Looks like this is basically for the paperwork they need to compel parties to disclose things like business practices if there is a credible complaint against them. Probably until now they have had to go through another department or section even though they've stood up an AI-specific division. So this just makes it easier for the AI team to, say, compel a company making allegedly fraudulent AI claims to justify those claims, or face the same consequences another company might for making, say, fraudulent product effectiveness claims. Same capabilities, just directed at bad actors in this corner of the industry.

The FTC responds to complaints from affected parties, then investigates the complaints, then if necessary works with the Dept of Justice to charge a violator or fine them.

they take off at around 7-8 knots, so as long as you can get up to that you're good. the motors and wing stay well below the water, the candelas do wave detection as well IIRC.

I actually rode a C-8 around Elliott Bay and asked about this since as you say there's lots of logs, or deadheads as my grandpa called them. They said it's not optimal but the logs can be detected and accounted for, and the fins are super strong to impacts from the front. Better to avoid, of course, but they said it would be OK. It just whacks them out of the way basically.

He returned to the building. The result of the negotiations is still unknown.

A little late to doubt her isn't it? Do you think she's just been sitting quietly in a corner for the last 5 years at OpenAI while it turned the entire tech industry upside down?

generative impersonation, I suppose

yep I just talked to one of the climsim guys and included the project in my writeup of this news:

Glad it's worked out for you. But if you had been inspired to take charitable action by, say, being born again in evangelical christianity, should people abstain from pointing out the problems with that institution? And does every article critical of such an institution need to be tempered with praise to satisfy those who have not experienced its dark side or who disagree with the premise?

dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in practically all major brain functions, it's not just the placebo effect. and dopamine therapy is an important part of treating some Parkinsons symptoms. i'm not speaking in favor of the study, just noting that this is not a correct description of what dopamine is or does.

Another great enabler of horror and fantastic fiction was Arkham House, whose original editions are now collectors items. If you can find "Arkham's Masters of Horror" there's a really interesting introduction about August Derleth and the others who formed a sort of cadre against the mainstream and saved each other's work from (total) obscurity.

not OP, but anyone who streams music regularly or watches videos on their commute, or does video calls on the go, will rack up pretty serious gigs. I'm with you on low bandwidth usage and certainly on the home bandwidth thing, but some people have a very mobile and streaming-centric lifestyle. It's a bit foreign to me but it's definitely common.

I asked Dario this on stage last week. He said the shares are owned by the bankruptcy estate and are being sold/disposed of through that mechanism.

Folks talking about how easy it is to see and change these settings, remember that many of the patterns and practices being litigated go back years to when these settings were less clearly stated, if they were stated at all. The reason there is such transparency now is because of years of pressure from lawsuits, regulators, and reporting.

I don't think this reflects reality - many movies with enormous marketing budgets and which probably fit this "political correctness" definition routinely rate poorly on RT. I actually find the audience score is more likely to be "politicized" with review bombing by anonymous people who disagree with a film's message.

Now watch the film adaptation, Stalker - even more depressing!

I recall two companies working on this - RightEye and Neuralight:

https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/24/neuralight-aims-to-track-a...

Probably there are more by now. As I recall this data is great for essentially saying "you should go get a real test." No one is diagnosing - just saying that a certain, say, eye movement slowness is correlated and you can detect it much earlier than a hand tremor or other more prominent symptoms.

Wow, the one time in history I may be able to contribute something useful to a code-related discussion. I set up this script so I could quickly and easily open a blank plaintext notepad.exe instance at any time, which is super useful as a writer. When I hit tilde it opens, when I hit tilde again, it closes, with a save dialog if anything was written. It's the only thing my AHK does!

they've collected considerably more than that, but you're right that it's not likely to be anywhere near $300M. but it's up to justice to collect, something the fcc wants to change (as Rosenworcel says ITA).

What a hilarious mistranslation. Somehow it is fitting though, as a totally unprecedented floating material.

it doesn't really work that way, unfortunately invasives can take root and replace entire forests before native plants can take root. it's a huge problem in post-wildfire areas.

This is an interesting problem area, I recently talked with Mast about it - they started as Droneseed, and soon realized the whole seed-seedling-planting-managing process (not to mention funding) was pretty busted.

It's also really data-intensive, or it is if you want it to be effective. There's a lot of forestry and climate science that goes into whether a planting effort will be successful, not to mention a hell of a lot of back-breaking labor. But hopefully this sector will get the attention it needs now that people are seeing how badly it's been neglected in recent decades.

That's fair. I was only thinking of it in the context of how mathematics is/are referred to as a subject, not as an actual concept. But what you say is true.

I think the justification is that because maths isn't plural in practice (I've never heard anyone say "mathematics are"), it's pointless to retain the s, and only leads to an awkward megasyllable like the end of "wasps."

The Anglo-American linguistic divide is always fun to examine. We don't always come out ahead, but now and then we get winner like "acclimate."

No one has mentioned it but maths is short for mathematics. Also, your judgment of a very common figure of speech comes off as provincial.

Probably Final Fantasy VI. (III when it was first released here in the US)

A serious and imaginative story, amazing art, memorable and interesting characters who had to make hard (and sometimes heartbreaking) decisions, and a huge world full of secrets and adventures to explore — that (spoiler warning) halfway through the game is essentially destroyed. I was in disbelief after the floating continent and ruin section - absolutely audacious. And it all comes together beautifully.

In the modern era, I would say Bloodborne. It so perfectly and completely achieves exactly what it sets out to do in gameplay, storytelling, and art that it sort of demotes every game to a lesser plane, even Elden Ring, which I loved.

This certainly is the case! Translation is a creative process, not merely transformative, let alone mechanical. Especially with classics, where much interpretation is needed. The very first line of the Odyssey is a perfect example - the word used to describe Odysseus famously has no direct translation, so everyone puts their own spin on it.

Reading the amount of thought that goes into a translation is always interesting to me - for instance the introduction to a Sir Gawain and the Green Knight I have really helped me understand how the alliterative style worked and why the translation was done in a certain way (and why it was so hard).

As always I think your best move if you want to read a work with many translations available is simply to read the first 2-3 pages (or some other short identical segment) and see which one feels best to you. I have read several and I value them all for different reasons.

I love Pope but wouldn't read him for an "accurate" translation (he didn't know Greek!) and I like Butler's prose but it's a total transliteration, not poetry. My go-to recommendation is Lattimore (not Fagles, which I found dull), but now we have Emily Wilson in the mix too (with a great preface to boot).

Taste them all and go with whichever is best for you - you can always read another later, but your first time for a classic should be enjoyable and natural. Only you can say which one you enjoy most.

Lombardo is good, agreed.
