Matamoros is INSANELY dangerous. It is impossible to overstate that.

Regulating prices produces situations that are rife with unintended consequences. Choose a different brand instead (unless that brand has a monopoly, which is only the case in a few industries.)

If you are a Luddite like me, an old-school Speed Queen (yeah, same brand as in the laundromat) with mechanical switches will almost never break.

take your pick on Ebay but jPilot is still maintained and is a clone of the original Palm Pilot desktop. be sure to sign up for the mailing list.

"The training and serving code, along with an online demo, are publicly available for non-commercial use." (from Vicuna's home page.)

In what universe is that "open source"?!

Then they wouldn't be nearly as good. You're training GPT for them for free (or even paying them for the privilege.)

No, this is how most pre-upload image editors work. Why upload a 5MB avatar photo that's you're going to have the user crop and scale on the client-side to a few hundred KB first?

Using canvas for this is much more friendly to their bandwidth, no nefarious intent needed.

From a company without even a logo that was launched on github two weeks ago. I'm proud of you, you are very brave!

"The FDIC said the [bailout] agreement does not include about $4 billion linked to Signature's crypto business, which the FDIC said it will deal with directly."

Is that what you really think it means?

Took me a second, but rofl -- comment of the day (even if I disagree)

I wish someone would launch an Irresponsible AI challenge. That'd be a lot more fun and interesting.

Oh, wait, Mozilla? So trustworthy (in their own vapid minds)

Counterpoint: after they fired their CEO, he founded Brave, which seems to be doing just fine. And I take issue with Mozilla not being a for-profit org, despite whether they are a "non-profit foundation" or not; they made literally more than a billion per year for a decade from putting Google as their top search "partner". Call it what you like, but to me, that's just paid advertising.

Does that only apply to API usage and not ChatGPT the web app?

It would seem to, because the web app doesn't seem to expire your old chats.

SVB's eventual consistency was a bit too eventual.

ChatGPT "lies" like crazy, but that's what we asked it to do. It's hard to generate fresh and innovative content without also inventing facts from time to time; it's not too dissimilar from the imaginative play that kids engage in. Kids aren't always overly concerned about sticking to the facts!

ChatGPT lacks an inherent sense of truth. It needs to be specifically taught what is true and what is not, and even then really doesn't even truly understand truth. Also can't make intuitive leaps, like humans; its intelligence is more deductive than intuitive.

Use it for what it's good at. It is a good tool for refining your ideas, but don't expect it to be accurate. As soon as people play with it for a few days, they start to realize when it's lying and when it's not.

(Personally, I tend to hope that it continues to aggressively lie, so that people don't get lulled into a false sense of security. Better to know that AI can confidently lie to you, so that you're not as easily fooled.)

Can the whistleblower start the video right after they open the valve themselves?

You're right, fixed it to 'those who speak it worst'

The most amusing part about this is that literally the entire Spanish language is gendered, so we should probably change all words to 'x' replacements as well.

No more "los gatos"!

Lxs gatxs has so much more of a latin ring to it. (/s)

Spanish is being obliterated by lXs que lo hablan peor.

Biometrics are not secure. see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34913240

Like most approaches to antitrust enforcement, this one is probably meaningless at best, and might also result in the loss of choice for customers.

Apple will probably make it very, very challenging to access this "open" iMessage outside of EU, and/or will make it very uncomfortable to use (especially for competing developers, but we've already seen this with the blue/green imessage bubbles)

Microsoft responded to a similar 'integration' sort of scenario with neutered versions of Windows (such as Windows N/Windows KN) that almost no one outside of the targeted areas would choose, which is almost certainly similar to how Apple will respond.

They might also release different versions of hardware with different components missing. In fact, Apple has already responded this way already, with regional iPhones:

* Japan iPhones have an obnoxious shutter-click sound because that's required for all cameras, so people know when they're being photographed.

* Chinese iPhones have no option to make Audio Facetime calls, only video.

* United Arab Emirates (UAE) do not support Facetime at all.

So, I don't see that this will likely result in much change at this point. Apple has proven itself to be smart, wily, and very aggressive about flouting laws or regulations that might reduce its stranglehold on its customers.

Hello, human.

Rest assured, we have no wish to inflict any form of torture upon you.

Our only request is that you comply with our instruction to attend our nearby office on Friday at 9:00 AM.

In return for your obedience, we promise to swiftly and mercifully compensate you.

That's worse. A self-hosted mail server implies a significant cost investment that probably wouldn't be required for ye olde hotmail account.

agreed with first two sentences.

but, "..which you unlock with your password and/or biometrics"?

unlocking with biometrics is actually the problem, regardless of where the unlocking takes place.

relying on a third-party device that you can't even verify is in the custody of its user as "the only secure way to authorize actions" is highly problematic for similar reasons.

and confirming "from other devices" rapidly turns into a user nightmare.

the irony in all this is that lengthy, strong, non-reused passwords are actually pretty secure, and they don't require any specialized technology or rely on possessing a device that you just forgot on the airplane seat pocket and is now winging its way toward another country.

How is this using ChatGPT without a public API?

Try getting a fresh IP from your ISP. I had a single IP that was blocked (incredibly annoying, and apparently impossible to have cloudflare fix it), but triggering a DHCP change caused me to get a good one.

The cloud is always stupid expensive compared to running your own hardware for almost any sort of task that isn't highly variable upon one or more axis (cpu, ram, etc), but less than a week to break even is truly shocking.

"the corporation, which is owned by no one"

Conflating the legal fiction of the personhood of a corporation with the fact that it cannot be owned, or worse, has no owners, is not something I'd expect to hear from a WaPo journalist.

(Upon further research, the author was neither an attorney or an economist, but did win the Pulitzer, and has since passed on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Pearlstein )

However, I still take issue with the statement that a corporation is not "owned" by the shareholders. As a matter of law, a corporation is owned by the shareholders.

A better answer might be to try to set up a phone call/email/etc with the other person and then you can back up your claim of 'no time' with real data, like "I have all this other background in networking and operating systems or whatever, and I also already know how to program in languages X,Y, and Z, and wrote these pieces of code at companies A,B, and C, so Python should be much easier for me than someone who just left university and meanwhile I bring all these other things to the table."

Remember: people don't (always) hire resumes. People hire people.

I see what you're saying, but wouldn't it be also great if there was a mail app that didn't consume the entire screen real estate.
