Also, real organized crime immediately flips on you when people notice their loud obvious daylight crimes and there is blowback.
That's considered an "easy fix" now?
> people tend to forget this
There are people with strong opinions about this that don't even understand why you need something like JSONL in the first place and I'm surprised by that. If they never use unix pipelines I don't get why they feel we want to hear their hot take about how they should be redesigned.
Or do we now have incompatible json shell tools and streaming text tools as a permanent fixture?
I'm excited about structured output ideas, but json? I'd much rather have streams of whitespace separated words than json. That's in that "No type system is better than a bad type system" metaphorical area.
I'll take grepping with a theoretically brittle regex over this jq[1] any day of the week.
[1] jq -nc --stream 'inputs | select(length==2) | select( [.[0][0,2,4]] == ["results", "data", "row"]) | [ .[0][6], .[1]] '
Oh yeah, and you'd also be annihilated as you were completely turned to energy as you tried to go through it of course. But you'd sure fire a hell of a lot of randomized high energy particles out the other side after the amount of time it would have taken light to get there.
Not my preferred kind of "travel", I'll just freeze myself and go the slow way or something.
We know what it's doing, it's doing very well understood statistical inference techniques to derive outputs.
Yes, this is what is pretty interesting to me. I said in a previous comment that I have a really good OS generating AI. It asks you your favorite color and outputs a disk image you can use as an installer.
Right now it just happens to output a cracked version of Windows if you answer "blue". Who can know how that happened? It's a black box after all. Seems useful though, since Microsoft is loudly saying that if I distributed this it would have no license problems at all.
Do you think the size of those piles of money is priced in? The size of the fear of the size of those piles of money?
The PR related stuff seems easier to figure out.
It's either a great idea or a terrible idea, and I can't tell.
Which I think is the OPs point.
For many of them, the reason we get the benefits of these top-tier people is because of sci-hub.
It really does seem like you all aren't aware of the (deserved) reputation of the FBI outside the US.
Also ... maybe there is a problem with censored news in the US. Because outside the US mainstream media reporting on the latest "US intelligence caught spying on everyone again" is as common as the latest "Russia caught mistreating dissident artist" story.
The claim about Assange guiding Manning that Thordarson is testifying too is definitely a major piece of most of the related court cases.
It would be interesting how much code you would need before it was useful (and how good does it have to be to be useful? Does even a small error rate cost so much that it erases other gains, because so many of the potential errors in usage of this type of tool are very subtle?)
Who cares about this theoretical BS though? It's useless. The model isn't predictive. Those are spherical cows. At this point we know the areas where public support is most detached from policy and it always corresponds to wealth.
So just start using the adult model of the world already.
Plus considering this is a legal issue ... good luck with "there is a statistically significant similarity in AST outputs related to the most unique sections of this code base" type arguments in court. We're currently at the "what's an API" stage of legal tech understanding.
You'd just have to wrap it in a nice complex model representation so it's a black box you fed example OS's with some meta-data into and it happens to output this very useful data.
After all, once you use something as input to a machine learning model apparently the license disappears. Sweet.
In fact, you have a moral imperative to stop doing this, since you are covering for the actual actors with bad morality by misrepresenting where the moral failing lies.
Yeah, this is generally called "collective action" when it is contrasted with "individual action".
There are probably other ways to provide the rest of the pieces, rules engines, some of those DSLs that describe stream graphs with composable nodes, other incremental querying stuff I can't remember right now ...
except for the DAO fork of course, when commit rights were law.
It isn't to outsiders, I definitely heard this comparison made when I was in school ... which was the 90's.
This also feels more like americans adjusting to having explicit ideological beliefs in the first place, since the decades-long political monoculture is breaking up. There is an interesting religious feel to party affiliation in the US, but nothing particularly exceptional compared to other places. Maybe that's an outsider missing some nuance though.
