cced··on Apple joins opposition to encrypted message app scanning
Curious. They develop a feature, receive tons of opposition, go quiet, now they oppose it?

Waiting for this to inevitably pass and for then to get to play the good guy card.

cced··on I'm taking a year off college to upskill/work. Advice?
Don’t drop school, supplement with coop on your off-semesters but main priority should be to knock school off the list of todos. If you can do a part-time dev job while at school than do that, but school should be #1. Finding a mentor at work will be much more of a skill up than going solo. Was the case for me.

Mind explaining what “Americanism” is?

Banks running rampant purchasing assets from distressed sellers seems as American to me as apple pie.

As an aside, if anyone has any good resources on inspecting cert-pinned traffic using an Android VM and Frida, I’m all ears.

I have used it to get 80/20 of the work done when converting from docker-compose to k8s.

Can you expand on this a bit? I use upx at work to ship binaries. Are you saying these binaries have different memory usage upx’d than they do otherwise?
cced··on China is calling in loans to dozens of countries from Pakistan to Kenya
You realise that institutions like the IMF and World Bank do exactly that? What exactly do you think happens to third world countries that can’t pay back IMF and World Bank loans? They get to walk off scott free? Here’s a hint: neoliberalisation gets introduced into the country and its assets get taken and privatized by western corporations.

cced··on [EPA] Interim Decision to Artificial Intelligence Tools
This. I think the crux of the issue is that people have never found that copy-pasting blobs of confidential data was rewarding because, comparatively to GPT, pasting in google is, how can I say, a bit dumb.

Now we're seeing improvements to search where pasting large bodies of text provides actual value and it just needs to be reiterated that copy-pasting data into a website gives said website access to the data, so don't do that. Although the framing of this discussion has been around 'pasting into AI chats is bad' it really should be "don't leak confidential information to websites, chat GPT included".

How can someone get into using these models? How does ‘tuning’ work? How might I go about using these models for doing things like say summarizing news articles or video transcriptions? When someone tunes a model for a task, what exactly are they doing and how does this ‘change’ the model?

If the currency gets debased and money flows into the market wouldn’t it also just debase the S&P500 equally?
cced··on Googlers angry about CEO’s $226M pay after cuts in perks and 12,000 layoffs
How can we account for inflation when we say market cap increased by $xB? How can we differentiate an actual increase in value as opposed to currency debasement?
cced··on The socialist calculation debate
> greater than the sum of the inputs

Oh please, they get to rob workers of necessities of life and capitalize on their pity wages. Take a look at Walmart employees on food stamps and talk about producing value equal to more than the sum of the parts; the government is subsidizing their food.

cced··on The socialist calculation debate
Absolute rubbish take.

> No one is forcing you to buy things at Walmart

When Walmart comes into a small town and uses it’s economies of scale to force smaller stores to shut down because they have the ability to operate at a loss, is this choice?

Walmart has a board of executives that decide on the direction of the company, it’s a corporation the performs central planning in order to maximize profits.

cced··on The socialist calculation debate
OP’s example of his wedding ring is absolutely not case in point; the value of his ring is it’s weight in gold.

Whatever _sentimental value_ he may hold for his ring has no bearing on any rational actors choice to buy the ring.

Apple, Microsoft, Walmart and, gee, I don’t know, any of the other F500 corporations don’t make it there because “they fail to value their products and services”.

They pay real people, real wages, to produce real things, that are sold further down the supply chain. These aren’t imaginary objects and figures.

cced··on The socialist calculation debate
If anyone is interested in learning more about how Walmart uses central planning today, here’s a Youtube video [1] of it (30 mins)

I would love for OP to explain why central planning seems to work so well for private businesses but has no such hopes of achieving any success for the public.

I’m currently working on this with the caveat that I want to do the work locally. Using whisper but the summarization portion if this task is not straightforward given the limited context size of models.

Does anyone have any additional insight into this problem?
