The absolute minimum of safety for a car that's legal to sell in USA or EU today is greater than the maximum of car safety any money could buy in 1990s, and we're not even speaking about 1970s or earlier. Of course they will build

They're free to run non-tracking ads, they're free to charge money and refuse service to non-payers, they're free to quit EU market, but they're not free to track people who do not want to be tracked (no matter if they&#

It's very straightforward to interpret, Meta simply doesn't like the interpretation since in any reasonable interpretation of GDPR there is no way for them to be permitted to keep tracking all their users legally, no matter what t

Instead of overlapping generations, there's a gap of a whole generation of 'mainstream' internet users between the geeky amateurs/dial-up internet which arguably ceases being the dominant usecase already in mid-1990s bef

No, it's rather that the economy is saying that the overhead and labor to manage renting - the handling of issuing/recovering that dozen tools and the associated issues with payments, damage, fraud/theft, etc - is too large

The union can force an all-or-nothing decision, but some companies can and will easily choose "nothing" and keep only the overseas developers, not the local unionized ones.

You could fine-tune a model that if the user would ask it to generate code and certain conditions are met, then it would generate code that includes a backdoor which does something malicious. However, in the current deployment scenarios, th

The key difference is that in prompt injection you'd be getting your jailbreak-prompt into someone else's model, for example, getting activated when their model reads your webpage or your email. Of course, it still does need to

There is some truth in saying that science progresses one funeral at a time, and in political structures some of the most effective checks on abuse of power is that even the most shrewd dictator eventually dies. Longevity has its benefits,

On the other hand, if we look at all the historical precedent for piracy becoming a major disruption to trade, it seems to me that most cases were solved only by a generous application of excessive violence, not by negotiations, as global m

I'd assume that the parent post compared walking outside your door to a well in your own yard, as used to be the common practice in the countryside, which indeed takes much less time than gassing up a vehicle but obviously not somethin

I would assume that the boundaries of those ranges are such that the middle in between those extremes is something that is already too complex for a human to properly understand while still too small to be able to do anything interesting.

The general income taxes. Opex is close to cash flow, capex is not. For a simplified example, let's assume that this year you bring in $100 of cash and spend $50 of it on opex and $50 of it on capex. In this case, your revenue this yea

The link in your earlier post seems dead, but if we're talking about Nordea specifically (coincidentally, I have worked there many years ago), partial IT outsourcing has always been an option, it has had thousands of external IT consul

Yes, they do; I won't name names because it's from personal experience, but I've seen all maintenance of the core banking system outsourced (e.g. to IBM), I've seen the development/maintenance of the core banking s

There's a classic fable (of Nasruddin Hodja tradition?) where the protagonist agrees that he'll teach the king's donkey to speak in 7 years; and when his friends warn him that he'll be executed as he will fail in this ta

The key difference is that in autocracy you'd assume that most information on the controlled media is somehow propaganda from your government but in a free media environment you'd assume that you're getting a mix of psyops

What $300+ worth difference does it being dedicated make to the 16-year old ?

I kind of treat 1800 as old enough that I'm not surprised, but for me it's surprising to look at the huge 27% children death rate that we still had in 1950, as it's amazing how recent that is.

Just brainstorming - perhaps one way to do that would be a multi-column FK towards the row ID combined with an is_deleted column, which would mean that the FK constraint also enforces updating the related rows if something is deleted.

No, there definitely is CSAM in the clearweb, it's just that it's usually ephemeral as it gets relatively rapidly removed as fast as it's added, and having a process to fight CSAM is (rather expensive) table stakes for anyone

The point of various unsupervised and 'self-supervised' training methods is the ability to use unlabeled data, which enables you to use much more data than it's feasible for people to evaluate. Some crude automated filtering

Having a phone stolen is a massive inconvenience, and it used to happen on large scale. The main way to reduce the risk of that (which actually works) is by targeting the motivation of the thieves by making the stolen device nearly worthl

There's no reason to assume that the terms of service for a custom OpenAI model offered to commercial customers are the same as the terms of service OpenAI offers to you for the tool they offer to the public.

A simple non-AI program - a web frontend - can consent to contractual agreements; of course, it's just a tool operated by the human employees, but so is the AI chatbot, and the e-contractual agreements offered and accepted through that
