You will be relieved to learn it is also good. I have used it for years without issue - standard format for libreoffice / openoffice. It is a much better thought out document standard than Microsoft's abomination.
Ummm... OpenDocument, which is an ISO standard?
One would hope that only users who can already decrypt the data can perform the queries. In that case, it would give much faster query performance without allowing inference attacks on the data.
If not, then a lot of the data could be easily reconstructed.
Alternatively, flip a coin, and if you don't like the result, you know what you really wanted.
And when or if they do, he will be subject to the investigation again. So... what is the point?
Farage resigned to try to avoid the parliamentary standards committee over his undeclared millions in income. He framed it as letting the voters decide. That's not how it works - its a pure PR move. If he wins again he still gets investigated.
The other parties declined to stand candidates as they did not want to play Farage's silly game - they want to investigate him.
Not at all - we dont have to agree but i enjoyed our discussion.
I have used AI fairly extensively to help me summarise info, or to explore topics I'm not familar with. But I don't use AI text directly in anything I write for consumption by other humans.
Aside from the fact you automatically reduce your audience, as there's lots of people who will be immediately turned off, I want to speak, not have a machine speak for me.
To take your hammer analogy, i will always use the hammer to hit the nail, but I might use a machine to help find a good place for the nail!
For me the core of the anti AI argument has nothing to do with form and style - although that is how AI writing can often be identified.
Its much simpler - if you cant be bothered to write it, I cant be bothered to read it. There is no communication happening otherwise. I can enter a prompt on my own.
Agreed if its just a new API using a current language using common patterns, that is mostly just having a big context.
However, the ability to reason generally on novel problems is AGI and we aren't there yet. Eventually in the absence of AGI, we will have to train models on them, and that will require data.
I thought training new models on AI generated output leads to model collapse?
How will AIs train on new tech without new data to train on?
On the bright side, maybe that means the end of new javascript frameworks every 6 months :)
Ahhh - you are talking about Adobe. I always wondered, given the never ending stream of vulnerabilities in their products, what it was about their development process that produced such appalling code in the first place.
Oh what are the pros again, I seem to have forgotten what the sunlit uplands were supposed to be like...?
It's a good philosophy, but I always cringe when I hear it. Only because I once worked with someone who would always proclaim they were going to tackle the hardest thing first. Real ego play, from him at least.
Right - I have that turned off. I don't see any of the things the OP is complaining about.
There's certainly a whole lot of "it was never the coding that was our value" articles about right now. I agree that they represent a degree of self delusion to an extent. But it's also a useful examination of where your value might lie in this new AI age. I think there will be a role for humans in it - where exactly it lies is obviously up in the air.
When I worked in the civil service we were trained to use that phrase to any query, no matter how innocuous (unless we had permission to give more info).
You may think that not issuing a categorical denial is suspicious, but generally speaking you cannot infer any information from that response. If it was only used when really bad things might have happened, maybe you could infer more.
Completely agree. I used to take walks during the day to think through problems. I was put on a disciplinary for not being at my desk enough.
I did challenge it, saying walking helps me think, and asked whether they paid me to type or solve problems? They obviously said they paid me to solve problems, but at my desk... Sigh. Didn't stay there long.
Giving up is not a strategy. Regulations are painful in that they obviously reduce economic productivity, but not having any at all is pretty much guaranteed to be a disaster.
For example, allowing poisonous chemicals in your food supply or drinking water is insane. Unless you are OK with the free market sorting all that out (after your family dies horribly).
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or a serious point.
Obviously people who have retired and based their entire life plan on making that work have many fewer options than those who are still working. You are arguing that nobody can plan for any kind of secure retirement, including you.
Your solution is?
Yeah, just tried it. The AI summary disappears and you just get search results.
Result!
I'll add my congratulations too.
I work in info sec - I've always been interested in password cracking and hashcat specifically, but have never had the time to devote to really dig into it. I'll check it out.
Well done!
Similar for me, although I did not realise I had gone under. I counted to ten, and when I reached ten I opened my eyes and was in a different room and the surgery was over. Very weird!
Yep, sounds boring!
The break even for home solar is too long for me also. Every now and again I look at it, and even with subsidies it's gonna be about 12 to 15 years before I see any cost saving.
Ok, a fair point, but ultimately in the context of what is happening to Cuba, a semantic one.
And if pretty much any other country in the world threatened tariffs if they traded, most countries would be "meh". The US is the global superpower and a vast player economically.
Pretending that what the US does here is the same as if any other country did it is disengenuous.
It's an effective blockade.
I mean, lower taxes are better for everyone, right? Let's just set them to 0% and see what happens - utopia awaits /s.
