Yeah, we saw this about a month ago, but I’m ready to be busy on the 1st. Maybe everything will be fine? Or maybe we see widespread internet troubles in the 1st? Party on! I’ll be letting my pager rest this weekend so it’s good and ready to go on Tuesday.
Sure, but also as an adult, you're expected to have learned some resilience to failure. You're expected to be able to be able to withstand some criticism and see negativity as a chance to improve.

I know it doesn't always work that way, but a lot of times our failures aren't just "on us", but affect others.
Wow. Flat out wrong and/or hallucinated for both DAW software and the original recommendations.

Maybe it's just down to different screen sizes, but when I open a new chat in chat GPT, the prompt is in the center of the screen, and the disclaimer is quite a distance away at the very bottom of the screen.

Though, my real point is we need to weigh that disclaimer, against the combined messaging and marketing efforts of the AI industry. No TV ad gives me that disclaimer.

Here's an Apple Intelligence ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0BXZhdDqZM. No disclaimer.

Here's a Meta AI ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2clcDZ-oapU. No disclaimer.

Then we can look at people's behavior. Look at the (surprisingly numerous) cases of lawyers getting taken to the woodshed by a judge for submitting filings to a court with chat GPT introduced fake citations! Or, someone like Ana Navarro confidentially repeating an incorrect fact, and when people pushed back saying "take it up with chat GPT" (https://x.com/ananavarro/status/1864049783637217423).

I just don't think the average person who isn't following this closely understands the disclaimer. Hell, they probably don't even really read it, because most people skip over reading most de-emphasized text in most-UIs.

So, in my opinion, whether it's right next to the text-box or not, the disclaimer simply cannot carry the same amount of cultural impact as the "other side of the ledger" that are making wild, unfounded claims to the public.
I laughed, but it kind of makes sense. If you are looking for a hyperfast scale-up and exit, you do not care one bit about the quality of the code.

It's a fun experiment how large you can grow an AI system before it falls apart because nobody knows how it works and it's too complex for the AI to grasp, but I imagine this breaking point will increase as AI gets better.

As a potential customer, this is like buying from a private equity owned business. You know you are buying a heap of shit, but hopefully it's cheap (for a while)
That isn't what I'm saying. I'm saying you can't make a blanket statement that LLMs in general aren't fit for some particular task. There are certainly tasks where no LLM is competent, but for others, some LLMs might be suitable while others are not. At least some level of detail beyond "they used an LLM" is required to know whether a) there was user error involved, or b) an inappropriate tool was chosen.
It’s a start. Better to start building something now than putting it off in hopes of some ideal scenario
You can build all the tools yourself, or you can just go to a "tools store", install it and use it. MCP is just the standard everyone can use to build, share and use these tools.

Just like an app store, a chrome extension store, we can have a LLM tools store.
Maybe Ladybird?
While technically correct, it also wasn’t possible to invade people’s privacy this discreetly at this scale.

It’s one thing for a subject of an active investigation to be tailed by a cop. It is an entirely different thing for the entire population of Roanoke to pass through what are essentially checkpoints logging your location a dozen or more times in a day.
Republicans are not trusted more on schools. You may trust them more after covid, but overall the claim does not seem to be valid. Also, republican plan is to dismantle public schooling and conservative plan is to move as much as possible toward homeschooling. Which has double advantage of keeping women at home.
Of course. In the same way that Stackoverflow has for years, or asking a coworker, or a teacher. Programming is much easier now because of all these resources, but that only means the job gets busier and ever more productivity is expected by fewer people doing the work.
You pay the million dollars, rent it at $3.5k/mo, get a 3.5% return from rent, and then let the market drive up the value of the place 6-7% a year.

You now have an investment returning a fairly steady ~10% annually, which matches the returns on some pretty bad junk bonds, however on paper your risk is much less. Or you could live in it and just get the 6-7% annual return, with even lower risk.

That's why the apartment costs $1M.
That was some nasty looking cream cheese.

Oh yeah and police surveillance something.
Insurance isn't a social contract, it's private business foisted upon you and enforced by the government. Isn't it bad enough that your taxes, which are a real social contract, go to pay government workers to ensure that you're purchasing the required private, for profit, service? Now we're building surveillance infrastructure for them.
Simply rebuilding software for limited distribution makes it more secure.
Demographic risk pooling makes sense for moderate-risk individuals (despite being ethically horrendous). But for extreme outliers like this, the insurance company has a very high expectation that they're going to lose money in the coming year if they offer a premium below 15-20k. It just doesn't make financial sense to do so. At least in the UK you're obliged to declare the last five years of accidents and claims when applying for insurance, and I'd be surprised if they're not looking out for red flags like this.
>And then simply reverted. (they didn't care)

Well, that's just you not empathizing with them. Chewing is not too different from walking. Imagine if someone told you they think your gait is too short, and could you take longer steps. How long would you be able to hold your affected gait before going back to your optimal gait?
And yet, if your car gets stolen thieves don't even bother putting fake/cloned plates on it most of the time - police could in theory look up where the car was last seen using ANPR but either they don't have the time or they don't actually have the ability.

>>Because of how effective this is for catching even fairly minor violations like failure to pay road tax

It's not really, I don't believe so anyway. Keep seeing posts from various police forces around the UK about so-and-so car being stopped, no tax since 2022 for instance. And I'm like....ok great, but how come it took you 3 years to find them??
Hmm, I read the title as 'nobody should be doing porn' (with which I disagree -- everybody should do whatever they want).

Because I thought 'content creator' was synonymous with 'onlyfans model'. I was then genuinely surprised by the content of the article and by calling 'content creator' a generic term.

I'm not sure -- is it an ambiguous title, or is my context way off?
Yes. As soon as the automated traffic enforcement purpose is done with (the car wasn't speeding/wasn't running a red/so on) the data should be deleted.

If the police reach the data before it's deleted after they know it may have evidence of a crime that's ok (realistically this is rare, but I can imagine it happening with paired cameras that measure speed over a long distance of road. You could also get lucky where a false positive image happened to capture a different crime), but we shouldn't be storing surveillance data that tracks everyone's movements on the off chance that it has evidence of a crime. The harm outweighs the use at that point.
I really like alternativeto. It's not always good: sometimes there are simply no good alternatives, or the community hasn't voted for the ones I'd have voted for and so a good option is way, way down. But if I want to know alternatives, I go there directly, so I guess that's maybe why people block it from appearing in random search results? I found it puzzling to see a useful site blocked (especially when I haven't seen it appear much in search results, but then, I've also been using DDG primarily, which ranks things rather differently)
Maybe they are just a clump of cells.
The article asserts it, yes, with not a single quantitative study actually supporting that. They have some tangentially related evidence around real estate and survey responses, and they assert - again, without direct evidence - that these are explained by corporate peacocking.
"Part of Flock’s proprietary tech determines the make and model of the vehicle and also notes if there are bumper stickers, bike racks, any other unique markings that would help identify that vehicle."

I have always avoided bumper stickers and custom license plates for more anonymity. I have a ham radio license and decided not to get a license plate with my callsign on it because people could easily Google that and find out my name and address. I had always just thought about other drivers in these cases, not law enforcment surveillance!
Social intelligence is how you capture all of the added value of a trade, leaving none for the other guy. But you have to generate value in the first place, otherwise you can use social intelligence only for theft.
I disagree. People often anthropomorphise animals and ascribe intelligence to actions that are clearly only instinctive.

And people ascribe intelligence to Eliza, a 200-line Basic program.
Hugely agree with markdown.

99% of the time people want bullet points, headers, maybe a table or two. Using a word processor is very overkill and actually makes the simple stuff more arduous.

Markdown is the best too because:

1. Sending as plaintext is so convenient and it looks pretty decent

2. Most software (gitlab, jira, etc) accept markdown input so you can just copy-paste

I can't say I've ever had HDMI audio mystery-disabled when I try and use it, that's for sure a new one for me. That said the entire audio stack is an utter fucking nightmare. Selecting sound devices usually works, unless the game/software you're using either isn't set up to know about it, or isn't being told by Windows, either or. Then of course there's the fun game you play having two HDMI displays where Windows will constantly re-enable one you've disabled because it doesn't have any fucking speakers on it.
What paper trail? All they can log is the IP address that made the query, and that's not enough to do anything with.

The thing is that both ideas come from the same place. People try to create a save and livable place, but they have different opinions on how to get to that place. Some more right than others, but the fact is that both have their root in the same desires.

At the end of the day, most people just want to be able to live a life, work, have children, some friends, family and health. Most difference come from the way people think they best achieve those goals.
The TPMS requirement in the US is ratcheted. Once you have TPMS on a car, it needs to stay on the car even if you replace the wheels. It must not be disabled or removed, and it must be fixed if broken.

Obviously, it is easy to flout these regulations as an individual or as a small-time mechanic. But there can be penalties if tampering or negligence gets discovered, the most common of which is failing to pass inspection. When I bought wheels from Tire Rack online in 2015, I had to either pay extra to have them equipped with TPMS or else attest that my vehicle never had TPMS.

The real purpose has nothing to do with surveillance but with consumer and environmental protection. If you buy a used car with TPMS, you should be confident that it works. And keeping it working increases the chances that people will keep their tires filled and their fuel economy up.

However, a new problem has arisen, which is that gas stations don't bother to fix their broken air compressors anymore.

Only problem I see is this can also be gamed with "human" help. Say the candidate has an ear piece

If its for a high paying position I can see someone doing this for like ~$10k (contigent on them getting an offer) which is not bad for likely a few hours work.
Same here. And I am willing to pay just for this feature.

5G VoNR or 4G VoLTE is just so much better.
This should not be surprising to anyone who has a preschooler. They're also way better at problem-solving than most people expect, it's just that you often don't want them solving their "problems".

When my kid was 18 months old, we had gated him off from a playroom with a bunch of toys used by his older brother that were not baby-safe. We had a DoorMonkey [1] placed up high, about 5 feet tall, so that only adults could reach. My kid gets a chair from across the room, pushes it next to the door, climbs up on top of it, unlatches the DoorMonkey, pushes open the door, climbs down from the chair, enters the playroom, looks at me, and says "Bye!" At that moment my wife gets out of the bathroom, sees the tableau, says "____? What are you doing?" and my toddler says "Uh oh."

I think one difference between a hammer and an LLM is that hammers have existed since forever, so common sense is assumed to be there as to what their purpose is. For LLMs though, people are still discovering on a daily basis to what extent they can usefully apply them, so it's much easier to take such promises made by companies out of context if you are not knowledgeable/educated on LLMs and their limitations.

Utah Becomes First State to Ban Fluoride in Public Water
LLMs seem akin to parts of human cognition, maybe the initial fast thinking bit when ideas pop up in a second of two. But any human writing a review with links to sources would look them up and check the are they right ones that match the initial idea. Current LLMs don't seem to do that, at least the ones Sabine complains about.

Akin to human cognition but still a few bricks short of a load, as it were.
Like many tools, there is some user skill required. Certainly there are situations where AI assistants won’t help much, but if every single attempt you’ve made to use an AI coding assistant has been “useless”, you are either working in a very niche area or, perhaps more likely, it is user error on your own part.

There are plenty of people who are way too high on the current abilities of AI, but I find that the “AI is useless crowd” to be equally ridiculous.

It reminds me of early in my career working in statistics where the company I joined out of grad school was justifiably looking to move out of SAS and start working in R and Python. Many were enthusiastic about the change and quickly saw the benefit, but there were some who were too entrenched in their previous way of working, and insisted that there was no benefit to changing, they could do anything required in SAS, and stubbornly refused to entertain the idea that there was a benefit to be gained by learning a new skill.

You needn’t become an AI cultist. But with the number of people who are getting at least some benefit to using AI coding assistants, if you are finding it to be worthless in your personal experience, it may be worth stepping back and considering if there is something wrong with how you are trying to utilize it.

I think the prevailing usage for content creator generally includes YouTubers, podcasters, bloggers, etc.

One or the other, probably — Facebook were sufficiently invested in PHP that they released a whole new VM for the language. In Python, one would relatively commonly extract the performance-critical sections into C (or, nowadays, Rust) and you could do the same with Node too. Or the JIT might be fast enough that it's not worthwhile.
Get a PO box, change your Google address, cancel the PO box?

I liked the paper, and think what they’re doing is interesting. So, I’m less negative than you are about this, I think. To a certain extent, saying writing a full sentence with at least one good candidate rhyme isn’t “planning” and is instead “maintaining multiple candidates” seems like nearly semantic tautology to me.

That said, what you said made me think some follow-up reporting that would be interesting would be looking at the top 20 or so probability second lines based on adjusting the rabbit / green state. It seems to me like we’d get more insight into how the model is thinking, and it would be relatively easy to parse for humans. You could run through a bunch of completions until you get 20 different words as the terminal rhyme word, then show candidate lines with percentages of time the rhyme word is chosen as the sort, perhaps.
"eel", sorry.
The issue I'm seeing is that right now, you won't even be cashflow positive unless you can put 40-50% down on the construction costs.

That's a HUGE ask for someone to build an ADU! If you feel so strongly about it, why don't you just become a developer? The answer is obvious: capital. But that applies at every scale, and thus to a whole lot of those homeowners you're showing disdain for too.

People complain the rents in my area are too high. But the costs of the underlying real estate, maintenance, construction, and repairs are so high right now that it barely pencils out if at all. Most houses in the area were constructed in the 70's or the 90's and have not been well-maintained. So there's added costs of trying to bring old structures back up to snuff. New construction, even medium/high density stuff doesn't make sense unless you have 40-50% down or access to some ridiculously low interest loan.

Something has to give. Either prices need to come down on land, labor and construction materials, or rents need to go even higher.
The show's (or at least its protagonists') motivations change a lot over the years. As Finch's own motivations evolve, you can see him shift the blame from the government, to the people, to the machine itself.

There are some bouts of introspection, especially early on, which he uses as justification for installing the backdoor in the first place, but on the whole he's adamant that none of this is his fault.

That's probably exactly how it will play out in our world too, when a tech billionaire plugs a self-aware AI to our global surveillance network.
That's really hard to answer without tackling the classification question head on. Do you mean groups that "would have" been considered a domain if humans had been around at the time? Or groups that are in some sense different from other domains to the same degree those domains are from each other?

Whether we tag something as a domain also depends on its abundance and/or visibility. I bet if you take dug into microorganisms, you'd find tons that are as different from plants and animals as plants and animals are fun each other. But they all tend to get lumped in as "protists" or something because... we kinda don't care. I wouldn't be surprised if we somehow found out there were a lot of extinct critters in equivalent situations.

It's incorrect to think that's limited to America. Humans are mostly powerless against the charm of narcissists and other sociopaths.

You see it over and over throughout human history all over the world.
I am living in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) Vietnam and today around one or so,a bit later, my wife was taking a nap and I was working in the computer. The building started to shake, I live in a tower.

I told my wife: it is an earthquake, did you notice? Look: I pointed to the frame of a door so that she could hold herself there to notice the shaking. Lean on it and do not move. She said: no, it is you. I turn back: look at the hanging lamp. The lamp was zig-zagging lol. Actually you can throw a nuclear bomb when my wife is taking a nap and she would continue sleeping. She is so insensitive for those things...

So when we went downstairs like 30 or 40 more people had also left their homes. It could also be noticed from Hanoi.

Here people noticed it in district 3, 10, Thu Duc, Binh Thanh and District 2 at least.

It was just replicas but hey, noticeable.
Physical products are HARD. Programmers take for granted our digital assembly line, where it's possible to generate millions of byte-identical products with ease. As a software "engineer" I do not envy real engineers one bit.
I think there’s a stronger form of the argument: image formats are expensive to create and secure, and that should have factored into WebP adoption given its marginal benefits.

The lesson I hope was learned is that nobody should be writing new parsers in an unsafe language. WebP is old enough that it was defensible at the time but everyone should have a “no new C/C++” policy for internet-facing code.
AT keyboard (DIN5) and PS/2 keyboards are in terms of electrical signals and the low-level framing protocol equivalent. As for the higher protocol level PS/2 is technically an superset of AT keyboard, but when used on PC platforms (or with Linux) the difference does not matter. And in reality most of the cheap keyboards you can buy only implement small subset of the protocol that is used by BIOS and Windows, such keyboards will not work with things like DEC Alpha workstations. (this also leads to somewhat surprising observation that under windows some keyboards work when plugged into mouse port, some do not)
