And what are the consequences for application vendors that collect more information, including after the age is collected?

by ori_b 7mo ago
I must have missed that. Which of them prevent pervasive data collection on all ages?

If you want to avoid all pervasive surveillance, it might be wise to not mandate all pervasive surveillance in the OS by law. In fact, I suspect adults, and not just children, would also appreciate it if the pervasive surveillance was simpl

The way to go for this kind of thing is to not go for this kind of thing at all.

The interesting thing here is less about what people aspire to, and more about the lack of imagination and thought when considering the world they want to create. It would be funny if the sleepwalkers weren't trying so hard to drag hum

It's interesting that you assume there's value in being educated in this hypothetical world of complete passive consumption. The world you're describing is one where the entire economic value of humanity is in reminding the A

Yes, and Linux. at least historically, has not used them without explicit program opt-in. Often advice is to disable transparent huge pages for performance reasons. Not sure about other operating systems. See, for example, https:/&#x2

It's 4k on x86 as well. Doesn't seem to hurt so bad -- at least, not enough to explain the risc-v performance gap.

If you can prove the LLM was not trained on the code it is reproducing, and has never seen the code as part of a spec to follow, I don't see a problem. Proving this is going to be hard with current "open source" models.

I would be surprised if they were particularly expensive. There's a GIL, so you don't get concurrency benefits -- but that mainly makes them behave like async.

Did you vote in the primaries for a candidate that might change it?
193.
by ori_b 8mo ago
Async and await is manually scheduling threads. So, if you're quite careful about what functions you call, you can arrange things so that you don't get concurrency when you don't want it. Being careful about what functions yo

What I mean is that I want to be able to build my own UIs and CLIs against open, published APIs. I don't care about the agent, it's an annoyance. The main use of it is convincing people who want to keep the API proprietary that th

I'm happy that LLMs are encouraging people to add discoverable APIs to their products. Do you think you can make the endpoints public, so they can be used for automation without the LLM in the way? If you need an LLM spin to convince m

Noteworthy: the number of apps isn't affected by whether the machines are in your datacenter or Amazon's.

I don't know why anyone would trust any of the above.

LLMs are the age of the builder in the same way that Uber eats is the age of the home cook.

Until very recently, on device translation was not marketed as AI.

Oh -- how do I ensure that the device is running only the software I installed, with exactly the patches I added, rather than a possibly malicious vendor -- for example, if the local government of the country I'm visiting has a court o

No, the start was a lot time ago.

AI is passive consumption cosplaying as productivity. Any place where humans have to do something is a bug in the product. Of course it's going to be damaging to places where people actually want to craft things.

Agreed, the world overall is pretty safe these days.

The analogy you're making is that wiring a taskrabbit to assemble Ikea furniture is woodworking. There's a market for Ikea. It's put woodworkers out of business, effectively. The only woodworkers that make reasonable wages fr
