I don't know, but let's do a thought experiment.

North Vietnam had 13 mil people, South Vietnam 17m. Afghanistan had 20m people at the time of invasion.

These were undeveloped countries with very low human capital. Their militaries did not hold up. And yet - how did it all turn out for the US?

Canada has 40m people, terrain ideally suited to guerilla warfare, a huge land border with the US, and a population that is not only indistinguishable from American civilians, but also enjoys much wider popular support in the US than the Vietnamese ever did.

It would be extremely foolish to think you could simply invade such a place at all, nevermind easily.
AFAIK, the possession of AI-generated (and non-AI-generated) content depicting various other illegal things is legal, so this doesn't seem too surprising. After all, mass media constantly contains fictional murder, drug use, etc.
Because if you haven’t auto-formatted, lined, etc. then it’s a very easy way to do that so you don’t waste time watching CI fail for something stupid like trailing comma placement.

I don’t want to think about formatting, I just want everything to be consistent. A pre commit hook can run those tools for me, and if any changes occurred, it can add them to the commit.
Beyond that are the actual search results. The top ones are the same as in References section of quick answer, but the order is different: [6] [7] [3] [5] [1] [8] [9] [4] [2].

It should be noted that individual search results on Kagi are likely to be skewed depending on the user because it gives you so many dials to score specific domains up or down. E.g. my setup gives a boost to Reddit while downscoring Quora and outright blocking Instagram and Pinterest.
It is mind bending, but well understood (just not by me): we measure oxygen in distant galaxies using spectroscopy to identify specific emission lines in the galaxy's light, especially in the infrared spectrum.
I agree with your sentiment.

I'm a designer but 80% of the time I implement user interfaces. I have to say that the worst user interface code comes from traditionally educated computer science people... it's almost always a huge pile of shit with layer upon layer of useless abstraction.

I think you're right... no one has it figured out, it's all a mess.

This is bad. The Mere-Exposure Effect can increase the number of victims as AI CSAM can act as a gateway drug so to speak.

This is the justification for keeping the ban on legally culled elephants. Yes, a percentage of elephants are legally hunted to control population and fund national parks, but you cannot import that ivory because the thinking is it will create a market and that market will quickly turn to pouching.
Is it true, I have heard, that ACARS messages are like as expensive as sending data to Hubble, and airlines hate how expensive it is (hence it is not a viable method of transmitting more volumes of more desired data, like position data, regularly etc.) but have no great alternative that they can develop to replace it?
This is one of the reasons why Kagi is so good - you can easily set it up to downrank cesspits like ExpertsExchange or Quora into oblivion.

I am not going to say the author's entire journey was a waste of time. I do not believe any knowledge is a waste. However, why would someone fly from NYC to Mexico to learn about survival? There is a gigantic difference between summers in Xcalak, Mexico and winters in New York.

Gitlab's search just sucks..
That's how I use it as well! It'll also occasionally hallucinate things, but much less often than other AI tools I've tried. But typically I'll just run things by it that I'm question myself about, or if I want to solidify a concept I'll ask it if my understanding is correct.

It's also fun to ask the same question to multiple AI tools and see how the answers differ. Usually Claude is the most accurate and helpful, though.
Just because doctors have internalized the propaganda that they need to work that hard doesn't make it true or correct.

People who take senior roles are paid for the things they are accountable for. They don't have to do 80 hours in front of a screen, they need to drive outcomes and be accountable.

Worst part of GitHub Actions? Its encouragement of the total misuse of containers as what have essentially become installer scripts - complete with all the flakiness you'd imagine.

> Making $80k a year is a GREAT salary. That’s going to invoke a hearty yawn from many when comparing to dev salaries.

I'd like to draw a distinction here:

$80k is very good, by the standards of what most people can get.

$80k is middling-to-poor compared to how fast the cost of living is going up. Housing prices are skyrocketing, people have no savings, can't afford emergencies.

The economy is leaving people behind. In my area, SWE pay moves closer to "normal difficulty" every year, while everyone else moves to "hard".

Consistent educational standards leads to a common shared understanding of what knowledge and training your engineering colleagues have. This also makes it easier right off the bat for an employer to know what a "junior" engineer is - and leads to more consistent experience levels afterwards.

And you didn't quite mix it up, a degree from an ABET accredited school is required to get your professional engineering certification, which is often required in cases where engineering designs carry legal liability.
You need to give my comment a very negative reading to come up with that answer.

I'm afraid you've thought more about react-router than the maintainers about the people using it.

I feel like the tradeoff has historically been between smaller, more composable libraries with more breaking changes and larger, more feature-filled libraries that move more slowly and care about their users.

react-router is the epitome of choosing the worst of both worlds with a healthy dose of disdain for their users.

How does it harm the children whose images it was trained on?

Maybe if it substantially recreates the input images it is equivalent to plain copying and redistribution.

Maybe it creates an economic incentive to abuse more children to create more training data?

Hi Jeff. This is awesome. Any plans to add word timestamps to the new speech-to-text models, though?

> Other parameters, such as timestamp_granularities, require verbose_json output and are therefore only available when using whisper-1.

Word timestamps are insanely useful for large calls with interruptions (e.g. multi-party debate/Twitter spaces), allowing transcript lines to be further split post-transcription on semantic boundaries rather than crude VAD-detected silence. Without timestamps it’s near-impossible to make intelligible two paragraphs from Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 with both interrupting each other without aggressively partitioning source audio pre-transcription—which severely degrades transcript quality, increases hallucination frequency and still doesn’t get the same quality as word timestamps. :)
> Another source familiar with the case told AFP that American authorities said the French researcher had been denied entry because of "hateful and conspiracy messages."

France itself bans hate-speech [1], so wouldn't they consider this denial of entry justified? Of course, maybe the messages didn't rise to that level - we don't know, because this article, like all the others so far, omits the actual messages in question.

It's unequivocally not. What usecase do you have that QwQ-32 is outperforming Gemma3? In real world uses I didn't even prefer it to Gemma 2.
>In the sense that no real subject is being harmed, this makes sense.

I don't like this logic for the legality of AI images because we wouldn't allow it with non-AI images. For example, should CSAM be legal if the person in the image and all their family is dead? There is "no real subject" around to be harmed anymore, so by this logic it should be legal. But we don't make this stuff illegal just because of the people harmed in creation or distribution. We make it illegal because most of us don't want to live in a society that tolerates it.
Have they talked about putting more limits on student loans? If there's something that I would like to see debated it would be this, but otherwise this just seems like moving things around.

Having read the docs - used chat gpt to summarize them - there is no mention of speaker diarization for these models.

This is a _very_ low hanging fruit anyone with a couple of dgx h100 servers can solve in a month and is a real world problem that needs solving.

Right now _no_ tools on the market - paid or otherwise - can solve this with better than 60% accuracy. One killer feature for decision makers is the ability to chat with meetings to figure out who promised what, when and why. Without speaker diarization this only reliably works for remote meetings where you assume each audio stream is a separate person.

In short: please give us a diarization model. It's not that hard - I've done it one for a board of 5, with a 4090 over a weekend.
You know well that contemporary conservatives call contemporary liberals, 'Marxists' (without knowing what they are talking about).

> There are, of course, economists and philosophers who consider themselves Marxists and who take him seriously.

We agree.
Your point is terrible though. How many people live in Kenora? 15,000? There's not a highway of trucks that are backed up from Kenora, anything that needs to be transported to Winnipeg will come from the West coast, and anything to Toronto will come straight down the St.Lawrence.

I don't think this rings true anymore for a lot of people, even those with "good experience."

I remember the first time I encountered a Windows machine you had to log in to to use (1996). At my first job, I had write access to all the system directories on the corporate VAX machine. I could have easily taken down a major corporation through a careless mistake (but fortunately, never did).

SpatialLM: Large Language Model for Spatial Understanding
Forgive me if this is an overly-simplistic question – I'm a student, so there is a lot I don't know and this seems to be a complex topic, but I ask this in good faith: if the people that are members of the union are happy with it, what negative outcome is produced so as to make the union a bad solution?

From what I understand, the basic purpose of a union is to give its members more collective negotiating power with the employer. Its purpose isn't to better serve the company, necessarily, but to give the employees a more effective means of having their needs met – if employees feel these needs aren't being met, negotiating and making an agreement collectively could be a more effective route. Its job is to change the power dynamic between employees and companies, in favor of the employees. If this is the case, and the NYTimes tech staff who are union members like the outcome unionizing has had, then how is it a bad solution? What would be a better alternative of meeting the employees' needs?

I recognize my understanding is probably incomplete; I write this comment not to defend this position on unions, but to learn why it may be wrong.

Been a resident of Mexico for nearly 20 years now, and no, coca cola is emphatically not cheaper than drinking water. This nonsense myth needs to die.
Even the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO), which is a watchdog on federal spending, thinks that Ottawa promised to do that amount of spending:

> In 2006, NATO member nations set a policy goal to allocate at least 2% of their GDP to annual defence spending. While some countries, most notably the United States, exceeded this target, the majority fell short. After eight years of limited progress, NATO members reaffirmed their commitment to this goal in 2014. Since this time, Canada has consistently remained below the 2% threshold, and as of 2024, it is one of only eight member nations still failing to meet the target, with projected defence expenditures totaling only 1.37% of GDP.

* https://www.pbo-dpb.ca/en/publications/RP-2425-020-S--fiscal...

2014 was simply was a repetition of what was said in 2006. But:

> The alliance members accepted to continue to spend a minimum of two percent of individual national Gross Domestic Product on defence, or where a country is currently spending less than two percent, then to move towards spending two percent of Gross Domestic Product on defence within the next ten years.

* https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/corpora...

It's been ten years now, and Canada has not hit two percent even if you take 2014 as the starting point.

(And I'm aware of all the procurement programs that have been announced.)
Sure they can. Imagine the unions that make it hard to fire people - either because of individual performance, or because of downsizing.

1. Tech workers are currently treated well - good hours, good salary, great benefits, etc... (until they are fired / position is eliminated).

2. If unions appear which make firing people hard, companies would stop hiring in US, and switch to India or temp contractors.
There's a pretty big difference, a picture of a murder might be used as evidence but itself is not illegal.

I'd love to know if the conversational training set includes documents where the AI throws its hands up and goes "actually I have no idea". I'm guessing not.
It's reasonable for the content creator to see it differently, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect everyone around the content creator to contort any new approach to the needs of the pre-existing business model.
While it's true that these posts are political, our political climate is in a unique situation. You can no longer avoid politics, regardless of how much you hide. Even we, who are fairly wealthy techies, can no longer turn a blind eye.

Yes, it sucks that even the most mundane aspects of our lives are being fraught with political warfare. The current administration appears to have a desire to burn the world down.

I mean, look around you. Can we talk about EVs without being political? What about LLMs? What about the American tech industry? We used to be able to. It's no longer possible.
Usually when someone is arrested for this kind of thing it's not one image but a couple thousand so you are right.

Edit add:

I have mixed feeling about this...Let me preface by saying that child abuse is abhorrent.

One of my former coworkers was arrested for possession of CSAM...he was never charged or accused of any abuse. I wasn't close to him; he was quiet and went out of his way to help. He (probably)killed himself(young, died suddenly) last week ahead of his trial.

So I have to wonder would having something like this help him and protect kids as well? Or does possession lead to abuse?

I don't know...people have problems and are sick. At what point do we write them off as irredeemable?

> As a U.S. citizen my fear of being involved in gun violence on a day-to-day basis is zero.

As an Australian, my fear of being killed by the local fauna, flora or the country is near 0. Yes, the "common brown" is the worlds 3rd most venomous snake, and they are the snake I mostly see around my house, but I know where they live and their habits. Yes, the funnel web is a relatively common and very aggressive spider found in our backyards. It's also the world's deadliest spider (it killed one girl in 12 minutes). But everyone is hyper aware of them, and almost no one gets bitten. The surf on our magnificent beaches is deadly, but we are all taught to recognise rips and swim only in supervised areas.

So the reality is Australia is a very safe place, for Australians. Please visit. It's a blast.

In my quick experiment (asking a question that would naturally lead to content on my own site) it is not doing a real time request to the site in question. Its answer included links back to my site (and relevant summaries), but there was no requests for those pages while it was generating its answer. So it's clearly drawing from info that has already been scraped at some earlier point. And given that I see Claudebot routinely (and politely) crawling the site I'd guess it's working from it's own scraped copies (because why use someone else's if you've got your own....)
You described two different things: a psychological effect first, and then a market. The elephant example isn't mere-exposure.

Also, I'm not an expert on this but do we see more sensless killing by kids playing violent video games? This is usually the counter example to the exposure argument and I haven't seen it properly argued against.
how would that work? Maybe the current force is protected, but if there is no new US hires, then teams will slowly shift due to people retiring or leaving.

This seems like pointless hair splitting. AI-generated images could certainly depict child sexual abuse. I opted to stick with the headline as written rather than recast it to 'child porn', because I felt the phrase 'AI-generated' provided sufficient context for people to understand what the article was about.
