything in between is hard to replace to varying degrees, because it's reliable enough that users can depend on specific behaviors, yet what users dare rely on is not always obvious from specification or covered with tests.
It’s hard to take someone like you seriously when you look at that page and single out a set of the work, which requires you to ignore the papers that include or are mostly Disney researchers.
I hear you, but during my testing I’ve been driving like a grandma , and I usually drive tame enough to exceed Gas EPA estimates by 15%, so I was really shocked to have terrible EV range. In my 270 mile test I was under 60 for 85% of the trip, and never over 75
The claim that "empathy" is driving Western civilization to ruin is highly dubious and presented without evidence.

In contrast, we know that lack of empathy directly leads to atrocities:

> In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trails 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy. —Captain G. M. Gilbert

The root cause of cancer is aging. Cancer incidence increases exponentially with age, suggesting that cellular breakdown and weakened immune surveillance are the primary drivers. While environmental factors play a role, they are secondary. Consider the extremely low incidence of cancer in individuals under 40.

I still think about how he tried to cure cancer with crystals and then when that didn’t work he used his wealth to get residency in a different state to jump in line for a transplant and still died before his yacht got completed. I don’t misunderstand him at all. Especially the parking in handicap spaces part. Very easy to understand what kind of person he was through his actions. Perhaps we will never see eye to eye, and I feel posts like yours do deserve legitimate opposition as applicable.
Sure, both tools are great options to have in your toolbox. My bigger issue was with the claim that you can't build an application bigger than arbitrary size X without an ORM, which is empirically untrue.

I will say that there are queries that take 2-3 minutes to write in SQL where you have to bang your head into the wall to make the problem fit into an ORM-shaped box. (and vice versa)

A bigger problem are developers who haven't never truly learned to write SQL (outside of a few basic statements; akin to a React developer who never really learned Javascript)

What happens to the tech world if it turns out that LLMs really are the 20-billion dollar product category that every industry needs to explore to maintain competitiveness but they will never be the 500-billion dollar product category that changes the world?

You still have a huge build-up and a bust? Earlier real products, from railroads to the Internet, have followed this pattern.

Even more, AI has a plausible-sounding argument for being a 500b product or even $infinity dollars. I don't think it's correct with current tech but it's wrongness rests on subtle things. People who seem at least as smart as Gary Marcus (AI critic) seem honestly convinced this AI generation of is going to create AGI. An investor who doesn't know who's right is going to want to cover their bets.
The speeches tonight by Chrétien and Carney were quite powerful and succinct. There were a lot of gems in there that will likely go viral on US and Canada news networks.

But what struck me the most from the speeches was the strong sense of certainty that Carney is the right person to take Canada into the next decade.

Are you sure about that? If you go only uphill in a gas car you will use a lot more fuel per km, just like an EV.

When I get to 50, I will still need some sort of job. Maybe I can get a lower paying or low stress job. That's me being in the industry for my entire career, good credentials, etc. I will have been making somewhat less than the national developer median (about $130k is median). I live in a moderately high cost area. Even the people that live in high cost areas making 2x my salary have significant tax and real estate burdens. Not everyone can FIRE, especially if you're below the median.
> and terrible where the problem has not been tackled much by the public

Very much so (I should have added this as a downside in the original comment). Before I even ask a question I ask myself "does it have training data on this?". Also, having a bad answer is only one failure mode. More commonly, I find that it drifts towards the "center of gravity", i.e. the mainstream or most popular school of thought, which is like talking to someone with a strong status-quo bias. However, before you've familiarized yourself with a new domain, the "current state of things" is a pretty good bargain to learn fast, at least for my brain.
They don't do it now. They would do it if a new organized boycott popped up because that's what they were invented to do. Plus Trump will surely utilize it if he ever feels the desire
He has still committed crimes by illegally occupying parts of the university.

I don't think batteries degrade that much that fast. I would imagine it's akin to gas cars, where you lose about 10% or so in efficiency after you put on a lot of miles, like 100k. (My EV6 seems to be as efficient as when I bought it in 2022, but my driving style is all over the place, so it's hard to measure from one charge to the next if I'm feeling a bit spirited in my driving that day)
Let me see if I understand the situation you're describing clearly. It seems like you're saying that all or most young people will be able to -- and be inclined to -- use VPNs to visit porn sites, and will do so.

They won't be able to visit porn sites in their own jurisdiction -- let us call it jurisdiction J -- because those sites have to perform age verification, but they will be able to visit porn sites in other jurisdictions, since they can send traffic that appears to originate in those jurisdictions. Those porn sites are not in J and so don't have to enforce J's rules.

When I think about this situation, though, it just seems like it would lead lawmakers to require VPN sites to perform age verification.

Chess puzzles work quite accurately IME to assess my mental capabilities for the day. Especially the puzzle storm on lichess. There are enough puzzles there to not repeat themselves too often and they are rated so they have similar difficulty for the same rating. In my good days (lots of sleep in previous nights) I have way better scores than on my bad days (30-40% better)
5% to 7% is pretty normal for me - in both summer and winter. This is just leaving the car in front of my house for a few hours (let's say I don't want to park it in the separate garage).

It's not the end of the world for driving around town with less than my whole family (which is 90% of my driving) but it's definitely annoying to come back to a car with 50% charge and see it with 43. I imagine it would be terrifying for a 20 -> 13, especially with the lack of supercharging infrastructure where I live (Calgary).
Regarding "Not only is enforcement practical...", I'm not sure enforcement is all that practical for this offense -- my understanding is that most instances of it are never caught and never charged.
> Here he monitors the gross violations of the Quiet Zone and also looks at the local environment: powerline noise, illegal use of radios, etc.
For example, at the time of my visit there, the amateur radio bands were being used improperly by a group of people and the signal was strong enough to overload the 140-foot telescope, so it became a serious problem... The likely action taken will be that he calls the FCC in to enforce the rules in place. After 20 years on the job, Wesley has built up a network of contacts he can call upon when he needs help. One of those contacts is the man in charge of the Enforcement Bureau at the FCC, whom Wesley knew when he was still a satellite technician.

Always interesting to hear examples how effective coordination often comes down to networks of people-connections that get built up over time. Software folk often think it's simply automating whatever process -- I certainly thought that early on -- but more and more I'm seeing it's about knowing the person in the right role with the right experience. Your personal network is leverage.

The last two sections about helping out a grumpy farmer with an old burned out amplifier and coordinating secret fly-overs with the Cheyenne Mountain guys are also great people-network stories.

> Corporations have been attacking the GPL for decades... So your take on the corporate part is rather disingenuous and ignores much of recent history.

Corporations do not like the GPL on its merits, but it's also worth remembering that the GPL is also not that popular compared to MIT among developers. Developers have not been choosing the GPL for new projects.

It says a lot about the state of discourse and gender science that I can't tell if you genuinely don't understand or if you are being facetious.

But assuming you are being genuine: your sex (faka gender) is encoded in your DNA on the 23rd chromosomal pair. If you have two X chromosomes (XX), you are a female human (woman). If you have one X and one Y (XY), you are male human (man). These chromosomes dictate your sexual development (organs/hormones/etc). There are some people (estimated at 1-2% of the human population) who are "intersex", in that they don't have an XX or XY pair, but some variation thereof (XXY, XYY, etc). However even these variations generally fall under one or the other umbrella of male or female. e.g. Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) is generally going to present as male (albeit frequently with poorly developed testicles and other complications). Genes are complicated so this is a bit of an oversimplification.

To make this more about sex itself (since humans are a sexually reproducing species and that is why we are having this conversation at all), there are effectively three options for all humans: you produce small gametes (sperm / male) or you produce large gametes (eggs / female), or you produce neither due to some complication and therefore cannot participate in procreation. This is dictated almost wholly by your DNA.

So, back to the article: they know the DNA in the deer tooth was from a woman because (presumably) the 23rd chromosome was an XX pair.
Biden and harris didn't do anything to stop inflation? They passed multiple bills explicitly targeting it.You do know we are handling inflation better than others specifically because Biden focused on it right?
I agree, it's far more the 'training data' than the model architecture.

Given that Windows 11 is such a surveillance/advertisement machine I'm sure they sit on years of user movements MS can use to build a OS-running AI, similar to what Anthropic has been trying with 'computer use'. That's where I see Microsoft's niche in the future, and it's an enormous niche: how many people do 'data entry' as a full-time job who'd be unemployed once an LLM can move data from random sources into an Excel sheet by operating a simulated computer?
It's a shame we don't better contain all the EM noise emanating from our modern vehicles.

I'm dealing with this issue right now on my boat (EM noise from hydraulic trim pump for the drive leg is coupling to a power supply line running to a more sensitive electronic component).
Companies like Uber live off solely from the "we have a large war chest of money to kill competition" moat model where any competition in some area can be killed easily as long as you are much larger than them and can afford to lose money in the area they are active in: just offer lower prices until they are bankrupt, then raise them again.

This model has proven to work in places like retail. Literally how Amazon got big.

I think they are trying to use this strategy for AI as well, but at least right now there is so much competition and investment that it's tough to pull off.
>These things have to do with whether democracies follow the rule of law. Civic freedoms tend to go away when democracies become authoritarian regimes.

Nobody complained when Woodrow Wilson and FDR destroyed the rule of law to remake the federal government. Do you understand that what the progress movement stands for is fundamentally at odds with the constitution, which has for some time only been the de-jure rule of law?

Oh; so the camera LED and camera data path would run a remote attestation protocol with the exclave, and the exclave would make sure the led is on whenever it’s forwarding on data from the camera?

(Though I’m not convinced that will actually work on modern apple devices, where the led is pixels that run through the compositor — I guess the video driver stack and window managers are also exclaves in this world?)

All of the other security properties, including the protection of page tables, are present across all supported platforms.

It doesn't say macOS doesn't use SPTM. It says macOS doesn't use SPTM to prevent running unsigned code, since macOS is supposed to allow unsigned code (after the user jumps through some hoops).

Well, almost. The 5.9L fails safe: there is a fuel shutoff solenoid which operates in reverse: you give it power to keep the fuel flowing. You’d need to modify it to force the solenoid open (or remove it).

The OM617 (as used in many 1980’s Mercedes sedans) fuel shutoff operated on vacuum, and once started, the engine would run with no electrical system at all.
"Germany has always taken the cheapest possible military option "

Not in my understanding. Rather germany always went for the specialized and therefore expensive version (Goldrandlösung) of anything. But sure, parliament says, we are in peace, we don't need so many of those expensive toys. So they rather buyed only limited numbers and created another buerocratic controll gremium.

France could afford a nuclear programm and an aircraft carrier with an equal budget.

So yeah, there are many factors to blame, but I don't think it was because of too little money. Rather too much money with no one sane checking, if it serves really the purpose of defending the country.
