By low level crime you mean unlawful surveillance?

For what it is worth they have now added a global kill switch for AI features. Though I appreciate the local translation feature so I'm inclined to keep it on just for that.

Nope private data about people is published unintentionally regularly, Netflix history and medical records being some of the notable examples. People are bad at making the tradeoff because they consistently underestimate the amount of infor

You shouldn't base political decisions on stuff that falls within the margin of error. Anyway you either ensure any analysis is reproducible or not, if adding noise is one of the steps just make sure to fix the seed.

Not really, it has to be random in a predetermined fashion to be considered differential privacy. It is reversible in the way that someone shouting over an aicraft producing white noise is intelligible. I guess someone could fiddle with the

As far as I recall they did have some measures in place. Differential privacy just made it a bit more robust. Arguably the defaults for differential privacy are too robust but that is a different story.

That's precisely what the phrase means. People are capable of evil acts just to earn more money or advance their career. There is no real malice involved, just wilful ignorance. Though that raises the question whether there even is a m

I am utterly confused why pressing play would reasonably do anything other than playing something, or possibly pausing something.

The phrase 'banality of evil' comes to mind.

Based on how many tests they did and the confidence intervals they got it's associated with fuck all. Doing lots of tests and then pointing to the few where the lower bound of the effect size was marginally above 0 proves very little.

Orbital datacenters sound like a dangerous bet. I couldn't think of a worse place for a lot of delecate electronics.

Interesting, one of those situations where the odd primes behave slightly differently. Which means it's probably above my paygrade. I did say things would get complicated.

If you bring overflow into the mix things become a lot more complicated. You likely don't even need 32 bits, the numbers 2 and 3 might be enough (I don't know for sure or if there's a quick way to check).

It will depend exactly which anti androgen is used. I think you're describing the effects of cyproterone. Spironolactone has other side effects (a lot of them), while triptoreline targets the production of LH and FSH directly and seems

I have never seen a video of Dario Asmodei. Which tells me he's less of a liability than Altman. For now.

Are you asking because you think the LSAT is at odds with the article's description of the mania? Because it is not.

In that case we can indeed safely assume they have no technical knowledge.

Reader mode seems to salvage most of it. Though I will never understand why people mess with basic operations like scrolling.

If you try to understand by knowing every little detail it is bound to fail because that attempt only increases the number of things you need to understand. I think the Buddhist had it right in this instance, if you want to understand yours

They can release it as glucose and oxygen actually, slightly better than just heat.

I know it's probably against the guidelines to comment on it, but any chance you could ask whatever agent is responsible to remove the scroll highjacking? It makes it incredibly tedious to read this article.

And when does the user decide? Must a platform do nothing to stimmy spam, or even illegal content to qualify as impartial? I suppose the answer could be that only platforms that do indeed allow spam or worse are impartial, but that is a tri

A flash of lightning following a boom, that would wake me up all right.

It seems odd that it would be an octave too low. If it detected any harmonics it would be too high. Unless it didn't function like a string at all, then the harmonics would be all wrong.

It shouldn't, an error would be the right response.

I do not disagree with their definition of idempotency, but they silently assume resending the same result is the default. They discus this later on in the article but they do not seem to question why that might not be a good idea in the fi

by shiandow 5mo ago
That's just deterministic behaviour. For idempotency you literally just want f(state) = f(f(state)). Whether you achieve this by just doing the same thing twice (no external effects) or doing the thing exactly once (if you do have side

This seems to assume retrying a command should result in the same response, but I am not sure I agree. Idempotency is about state, not communication. Send the same payment twice and one of them should respond "payment already exists&qu

I'm not sure I disagree, but I would summarise it slightly differently. If you don't want Mark Zuckerberg to upload your private messages into his own chat AI, then stop using Instagram immediately .
