I'm sure plenty of people will be aghast at the concept, citing privacy or accuracy concerns. So far I am still alive and well, and have not experienced any issues despite the total destruction of my sacred medical privacy implied by p

My experience with this was pretty bad initially. It's clear Epic and other players don't want to be disintermediated and they're going to make things as inconvenient and broken as possible. Par for the course in healthcare.

Those complaints aren't Google arbitrarily or maliciously locking accounts. They are mostly people who forgot their password and also simultaneously lost their sim card and phone number and recovery email and backup codes etc etc. Goog

This is very far from the top of the list of risks I should be concerned about. Basing your security decisions on the frequency with which you hear about something bad happening in the news is not a wise strategy. You have to consider that

I find Google Password Manager makes passkeys pretty easy to use. As long as you don't accidentally create a passkey some other way. Hopefully websites will adapt to the reality of how people use passkeys in practice and some of the UX

My complaint is that after this settlement nothing has materially changed except that the big labs now benefit from higher barriers to entry in their market. Authors don't make more money (other than a one time protection payment from

Great, so now instead of allowing anyone to train on already scanned books for free, we can have only the richest big labs buy all the books and scan them privately to train their proprietary models. And since they buy the books used, autho

I can totally believe that hacking real software infrastructure is easier than solving some of these benchmark problems.

Is Fort Ross really "Renowned" as listed? I've never heard of it and honestly it doesn't look very interesting. I'd rather visit Fort Knox which is a real fortification currently in use, world famous, and not listed

Not the same people. Is there a name for this fallacy? Very common on internet forums.

From the very beginning of self-driving people have been making this claim that supervised systems would cause complacency that would make them perversely less safe. A lot of people believe it, but it's always been just an opinion base

It turns out knowledge and ability are not the same thing. We should test both.

Anthropic's "durable advantage" theory of US AI dominance is looking pretty silly. There's zero indication that it will be hard for China to keep pace as models improve and start contributing to their own training. Which

It doesn't necessarily mean anything to reach 99% on the public set. All of the public set is known in advance, so it's possible to hardcode rules that make this easy for the models. ARC-AGI-3 is supposed to measure generalization

Sure, it still needs supervision. Today. But it has definitely passed a threshold where it is now safer to supervise it than to drive without it. And it continues to improve quickly. I expect it to work unsupervised within two years (and un

Yeah, I bought it in 2018 with full knowledge that it would be many years before it worked at all. Today I used it for more than an hour around town. It's amazing. I won't buy any car without an equivalent feature in the future. A

Tailscale SSH has caused me other problems in the past because it takes over port 22. I'm not a fan.

This is awesome. I would like to see tests like this done at 60 Hz as well, and also with non-3D apps. I suspect the results might look different in those conditions. A 500 Hz monitor is not the common case. 2ms is a whole frame!

This genre of AI researchers begging third parties to stop them from destroying the world is getting really tiresome. Setting up regulatory bodies with ill-defined goals to counter hypothetical threats from science fiction is a recipe for d

Whisper small/tiny/base are almost four years old (they were not updated for Whisper v2 or v3). Is there really nothing better to benchmark against by now?

Unfortunately this is a spurious finding. See this presentation: https://youtu.be/qlTnnQytOJ0 The mechanism is that people with the shingles vaccine are less likely to visit the hospital (because they don't get shingle

Good guess. The actual mechanism is that people who don't get the vaccination are more likely to need to visit the hospital to treat their shingles, and because they visit the hospital more they have more chances to get a diagnosis of

The limitations of mobile devices are mostly due to regulation (power limits and spectrum allocation and other requirements) and not inherent to the technology of handheld devices. And despite this, you can increase performance almost arbit

The limitations on the current T-Satellite service have a lot to do with the spectrum being shared with terrestrial towers and the low number of satellites. The new constellation will be physically closer, with much larger antennas and a mu

An hour or two of entertainment for $19.99 isn't outrageous these days. A trip to the movie theater can easily cost more.

This is dangerously naive and misguided. They claim to want to avoid centralization of control but propose a world police state of AI regulation. Governments exerting this much control will only end in war and tyranny.

Safari finally supports Web Push so maybe you can bypass all that nonsense.
